BIS should probably have done some homeworks since 2001

What was idiotic about the medical system?

What was ridiculous about 80kg preventing an infinite sprint?

ACE didn't fix everything or add everything, never claimed to.

Sound good to me, but why 80 kg? it should be dynamic.

Giving morphium to someone who's heart is stopping after giving him Epi so he wakes up is a bit... WEIRD.

Also I get hit by a a blast and are lightly damaged. I bandage myself (which is ok) and then give me morphium. Are soldiers some kind of morphium junkies?

You broke your leg. MORPHIUM or you will drop!. You did cut your finger, MORPHIUM or you will drop!

You shoot an enemy. He drops. You have no means of checking whether he is dead or just wounded except by placing you directly above him. Which is ok. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT. 2 minutes later he zombificates (wakes up) after getting shot in the head by a 5.56mm rifle or 3 times in the body. The first thing he does is taking a sprint and then shooting you. Wow. Great.

The exhaustion system was ridiculous because of 2 points:

1. a soldier with 20kg of weapons/ammo/medicsupplies and stuff is FAST WALKING a distance of 500 and almost dies by infraction. WTF?

Better take 50kg with you than 20. Why? You cant even FAST WALK to the next town after being dropped by your truck anyway. So why bother?

2. You are exhausted. Now your breathing heavily. Which is nearly unhearable in ACE. You lay down. Wait 1 minute and then aim at the enemy. Your aim is perfectly stable. You shoot. The bullet lands at the right edge of your optics. WTF!? Oh well... you are still exhausted. The enemy now shoots you.

ACE didn't fix everything or add everything, never claimed to.

People do.

The best things ACE had were available a long time before it as single mods which you had to collect.

It's a bit provocative but everything is true. If the old engine can't handle the stuff it should accomplish, it's time to make a new and better one.

It's true. Couldn't agree more.

please, dont ruin this thread. Hopefully BIS reads it, and see all our comments about aliens post. Not about ace, or if this is the right forum so on.

I personally couldn't agree more on the first post, infact it could been me posting it, I been very fed up with that. Buying, playing making addons to the "best military simulator"... only to fire the javelin like if it was another weapon in Quake and then load up Americas Army and use the javelin there, its amazing. (Infantry style)...

some years ago when "game2" and codemaster was still one, a bad photo leaked and people thought arma2 would be about vietnam. While I love the era and think the gameengine would work great I was sorta happy when I then read it would be modern "because then they are FORCED to do flir, good target systems and NVG"... oh i was so wrong.

please BIS.. just please do something here.

I'm voicing my opinion about these matters for years now. They've polished the AI and Graphics right, now please take a look at these issues.

A little love for these points would bring BIS much much more people and money.

I know these are moddable, but mods do die by time and get incompatible or too complicated to maintain(too much ambition, like NWD's mods); but official features always carry on and are an integral part of the game. They also impress and bring fun to people who don't even know what a mod is.

The problem about keeping ACE out of this thread is that the players have to make BIS's games playable. Has been like that since OFP :)

And ACE is one of the most popular conversion packs for their last game :D

Completely agree, A2 needs more technology, it's always frustrated me how little of modern warfare is actually present in a modern warfare simulator [game].
