  1. The forum is great, our many years of whining was not wasted :) Can the smiley tags be altered so OFP:DR does not turn into a big dollar grin?

    FP : DR - News & Discussion

    Im hoping for a versatile modding environment, as little "hard coded" as possible.
  3. Be aware that the animation speeds(speed of walking/jogging/sprinting) is higher than in real life. Roughly, a BI walk is a RL speed of a light jog, a BI jog is RL speed of sprint etc.

    Isn't it just too easy?

    Even with grass turned off, Arma 1 and 2 is easily harder than OFP was under standard veteran settings.

    Chernarus Life (RPG)

    OFP Crime City, Cops and robbers etc. Sahrani life are heavily inspired by them, so its not correct that the game play mode was invented by it. Nonetheless, congrats with the coverage.

    Again, there IS trackIR for helicopters, cars etc, just not for the infantry part. Personally I couldnt care less as I find TrackIR usage in infantry confusing and making me a less effective soldier. In vehicles however, it is invaluable. 32 players in MP, not 12. repeating something wont make it any more valid. The usage of civilians in MP missions were pretty rare in OFP, and lean as we all know didn't even exist(until OFP elite that came many years later)

    For me, OFP is definatly much easier on veteran, and I can kill about twice as much AI before biting the dust.

    Ofp in notebook

    I cant see how its supposed to be different from playing on a desktop. I used to play OFP on a notebook often.

    Wasn't in OFP pc version either. Didnt seem like a big deal back then. There will be TrackIR, but only in vehicles. How? The map is about the same size as Chernarus and has an editor? I would argue that the scale of the islands are too small to even remotely do modern air combat justice. For them to set some limits and rather try to the remaining things better, may not be a bad idea.
  10. Just dont buy the games then, it is that simple.

    Arma 2 Music

  12. Corrected, and +1 Tactical Gamer was a place where cooperation were required in public games in Arma 1. I haven't been to their Arma 2 server(if there is one) but I doubt they lost their playing style in the transition. Its magnificent and unique.
  13. Any war, in any period, done right, in the Arma engine, is interesting for me. There has been many WW2 games over the years, but none with the freedom of BIs engine.(god I sound like a fanboy now). And yes, I have played WW2 online and Red Orchestra. Great games both of them.

    How old are Arma2 Players?

    On the topic of age: I cant access the Arma 2 site now. I encountered the age-check when entering it yesterday, and as with all age-checks, I quickly selected some numbers with the mouse(who bothers getting their birth right on these checks anyway). But somehow in the rush, the birth date I selected was too recent. Now I am auto-redirected to bistudio.com when I try to enter :D Nothing that some deleted cookies cant fix, but funny nonetheless :)
  15. They would probably downsize the towns VS reality, like they did with Chernarus.

    Default FOV too zoomed in?

    It would have been nice to be able to configure FOV in options, along with headshake/floatzone etc. That would ease the process
  17. So the map will be based upon images of an area in Iran? It would be interesting to see some real life images from that area.

    [Vidéo] Arma2 Story

    Real professionals use the macro keys for long distance running :) Great film, very well directed and funny

    Tools Released

    Looking forward to future addons :D
  20. Hopefully it will include some actual content making it worth buying, so it wont be a community divider like QG was.

    Campaign needs to be addressed

    pilfius is another excellent voice recognition program. There are already threads on it.

    Changing environment due to pollution

    I dont know if it is related to pollution or not, but winters here in Norway are clearly a lot shorter than they were forty years ago.
  23. It is somehow strange to see the interest in this, considering all the bad things that has been thrown around about Sahrani island on these forums. Thanks for the addon sync Yoma, this thing practically has the opportunity to install mods itself dependent on the server. Im halfway into getting the 2 gig Caa1 addons now :)
  24. I don't think the problem is in the media, the problem is in the game. Actually completing the games before shipping them would be a good first step. Just my five cents.
