Looks like no strafe sprint again, too bad.

As far as I know this has already been fixed. Workaround for such a thing would be to delete these two specific .pbos becouse its modular. No need to disable whole mod.

I buy more and more online just becouse I have to. Buying something like grocieries online though is just... dont even know what to say about it. I wouldnt be surprised if kids 20 years from now wont even know how real food tastes like. But thats another story. Im not happy about digital distribution. I love having games in a box. I remember that people here were not happy about DVD cases back in 2000 or so. Seeing my OPF GOTY box and all the manuals in it brings a smile to my face every time.

It was great but whats with all the bloom and dust is shining. Its way too much.

Usaully this happens if you loose direct visual contact with target. If you didnt, then I dunno what happened.

I noticed if they are in alert mode they have flashlights on but if they spot something, they go in danger mode and turn them off. I would be really nice if they would not turn it on/off on their own, atleast if team leader is human. So you could control what is on and not/command in actions menu would work properly.

I dont think there is a way but if it is I would also like to know. I remember that in official CWC FAQ for 1st SCUD mission it said "Have your LAW soldiers select their M16 so they stay prone". If I order them to switch to M16 via actions menu (F"X">6) they switch to M16 but if they see a tank they still use LAW. How to have them only use certain weapon? If its not possible it would be nice to have.

Yes it saves where you stoped playing and can be resumed later.

They were goin for dumbed down version for consoles of course but a lot good to it: -very fluid movment and cover system -good usage of controls -besides GRAW, best reload animations ever in FPS (not counting mods for other games) -interesting, well made story that makes for good coop -funny terrorist conversations -customizing your character and weapons like never before it -shitload of weapons and gadgets available. Attaching silencer on the fly -very good weapon, explosion sounds as well as decent voice acting -a lot of challanges, badges, etc. to accomplish/achieve -... All in all, they canceled meny things from previous R6 games, like customizing fire teams, planning before mission, etc. that I really liked but its far from fast paced FPS. In Vegas 2 you even have hardcore mode or so that limits your view when taking cover so its nearly like 1st person cover system. My point is that its not as bad as some of you make it apear to be. In DR, nothing is well made.

You dont have to be that extreme. There is a big difference. OFDR did everything bad and ruin the name. Vegas sure was dumbed down, not R6 anymore but what they were going for they did very good.

You can just create LAN game. However as said before, in lobby you have slots for players filled with AI. Disable slots to 4 vs. 4 or so by left clicking on them if your CPU is not amazing. Alternatively you can keep amount of slots to have more teams but lower amout of AI per slot in parameters. After game starts, vote yourself as commander. You can build factories via action menu. In action menu you also have "Options" where you can find gear, units and other sub-menus. You can command via High-Command as well if enabled in parameters. You can even launch an ICBM.

Can you move minimized radio around by dragging it? Try deleting in "yourNickname.ArmA2OAProfile" to reset the position. Maybe this helps. Untill you get a solution, you can call in same commands by pressing 0>0>"X".

I have to say, I liked OPF gun sounds a lot more. Well airsoft (oh, I mean AK) sound really kills immersion. Scars a bit better, not much. No need for BC2 sound quality levels but a bit better then this would be nice. L85 from BAF has much better sound for example. M107 not too bad either. So, little more consistency and it should be OK.

You mean like unable to have extra maps that come as DLC for MW2 and BO right now? 15eur for 5/4+1 maps. I didnt buy DLCs anyway becouse I do not support such actions as well as I liked one map per DLC, tops two. 18 or so maps that come with the game for 50eur is enough for me. After I get borring with that Im sick of CoD anyway. This video migh be of interest to some.

No comment needed. Players of PC versions of "Call of Duty" don't pay to play others online. That calmed me down.

I would rather have the same amount of units as in OA or less but greater detail.

That looks like Gears of War in near future. Why dont they rename the game to something else becouse this is not Ghost Recon.

Call of Duty is something completely else. You cant just overhaul a game like that. It highly depends on Multiplayer PvP which RR doesnt even have. Look at what happened to Counter-Strike when they overhauled it in Source. Even in 1.6 some things were weird compared to 1.5. It is a delicate kind of game to update. The game has real competitive scene playing for real money so you still always need to make the game balanced. Especially since its made for consoles where things are not so customizable as on PC. Btw, some guys made a mod for MW2, adding dedicated servers and such. So far, Activision have only been trying the EA way. That is taking features out and putting them back in for next part. I dont this it will work much further though. What more is there to improved in CoD? Not much besides adding all the features they had in previous parts, separately, back in and make the best CoD ever. But they know that once they do that, the only thing to update is gore and gfx. This is probably the end of CoD then. What more can be added to CoD? Well, for example, longer, more complex spec ops style missions. War mode. Maybe PvP progresive missions. Not just typical TDM, Dem, Dom. Maybe some vehicles. Whatever, as long as it does not mean reducing content/features.

I always liked Vegas cover system the best of games I tried on PC that have it. But I dont think player needs a cover system. As mentioned, some kind of "Fluid Posture" would be much better. Most of usable cover in arma 2 offers good cover horizontaly but verticaly, it is often useless. So adjusting your hight between "crouch" and "stand up" would be the best. However, I feel like AI cover system should be improved in a way that AI automaticly looks the "right" position depending on where AI came from. Right now you send him to a corner of a small building at his 3 o'clock that provides cover for left side of his body. He goes to cover and starts looking into a wall. In case like this one, AI should move just 10-20cm to his right and provide cover. So if anything can be done to AI so they recognize and utilize cover better, that would be great. It would save valuable seconds in heat of battle that you dont have. I like commanding AI so it would mean a lot and could bring joy to some that dont like commanding them right now.

I think he is refering to transfering from "parachuting" to "stand on the ground". It is a bit... still OPF. It could be little improved if it would spawn you on the ground sooner as you land and not glitch the characters legs into the ground for 5s for example.

Lag Ops were not that bad for me but servers or players were often lagging. So if they make the game with proper in-game RCon it might be good. As long as there is decent RCon I dont care about any overpowered UMP45s, ACRs or noobtubes. Like in Lag Ops, AWM + tomahawk only :). I just ban the weapons/perks I dont want to be used on the server. Oh wait, you cant do that on consoles... ...thats why I have a PC.

I belive this thread is about Steam vs. Steamworks and not non-steam vs. steam ArmA 3. From what I have seen I would say no or only partial Steamworks as well. However, IF I would have Steam for some reason, it is nice if you can just right click on your friends name and join his game. Or if you could go into a party and then together join a dedicated server.

I can only say that for example Crysis 2 has amazing stealth kills. They never get old, especially in MP. Well if it registers :).

I re-downloaded whole 1.3 and once again there is no ah1.pbo and no zu23.pbo (zus23.pbo / shilka is there) only _c.pbo files. Is there maybe some other link besides this one: http://addonsync.dyneslott.com/files/arma2/addons/jarhead/J.S.R.S.%201.3%20FULL.rar
