Hold games?

I was messing around in ARMA the other day and noticed some servers are hosting hold type maps. Never playing them I jumped in, and had a blast!

The game mode is two teams PVP or PvAI (not as fun) and they hold areas starting from their base and going toward their enemy's base. You can do custom loadouts so when you respawn you are equipped the way you want and have a great time.

At first I thought well I guess I can deal with a bit of a grinder map. But after playing for about 20 minutes of a stalemate at the middle point I got my team organized. I flew in my whole team except a few guys into the middle point while myself and a door gunner hover near by blasting everyone that came in as reinforcements. After the center point was capped a team-mate brought in the APC, loaded up everyone on the ground and we rolled into the 2nd to last point and dominated there.

By this time the enemy team reacted and was armed with AT and AA so the momentum was lost, again stalemate. I got a group of guys to arm with smoke grenades and we kept tossing them as we went along to cove our movement and got into the last point. As the enemy turn around to deal with us the rest of my team pulled a berserker rush across the open field and we won. It was great great fun! We should try to put it on the server and then set a date to have everyone populate the server and try it.

Besides the warfare we have a hold pvp mission on the server called 'inferno: chernagorsk' that works similar to that. I think the one you are talking about is devastation? Look in your cache files and you should have the mission name.
