This game is boring

Recommended Posts

Hi, i had ofp:e, and the pc version for quite some time, and i loved the gameplay and campaign but i got Arma today and i couldnt wait to install it, when it was done i played a little campaign, boring, Mission editor, boring, and single missions, boring. The only thing i like is the swimming part. I havent tried MP yet so, im kinda worried about that, anyways you can disagree with me or whatever but its just BORING~!!~!~!!! crazy_o.gificon_rolleyes.gif

By default...yes...!

I still have somes hopes that some kind of official addon might bring back the fun... just remember "Resistance".

OFP was the first game to create a fully interactive all in one battlefield.. this concept was often tried with merging simulations before, but never really reached...But now the new shine is off...!

Pretty much been agreed by many people here that the campaign wasnt real well thought thru, and not very immersive.

On a good note, a very editable type game alike Ofp, and with many new commands opening up new doors for mission making.

There's already a good number of quality missions released by users here, and as time goes on, Im sure many more will appear of larger scale too.

Personally I think of Arma as a long term investment, I havent gotten past the third set of missions in the campaign due to lack of quality, but, aside from grass being removed and new lag added due to 1.05, Im very happy with Arma in its current stage in development, and look forward to what the community has to offer up in the form of more addons and missions as time goes on, especially once addon editing tools start getting released biggrin_o.gif

Arma is still fresh and there is no mods yet like the one in ofp. But wait until the tolls come out and... ww2,FDF, WGL, FURR, SLX. IRAQ, AFGANISTAN, LEBANON

All of these will be in the future and with the realism boost and graphical boost aswell, this will be amazing far beyond ofp!

I do have fullest understanding for many of the "original" Mod teams working no more with the same enthusiasm as five years before. One does not only see this phenomenon in the ArmA/OPF mod-scene.

For me, Armd is a platform rather than a common game and the default compaign is just sample.

maybe the default compaign is boring. but you can create your own compaign that you feel interesting just like I am doing now.

Anyone know if BIS is still thinking of redoing the OFP Cold War Crisis campaign for Arma. That would be the ultimate. To replay the old campaigns but with Arma's beautiful graphics!!!

Give it chance. I think BIS counted on the community to fill in the gaps they left.

Remember technically this is a filler game while Game2 is being made.

Well you say: 'editor is boring'

What is it that does make the ArmA editor more boring

than OFP's?

Is it the fact that basically it's the same but that everything

just looks better now and that there a lot new features

scripting wise?

Or are you just disappointed that there aren't so many mods

out yet?

Did you probably only loose your motivation by playing ofp

over and over again and now you can't get the: 'wow

this is so amazing i can do what i want here' feeling anymore?

Maybe it is boring because of all the bugs in the game? Missions that are completed, yet *not*. Strange behaviour in the AI. Sound bugs. Or maybe because SecuRom fucks it all up? Or maybe beause the storyline is utterly unimaginetive? Or because the cutscenes are utter crap? Or because the graphics is a let down? Or... I mean, how on earth can anyone tell this is a good product? Maybe in a year after some patches, and maybe after the community get the mods out, but as a product this is really bad. And I do not understand the slave mentality of some people here that defends this company? What do you own them? You have given them the money, gotten a mediocre product, and refuse to say its bad? Any company needs feedback, ESPECIALLY critic!

Creating own content and playing it yourself is extremly boring because of lack of surprise.

I started playing ARMA 4 weeks ago in that time Holds maps by beserk have been refined and have become very popular. New coop mission come out almost daiy. Some I love some i hate but i always try them.

What other game can you play on the PC that changes this fast?

Not to mention RTS 4 etc

Unless there has been a change, their website states that there will be a spiritual successor to WGL. They've been playing with the idea of changing the name and some aspects of their simulation since well before they moved their website from squad engine.

If the default mission was not boring, I can sure you will not play it twice! No mission can always give you surprise!

Arma give you a lot of chance to get missions from the community, if you don't like to create it by yourself.

anyway, if you feel Arma is boring, you can try to find another one that is not boring you! nener.gif

I disagree on the topic. I play this game on 640x480 as my rig just can't handle any more and i still enjoy every minute of playing this game. I skipped the campaign as AI is always crappy not just in Arma but in general. MP is what its all about. Arma unlike any other game, has a mature community and this combined with its realism,graphics and mod community makes its a game that is way ahead any other game. All the bugs will be cleared sooner or later, we all know that..

Only thing is didn't like to see is that BIS created another server list based on Gamespy which in my opinion isn't necessary at all!

P4 3.0 GHz

1 gig Ram

ATI 9800XT (256mb)

When reading this i really can't find a hint that he's talking

about bugs or so.

It's the atmosphere, the storyline and the way the missions

are setup he's complaining about.

That's why i popped up asking for the reason about the

editor being boring.

If you ask me, the editor excitement is only guided by your

own imagination. If you can't set up an interesting or exciting

fight within the editor in ArmA but you could in OFP then

something must have changed from your side.

The only plausible reasons could be: not that vide variety

of different units because of the missing addons yet

or: having done almost everything in ofp already and not

having the same motivation as in ofp when it all began.

But for the second case i'd say one would be same bored

in ofp editor too now.

I must say the second reason counts a little bit for me

since i really have done a lot in editor from ofp's beginning

and i don't find it that different in ArmA so that i could say:

'wow what an amazing game i've never seen before'.

But i can't lead that back to be ArmA's fault - it's more

that i've spent too much time in ofp and that i've been

looking too far behind the scene (AI) so that they can't

amaze me with unbelievable stuff.

If this thread where about bugs or graphical issues it would

have to be closed right after opening since there is the

official complaint thread which has to deal enough with

such posts.

Quote[/b] ]And I do not understand the slave mentality of some people here that defends this company? What do you own them? You have given them the money, gotten a mediocre product, and refuse to say its bad? Any company needs feedback, ESPECIALLY critic

And to this i can only answer you that some people can

run this game without performance or graphic problems

(like me) and others can't.

Now there are bugs present in the game - i agree, but

i've been following BIS way of aproach to the comunity long

enough to know that they are going to be fixed.

People start defending BIS when others pop up and say:

'this or that doesn't work - WHEN BIS IS GOING TO FIX THIS?' or even worse, if you know what i mean. wink_o.gif

I can't say I find ArmA boring but it is much more predictable than OFP. For example....a UH60 dropping from the sky....you can almost certainly predict the outcome if you are within the vicinity wink_o.gif

The gameplay within ArmA is at times very unrealistic or bordering the realms of BF2, especially in situations where you are faced with the impossible task of an enemy soilder proned behind an ammo crate or vehicle wreck......not even a T72 can break down those defenses pistols.gif

Sadly, gone are the sounds of falling tree's and crusing buildings as a platoon of tanks charge through the landscape......this is something I miss greatly from OFP.

Overall, ArmA is much more atmospheric than OFP that's for sure.....I can't shoot those pesky flies biggrin_o.gif

"Overall, ArmA is much more atmospheric than OFP that's for sure"

?

absolutely NOT

in OFP i fell in love for it's dirty cold war atmoshpere, islands were super,

ARMA is too "clean"

there ain't not dirty burned houses as in OFP

OFP had super atmoshpere

ARMA is much advanced graphically, but it has no this thing that make you scared wink_o.gif

there is no soldiers animations as in OFP, there is no ability to jump (they could do it !!!wink_o.gif, AI knows all, graphical performance after patch decreased so much (maybe new Starforce in PL edition) that i have all on "low" (in brand new PC) , i would be very happy if BIS made OFP 2 in 1985

fighting ACU soldiers (i dont like this camo at all) agains fictional SLA is not fun for me

no Hinds,

they could do working SCUD

they could do 2 smaller islands instead of one very big which causes lags

what the f*** is HDR here ?

first missions in OFP were suuuuuuuuper, real cold war crisis smile_o.gif

because in triger there are no camera effects i can't do good missions with scenes :/

soldiers are not desanted from boats (why there are boats if AI can't get out on beach ? and gest out in sea and swiom without weapons)

OFP was for me much more atmospheric , it was suuuuuuuper, sometimes i still play "steal the car", "bomberman", "sniper team", "blow convoi - fuel dump look prety sure when they burn"

OFP Died, This is just OFP with better gfx and some new features, so in turn it shouldnt take long for this to die with the crap campaign and small amount of units and what not.. but the community might be able to turn all that around..

MI24? Civil Plane? + many more.. Updated Editor? "Cool" new campaign? Fast Roping? we had all this in OFP so why not of added it into ArmA.. :S but i guess we have to do the hard work.. but without the tools we cant do that.. so my guess is that day by day BIS loose customers.. and in the end only people who kept with OFP will stay becuase they no the full potential. But we need the tools for that to happen.
