Yeah, they make the AI a whole lot smarter. Instead of not hitting the player in 4 min, they can't hit you for 30 seconds. More than enough time to wipe out all the squads. People are proving that no matter what, the AI suck in all regards, but still DR fanboyz cling to the belief that the game doesn't suck and the AI are deadly. Even in your own video's you show how sucky the AI are. You're answer? Turn off comments Ok, next excuse? templargfx (1 hour ago) Show Hide 0 Marked as spam Reply | Spam @Squigibo I turned off comments cos you fuckwit ARMA fanboys could do nothing but post crap about arma in the comments of a video only about DR Squigibo (3 minutes ago) Show Hide 0 Marked as spam Reply | Remove truth hurts.

Zipper5 74 Posted January 8, 2010 Well, I thought I'd just say that I've finished editing together the video I've made to give an example of how to command AI squad mates in ArmA II and added a commentary to it as well, for those of you who asked for it. I'll probably upload it to YouTube in 3 parts tomorrow (it's a 30 minute long recording of a dynamic mission I had quickly made to give you an on-the-fly example) and I'll post them up here when they're ready. I hope you guys will find them helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiggum2 31 Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Making youtube videos that show how "stupid" a AI is easy. I can make a video showing a dumb ArmA2 AI in a few minutes and someone else can make one that shows a dumb DR AI in the same time. And i think Templar can turn off the comments if they are full of ArmA2 vs. DR stuff...his videos are about his missions and not to prove something about the AI.

templargfx 10 Posted January 8, 2010 Singleplayer plain old sucks.Singplayer sucks because the AI is terrible. they get stuck, they ignore people being shot right next to them, even when they should have full morale, they often dont do what you tell em, or they decide they should do something else first. death animations look like something out of a cartoon did I mention singleplayer sucks? thats the main reason I dont like, I dont give a flying shit about multiplayer, I dont wanna play multiplayer thats what I got a warning for. cited as a troll post. Apparently because I dont like ARMA, my thoughts on it are just trolling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldogs 10 Posted January 8, 2010 I don't see the problem here. People don't like DR, good for them, people don't like ArmA 2, also good for them. Point out the flaws in a game and get called a fanboy, well here's a flaw in both games... Nerd's play computer games. Bigger nerds play simulators. I may be a big nerd, but you're all nerds with me!

andersson 285 Posted January 8, 2010 ok, boy I cant wait for the smart ass comments your all going to throw at this one!Your list to offend arma fanboys(?) smartass comment #1... Smartass comment #2... smartass comment #3 and Janxy wasnt trolling?you mean kind of like me being given an infraction for listing what I dont like about the game, yeah, this forum is "so much better" than that "other" forum This could be seen as trolling from you. It looks like you made the list just to get reactions (OT list btw). I'm not sure what defines a "troll" (not many of them on BIS forum luckilly) but for me it seems that you were trolling, which means Janxy was "feeding a troll"(?).

Like i sayed above, such videos dont prove anything. You say ArmA2 and DR cant be compared because ArmA is a simulation and DR is a arcade shooter but want to prove that the AI of the "simulation" is better as the AI in the arcade shooter ? dude, those aren't my comments you're replying to.

templargfx 10 Posted January 9, 2010 This could be seen as trolling from you.It looks like you made the list just to get reactions (OT list btw). actually a pro-arma member asked me what I didnt like about the game, I wasnt going to reply (and said as much) until he he started trolling because I didnt reply. So I replied, and got an infraction. and that infraction was given before I posted the smartass numbering comments go figure. looks like this forum is not better than your hated CM forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aeneas2020 10 Posted January 9, 2010 Templar i think what people object to is that you obviously have no love for arma2 and so really you are only of this forum to cause arguements on this thread. I understand you feel the need to defend you actions for DR and i applaud you for that but really you are just fanning the flames of the fire that has been lit directly underneath you.

instagoat 133 Posted January 9, 2010 One problem here is how people are either taking things way to personal, or are out to flamebait. well no, it isnt if youre here.go away. ^- case in point.It´s right, it´s only about games, and everybody is entitled to their opinion and their way of presenting it. However, partially, this thread has begun to skitter in the directions of childish trolling, and it´s painful to watch. Then I remember that after all, this is still the internet, and some people know no restraints, and everything is more or less okay again. Still, it leaves a bitter aftertaste to see how people go about treating each other in here, especially because I have been and am OFP fan from day one, and I like this community and all that stands behind it a lot.

Aeneas2020 10 Posted January 9, 2010 Well said, slightly off topic but i while i love the internet for it's total freedom of speech and freedom of expression i find it ironic how peoples balls suddenly grow into the size of small planets when they get onto forums and start spouting off. Even the meekest person in real life shows that they aren't afraid to get stuck in when all they are risking is, at most, banishment from a community that exists only in digital format.

Aeneas2020 10 Posted January 9, 2010 sorry cebo...serious question then. I have tried setting my view distance to max on DR but for some reason it always seems to still be a very short distance away. I'll try and post some screenies but other than the advanced options is there a way I can get DR to look better? I keep seeing all these beautiful screenies of DR and mine look nothing like that, I can run arma2 with everything on max, same with dirt2 which uses the same engine as DR so why can't I seem to find the settings that make DR look halfway decent. Also why do all the us soldiers faces look screwed up like they just got given a hard maths problem and they have the intelegence of a dead rat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Janxy 10 Posted January 9, 2010 Something I find rather annoying about DR is that I seem to "mince" around. The whole first person view just seems to "mince". And the scaling ( first person ( or camera ) object to world size ) seems weird. It's like the island is a certain size but I feel overly small in comparison. Is that an FOV issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldogs 10 Posted January 9, 2010 Baically.... the FOV is too small (can't remember exact size, I think it was set to 65, should be 90), and the view height of the character is also too low, which I think was put in to make the grass more effective, could be wrong though.

You'll be looking for the "Full Photoshop Effect" mod that's still in BETA. Codemasters are keeping it close to their chest until they can perfect it for real time use! In all seriousness, as hinted at above those screenshots CM posted are all doctored. They're manipulated to look better than the game really is. Lots of publishers insist on this, they did the same with OFP and Resistance back in the day. I never saw the game look as good as the back of the Resistance box until a good year or so later with a bunch of mods. BIS keep it pure, they show us shots from actual gameplay sessions and only open it in Photoshop to stick the branding on and maybe change the dimentions for their various uses.

Bulldogs 10 Posted January 9, 2010 The view distance has been done in the past, it just doesn't draw much past a certain point other than hills and a few painted on trees. Fortunately in CQBs you get too distacted to notice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
