Player or team switching after death

[Sneaky5150 10]

In Arma, if you died but had another playable team member, you could switch to that player.

I see the menu to switch when I die, but can't pull up the menu to choose a team member to switch to.

Anyone else have this problem? Or, can one now only switch while alive?

Its apparently a bug. We can only pray someone will remember to fix it for the next patch.

We can only pray the next patch comes soon.

while you're still alive, you can press 'T' to teamswitch.

Thanks for responding. Thought I was taking crazy pills. I hope to god that's a bug, coolest thing about Arma was selecting another squad member and getting payback.

Nothing new for games coming out buggy, we're all beta testers now.

I found that from the mission "Badlands" and "Dogs of War" you cannot team switch.

Is this a bug or not? :rolleyes:

You still have some of those pills? :D

Good to know this is a known bug though, cause I was wondering if it was just me.

Team switching seems to be fine when alive, but bugged when dead (used to work in older versions). This really ruins single player large scale missions that are built around the fact that you will have combat casualties. Being forced to keep yourself alive in order for the mission to be possible to complete makes it impossible to have a realistic mission where if you die the mission continues, and you have a good chance of dying even if you play perfect simply because it's a realistically tough battle.
