I paid $29.99 for Combined Ops at Walmart yesterday. lol Coulda saved $7. lol

Is there a mod that replaces default ACU soldiers in the SP Campaign with those in Multicam?

I'd go Sproket. I got ARMA II that way. I like it as all my info is in an e-mail that I can stuff in a folder and always have. No need to worry about losing the key or anything. And I can re-download it if needed.

It also needs to leave a shadow - looks like the guy isn't holding anything in that pic. Awesome!

IIRC, if you take out civvies, you'll lose standing and respect with the civvies. You're not winning any hearts and minds capping innocent civvies.

Alright - I just bought ArmA 2 off Sprocket and it's currently downloading. I played the original OFP and both expansions and also have ArmA 1 - but I never did much with ArmA 1. Never got any mods or even finished the campaign. Started playing other games and never picked up. So... What do you wish you knew when you started playing ArmA 2 that you know now? I did a seach and didn't find any similar threads, so I figured I'd throw one up and see what I got. :) ---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ---------- I'm assuming the first thing to do is apply the beta patch.

I always thought the original OFP had horrible sounds. Just the "chunk" sound of the M16 made me cringe. ArmA 2 stock is a definite improvment over past iterations. I'll also look into SOW - thanks. :)

I work for Walgreens and sub in the Pharmacy filling scripts - saw your name and thought I'd say something. :) Someday you won't need it bro! :) Also look forward to seeing what you come up with!

You a fan of anti-depressants, eh? :D You the 50mg or 100mg dose? :D

I'll check out that sound mod - thanks. :)

Only played for a little bit last night, but wow! This game looks great!! Big improvment in immersion - I loaded up the Village Sweep mission and was stunned by what I saw. Beautiful game! I then got properly wasted trying to take the village. :D

Thanks gents - I'll start reading up. :)

I'm ok when it comes to hardware - not the best, but it'll do. Intel x3360 @ 2.8GHz 4GB DDR2 @ 1066 ATi 4870 512MB Windows 7 Ultimate

Nice vid - thanks! Was that a Co-op or SP mission?

Wow! Really like that sound mod! You guys are making me want ArmA 2 more and more every day...

Man... As a DR owner, on the PC, I'm really feeling like this was a money-grab...

I have ArmA 1 - got it from the Sproket people and it was fun. What are the biggest differences between 1/2 that would make me want ArmA 2?

My boss was Special Forces in the Army for 17 years and has ridden on them numerous times. He says they do stop instantly. The suspension system is pretty amazing.

You mean when they pull the "charging hammer" (is that what it's called?) when they still have one in the chamber after reloading when you didn't empty the magazine?

You guys ever think that OFP2: DR is the best thing to happen to ArmA 2? It's gotta be pushing fence sitters who were waiting to see which is better to ArmA 2. I hadn't bought it because I was waiting. After buying OFP: DR, now I want ArmA 2.

I think I'm going to pick it up on Friday then. Thanks folks. :)

No, I'm just saying that for me, a great mission editor isn't a selling point. It's not a reason I'd buy the game.

It was a work in progress. :D I like that OFP: DR is a little more focused. That and the fact that I personally never experienced a bug or glitch (I have the Steam version). No ammo cache problems, no missing event triggers, etc. It was one smooth experience for me and I enjoyed it. :)

My problem with the OFP and ArmA games is they've always felt way too unwieldly. Clunky even. I don't know if that's how they want it to be, but I really liked how OFP: DR felt. I certainly missed the wide-open aspect of it, but it was still a fun experience.

That's what I posted on a few forums. I rather enjoyed OFP:DR. Honestly - if we could combine the two (ArmA and OFP), that would be a great game.
