ARMA 2: Private Military Company 1.00 released

[ball0fire 10]

See Hamm's post just above yours. Those are the weapon classnames to use. Like, to arm up with the new AA12 put this in your player's init:

removeAllWeapons this;  {this addMagazine "20Rnd_B_AA12_Pellets"} forEach [1,2,3,4,5]; this addWeapon "AA12_PMC";

That'll give you the AA12 and 5 reloads.

thnx that workd, but all i can say is wtf were BIS thinking.. or not thinking whne they ferget to add ammo boxes , weapon crates

Nice vid Ky ...... I noticed a piece of paper blowing across the road. Was that a feature pre-PMC?

[pokletu 0]

I don't have ANYTHING mentioned. The patch gave an error, and now it says, WRONGLY, that I'm running 1.56. No new map, vehicles, campaign, faction...

hmm interesting reaction. I stayed away myself because there is very little that you actually get with it. I mean, they list guns that are already in the game as part of this addon on the PMC info page. That UAV looks interesting but not worth the money. After BAF's map (which is basically pointless) I knew that was a lost cause for PMC too.

The campaign is absolutely attrocious. I saw it coming since the very first trailer, but I didn't expect BIS wanting to pull CoDMW sooo badly.

And also health regen and unkillable squadmates? Are you kidding me?

Its inside single player-campaign-operation black gauntlet.

Armex is inside multiplayer-new-Takistan-coop 8 Armory

i missed half of the story because of the horrible stuttering in the scenes. so much for that awesome in-game playback feature huh?

[kylania 568]

Health regen? I wish! My muzzle is all over the place and there's not a medic in sight.

[metalcraze 290]

Yeah it has health regen. I just got hit with 5 bullets from .50 cal at 5th mission from 20 meters. And guess what? A few blood stains on the screen and a second later - not a scratch.

Sad to see BIS go from CWC and Ressistance campaigns to something that is even easier than CoD. I mean I was dying in MW at least.

[AnimalMother92 10]

Hmm I had a feeling this would happen. Guess I'll be skipping this one.

[SPC.Spets 21]

Health regen? maybe you are playing on ultra recruit mode

You, my friend, are what I like to call - the shit stirrer.

Stop saying BIS are trying to copy COD, they are not. They stated before they were going for a more "epic" and "involving" storyline with this campaign, why not have some cool new effects and mechanics, even if they might not be 100% realistic? They're only in the campaign anyways. Personally, I find myself enjoying these more original, less realistic campaigns more these days, like cheesus' Bastard Squad campaign. They're fun and refreshing instead of mundane but realistic, and actually tend to be more innovative.

It's simply the guys behind the campaign trying new things, including Gaia, who added camera shake (even before OA was released), blood splatter and player-movable external, cinematic cameras to Arma 2 with Eagle Wing.

Ok, can somebody help me? I dont see the campaign, I dont see it!!!. Is my english so bad? damn im going to play Cobalt instead :(

[pokletu 0]

I can't either. Native English speaker. It didn't install for everybody.

It seems the campaign was only part of the DVD patch file. Steam doesn't seem to have it. Steam is looking like a midnight Valve Time (5 hours from now maybe?) now release? Not sure, all my Steam friends are buzzing like angry bees waiting. :)

If you don't want to wait for Steam to release, get PMC from Sprocket. Hopefully the initial download flood has stopped and you'll download it faster. Sprocket DLC works just fine with Steam Arma2.

My main question is How do i get Zargabad to have all that destruction?

Second the "proving ground map" is excellent. BUT it is too small to play with. The onl way you can play is if it is a straight heads up match.

Both teams will see each other right from the begining. Shapur was the same but it hd building to hide forces behind. I love the map though. But please bigger.

I like how you pretty much don't need to buy the DLC. All the PMC's clothing isn't high detailed so having bad textures really looks like normal. Same with their vehicles. They are all black And unless you are right next to them. You don't need to see detail.

And so far, it looks like the campaign is free too. Thanks. I'll still buy it though.

My PMC on Steam isn't working at all, it looks like it's not installing it correctly. I look in my ArmA2 Launcher and it's listed as dlcsetup/pmc/pmc_data. Aagghh, I want to play this now! :mad:
