Ya, I agree, these things are next to useless due to that little fact, and if you dont hit the plane the right way you dont recover, and you simply, slowly crash into the ground while yanking the stick up yelling, "PULL UP YOU PIECE OF CRAP!" >_<

No, but for a military simulation is isnt too high on the simulation part is it? Heck about the only realistic thing about the game is it takes about 30 minutes to travel from island to island via truck.

No idea mate, but mine wont even install now, it says i already have it installed when i uninstalled it and removed all program files of ArmA... This game is bugged worse then ET for the 2600.

Money. Why release a combat sim thats about as real as paintball?

Show me a game where that's actually a feature. *Points to every soldier in the world* Seriously. You try pulling it out of whatever pocket it's in, pulling it's pin, throwing your arm all the way back and hurling it across a field in under four seconds. JOTR, and ALL NOVALOGIC GAMES feature realistic bullet drop, WINDAGE, and ELEVATION FOR ALL WEAPONS, sniper rifle, M4, MP5, M203, everything. As for grenades, its not in your pocket, or at least i hope it isnt, they should be located on your belt, and if i had 2 brain cells, id look down, grab the thing, and throw it. Even then, put a base ball in your pants cargo pocket, it sure as h@#% doesnt take me 4 seconds to pull it out and throw, and im not trained solider. Also, i dont think you need 4 arms to carry a freakin MP5, and an M4, if you would need 4 arms to carry those, youd need more to carry a M24, and an AT-4, since they weigh a crap lot more. Also, i dont think ArmA soliders carry 80 pounds of equipment, heck unless there carring the M107 or Jav, they probly arnt carring more then 50 pounds. My dad was 82nd AirBorn, he carried an M60 machine gun, with 1,000 rounds, and the base plate of a Mortar, and he could run 400m, drop to the ground, set up with M60 in about a second, and give ACCURITE BASE OF FIRE OUT TO ABOUT 500 meters! More so if need be.

I would enjoy a more realistic solider combat. Please point to a solider that cant run and reload. Please point to a solider that moves slow as f@%, and in a jerkish motion. Please show me a solider that cant jog/run with his weapon and still be reasonably accurite at ranges between 80m-10m. Please show me a solider that cantt o adjust his sights on his weapon. Please show me a solider that can carry a M24 sniper rifle and a AT-4, but cant carry an M4A1 and an MP5. Please show me a solider that takes 4 seconds to throw a freaking grenade. Games like COD may not be "simulators" if you even care to call ArmA a sim, but they got a heck of a lot better controls, that respond quicker, and more realisticly then ArmAs. Heck, you want a simulation? Look at freakin Americas Army! It was MADE to do NOTHING but simulate WAR. For gods sakes it was MADE BY THE US MILITARY, not some random company.

What about Evolution? Where the AI dont come at you, you come at them....

Wow, just wow. I didnt think anyone here said they wanted a f@#%ing perfect simulation of a helo or plane. Â Where you got such an idea makes me wounder about your thinking abilities.... We want the ability to do something we know we can do, its not the freaking difficult. Â Like an earlier poster said, youd be pissed too if you could do everything we can now do with rifles, sept look down the sights. Or how about the ability to shoot the M24, but not the ability to pull the bolt back. Â How about the ability to pull the pin on the grenade before throwing it? Yes, i understand people can learn to fly like this, yes i understand i could simply not fly, but that isnt the point. Â There are those that have learned to play games that lag 100% of the time, are full of hacks, cheats, and glitches, and are no where near as fun as rolling a ball up a hill. Â So I guess we should just shut up and play no matter what problems exsist right? Its a very simple, we dont want the ability to track 15 targets all at onces and fire heat seaking tactical nuclear warheads at them all while doing trig and making a steak in our rooms. Â We want the ability to TURN LEFT OR RIGHT with the rudders. Â Its not that hard, the fact that it isnt already in the game makes me wounder about BIS and their ability to think clearly. I mean BF2 even has rudder control, and its up their with Doom now in therms of game play.

Insdie Paraiso down the main street leading to the open field next to church there is a AK-74 with a PSO-1 scope. Dont know if other citys have similar "hidden" weapons or not but would be cool.

Ok, at first it thought ArmA wouldnt need Anti Cheat/hack software, but now i see it does. I truly do not care what anyone else thinks on this matter. When 6 servers i joined in the last 20 minutes all have hackers and cheaters nuking the base, having full auto Javalins, and flying hummvs im done "thinking" about having it in the game. When 3 servers today that i have joined were shut down and taken over by hackers i am done "thinking" about if they should add it or not. Get over it the game is laggy and buggy, thats how it is, adding anti cheat software may make it more laggy, i dont care. As long as servers arnt taken over by these little a holes, and their bloody flying hmmvs of death I dont really care.

He has a point, i can modifie my zoom in ability to be even better then that of the M24/XM107. Think of having the ability to snipe targets at 1000m with an M4? Or M16 ACOG. So while he has a point, other mods also create disadvantages. But then again, those are a personal choice.

Ok, ive gotten this 4 times in the last 30 minutes and its pissing me off. What does it mean and how do i fix it please.

Aye, also the [uSA] IMO server almost always has 15+ ppl on it 24/7, and most of the time Admins are present so its pretty fun there. Only problem is its dedicated EVO, nothing else.

ArmAs multi player realy isnt that fun, ive been playing since US release and im starting to get burned out. Heck normaly i can play the same game for 4 months, or even a few years without getting really burned out, but ArmA just burns away my desire to play.
