PC Format review 88% and SP Demo disk

Recommended Posts

i guess that explains why there's a lot of folks here that love the game on the one hand, and also a number of people that are not that happy with it on the other hand; those that are happy are probably the ones who are more concerned with the MP-part of the game while singleplayers like me kinda got the short end of the stick.  confused_o.gif

i remember that OpF was huge in the singleplayer aspect. i completed the campaign several times and there was also a number of good single missions. plus two add-ons.

ArmA out of the box is not a great SP experience, but i hope that the upcoming patches might improve that a little and i seriously hope that an addon will finally bring an intense SP campaign to ArmA.

I was also disapointed with the campaign, it's complete and utter crap compared to the CwC campaign. I finished the first two missions and then just went: yuck!

I much prefer MP and making addons. Also I just love to drive around Sahrani in a Hmmwv, I spent a couple of hours doing just that and I remembered why I stuck with OFP. The freedom. I just love it, I like virtual freedom.

this is my first post on the BI forums so i would like to start by saying HELLO biggrin_o.gif

Right i ve had this game now since the 16th feb i gotta admit the single play campaign is a little bit of a let down but im not really bothered by that as i LOVE multi - play side of games anyway .

so far ive enjoyed the online side so far but my biggest let down is that there aint enough dedicated servers and the ones there are sometimes plagued by some badass lagging at times

I cant compare it to ofp as i never played it but all i can say that this goner be one bloody good game ONCE they have sorted out a few things in updates

arma is an unpolished diamond. in time it'll shine like ofp did.

But it is not just BIS' job to make it so. We need missions and so on and that'll take some time.

Couldn't agree more especially because I will only play the singleplayer campaign.

Keeping my fingers crossed that either BIS can do something about it in the near future or the modding community.

By the end of the month patch 1.05 will be out, with some new features + fixes, and it will bring the version 1.02 players/servers into the mix meaning there will be more servers once all servers have arma 1.05 uploaded wink_o.gif

And yep, some things need sorting, but they will be smile_o.gif

I posted about the sp demo a while ago in the troubleshooting forum, because the helicopter mission is broken confused_o.gif

There is a mission to clear a small town with a team of about 5 men with silenced weapons and a larger infantry mission where, by the en you controling about 19 men (If you dont get any killed at the start) with a few vehicles to play with.

I will buy this game but I'm gonna wait till most of the bugs are patched out, the demo not even working properly kinda put me off for now.
