I had no interest in VBS but I definatelly want ArmA. Just playing with all the addons in the updated engine will be great. Not to mention the new cool dynamic missions. What I mean is that I still want a game not a "training tool". I'm assuming ArmA still targets gamers first and forthmost . marcus

Why would it take so much time? All they need to do is study some of the user scripts and make them integral with the engine. OFP2 is nice but if they want to sell some ArmA to finance the development then I hope there's a reason other than some new graphics. Actually I thought that these things already were implemented in VBS, it's supposed to be more realistic after all. Now that OFP Elite is gold I gues there's more time to reveal some news about this game. Or lock this thread and announce something themselves. marcus

I agree that this would be good. Scripting is nice but it's even better if these features could be put into the core game. Maybe it wont require much work since the scripts already exists . The commmands themselves could be made quicker to access through some macro style commands. IE, that you could put out a chain of commands and use a hotkey for it. marcus

Sorry for being cryptic . I meant Addons & Mods Discussion. The Pacific War mod sounds interesting as does the modern war mod btw. marcus

I'm not comparing the games, just the hype. Actually before OFP got an publisher we were treated with lots of previews and screens too. The massive response probably helped them with the publisher thing . It was one of the hardest games to wait for in my gaming life. About the whining. I think most seem very positive about the screens. Most complaints seems to be from people with 2-3 total posts. I for one would be happy with a series of screens from one spot in 360 degree angles . marcus

Which is basically the same thing. Not to mention more chance to get lucky with the request AM&D. There's even a specific thread about this very subject there. marcus

Um, you could just have used the regular addons discussion forum. This is still OFP you know. marcus
-
Aha. Ok that sounds good. I think there's a range setting too for the sharing. And yes. The free missions became much harder with this, and much cooler too if I may so . I can't praise this effort enough it seems . marcus

My mistake. I don't follow this forum section as well as I should. There's so much going on with regular OFP . marcus

Well if it's delayed until april next year then a demo while waiting wouldn't be wrong . marcus

I wouldn't be surprised if that was possible in Game2. With the larger scale I guess they will use a more dynamic engine. marcus

IMO these are already quite "pluggable". I've already done some variations for myself like transport by land and other stuff. DMA is great and makes waiting for ArmA easier. Btw. A question to those who know both ECP and DMA. In ECP you can enable AI info sharing. Is there a "risc" that assets from the base can react to what happens in the battlefield? I mean that when I tested it I had one tank react to a battle quite far away which was cool in itself but maybe it can screw up the DMA base settings. marcus

Maybe kind of useless . I dont think the military uses those. I also dont like the idea of leaning and shooting, reminds me of AA (americas army, not arma..), its there, its unrealistic and its useless most of the time, and unlike OPF AA:SF uses alot of small urban maps and cqb, in arma it wouldnt be that usefull imo. One gameplay improvement i would like to see would be to see the player models raise their rifles to eye level when they use the sights, like the a.i. do, Suma explained once why this feature didnt make it but i would be very happy if they would consider it now . I have actually seen US soldiers use those in Iraq on TV. Maybe it was just for show . It does sound useful on paper at least. I'd rather use a mirror than lean myself. Worst case one can use a pocket mirror. marcus

Now that is quite demanding, don't you think  Compared to other AAA titles it's not. I mean BF2 had like 200 screens a week . The more hype this gets the better it will sell by pre-order. Here's an idea. They can give a beta to some dedicated fan and let him do the fanboi marketing . Btw. I missed the post which said it was postponed to april next year. Then the lack makes more sense. Wonder if this means Game2 comes even later then? marcus

However, mirrors like SWAT4 would be cool. marcus
