Isn't it just too easy?

Hello everybody,

I remember those old OFP times when you had to hit the dirt during any hostile engagement, creep and change positions constantly in order to score kills. Taking into considerarion, I was playing at recruit settings.

I am in Manhattan Mission of ArmA 2 already and game more and more seems like an entertaining walk through enemy territory. I am encountering lone Chedaki which shoot a couple of shots and run nobody knows where (don't flank my unit but just ran), other Chedaki squads are also comprised of scattered lonely fighters. Yes, you can die suddenly if you miss a machinegunner's position on your flank, but that happens damn rare. I lack action so far.

I am using steam version of ArmA II 1.03.

Try driving along the road to the place where you have to arrest that guy on manhattan, I was ambushed by a horde of chedaki there with RPG's & all sorts! Also when you encounter the main camp theres a fair bit of resistance there!

try playing at a different difficulty setting ? :P

For me, OFP is definatly much easier on veteran, and I can kill about twice as much AI before biting the dust.

You cant really bite the dust here or sneak in prone to objective becouse you cant see anything. And I just cant play without grass.

Even with grass turned off, Arma 1 and 2 is easily harder than OFP was under standard veteran settings.

BIS tweaked the AI in different difficulty settings so that there is more difference between them. If you're playing it on recruit or something I think this may be what you are experiencing.

The low FPS in campaign, combined with how boring it is, combined with how buggy and cheesy it is, combined with how crappy the story line is, combined with the awful voice overs and acting, completely draw me away from the campaign.

I tried it about three times, i will never, ever try again.

However, the editor is the best thing in the history of ever, that instantly makes this game amazing for me. No one could ever get bored with such a fantastic editor.

Its just too bad the campaign is so crappy, makes me wonder why they even included it.

make your own missions and play MP, much better ;)

I second this statement.

[kidnapster 10]

am i the only one that actually thinks playing around in editor over MP is more fun? i tried some of the MP and its not as fun to me as making my own missions and playing around in the editor

[Guest]

Yeah, for really fun Cold War Crisis style engagements, you need to utilize the fantastic editor. Once you grasp its basic capabilities, you will be creating great missions before you know it :)

Or even better, find a bunch of people who make missions in the same style as you, make loads of missions and play them online! Then you're getting the most out of the game. I havn't played singleplayer since OFP.

...had a hard time beating Abandoned Armies anyway... :p

Yarr, I love throwing random armies together on random area's of the map. That's the great thing about FP/Arma, it's easy to throw scenarios together in moments.

I like the campaign. I thought the acting and script got better as they went along, like as the actors were settling into the roles. I liked Robos monologue about 'psycho extremists'.
