I have never been disappointed with any of the BI releases. No game that comes out is ever perfect, there is always a glitch or a bug or what ever, but flashpoint and Armed Assault offer something that no other game even comes close to. No, they aren’t as fast paced as the Unreal, Medal of Honour or Call of duty. No, they aren’t as graphically jaw dropping as Half Life2, FarCry or Crysis. But they are far more fun to play. Much more emersive and generally better games. What’s more, you guys obviously think so too. Or you'd be chatting on another forum about another game. I will be buying the expansion. Not out of loyalty to BIS, but to further my experience of ArmA. When’s it out? September still?

Thanks Binkster

I agree. I played OFPs missions for a while, finished the campaigns etc, but it's the Editor that kept me hooked. If the new expansion adds more stuff to the editor (granted most of it is included in 1.08) then i'll be buying it. Still on for september?

I was playing on the Jolt server and we had a Kamov attacking our Base! Also I was playing this morning (Only me ant this 'Tim' chap on Jolt) and we had a Kamov crash into our HumVee. Looks like the AI can't fly them very well in combat...? Again,shame there was no Hind.

Quite right, sir. With out them I would have no forum to chat on and risk my job over ^^accessing from work Also OFP kept me going for years. I tried other games, even though the graphics and engine were better, the actul game as a whole didn't even come close. (EG, Doom3, FarCry, Call of Duty 2 are technologicaly better games, but the replayability of OFP was far superior). Now Armed Assault is here i should be safe through Crysis' and CoD3 and even Flashpoint 2 untill Game 2 is ready. All Hail BiS!

if me buying this will make Game2 even better, then I'm in. Whens it hit the shelfs? Q3 2000-&-what-ever? But seriously, i'll be buying it.

Same here, the instructor fails to get in. He just twitched around a bit.

Yea I turned it off in the init.sqs you can turn the grass off? <---D'uh Whats the command?

So, it could be done in SP? If I place the rifleman, squad leader and officer and setidentity all the same, remove the players weapon before promotion, the player will notice nothing exept the model/character change?

Hi lads, I have a few questions about 'playable' units. Lets say that I have three 'playable' units; Rifleman Squad leader Officer The player will start as a rifleman and when his points reach a certain level he will be promoted to 'Squad Leader' and then to 'Officer'. How do I prevent the player from using the other units, and then force the player to be one of those units when the time is right? Also can this new playable unit retain the ammo, name and score of the last?

i like it. except for the front of the uh60s. i personally dont think that head should be present on the racs version. That asside, its a relly pro looking job! well done.

Nice idea. But i never heard of any one getting demoted for requesting support. How about as well as racking up your promotion points, you also get support points. More features; 4. Spec ops insertion (a team of 4 invincible troops are inserted at specified coordinates, they do there bit and are then extracted after 5 mins or so 5. Airborne squad (Not invincible, but more of them. A squad of Airborne troops is parachuted in at the specified coordinates. After 5 mins they are extracted.) 6. RACS Squad (Not as good as the Airborne units, but cheaper. They insert by land via M113. Drive to the specified location, dismount and engage the enemy (I doubt they'll last 5 mins, but will leave the area after 5 mins).) What about that?

probally can be towed threw scripts but we need somone who know how to script PS: nice avtar i had to swipe it  i know im a thief  LOL. I nicked it myself!

So, hows it done?

Try putting an engineer and only allowing him to place the deffences...? (Engineer addaction "put thing here") Hows that sound?

a bit off topic but, the howitzer is a towable cannon in real life, can it be towed in ArmA?

any ideas on doing this guys?

I don't know for sure, what’s the range on the howitzer? Couldn't we create a simple “onmapclick†command where an invisible target is placed. Then type “howitzer knowsabout target†Then it's ordered to target and fire on it? I know a similar script existed in OFP to increase the snipers range Sounds simple, I’ll give it a go.

but its not normal that u crash a whole server, just when  u XAM got XAM active LOL! What it actually crashes the wole server, not just your pc? oh dear oh dear.

EDIT: Damn double posts!!

So could it be the server not saving my score? I did a fresh install of arma and patch up to 1.08. I then gave myself another name. I still have the problem... This is weird and doens't make any sense? Could my cd key be the problem a bad one? Again this is a legit game I bought off the shelf in best buy... Unless the server has something wrong?... I don't get it?.. Very, Very Frustrated here. I have stopped playing arma online. no use for it. Won't save my score and rank... try reinstalling (again), but dont patch up. see if 1.08 is at fault. I only play on certain servers that are patched up to 1.08. So what the use of playing? If I can't join them... I can't make all the squad members downgrade there's to 1.05 and the servers. Just so I can play... Not really an option there... Maybe I will just have to wait for the next patch?.. 'The point' is to see if the problem is with patch 1.08, the game or the server your running on. If you don't want to put your virtual friends out, launch your own dedicatedserver, host the game, Alt + Tab out, launch ArmA, connect to it, quit, rejoin and see if your scores are saved. Is that an option?

Whats the implications of porting this to ArmA? WIll it work (excluding al the addons etc)

Great! Thanks for that. What about the gear. Any ideas on that?
