Making the game more realistic

[Revencher 10]

First plz excuse my spelling im very dislexic.

I am a big fan of the games u all have put out sence OF but there r some things that if changed whould real improve the game and make it a lot more like real life. such as how a real sqd. set up and is armed and how they react to things. for 1 Infasntry dont cary Stingers ADA units do and the dont tend to patrol the have set points that they r stationed.

I have 13 years in the US Army Infantry and would love to help u make the game or anything dealing with the US Army as real as can be.

So if there is anything i can do plz let me know

Bro you should work yourself into ArmAII Modding.

You can change nearly EVERYTHING in this Game to your likes.

I think the Devs have a lot of other problems to engage atm.

But if you have time and passion, go ahead and read the tons of tutorials regarding scripts, functions, modelling and so on.

Then you may be able to change certain things to be more realistic.

But keep in mind that this is afterall a Game and you want to have fun with it.

Changing too much into realism will surely degrade the funlevel, although i pledge for realism in FPS too.

There are a few things (like SMAW reload time, rocket inventory space etc.) wich are definitly not realistic, but as i said, those things can be changed and presented in a Mod/Map. If you decide to make something like that, i bet there are a lot of guys who help you Betatesting and gathering ideas :) (like me^^)

But i dont think Devs should worry about more realism.

Over and out^^

Have YOU modded the game into exactly what you want? Didn't think so. Modding is not some Holy Grail that solves everything and it's getting a bit old to tell new members how great and easy it is.

I am modding myself. And YES ... the Game is already about 90% to my likes, so theres only a few things im changing, trying to change right now.

And i did not say it was easy, but it is the Holy Grail indeed, if you can manage it!

I'm playing and modding with this Engine since OFP.

So i think i can tell new people, the cool and fantastic probabilities that will open to someone who starts Mapmaking/Modding/Missionmaking.

Im spending 2/3 of my ArmAII time in Editor or Weaponry just testing and altering.

If you have no better reply for a new guy, then you should just shut ur face :)

@Revencher: Keep it up!
