    ArmA2 - The Xbox 360 thread

    It's time to strike BIS. Although i play and enjoy OFPDR it is a failure, the servers on the 360 are pretty much a ghost town, there's lucky to be more then 3 games on offer at any given time there forum is a shambles with no input from Codies what soever plus there net code, patch and DLC are a joke. If you release ArmA 2 as bug free as possible on the 360 and back it up with good advertising, patches that actually fix any bugs that crop up, and release good DLC, with the way OFPDR has turned out for Codies you would corner the Milsim market on consoles.

    Good bye to the consoles! WOW

    They didnt say there not going to release on Consoles just that they have no info about a release on consoles at this time. AVIBIRD 1 please dont give up on Arma2 on consoles over 1 interview, have faith in BIS, Even if we have to wait for a Console release it will be worth it. I dont trust Codemasters as far as i could throw them. @binkster Theres features in OFPE that were not in the Vanilla OFP release, Depth of field, Streaming Terrain, Ricochets, Lightning in Stormy weather, Grass, Rainbows, plus other improvements, Yeah it has its down sides, No mod support, No scripting, Limited Editor, among others, but it was defernetly not dumbed down just optamised for the console. So theres no reason that Arma2 couldnt be realsed on a Console in a Optimised version, I hope that BIS do release a Console vesion of Arma 2, anyway for BIS to increase there profits and fanbase is a good thing right? Â And for the record ive played OFP and Arma on PC since there release and still do, and OFPE on the Xbox, and enjoy both versions for different reasons.

    ArmA2 - The Xbox 360 thread

    If Arma2 is going to be released on the 360 i think the Faction Videos should be released on the Xbox Live Marketplace ASAP.
  5. Like many i enjoy using the 360 controller for flying and driving in Armed Assault, but find the drivers that Microsoft released rather limited. The Microsoft drivers map the triggers to the same axis (Z+,Z-) which pretty much makes them useless, also you can't adjust the dead zone of the sticks or button, trigger, and axis thresholds. XBCD is a free open source driver which allows you to load different profiles for your 360 controller. You can have separate axis for each trigger, have the triggers as digital buttons or customize the buttons and sticks to your liking. Installation is quick and easy, updating over the Microsoft drivers then selecting a profile in the XBCD setup . XBCD can be downloaded here XBCD Download Controller profiles can be downloaded here (located underneath the Choose One From Below heading) Controller profiles and a handy install guide can be found here.

    Realist, Maybe, Balanced? You Decide.

    After a non useful first post on my behalf (sorry about that ) Then watching the videos on HavocDemon's first post again, In particular the sections of the First Video where it took 13 .50cal rounds to disable the UH - 60, And 32 .50cal rounds to disable the MI - 17. It didn't seem right that it took that many rounds to do the job especially on the MI - 17. So i thought I'd do some experiments of my own record the results and share them with the community. After a few tests i hit the jackpot and found the Sweet Spot on both choppers. Like a lot of things its all about Location,Location Location.

    Realist, Maybe, Balanced? You Decide.

    O no not the dreaded B word again. Ask WW2 Poland about balance . Theres no such thing as "balance" in war (shit the hole idea is to get an OVERMATCH on the enemy). IMHO there shouldn't be any "Balance" in a Military Sim either. Theres only pros and cons, as in real life. You have to use your advantages to offset your weaknesses.

    Operation Flashpoint 2

    Yeah it's real OFP2 . But i guess the reason not many are talking about it here is because BIS have nothing to do with it. I think theres some posts in the Offtopic forum .

    Amphibious Landing

    OK.... put the Transport Unload as close to the waterline as you can get it (don't trust the map.... your going to have to place the Transport Unload by trial and error), the Get Out is ok were it is. This works every time for me

    The laser designator works just fine. Place a AI with a designator(SF RECON) in line of sight of a OPFOR target Make sure that the AI's waypiont is set to (OPEN FIRE ENGAGE AT WILL, COMBAT) and he'll target them for you. The crucial factor is makeing sure that the designator has a clear line of sight to the target. Works every time for me.

    Incredible aircraft armor.

    Indeed ive unloaded all the HEAT rounds from a M1A1 into a house and it was still standing. I then fired two SABOT rounds into the house next to it and it came crashing down. Went a talked to my Dad about it (He was a Tank Gunner & Commander in the The Royal Australian Armoured Corps for 26 years) and he agreed with me that a SABOT round would punch a hole from one side of a house to the other and thats about it. The HEAT round on the other hand would do critical damage to a house especially if it detonated inside but it would still take a couple of rounds to demolish it.
