Combat Ops

[dmarkwick 261]

I'm guessing that this single-player "exclusive content" is there at the behest of clueless suits who believe that people will piss themselves in fear rather than miss out on it.

Makes no odds at all to me, as long as we're all MP compatible after the patch then we're good. ArmA is a MP game after all

Thanks for the update Maruk! Good to see the information flowing!

Quote[/b] ]We intend to release this patch first as a public release candidate first before we move on full official release.

Even better!

Q..

For those with 1.06 and playing crCTI on a remote server (If there are any 1.06 servers out there).

Does anyone know if the building/wall placement bug has been resolved?

Yup, Thanks for the head up Maruk !

=Grip= if ComOp is totally unplayable you'd have a point, is it? If you're demanding a patch though, you'll have to wait like everyone else.

And if you're of limited funds, you've had around about five months to research whether or not to invest your full portefolio in ArmA: Combat Operations. Plus by now, it's should be common knowledge that BIS has been forced to release ArmA in different stages worldwide to maintain control and funded.

I never do, that's why BIS products appeal to me.

I don't have Combat Ops... yet. I like most everyone else here have a non-U.S. copy.

You must have clearly missed my points I tried to make in my post, I never said I had limited funds or didn't know the history of BIS. And I never said that Combat Ops was "totally" unplayable, infact what I said was why bother wasting a customers time releasing a game that is not finished and will not completely work after "out of the box".

It sounds to me that you like most everyone else posting about "cry babies" don't really care about where your money goes. I for one give a crap and it is BS that anyone should pay for the game only to open the box, install and then realize they cannot fully play the game.

Call me a cry baby or whatever, it's just more obvious who is playing on a burnt copy of this game and didn't pay for it, not that anyone would do that now

In case anyone of the CombatOps owning people read this... do the SLA grunts now have different looking dark green slightly shiny helmets?

Seen it in one of Dyslexcy´s ( no clue how he writes his name ) ArmA videos and he told me that he thinks its just because he has it on highest details and nothing exept the US Deltas with the new helmets would have been changed unit wise.

However i kinda doubt it as i never seen it on any screen... so i cant get the effect in my Euro ArmA version... anyone with CombatOps can test this?

It's impossible to provide a dignified answer for such hollow accusation. BTW it's getting too Off Topic and personal. Any questions about the validity of my copies(plural) should be directed to me in private or to the moderator W0lle, whom I've provided with proof.

Anyways back to topic.

I asked before to go back to topic, yet you seem to ignore me and keep going on it.

I give you 2 days vacation from this to cool down and get familiar with our rules.

Does anybody understands the reasons for not including in patch 1.07 and made by it common unified version of the game those so called exclusive features

Quote[/b] ]features will remain exclusive to the US version ArmA: Combat Operations (most notable is probably A10 single player scenario and new cutscenes in the campaign made specifically for the US release)

?

Why the hell is not ? And after all those they tell us dont by counterfit copies? Respect our rights. And if I allready have one european copy? Are they really expect I'll by another one US ? And won't by pirated one then? A-ha

I was counting all the 1.06 servers that are currently available in multiplayer and found this:

Guess it's just a joke, so i must confess that i was a bit confused.

[mattxr 9]

He is the guy who tests the new beta patches online i guess, he had 1.05 early too. Its not a joke Shadow is a beta tester i guess.

[W0lle 1050]

If you need that "exclusive content" really that bad and can't live without the new cutscenes then well, you might need to purchase another version.

I doubt a few changed cutscenes and a SP mission is worth that though. Important is that the MP part is compatible which happens once the 1.07 patch is out.

Ah okay - didn't know that. Would like to see him start testing the linux dedicated server soon

The UK exclusive mission was posted online, so someone will probably do the same with the US A10 mission.

No need to buy another version, just download the mission when someone is kind enough to post it online. I know Atari wont like it, but we all payed for the same game - hell the 505 area guys payed more!

No big deal, just irritating. It's simple enough to download the stuff anyway.

I can't find any retailer in the US with the game available.  

EB Games has a release date of May 8th listed. Amazon says "Available Soon".  Was there some kind of delay?

Can anyone in the US confirm purchasing a physical copy?

You can order it on the Arti website..

I ordered my copy from the Atari website on 4/26/07 but it's flagged as backordered now. No ETA on shipment.

I'm sorry to go up against and quote a moderator but thats just utter pants, if it's only a few cutscenes and SP mission why is it exclusive?, are they really that good?, have the European purchasers not been waiting longest for content like this? has anybody stated why this is the case, and not just stated it as being so?

Expects WL but hey someones gotta ask if no one says

ARF..

i tought we all were beta testers! grrrrr

edit:

[mattxr 9]

Were just the pawns on the chestboard i guess  

Whats happened has happened and no one can change that now, We will all have learnt a big lesson from this BIS will learn there lesson to not annyon half a million people or so and the people will have learnt to be patient and acept what was done and why lol

Anyways Im looking forward for some Specs/Performace/Screenshot and videos

Well excuse me of beign idiot, exactly what so dramatic has happened? 1.07 is due to come out and people can play at same servers which as it should be.

EDIT: For me it is good news so that I can finally stop using a beta patch.

Why you should get a WL just because you say your opinion? This is a forum not a dictatorship (even though some people here exactly say this).

Now you say you don't go and buy another copy just because of the new cutscenes and exclusive missions, that's right as I also wouldn't bother.

Afterall the campaign isn't that great (sorry BI) and just some changed cutscenes or intros doesn't make it any better. It's not like the campaign in the US version is completely different.

Like Maddmatt said, sooner or later the exclusive mission will appear on the net, it's just a matter of time.

The exclusive stuff is a Publisher (marketing) issue, we had the same situation as the 505 version came out. You can't really blame BI for it, it's all about money and make their customers feel 'special'

Agreed in whole. But the fact itself is quite iritating. As far BIS sold to us an beta version of the game and use us as betatesters who also paid for that services instead of being paid ! And now when this starting to  look like more or less finished product, they start to cut us from the final product in it's probably best features ! That's unfair and shows BIS attitude to the community, I think. And this way speaking only to stay in borderlines of board rules, though it's could be said much more, as it's happens at many national boards.

Have you not stopped to consider that it might be a *PUBLISHER* issue, not a BIS one? It has been mentioned a few times, but very few people seem to want to stop and consider that before launching into attacking BIS.

[Nameloss 0]

it's all about money and make their customers feel 'special'  

And from other hand to make other their customers feel quite 'unspecial'. And really why those stupid betatesters should feel yourself as something special? Since they already bought beta and test it ? That's excellent idea, no really...

[NeMeSiS 11]

And now when this starting to  look like more or less finished product, they start to cut us from the final product in it's probably best features !

Yeah, a few cutscenes and 1 random mission with an airplane are absolutely the best features of the whole game!

Get over it, in a few weeks you can download them yourself.

Are you really believe in that ? A publisher decides what developer should or shouldn't include in his copyrighted product ?

A publisher wanting to have something 'exclusive' for their version which increases their sales is quite plausible
