 Some general etiquette that is helpful to new players includes:
-# Use the ACRE volume control (default LAlt + Scroll Wheel) to lower your talk volume when contact with enemy is expected. Limit talking to only when necessary to avoid giving away your position.
+# Use the ACRE volume control (default Tab + Scroll Wheel) to lower your talk volume when contact with enemy is expected. Limit talking to only when necessary to avoid giving away your position.
 # Map marking beyond the briefing phase is not allowed on Global and Side channels. If creating marks on the map for your own reference, ensure you are on the Direct or Group channel before making marks.
 # Ensure you are not moving in front of other player's lines of fire, and be aware of friendly unit's movements to avoid friendly fire.
 # Ask if you are unsure of the current weapon status (Green, Yellow, Red). Ensure if you are "Weapons Yellow" you only engage if fired on first or in immediate danger, to avoid giving away your group's location.

 If you are killed, do not re-slot into a different slot in order to spawn again unless specifically directed by the admin or Game Moderator (usually due to mission-start mishaps, bugs, or administrative reasons). Those attempting to circumvent this will be subject to ban.

 === Joining the Server ===
-The "Primary" or UnitedOperations.Net - SRV1 - ACE/ACRE, is the main ArmA 3 server used for gameplay at United Operations. The server is up 24/7 (aside from occasional technical or administrative issues), and as long as there is room in the mission players are free to join (unless otherwise dictated by a pre-slotted event). For frequent play times please refer to the [[Arma_3_Average_Playtimes|average play times page]]. If you are disconnected while attempting to join, verify your mods are setup correctly according to the guide. If the server is full, you may wish to join the waiting room channel in Teamspeak until a new mission is started, typically players will inform those in the waiting room that a new mission is starting.

 '''Once slotted, ensure you note the player who is slotted into your groups leadership slot''' (usually a Squad/Section Leader, or Fire-Team Leader). This will be the player immediately in charge of you once in game.

 General talk is allowed between players via teamspeak and ingame chat before the leader is ready to brief, but keep in mind the [[Game Server SOPs|rules]] regarding conduct on the game server still apply. '''Once the leader is ready to brief, talking is not allowed unless the player is directly involved in the briefing (i.e. Squad Leaders, Pilots, etc)'''.

	When you first connect to our server you will be presented with the slotting screen. Here at UO we allow the mission commander to select which slots he wishes to play his mission with; at the start of a mission one player will choose to command a mission then he will call which slots are available to be picked, once these slots have been called you will be permitted to start taking any of these slots, for your first few games at UO please restrict yourself to an infantry team-member and steer clear of high-value assets like aircraft and leaderships slots as these often require a lot more skill and experience and can potentially ruin the game for everyone if misused. If a game is already in process choose a slot in a squad that already has a leader.		When you first connect to our server you will be presented with the slotting screen.
