We are currently testing the SMK Animations Pack on our server. The pack replaces some animations with faster and smoother ones. It also adds a couple of new animations and possibilities, like blind firing, peeking around corners and climbing over walls. The Addon is not required, so if you are not running it, you simply wont see the new animations. To see how it works and what it's capable of, I recommend watching this introduction video.
A list of the key combinations can be found here.
And the Addon itself can be downloaded here. (Password to extract the Zip file is red)

Since the last planned ACE release before ArmA 3, there have been countless small hotfixes, updates and changes, which have only been available via "Verify and Repair" within Six Updater. Because this method was slow and confusing to many, the ACE team recently changed their policy back to the usual update procedure with increasing build numbers and proper changelogs. However, the signatures will remain the same to ensure a higher multiplayer compatibility.
The last build was released on 8th of February and has been installed on the server today, please do the same on your end.

2012.02.08 - Good News Everyone
Cancel your suicide plans...
Our server will stay online, for at least another month. Yay!
2012.01.29 - Bad News
Today I have a very bad annoucement to make. Due to financial reasons our Server will go offline for good by the 8th of February (11 days). Unless we get enough monthly donations flowing, to keep it alive. I'm trying my best to prevent the shutdown, but there is very little hope, due to the expensive server cost and the small amount of possible donors.
We had a great time, no doubt. It was fun playing with you guys, and I want to thank you all for keeping this small community alive for almost 3 years now. It's time to move on, maybe to seek refuge within a different ArmA Community...

ArmA2.co is home to the MAD SiN ArmA 2 Community.
Founded in 2009, we are a small group of ArmA 2 players from all over europe, named after the Psychobilly band Mad Sin, because Stein Dr. Solido, guitar player with Mad Sin, is one of our founding members.
Purpose of this site is to keep our members and friends informed about ArmA 2 and our gameserver, as well as helping new players to join our server. It's not so easy to join our server sometimes, because there are a lot of AddOns (Mods) required to do so.
We are not one of those hardcore-realism groups, however, we do practice teamwork and tactics and we like a challenge. So we mostly play small Coop missions without respawn.
Welcome to our Gallery. Here you'll find Pictures and Screenshots made by our members, most of them taken during our mulitplayer sessions.
There are currently 175 Pictures, last updated May 11th, 2012.
