Damn this game! :)

Recommended Posts

I had a million things to do this weekend.. then Op Arrowhead arrived and I haven't done jack!

Loving the game I have to say.. It installed seamlessly with Armed Assault II to give me 'Combat Operations'..

The new content is much appreciated, and I've loved the look of Takistan and already been playing the missions that people are knocking up, and working my way through the campaign.

Most of my mods seem to work with OA, and I think the 'expansion' section was a good move as well as it is just as easy to use the game method to employ and activate mods as it is one of the many launchers out there.

Got a couple of bugs cropped up though in the 'boot camp' section..

1. Cant complete the night vision phase as I have no option to save or even use the IR strobe, so I can't move on.

2. The 'Armour' phase is quite funny as after the driving phase and moving onto the gunner bit, my first target is invulnerable to sabot rounds and just keeps jumping around everytime I hit it instead of exploding, so again, can't complete that mission.

:D

I gotta agree with you. Shame for me, my DVD ArmA2 and Steam OA did not get combined properly, going to get DVD OA later. :)

Have you installed 1.52 patch for OA? I did not encounter those weird bugs during trainings. Are you sure you are hitting the target with the Sabot rounds? :P

Also, the IR-Strobes can be used just as normal grenades. Cycle weapons with F (default key)

Yep, installed the patch early on, and I know my way around the ArmaII turret command system.. as a test, I hit the truck with every single round (sabot and HE) that the tank possessed and it still just bounced all over the screen instead of brewing up.. lol!

As to the IR strobe, I can select it at the ammo box but can only cycle through my rifle settings.. even though its showing in my gear menu it's not showing when I hit 'F'..

Unlike my other bootcamp missions where I can freely 'save' at any point, with these two missions that option is 'greyed' out in the menu and is unusable.. :(

Having said that, I absolutely love the game.. always did with ArmaII anyway, but OA has made it so much better!

Yeap, between the..hell the entire game you'll find your life alot less complicated and more revolved around BI's games, if you have a girlfriend or wife you will need to make extra effort to spend time with them, also your family, this game like a sort of military WoW as far as addiction can go.

That said enjoy :)

Because of OA there is a certain hedge in Scotland that is uncut, even with the lovely weather on Saturday, and will remain so for some time to come.

Mrs Liquidpinky now wears a permanent scowl also.

ARAMA has a lot to answer for.

You know when things are bad when you start using arma languge

"Steve mind just pushing us of the jetty?"

"Roger!"

*faceplam*

"Barry!, Unknown Sandbank 11 o'clock!"

*2xFacepalm*

"Cheers for the lift, il get out here, Cover me!, oh FFS"

LOL

Also talking about tanks and vehicals when they come on TV is a sure way to lose whatever friends you probs dont have.
