Hi just my two cents,
Agree 100%. Â Still playing AA and BF2 from time to time and now been playing ArmA for a week or so I do se a difference in the MP world of those games/simulations.
I bought ArmA to experience the large maps witch I missed in the other games/simulations and this game really offers that (never had the chance to play Ofp) and at the same time I se a huge mode community with talent trying to make the game/simulation a joy for all of us (thx guy`s and girls).
Evolution:
As I understand it, Evo is the number one mode for MP. Â Evo is still enjoyable to play, but I do mis the small islands around it to get the full package (it`s a sea, air and land map), but never been in on any boat action/assault yet.
MP experience:
I belive that we all have experienced a MP session with really helpfull players (thx guy`s), rambo types (non teamsplayers are in all type of games), TKèrs and other typs of players we all would like to transfere to the moon .
It`s correct that it depends on our fellow players to make MP sessions enjoyable, but aslong admins dont have a tool/tools to kick out cheaters and hackers, there are a big chance that people will loose the joy of MP.
Do not know if all good teamplay servers are passworded today because it`s the only way to protection against cheaters and hacks as I se it, but I do understand if they are.
Waiting in bas for a lift is something we all have to get used to.
No what really can piss one off is when a chopper lift of only with 2-3 players or in the beginning of a game all jumps in a car or truck on their own and drives off. Â Hey this is a tactical game/simulation not a one man show going for points so you can fly a chopper get it .
The rank idea in Evo is quit good - mission first.
Do understand that once a while some would like to fly a jet or chopper in MP and dont have the time to gain rank. Â My highest rank on jolt server ever was LT, but at the sametime I dont care about my rank - for me it`s about teamplay no more, no less (a situation that easy could occure regarding piloting is all are many in the air and few on the ground:D).
A question to all in this topic. Â Why do you not use the voice over ip given to you in this game? .
One member came in on a very important problem in ArmA, PvP MP and a good one I may say.
Personal I think that if BIS added some tooles to the game to fight cheaters and hackers I think we in time will se more servers who offers PvP type games.
This is a game with a huge potential and I want to say to all you talentet people, who provide us with modes - do not stop because you have not reached your highest level in mode creation yet. Â Thx guy`s and girls.
Omg this is a interesting topic and always something to add.
Over and out.
