Arma2 OA vs. ACE MOD (multiplay)

[.da.Trademark 10]

Hi all, I was wondering what the community feels about OA in its latest update versus the ACE MOD for the standard Arma2 game? Do you feel that OA should get modded to be more fun or is the online multiplay good nuff? Any input is appreciated. Thanks

Largely you'll be fine in vanilla depending on what aspirations in realism you have.

The thing I missed the most in vanilla OA was accurate rocket ballistics.

The current ones seem alien and it makes shots with the AT4 at 200m+ into a guessing game (where loss is very expensive) unless you have these strange values in by heart.

Also I tend to feel like a half man/half vehicle without the stamina system.

Yea, I just watched a youtube vid of an AT4 and they can reach well betyond 200m with pretty good accuracy.

Ill be getting OA eventually but was curious if I would end up rather playing ACE MOD instead. Does OA have capture the island?

Hmmm... and you dont get tired from sprinting. I guess I could deal with that.... I just like Commanding in CTI... and mostly winning =)

OA/BAF is fantastic even in Vanilla.

ACE can be great fun at times, overwhelming or confusing at others and sometimes downright sucks (fatigue...) but is so fully featured. :)

Personally I play both ways, but generally more vanilla/mods instead of ACE.

Best combo in my incredibly humble opinion :rolleyes:

I prefer playing with just simple sound mods and perhaps some retexture replacements.
