Question about multi

[unmerged(89506)]

Hey guys, I plan on starting to get online. I have a few questions though...

1) Can I just 'hop' into a multiplayer game with humans and start up as a minor?

2) Do I need to download anything? *I have HoI- Anthology without any mods/patches besides what was included in Anthology.*

3) Is there is a list of basic 'house rules'?

4) Which is better for online play? Arma or Dooms?

Thanks. I might have a few other questions, but for now I think that's all of them.

1) To play in multiplayer you first have to forward your ports and setup your firewall to accept hoi.There's a thread about this sticky in this forum, it's one of the more annoying things in this game, so good luck

2-4) Most of players use the latest Armageddon 1.2 VBLV, otherwise more and more players play with arma 1.2 ZBLV that is a little change in the game, maximum air sizes stacks are set to 8 intead of 4 so it raise the game flow.
To get it that's pretty simple go in your game files : paradox interactive/doomsday/db/misc.txt/maximum of air sizes stacks 8 (instead of 4)

3) For the house rules players usually use Aussie rules or the ones liked in my signature

I hope I've answered at your questions, see you soon in the battlefield

Alright thanks a lot. I changed the # of air units in a stack. I'll try my luck with the firewall.

Forgot to say, i have GIP. *I don't know why/how I overlooked that*. I doubt it, but does that change the multiplayer?

Graphic mods don't change version. I myself have GIP and SKIF for my vanilla 1.2 Armageddon.
