Bolstering Arma 2 / OA

[breeze 0]

I have been playing this game on and off I don't know 2 years and I think it's the best game ever. But my brother still thinks Counter Strike is My point is that if you look at stats of who's playing which game at any time of the day and you can see that Counter Strike 10 or 12 years later is still at like #1

What does this have to do with Bolstering this game?

This game could have a counter strike feel to it if we made good templates for mission makers Rescue the hostages, stop the bomb and buying the guns based on your last round also new maps with the same templates so as they changed rounds it had some variety.

It is in every players interest as well as the developers to want this game played more often and by more people I think any serious effort made to mimic a game like this with ummmm way better graphics would do very well here. Lets not leave off the score at the end of each round very big for the counter strike player.

I started another thread earlier about downloaded content and many of the folks there feel that the developers are making smaller maps to cater to the run and gun gamers and trying to bring them over.

I think if we could start producing some good buildings warehouses a sewer system other areas within our large cities. What Arma 2 offeres in a map is fantastic and should never be changed but it can be stretched and improved by bringing in other city elements like a sewer system or many buildings that would bring on lots of close quarter firefights.

I mean there aren't really any games out there that have the space that this game has if we could bring the short game in and make it good as well as keeping the long game well then you have something that no other game has really.

I hope the others are wrong and that BI is not leaning that way to these tiny maps that aren't good for much.

However if you have other ideas that you think would make more people want to play this game or try it I encourage you to share these thoughts because again it is in all of our interests to see it happen.

And turn Arma into just another FPS just with more room, no thanks.

There were 5000 people playing counter strike the other day and 500 playing Arma, Let me be clear I don't like counter strike, I don't like domination either but its good for this game. You can look at my suggestion and say that it is your personal opinion that Arma be played this way or that way, But lets be honest the more people that play Arma the more money that's made and hopefully the better product we continue to get.

I would like to see this game continually evolve. Without a Strong user base that wont happen

I don't want this game to have "a counter strike feel to it."

I think somebody already made some TvT hostage missions, if you go to armaholic you might find them in the arma 2 missions section.

IMO the best gameplay that arma 2 can produce (although ineffeciently, do to the jittery mp engine) is TvT (team vs team). Its a no respawn human vs human tactical game type. Underplayed online in my opinion, but its often played on lans so the mission can be restarted quickly and no one gets bored.
