British Troops DLC released & Official 1.01 Update
sparks50 replied to Pauldarrington's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - GENERAL
I had to laugh at the low res british units posted here. A genius solution. This has turned me into wanting to buy the DLC. -
No I'm playing mafia 1 while waiting for 2 to arrive :) Mafia 2 has most of its files locked down somehow. I hope some smart souls will figure out a way to modify it.

Have to share this one: GuyHx-tfF6w offtopic: Im playing through the Mafia 1 campaign with the good old 60s mod now. Love how these mods changes the atmosphere so much yet still work mostly well in the campaign.

I would pm Placebo and ask. edit: rexe beat me to it

http://wall-graphics.com/ Have had these recommended. They are in the US.

Vilas you are obviously talking about a field that you have no experience in, about a country you consider yourself an expert in from watching Hollywood movies.

CM Operation Flashpoint 3 announced | "Oops, they're doing it again..."
sparks50 replied to Undeceived's topic in OFFTOPIC
BI will have to improve voice acting and scripts a lot before they make a CWC2. The campaigns after CWC and resistance all lacked the storytelling qualities of the former. For a tactical coop though, you'll be crazy to choose OFP over A2/OA. -

If OFP was so much better, they would still be printing it. Feel free to kill me, but I think theres a bit of nostalgia in the mix :p Anyway, about CM: -
The RO games are a good example that realistic games/movies does not necessarily have to be tedious. (how many times have you heard the joke that if COD becomes any more realistic now, you'll be digging holes and stare aimlessly into the desert for a full 365 days a year. I even think the Onion made a video sketch on this) I suspect your gonna need someone with the same mindset to play it with to get proper teamwork though. Like in Arma.

ACE 1.5 Beta (Advanced Combat Environment)
sparks50 replied to xeno's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
I wish the rate of updates would be turned down(perhaps once a month) as the changes every week doesn't seem so significant. I mean this in a good way, we're glad to get whatever we can get. -
I always wondered why they didn't make a sequel to Swat 4. The VIP escort missions were great fun in MP.

CM Operation Flashpoint 3 announced | "Oops, they're doing it again..."
sparks50 replied to Undeceived's topic in OFFTOPIC
It is a long time since CM took the name of this old game we love, and I dont think the people in this thread are doing much good if they really want to put BI in a good light. Long time rage is not very sympathetic and you can imagine what impression new people on the CM forums, will get of this community when looking at this thread. -
Is There a Way to Lock Movement Keys?
sparks50 replied to pipscouse's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - GENERAL
You can. Use the software logitech provides you with. its super easy, no scripts necessary. -
I am largely very happy with this demo. Preordered the full thing. I have 3 minor complaints: -Police wont know what to do with you if you climb up on a car -cover system with 3rd view makes indoor fighting too easy -Shoot a cop in the head without witnesses, and all cops will immediately be alerted about it.
-
Swat series.. The True Crime series.. True Crime were mainly just bad though. Criminals have more freedom than someone in the police so they generally make for more entertaining games.

ive started my own hand to hand combat style based off....
sparks50 replied to BronzeEagle's topic in OFFTOPIC
Martial arts are a waste of time and money for defence purposes. You got two legs and a mouth to get you out of dangerous situations. And if you need to stand your ground and kill the attacker, you might as well buy a gun. Much, much cheaper and your prison sentence will roughly be the same. Boosting your self confidence is not the same thing as learning how to manage dangerous situations. -
Mafia 1 had some extra hours in the crazy extreme mode though. A big contrast to the usually serious game

I am. Joined 2006 and have still not said one sensible thing :D

Use the vehicle, direct or groupchat instead. Even though the VON isnt as clear as TS3 etc, it can still be a good addition for those unexpected situations, like for the SL to talk to the driver of a transport without set coms, direct chat for talking with people next too you without clogging up the fireteam coms etc.

Combine this with the unlimited detail thingy, and you got yourself a game platform :p

When realism becomes a pain in the ass!
sparks50 replied to kyfohatl's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - GENERAL
This wont help you, I just have a comment: You cant blame it on realism (title) when its only someones take on realism, which clearly is not ideal. Mission editing: http://forums.bistudio.com/forumdisplay.php?f=93 -
I like sites that defaults the selection to old age so I can just press OK. The ones where you have to enter the entire date is slightly annoying. On a unrelated note, Maruk is posting quotes at the bottom of the post answering them. Anyone else finding this annoying? :bigsmile:

My only complaint is that the indoor shooting gets way too easy with the cover system. Shootouts in the streets are harder, because there the enemy can arrive from anywhere.
