    CO16 Insurgency

    Theres nothing wrong with having some opfor slots. pvp and coop is not that different. They just need to restrict opfor from taking bluefor guns and vehicles, and tweak it. Maybe add some spawntime. Insurgency from PR is pvp, but yet still fully playable.

    Colour Blindness a Handicap?

    The top-down radar shows hostiles/friendlies as red/green, but I guess you could learn the different brightnesses. The Norwegian defense does not care about colorblindness except for certain tasks where color coding is important, such as ship navigation and piloting.

    [PvP] GunGame --- Fast Paced TDM!

    Not much of a pvp guy, but I had a lot of fun on the server with this mission. I love how fast paced and varied the shooting is.

    These guys are always entertaining...

    They are mostly funny and well edited, but the latest Arma 2 videos are more like regular gameplay and not made to be funny.

    Move Hand Grenades to action menu

    While I agree that having grenades in the F-firemode is not ideal, to have it in the action menu would be a nightmare. Theres already too much crap in the action menu. Imagine walking up to a Humvee and instead of getting in as a passenger, you throw a grenade on it and blow up your fireteam.

    From the creators of Birds of Prey: Apache Air Assault.

    But does it have Combat Helos Rotor cam? :) eCkT1q55YQg Combat Helo looks a lot more simmish I think.

    First Downloadable Game But Not Impressed

    Fully agreed, Im not defending the threadstarter, just saying that the installation is needlessly complex.

    First Downloadable Game But Not Impressed

    You have to say to say though, its not a very intuitive process for most gamers. You shouldn't have to look up instructions in how to install something. Either way, I'm very happy with Sprocket.

    First Downloadable Game But Not Impressed

    You have to find out where the exe placed some file and click it to activate the mod.(I cant remember where it was)
  11. You know what they say, if its on the line, its in :p
  12. Working really well! While I do like how manual it is, are there any plans for an electronic range with hit indicator and timer?
  13. What a shame. Now that the cat is out the bag though, the video was already stunning!

    Arma2 OA vs. ACE MOD (multiplay)

    Largely you'll be fine in vanilla depending on what aspirations in realism you have. The thing I missed the most in vanilla OA was accurate rocket ballistics. The current ones seem alien and it makes shots with the AT4 at 200m+ into a guessing game (where loss is very expensive) unless you have these strange values in by heart. Also I tend to feel like a half man/half vehicle without the stamina system.
  15. Smart move to attract attention to the series, it should have been global. Ostfront is worth the £10 purchase either way though.

    USA Politics Thread - *No gun debate*

    Baff: I have no idea what motivates wife beaters, but surely there must be some sort of middle ground between domestic violence and murder. What about kitchen knives? Why is kitchen knives not common in domestic when it clearly is a very effective tool to quickly kill someone(at least more effective than strangling) It doesn't make any sense. Some of the most armed countries in the world(Like Norway) are also the safest.
  17. Its open in roughly the same way battlefield 2 is. Has there been any word on moddability? It also has a German singleplayer campaign, which is very brave for a game. Hope to hear more about that soon.

    U.S. States and countries with similar GDPs

    No, Greece has over 3x population of Connecticut. Meaning that 1 man from Connecticut is worth roughly the same as 3 people from Greece. This is because the map uses GDP instead of the more relevant GDP per capita. GDP alone(as shown on this map) is largely irrelevant. People in really big countries like to count stuff(sports medals, olympic, private economy etc) by GDP rather than per capita, because their higher population puts them at the top of GDP lists automatically. For instance, according to these numbers, the US is the most successful summer olympics country in the world. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/spo_sum_oly_med_all_tim-summer-olympic-medals-all-time Click on per capita, and it falls down to number 28, below Jamaica, Virgin Islands, Romania, Cuba, and Tonga, which is a country ive never even heard about. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/spo_sum_oly_med_all_tim_percap-medals-all-time-per-capita

    U.S. States and countries with similar GDPs

    Were you seriously expecting these countries to have a similar GDP to the entire US? Its a superpower. You may almost as well call the European union a country. Its nice how all the US states have stuck together. Its a bit like China in that sense. A country of very divided people.

    ArmA 2: OA Beta Build 72967

    Run it without mods, if that solves it, alert the addonmaker.
  21. In the game its hard to get a sense where the rifle muzzle is compared to real life. In addition to this, there is bad geometry. So this really needs to be solved.
  22. I hope it can be fixed without loosing the suppression effect.
  23. This often happens when trying to shoot through the glass windows in Takistan. Very annoying as the glass does not seems to really break.
  24. You could also balance this with prices.
