What do you *HOPE* will be in ArmA?

[NeMeSiS 11]

I hope BIS will change Arma scenario from communism to Israel vs Lebanon conflict!

Yes ofcourse, just when they have finally finished the game they will change the concept and let the releasedate slip for another year...

But there will be a mod, im sure

I hope for Dynamic Weather, Dynamic Destruction (ground/terrein and buildings and even vehicles, i hope, when destroyed or changed (vehicles, grounds, and terrian gets some hits, damage) they will never been damaged or destroyed at the same way! never the same way of damage and destruction, no animations! but on the realistc way: a building get's hit by an sabot, the sabot goes trough the building, and exploding inside wall or room, the building may collapse because the gravity pulls the building down, or if you shoot HEAT, it does not penatrate and just explodes at the building, and the whole wall gets a big hole, or it collapses    

And i hope for a 100% dynamic game!    

EDIT: Also I wish to have lots of addons, from older ages, and with a big difference in arsenal, not only modern or veeery good weapons and addons, but also those old, forgotten, and not very effective, in this modern combat world

True, there are newer Russian systems but Russia isn't in the game. Northern Sahrani is a poor communist country, it very well probably will have Shilkas as we have seen one in a video.

Well, they could have multiple AA systems, Shilkas alone wouldn't be too good. Some Gadflies (SA-6, SA-11) or something else would be nice.

And i know "it can be modded into the game", but it would be nice to see these weapons in the campaign/missions and some online matches too.

Heheh,your funny.

Stuntman,those wishes though nice are a bit too far fetched for Armed Assault,Game2 possibly but AA,I doubt it,as they said dynamic destroyction is specificly in Game2,as for terrain,I can't say because we haven't heard anything on it.

If we are truly talking about some extremely small and poor communist state even shilkas might be on the newer side. ZSU-57-2s on the other hand..

LOL indeed

I know that Game2 has said that it wil have the dynamic things I talked about, but, think if AA have it to? It's just a wish   and since they delayed the game with one year, the game is going to be much better then it was for one year anyway  

But If AA have some "dynamic" suprises, they are surely welcome!

True,I am not saying your wishes are a bad thing nor am I trying to demote them,I am just stating that they may be a bit far fetched for AA,but we'll just have to wait and see won't we.

[Lou Montana 101]

I have to add my little wish : Armed Assault featuring General Guba just a little time ^_^

Something else, I'd like speech VoIP (with LipSync), and a not-so-heavy anti-crack-cheat-copy protection... I know that this point is not "game" related, but nothing may slow the game.

And I expect of course that the streaming function works the hell !

Let's throw a madness of soldiers once and play a 6 hours mission !

To make it, I hope they found a nice Savegame system (the old one was sometimes buggy), maybe via radio soldier or contextual action ?

Off course! I didn't mean to say something against you, or disagree your meanings! It is your meanings, and I have nothing to say agsinst your and others meanings! Since I won't disturb others meanings, and other things which I have no participant in.

smarter soldiers (if you run out of ammo it shouldn´t be too intelectually challenging to take some from dead comrades or from dead enemy soldiers)

Well, a soldier (who, by the way is payed for doing his/hers job, killing people to give the US more oil.. erhm I mean, to make world peace) is pretty screwed if they don't return to base with their own weapon, so choosing to take an enemys weapon lying on the ground is pretty out of option, but as you said, taking ammo from a fellow soldier that is dead/or atleast incapable of using the rifle anymore.

I'm wishing for real time balistic creator tracker thing, say if a fragmentation grenade goes off, it actually randomly calculates the shrapnel so a nearby piece of metal could be thrown through your legs etc, but saying this i wouldnt want it to ruin the fun with a shrapnel piece ripping your brains out by stupid AI and killing you.

Im a fussy bastard about these things

[Milkduster 0]

Speaking of shrapnel, it would be cool to have tree bursts. It could be possible I suppose with that new material penatration. If a grenade or artillery shell hits a certain material the intenisity of the blast could be more or less amplified. Then again the graphical appearance might not be appealing. Like haveing the trees split like they do in Crysis would be out of the question. So thats just a thought...

Oooh intelluctually confusin,I like that.

And I did not take it as such a thing as per agreeing or disagreeing,I won't jump on you for thinking differently,afterall,everyone is entitled to their own opinion.-

[Lou Montana 101]

I add a couple of things since yesterday and a OFP play :

Let's crawl under some vehicles without "bumping" !

Let's make soldiers unable to climb REALLY BIG slopes (West Malden... )

For mission editing :

When "enableradio false", just cut off the radio, not just "not showing and hearing the messages", cause when you want a soldier speaking, he waits until his "invisible message" is done.

and for radio speech <30-50m distance, soldier shouting.

Here, and good day with the Flashnews 100 !

(it's 11 o'clock and still not working, so do not jump on it and cry after me )

I was referring to more specialist weapons like SVD, RPG and such. And not just take ammo from a fallen comrade but also smokes! Oh yeah, the language should be more realistic (listen to modern day american soldiers) and not something from a 1950´s movie.

I hope the game don't turn into a camping nightmare since there will be more vegetation than ever. But I saw a video and the M4 has a scope...

[meyamoti 0]

There is nothing wrong with sitting in a place and defending yourself,this isn't like bf2 where you go into a persons base and just kill them over and over (unless scripted to have respawn points) But 'camping' as you call it,is a bigger danger in this game,you stay and your foolish because you have given away your position,not to mention somebody could pick you off from any direction,OFP is not always or usually about close range combat.

And its pretty simple to fix the camping issue,go around the camper and go somewhere they won't see you and pick them off,usually behind them or so.

Question is how will people be recognized in uniform and whatnot,a name above? Sounds kinda odd to do so...but its getting worse and worse each day,just yesterday I was playing bf2 and (theres a point to this story and it has to do with what I'm explaining) I respawned at my own base,not even 3 feet from a 'team mate' the person shoots at me,so I figure maybe I startled the guy and thats normal. So I move a bit,well the person continues shooting and eventually TK's me,his excuse? Red name bug,needless to say,I was a bit upset that somebody could not identify a persons uniform that was only 3 feet infront of them,thats just sad and makes me fear for some of the bf2 community comming to armed assault if they can't recognize the difference between uniforms.

There is no such thing as camping in a realistic game.

Ambushes, tactical concealment etc but not camping. When have you ever heard anyone in real life or in an action/war film say that someone was camping?

Camping was a term invented in the early days of multiplayer games Doom 2, Quake, Quake 2 to refer to someone who stayed in one single advantageous spot (next to a player/weapon/ammo spawn). It was bordering cheating to kill players as they spawned or hog the big weapons. It had more significance in those games because the narrow linear corridors made it much more difficult to flank such a player.

The term just doesn't apply to most games anymore and especially not to OFP.

[meyamoti 0]

Considering you don't respawn (which imo is great) thats pretty much true,I rather enjoy dieing in OFP and not getting back up to fight unless I restart or so.

[VISTREL 0]

I know it sounds kind of late but looking at how impressive latest screenshots look, Id wish BIS would add DirectX 10 features. It would certainly make more people buy teh game thus there will be more noobs to pwn.

[Ukraineboy 0]

be more noobs to pwn.

You're whats wrong with the OFP community

[Lou Montana 101]

IMO he said that people that don't know OFP will buy ArmA for DX10 graphics, then get shot by OFP veterans who do not care too much about graphics. Well...

[Sosna 0]

I hope that sfx and music will be treated completly seperate, because in ofp with music off some sound effects also get turned off (multiplayer beep, mouse over/clicks).

[Guest Ti0n3r]

Well, nothing is more dangerous than a n00b on the battlefield
