Sorry for posting only the bad things, good ones will follow... bad: smoke grenades are completely useless. What was your intention to reduce their duration of activity to approximately five seconds and to a ridiculous size of smoke? still unable to heal by default at friendly medics which is not in player's group. That was better in OFP in ArmA. Please change that.

give the policecar working flashlights and siren. It's looking weird when used at night. This car is useful for cutscenes, so such a feature should be implemented. And please give ground vehicles a better steering via mouse! It's horrible in compasrison to ArmA and OFP! Mouse is unuseable to steer cars. Have to use WADS keys. Steering of airplanes and helos is quite fine.

for the german community: just get onme from this company: Gamers Dream You can get the most powerful PC and spend a lot of money. I didn't buy one of these. :cool: I just ordered a new one, not only because ArmA2 is out but also because my current PC is really outdated. I ordered: -Intel core i7 920 -6 GB RAM -1 TB HDD -XFX GTX 285 Black Edition R -22' SyncMaster T220 If that system wouldn't run Arma" properly I will go to Tetris...

Thanx for that hard work! Unfortunately the Resistance Campaign doesn't work: Crash to menu level follows... :(

just to show the map of Chernarus from the official press kit: Well, I think it is not so important if the carrier really has a chance to get there, Chernarus is fictional and why not the Green Sea (so mentioned in the map) should be too? So as we have undefined borders of the map we also have a mysterious Green Sea... :)

hm, when the weapons section was revealed I was a little bit disappointetd that only the outdated Makarov PM was included for russian side. What about the Yarigin Gratch or the Gsh18? The PM is good for police forces and rebels, as well as the Stechkin pistol or old TT-33. On the other hand I am happy to see the M1911A1 and the M9. Good choice for Special Forces could be also the HK Mk 23 with silencer. OK, main focus is not on pistols, but this is the "suggestion" part of the forums... A .44 Magnum Revolver could be used for hunting...

maybe there is a thread about this topic, I didn't find it via forum search... I noticed the the official Arma2 website has been updated in the german language version. But I noticed also that there are some mistakes in translation, which make the descriptions a little bit unprofessional. I didn't have the time to read it all, but I will give you a few examples: Vehicles section: Don't call it "Kettenpanzer" and Radpanzer". "Tracked vehicles should be "Kettenfahrzeuge" and "wheeled vehicles" should be "Radfahrzeuge". The Ural is not an armored vehicle, so it is not a "Panzer". BMP3: "dual feed autocannon" should be translated as "Maschinenkanone mit Doppelgurtzuführung" The Mi-8 article is still not translated... Weaponry: M107 has got translation of KSVK. M107 is still not translated... M24: "bolt action" does not mean "Geradezugverschluß". The M24 has no "Geradezugverschluß". "bolt action" should be translated as "Repetiergewehr" only. AA/AT Launchers: FGM-148 Javelin: Please, dont say "Rüstungen". Correct translation of "armor" is "Panzerung". "Rüstung" is what middle- age knights wore on their horses. FIM-92F Stinger: "Vergeltungsmaßnahmen" is not right. "significant countermeasures immunity" sholud be "verringerte Störanfälligkeit". Igla 9K38: same as for Stinger. M136: "Rüstungen" again. Say "Panzerung". RPG-18 Mukha: "Rüstungen" again. SMAW: "Rüstungen" again. Strela-2 9K32: don't call it "Hinterteil eines Objektes". Say "Heck" please. "Hinterteil" is the word for a human's ass... static launchers: this sentence is absolutely useless: "Befestigte Panzerfäuste und Flugabwehrgranaten gehören zu den modernsten Verteidigungsmitteln. Stationäre Raketenwerfer verwenden Lenkraketen mit größerem Kaliber." What the hell? My proposal: "stationäre Panzer- und Flugabwehrwaffen gehören zu den modernsten Verteidigungsmitteln. Sie verwenden leistungsfähige großkalibrige Lenkraketen" Igla AA Sockel: "Sockel" sounds crazy. Translation could be "Igla Fliegerabwehr- Raketenwerfer" I don't know a really fluid- sounding description. Stinger Luftabwehrraketensockel: same as for Igla. TOW: "Rüstungen" again. Say "Panzerungen". Artillery: Podnos 2B14: "motorized infantry" should not be translated as "motorisierte Schützen". "Motorized infantry" in german is "Panzergrenadiere" in former west- Germany or "Mot- Schützen" in former east- Germany. For Arma" simply use "infantry", that's absolutely ok. So far, maybe someone will find other things to be corrected. No offence to the translators, but I think a game like ArmA2 is worth to get a proper translation. (I would be satisfied with an english website as standalone, but if in german, please in professional german.) Thanks for your attention! :)

T-34 is nearly funny I think. Do you remember the T-55 from OFP? That's a tank I would like to see ingame, but they made a T-34, also not bad. It is always useful for mission design to have outdated equipment for rebel forces or to simulate a situation of weakness. So I think it is a good decision to include that T-34.

I always play Arma1 in english despite I am german. There is a feeling of loosing athmosphere when playing in "wrong" language. Also some translations are a little bit curious I think. Not wrong, but better to use in english. Most of us are able to understand english to play the game in english.

You can order the game also via Amazon.de and they send it to your country. I think the german version will be switchable to english language as well. I am german and I always play the english version regardless the fact that I bought the german version. ArmA (and probably Arma2 too) are no "mainstream Games" for all the kids out there, so you will have to search for distributors and retail stores which sell them. If you are unable to get one, send me the money and I will get you one here in Germany. :D

btw: Victor Troska wasn't forced to use the Kozlice shotgun in this mission. Did you ever try to run to the big woodshed lefr from Mr. Troska's house? Look into it, there is the wounded guerilla lying dead on the floor. You can grab his AK 47 (or SA-58 in fact) to defend against the agressors. No need to use the Kozlice. But, I would like to see also more civilian or hunting weapons in Arma2 because it's more authentic to tell a story of a guerilla force originated by the local population. I hope something comparable to the "collecting weapons" aspect of "Resistance" will be implemented.

oh, unfortunately I am not available that evening due to a birthday party. But it sounds interesting, if I would be able to manage I would like to take part another event like this.

T-90 has no front sights for commander's MG when turned out:

Execellent work, guys! Good to see RHS stuff back in ArmA, I loved it OFP as well. Not to forget the famous RHS Hinds which were released earlier for ArmA. Thanks for that work!

Sorry, but only solution ist to try again. I recommend to use the "savegame"- cheat before arriving the repair zone. Just reload the mission from this point. If you are successfull the helo will fly in height of about 900 m. You can lower it by pressing the "Y" key. I know its frustrating, but I didn't find another way. And I finished it several times this way.

There's a lot of russian/soviet armor/apc in the VIT APC Pack from which the RHS BTR80 was taken. Maybe these versions could be modernized, I think they are pretty good.

Nice to see some older stuff from you guys! Its good for cold war scenarios as well as for resistance missions where they are equipped with outdated vehicles. Maybe we can see this in "germany85"? Thank you for filling up my mod folder!

Wow, really amazing stuff you brougth to us! Two really minor bug reports I want to give: 1) the tracers from especially the PKT machine gun do not impact at the same position like the bullets. That means tracers a useless to follow the bullets into target. Just test it on a distance of about 500 metres. 2) You added tracers to the machine guns 1:3. But all rounds have this small standard tracers (green). Maybe you could remove the standard tracers from the machine guns, so that there will remain only your custom tracer every third round? Everything else works fine, great job, thank you very much! edit: this concerns the T72 Pack as well.

Wow! Excellent stuff again from OFrP Team! Just played a little bit around with them and I am completely amazed especially about your huge selection of airplanes. I really love these LGB aircrafts. Finally a powerfull air force for the french troops in OFP. Couldn't test all the stuff yet, but it looks great! Just one idea for a possible update of the weapon pack: remove that old BIS grenade from your M4 w/ M203. Please make your own 40 mm grenade which takes only one slot or create a vest for that. Again: thanks a lot for that!

*lol* please, just define it as handgrenade, seems we'll get a "fruit war mod" next time. Awaiting the "cucumber battle" or the "strawberry massacre"

For all banana enthusiasts: mirror at OFPC.de: Rocked propelled Banana  Â

Made a mirror at OFPC.de: Saddam Chechen Terrorists v. 1.5 ORCS RPG Launchers v. 3.0 ORCS Weapon Pack 3.2 Should be all you need to play.

Banana skirts? Like the Chiquita girl?

*lol* funny idea!
