ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead discussion thread

For the Germans:

the rumors of MM and Saturn already selling OA is true ._.

Too bad today is such a good weather...but cant enjoy it :D

I was just at my local MM but they didn't have it yet. Guess I'll have to wait 'til tuesday. :(

I'm also hoping that there will be a release day patch for OA containing the improved rifle kickback. It's the one thing I've been really hoping for. :)

I got mine already on Thursday evening at one of our big electronic discounter :rolleyes:

OA has great content so far....and god thx no brits but germans:p

Neverthelss i am still struggling with some of the features to use, like the deployable weapon pokets.Is there already a howto for some of the new features?Or am i just missing a key?

the campaign seems to go into the direction of good old OFP style, although i just played a few missions.The patch 1.07 fixed also the micro stutters introduced with OA for my system again.Something also seemd to change in the grafix, as it looks a bit sharper as in ArmA2 vanilla.

So i am not disappointed in my buy.

I like the sounds and the flir/thermo visor is also better than expected.

Love the working backpacks, and am curious to see how ACE will deal with the new features.

The village module is just awesome, as the maps are not the biggest ones what made me a bit wondering (or disappointed a bit), u are able to extend the map by the module.

Wasnt able to test much though.

Damm germans and their blitzkriegs..... :p

[That guy 10]

man, all i can say is: awesome

with screen shake and the soon to be re-introduced rearward recoil, shooting in OA will be magical! maybe better than ACE 1!

i loved the way weapons fired in ACE1. some times id just put an ammo box in the middle of somewhere and fire randomly away to my hearts content :p .i know vanilla wont have the same sway and stuff, but at least the possibility is there.

that screen shake is probably one of the best cosmetic enhancements added to the game. it makes stuff come more alive, and feel less distant or sterile. that combined with a nice amount of head bob wile running, very nice :D

I actually think the radio sounds have been improved A-L-O-T O___o

am iRite?

[gossamersolid 155]

I was wondering if some of the nice germans could help update the BIS Wiki to include the new classnames for weapons/vehicles/etc?

I will help when I get my copy in 2 days, but it'd be nice if somebody could get a head start on it :)

It'd help the whole community out quite a bit I think.

[Tonci87 163]

Watch this

Notice the Machinegunner climbing up on the roof ;)

On a sadder note some a-hole seems to be already spreading the game via torrents.. :(

Like with every other game ever released.

Yes, but this one I actually care about enough to get annoyed :p
