    ^ Troll.

    The game is not dying. Taking a look at these forums should immediately tell you that. OFP even isn't dead, and it's been 9 years since it's release. The MP also isn't dead; not in ArmA II, ArmA or OFP. There are far more than 2 servers for ArmA II. It takes very little effort to download and install mods, join a clan, or use TeamSpeak/Ventrillo/Mumble. Some, like Slyder73 here, just find that hard, as do most of the modern gaming generation.

    agreeed, couldn't of said it better myself.

    I agree.If anybody dares say something negative about the game then they're "trolling".

    The reason this game isn't more popular is simple.They are among the buggiest games you'll find anywhere and for a game that came out in 2009 its graphics are very outdated.

    I disagree, it's when you say outlandish things like "there's only two mp servers" is when it goes into the realm of stupidity and trolling, I think Zipper was right on point.

    Someone using superlatives claiming that the game is dying, when it quite clearly isn't, or is broken, unplayable, etc. is simply trolling. One can at least form a balanced argument instead of resorting to one extreme or the other.

    The graphics aren't outdated, and it is not one of the buggiest games of 2009. Again, hyperbole and superlatives. People claim ArmA II to be better looking than some of the most graphically impressive games out there. Even PC Gamer admitted that playing ArmA II on Chernarus looked better than playing Crysis or even Far Cry 2.

    Sure, at release the game was buggy, but it's no where near what it was like back then. Many patches have been released, and there are many more to come, plus Operation Arrowhead. The game isn't popular not because of it's bugginess, it's graphics, it's performance issues, etc. It's not popular because 1) it's not a mainstream FPS/MMO/RPG/MMORPG/RTS/etc. and 2) there's little to no marketing for it.

    Agreed again.

    what if rockstar got involved???

    the game would sell like hotcakes to all the idiots of the world.. and the rest of us who depend on opflash/arma for close to 10 years will again be without a home... forced to play nothing, or play unrealistic crap like bad company and modern warfare ...

    don't get me wrong, I enjoy the mw single player story, its very good, but the game itself and the mp is arcade crap... not even close to being comparable to the ability and versatility of arma2..

    I would like to see everything they can fit harmoniously into ArmA in it, without compromising what we already have.

    I agree

    where do i want to see the next game taken? Honestly, I want to see the next game in a very long time.

    I want to see maybe a couple more addon packs and extra mini campaigns by BIS, and then let them take a break. stand up, and let arma 2 sit and mature for several more years, much as OFP did back in the day.

    Let this game mature, and in a few years after some other games like CC, and the future unknown projects with RV3 have been made, lets come back and talk ArmA 3 ;)

    agreed

    Bohemia Interactive is a small company, they know and love the engine that they're using now (Forgot the name). There is absolutely no point in using the CryEngine 3, it's expensive it's something Bohemia isn't used to and we can already do alot with the engine we have, though it would be nice, it isn't necessary.

    correct!

    It is better for them to use an in house engine imo, and it is especially better for the mod community.

    For one I would like to say that I am HAPPY these games are not a mass market frenzy.. as the game would most likely change and become crap.

    BIS knows they have a niche market cornered and they cater to that niche market. They are doing the right thing. 99% of gamers could not handle a game like Arma, especially the younger generation.

    Place an empty parachute. Set special to "FLYING", and name it 'chute1'. Place your guy, and in his init field type 'this moveInDriver chute1'.

    i must be doing something wrong because I'm trying to do this parachute thing and when i load in im on the ground and the chute is falling. Anyone know if this is the right way?

    EDIT : I was trying to use steerable parachute, it works with regular parachute.

    Because it is for the people who want "THAT MUCH realism". AKA, not you?

    There are a lot of people here who hate unrealistic simplistic action games like BF2.

    count me as one of them.. thats for damned sure.

    If you are having trouble in piloting the helicopter with your flight stick I would suggest trying it with the mouse and keyboard to see if you get the same results.

    In op flash and when I first started playing Arma I was always insistant on using my joystick, but then I gave the keyboard and mouse a few tries and never went back. Not only is it easier to land the chopper imo, I don't have to keep switching everything around. The only thing I miss is using the hat switch to move my view on landing, but the way my controls are configured I can basically do that with the keyboard.

    Tell me about it :D. Doesn't unlock until the 30th for me. I'm still pretty happy with the decision though, at least we got to skip the big bugs so there is still an up side.

    why not till the 30th??? location? thats weird, i thought steam was steam lol.

    You'll have to wait until you get the full version. Most of the hardcore players have been playing it for a while now, you won't find many playing the demo.

    The guys I play with have had the full game since the initial release but I was kind of screwed because I made the steam preorder. :). If you get into MP with the demo you better expect to find alot of idiots.

    lol, steam activation is like 22 hours away and the demo comes out! pfft... downloading!

    I can't wait to get in on the action with all the bastards who have been playing for weeks.. lucky SOBS!

    chute opens automatically, im not sure if you have to be a certain height though, like it wont open if you jump off a roof for a quick getaway like in bf2

    thank god... lol... bf2.... lol....

    anyways

    chute has always been an automatic open thing, unless its edited into a mission to do a HALO or HAHO.
