Heaps of bugs in ArmA 2

Recommended Posts

I am somewhat disappointed with the amount of bugs in ArmA 2 (even with beta patch). Did anyone actually play through the game? What were you thinking?

I've been trying to play the campaign for two days now but the amount (and variety) of bugs is simply incredible.

MP is very frustrating as well, mainly for two reasons: performance is abysmal even on the lowest settings (I have a Q6600 and HD4850) and the AI seems to have xray vision and superhuman aim.

In fact it's much worse than ArmA 1 with latest patches. I find this very puzzling since this isn't a radically new game, more like an upgrade. Did a different team develop ArmA 2?

I guess I'm being kind of negative. I did enjoy the first mission (which was mostly bug-free). The second mission (attacking the city) is pretty much ruined by the fact that your squad can see and reports on stuff that's on the other side of the city and obscured by 10s of houses. There's also nagging stuff like civilians not reacting when you shoot one of theirs, or your squad saying stuff like UNKNOWN PLANE, FAR. Yeah, the plane that dropped us off a minute ago. How about people that glow indoors? Or missing audio, or missing subtitles, or missing waypoints, etc.

I spent 40 euros on something that's unplayable. I feel that I deserve answers.

Well its fine for everyone esle. More specific details about your hardware and software would be apprecieted. Yes there is some bugs but nothing is perfect straight away! so patience :)

Relax.

You purchased an unfinished product due to strict Nazi publisher deadlines.

BIS will fix it over the next 12-14 months. The community will also add to it when the tools are released.

Yes, I agree, the campaign and MP is just not ready yet. They have not completed the netcode or fine tuned performance issues. There isn't even any "stock" MP Missions yet. lol

Seien Sie einfach geduldig

Ive not experienced any of these issues on my side, also i strongly suggest you dont bash BIS (it annoys me and others)

BIS made both ArmA and ArmA2 and like any game of such complexity will always have bugs to begin with and taking into consideration they havent completly finshed ArmA2 yet, id suggest you hold your comments till the 505 version is realesed

I guess I'm being kind of negative. I did enjoy the first mission (which was mostly bug-free). The second mission (attacking the city) is pretty much ruined by the fact that your squad can see and reports on stuff that's on the other side of the city and obscured by 10s of houses.

Again ive not come across most of these problems but all I can do is repeat the fact that the game isnt 100% complete and there will be bugs in a game like this. If you may have noticed alot of BI's products upon realese have always had their share of bugs but once they start to kill the bugs we end up with a very good game

also theres already a thread regarding impressions of ArmA2 so I suggest you post there from now on

Are you kidding? Look once again, you have there whole campaign that can be played in coop, several types of clasic MP scenarios such as deathmatch, CTF, 3 warfare scenarios and also mission templates with missions that can be placed anywhere in map.
