You better change your post, as quoting images is not allowed here. Just some friendly advice, I don't want to see you getting an infraction. ;)

Did you even read my post? If you want the AI to engage enemies first, put a SEEK AND DESTROY way-point THEN a move way-point. A move way-point tells it you want it to move in regardless of what's going on.

Yes, ive never noticed much difference, seek and destroy just seems to have them stay around the area searching for a while, doesn’t seem to make a difference to how they actually act in combat. Seek or destroy or move time and time again the AI rides in and gets destroyed so didnt think much of your point.

Again how am I meant to make a mission any bit dynamic if I have to use different waypoints then move just to get the AI not to ride in head first, so I must always make mission were I always know an engagement is going to happen at that exact location.

You can argue about it all day but the vehicle AI needs to learn to how to dynamically react to whats happening.

You know what, try putting a land vehicle on the game world with no waypoints whatsoever. You know what happens? It doesn't move at all. Doesn't even chase after enemies! Without waypoints the game doesn't know what to do, other than engage spotted enemies without following them.

What you're looking for is a randomized waypoint system, kind of like the UPS script, but if you think the AI is gonna act on it's own without any sort of linearity to the mission, that's pretty delusional.

Perfect song for the OA campaign while you're riding in on a Blackhawk and all the Takiban are fleeing. Yeah.

Hmmm I don't know.. 30 Euros..

After what big dissapointment ArmA 2 was for me :(

Dunno, will there be a demo?

[Laqueesha 474]

Yes, it says so right on the official website; not to mention the discussion we've all been having a few pages back regarding the release date of the aforementioned demo. :rolleyes:

If you're not going to buy it, then don't.

It's spelt "Spelt", not "Spellt". Sorry, I had to.

"Your" [sic] an idiot. :p

[Zipper5 74]

I don't know if you're making a point by spelling it wrong, Laqueesha, but it should be "you're" instead of "your" in this case. ;)

Why was Arma 2 a disappointment for you, Azamato?

I found some new pics of OA Preview, but the NV is still very bad.

Real NV:

BIS pls turn off HDR if NV is active, because NV is useless in this form.

Edit: the 1st and 2nd picture was same

Or better yet change it so that when you look into light you are blinded and remain so until you look away from it while wearing the NVG's :P

NV has always worked just fine for me, I expect it'll be about the same in OA. I definitely wouldn't base my opinions on a set of WIP screenys.

Maybe i'm in the minority as being someone who is really looking forward to the new maps, FLIR, equipment, backpacks etc etc etc
