open conventional warfare

[THEBLITZ6794 10]

theres something about Arma 2 and OA (and to sum degree arma 1) that just doesnt feel right. like the game engine feels like its made for OFP style gamepaly. static frontline. huge battles. conventional warfare. OA did this somewhat but it still feels off...id like to see a russia vs usa deal

like the game engine feels like its made for OFP style gameplay

That's because it is the same game engine, just improved.

OFP - Real Virtuality 1

ArmA 1 - Real Virtuality 2

ArmA II - Real Virtuality 3

Operation Arrowhead - Real Virtuality 3

All that they have done is made great improvements upon the game engine.

He is saying he wants them to bring the Russians into OA, for a larger conflict. I think.

If I'm right (3AM, so i'm probably not) then all I can say is stop playing OA and go back to ArmA 2.

Editor+ARMA 2 Combined Operations+10 minutes of your time = Russia vs USA

if you mean by story wise

this type of warfare just isnt going to happen anymore in real life, and most armies are swinging the counter insurgency way

well maaaaybe it could happen over oil and such in the near future but its highly unlikely

but fi you want it..like cossack said, place and couple of groups with waypoints wand viola..russia V usa

and WW1 was supposed to end large scale warfare.

[THEBLITZ6794 10]

yeah i kno but i mean for a good, long campaign.

OA is way more convential than Arma 2

proxy wars however can go convential

say in sum other green sea country the russians back the local badguys and the americans back the local goodguys but the russians and americans themselves never fight but 2 nations do fight

and WW1 was supposed to end large scale warfare.

korea and desert storm disagree (even if the latter was a pushover)

Russians? In arma 2?! no wai!

Just place groups in the editor+Move waypoints. If you aren't happy with the map then download a new one.

Just use a replacement config, you can make the game look like you want.

[THEBLITZ6794 10]

i mean for the campaign

I UNDERSTAND THAT WITH THE EDITOR YOU CAN MAKE RUSSIA VS USA

I WOULD LIKE A GAME THAT IS BUILT AROUND THAT IDEA, NOT WITH THE IDEA JUST BEING POSSIBLE IN IT

ArmA 2 had the "proxy war" you want, between the CDF and the Guerrilla guys that i forget the name of.

Armed Assault had the proxy war, between the RACS and the SLA. If you want another one, go play something else.
