=COOP Types=
General rules:
#''DO NOT CHANGE TEAM STRUCTURE''. Certain instances will be allowed but this will be very rare and approved by the QA Team and QA Admin.
#Troops should not be walking past 1k without contact
#Convoys are generally a no-go. They are time sinks that usually have little purpose in relation to the mission. Consider a deploy point near the objective if you want to use vehicles.

==Assault==
Our most common type of gameplay is an assault mission. Mostly consists of infantry warfare with the options of assets used (helicopters, IFVs, HAT teams, etc). A straightforward mission consists of 
*A few objective (1 large or 2-3 smaller) on average.
*If specialties are included, resistance that challenges them
**Tanks should have other armor to neutralize
**Air should have targets that are entrenched or very mobile
**SAM team should encounter air contacts (Attack and/or transports)

==Defense==
Defense missions are a difficult COOP type to do. We '''DO NOT''' accept a defense mission that involves sitting in one central location and just shooting until mission over. Should you want to make a defense mission it '''MUST''' have another purpose i.e.
*Hold the location and counter-attack after you have held
*Assault a location and hold it from the enemy counter-attack
*Transport supplies/civs/etc from your location, then retreat
These are just examples of purpose. As always, we encourage you to make it interesting and flavorful to your mission.

==Armored==
Rare and challenging missions, these consist of the group playing primarily as armored assets. General rules to go by are:
*Assign an AI for loader positions and let the players do COMM., DRIVER, and GUNNER positions
*Usually you will split fireteams into two 3-man teams. Be sure to switch out the normal slots (AR,GREN,ECT) with Crewman slots.
*Higher Leadership (SL/PL) will normally run in some form of lighter armor that is capable of picking up and transporting troops will still having some firepower

==Naval==
Arma tends to not work well with water. Sometimes it will play out nicely and other times it goes wild. That being said, if you seek to make a naval focused mission expect some heavy editing. General guidelines are as such:
*Most static ships aren't able to be boarded without the assistance of air transport. We recommend NOT using these as the mission objective
*Be sure your ships are able to transport the necessary troops with the boats you pick
*If you want to use ships as an asset (for instance landing troop on shore with armed boats as firesupport) it may be better to make these a specialty slot
