meade95 0 Posted May 31, 2010 Is there any way in the "preview" mode to set the difficulity level setting? When previewing I would like to have as much information as possible (thus, having the difficulity level setting to low would be great)..... Though it seems the setting is automatically set to one of the higher levels (where not all info, is provided, via the map, HUD, etc). Side question - Situational Awareness seems difficult somewhat in ARMA-2 so far (from my experience). Especially, in terms of small squad contact with the enemy. Are there any tips for increasing SA during small squad actions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy Bandit 10 Posted May 31, 2010 Well, when I make any missions I create them in the Multiplayer Editor (even Single-Player missions). The multiplayer editor can be accessed by going to Multiplayer New Create Server (Ok)* New - Editor *I just create a LAN server with all the default settings. You can also create an internet server is you would like to test with friends. Then, when I want to preview, instead of just clicking 'Preview', save it as a User Mission, then (using the Save dialogue again) Export to Multiplayer Missions. I then proceed to exit out the editor, select my Mission from the list and click OK to start playing it. From there you can set difficulty and anything else you would want. As a quick note, the 'Editor' version of your mission appears in BLUE, and the Exported version of your mission appears in the normal text colour (beigey...). In terms of Situational Awareness - to improve it, move slow and constantly check all around you. Because ARMA's a game, it's very easy to want to run everywhere and get to your next objective as quickly as possible. If you watch the AI move from point A to B in 'Stealth' mode, you'll see that the Fire-Team moves one at a time whilst the rest of the team covers. They stay mostly prone or crouched the whole time, and spend 90% of their time simply looking for enemies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
