metalcraze 290 Posted June 24, 2011 This happened earlier. Once the BMP is dead, I get a "x,y follow 1", the leader runs up towards a fountain in the middle of, ahem, Montignac, and then stands there doing nothing.. After five minutes or so a lone OPFOR passed by and was immediately gunned down by a broadside of wedge-formation (actually quite hillarious :)) but that was it. I guess some OPFOR got stuck somewhere. I had the same. In my case I had MG hiding in the grass. Either it's a mission maker's fault or AA2's AI's fault which won't just rush into the battle when alone, preferring to hide instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hurby 0 Posted June 24, 2011 Hey guys, just popped by to congratulate you on this awesome release, I played some today and I'm very impressed. It's really a pity that I won't be able to join you today or tomorrow night online, I'm out of town... Would love to play some good old OFP. Except it's new and more like awesome than good.

sander 14 Posted June 24, 2011 The markings on vehicles and helicopters in the original OFP are of heavy units, such as the 3rd Infantry Division, which formed the vast majority of US forces based in Europe. Only a single airborne infantry battalion was stationed in northern Italy at the time. The light forces of the RDF were slated for deployment in secondary theaters, such as the middle east, as they lacked the organic combat power required to hold their own against a Soviet mechanised onslaught. Therefore it is likely that mechanised infantry units are employed in a dismounted role in the Malden island chain unpleasantness. This would plausibly explain why the squads have an organic medium machinegun. The various light infantry units had medium machineguns at platoon (2-3 depending on type of unit) level at the time that could be attached to individual squads and one should not underestimate the scrounging abilities of a NCO corps that felt the need for an organic MG in light infantry squads. Additional weapons could be acquired by stripping them off support vehicles that had medium machineguns for air defence/local defence purposes. A precedent existed in both WWII and Korea when US units hoarded additional automatic rifles to boost the firepower of squads beyond the original allotment, a situation eventually formalised.

themaster303 22 Posted June 24, 2011 All of the songs from OFP are in this demo. yeah all songs of the campain are original. but i did a remake of the original main theme ;) It's true -you can't fake that 80's music so i ported the 80´s to 2011 :bounce3: http://cwr.armedzone.com/files/ofp-main-rmx-10th.mp3 cwr2 demo is real great , brought back memories in a better engine of arma2 ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow NX 1 Posted June 24, 2011 cwr2 demo is real great , brought back memories in a better engine of arma2 ;) Definatly, i was playing some MP last night and the overall feeling of the coops was just great and had more immersion than i had in all official releases for A2. Oh BIS i wish you would rather do another Coldwar game instead of the Futuristic A3 :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpinghubert 48 Posted June 24, 2011 Oh BIS i wish you would rather do another Coldwar game instead of the Futuristic A3 :( i hope its not too difficult to implement the A3 features to CWR2 in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gossamersolid 155 Posted June 24, 2011 i hope its not too difficult to implement the A3 features to CWR2 in the future. The issue isn't usually "features", it's the completely remodeling/retexturing required on the engine change. CWR2 was out on ArmA 1 as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

munger 25 Posted June 24, 2011 It's been six or seven years since I played the CWC campaign so perhaps I've developed a rose-tinted view of the game, and forgotten the dodgy parts like that. Now I kind of feel bad for pointing out one of the dear old girl's faults :D OFP was always somewhat rough around the edges, that was part of it's charm. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CameronMcDonald 146 Posted June 24, 2011 I played through the "campaign" up to Montignac Must Fall, and gosh, it brought back some good memories. Especially because I was running all the improvement addons I've got - made the AI especially lifelike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metalcraze 290 Posted June 24, 2011 There is a big issue with BMP-1 Looks like AI can't aim precisely at it / shells pass right through BMP-1 without dealing any damage. Encountered in two missions thus far. Heavy Metal - it took my and other tanks about 15 shells to put the BMP-1 down as shells were exploding behind it, dealing no damage and the aim rhombus was chaotically appearing and disappearing as if AI was losing aim every half of a second. Battlefields - M1A1 fired several shells at BMP-1, soldiers fired 10 LAW projectiles at it and it got no damage at all. It looked like projectiles just pass through/behind its cannon. Suggestion on how to improve Battlefields When it starts soldiers go into a danger mode which takes them a very long time to get to a waypoint - better set it to default (aware) and let AI handle it upon engagement. Also create several tank waypoints leading to the defences and synchronize them to rectangular triggers so tanks and infantry will move together. Because right now tanks just rush there and get destroyed nearly instantly by being pounded by rockets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grub 10 Posted June 25, 2011 Bravo gents! Bravo! This is so well done. Man I had goose bumps the whole time. The memories. And, seems this is how I choose to remember OpF (graphics wise) its like I never left :p Was Steal the Car always in Lamentin though? Wasn't it in La Trinite? Just wondering is all, not complaining.

W0lle 1042 Posted June 25, 2011 Yes Steal the car takes place in La Trinite originally. But I quickly converted it from my "Steal the car in Chernarus" Series because I thought that this mission is a must have. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggyluv 2130 Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) Anyone getting stuck due to ACE armor values? Im on the Near Montignac mission and it seems unbeatable as my squad gets eaten up by that roving BMP. Man it's pretty tho with Ace and WarFx ( with Ace Ball tracers -best tracer combo imho) Edit: NM. As if on cue, my AT took him out right away after reporting :p Edited June 25, 2011 by froggyluv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sudayev 27 Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) I don't have OA yet and when I installed CWR Demo I'm getting a lot of error messages - missing files, textures, cant see missions, western units etc.So, do I need OA for this ?

malkekoen 17 Posted June 25, 2011 The Demo runs perfectly for me, no problems. Works great with ACE ;) (mostly). Quality piece of work, the Islands are really beautiful! Nicely done!
