Not wanted to necro this post, but I have issues with the armor training mission also. The moment I need to switch to commander (which goes automaticly) I get thrown out of the tank. I can't board it, and the leader sais I am the tank commander now. Since I can't board I can't finish the last part. Is this a new bug?

Installing Queens Gambit now :).

Guess I'll stick with ArmA I. I got around 30 fps with every setting on normal in the ArmA II demo and I'll bet it will drop a lot in the full game. I never finished the ArmA I campaign, but after this weekend I am on the first mission to attack the main capital of the invading country. I never played Queens Gambit so I have a few questions about it since I couldn't find it anywhere. -Is the campaign good? -Any new vehicles? -A new island? Thanks in advance, now I need to find a shop who sells it. Edit: I found the answer to question 2 and 3 :) Edit: And I just ordered it and expect it to arrive withing 2 days.

I like the demo. I can run the demo on all details on "normal" and then it is playable. However, the demo is a small area so I don't know about the full game. That area is much larger, but I doubt I can run everything on "normal" settings then. Anyone that can confirm this? Also it would be great to have at least 1 airplane in the mission editor so I could fly a bit. Overall, I am very happy with the demo.

Put a piece of paper between the walk key and another key on keyboard. If the walk key is pressed down, force the paper in and voila... autowalk. Or put something heavy on it.

No store within a 100 mile radius has it here in the Netherlands for me or even on the release list. Although I bought a new PC not long ago (I could only afford dual core with 9800 GTX+) I am glad there will be a demo soon to see if I can run it though. If I can run it however, I will purchase it online or wait for it to come on steam.

As in OFP and ArmA, the vehicle speed where always normal and fast. How is this done in ArmA II? I always hoped for a mod or something that allowed to shift gear. Like moving real slow in 1st gear and when you shift it would speed up a bit every shift and go really fast (depending on vehicle) when in 4th or even 5th gear. Does anyone know how vehicles will handle in ArmAII?

Ah ok, we already have 3 in ArmA. Didn't know about that :) Guess I have to read the manual more often when I buy a game.

I voted for OFP. Mainly because OFP was the first military combat simulation I played. I was overwhelmed by it's excellent non-repetitive gameplay with much freedom. I didn't have that same feeling when I bought ArmA, but that is normal. Same thing is for the 1st MMO you play, the 2nd doesn't feel as good. Just like OFP, ArmA had many issues on release. But because OFP was patched beyond recognition it felt better then ArmA when that was released. On release of ArmA, I couldn't fly a chopper normally but now it's much better. One big letdown in OFP was that it had no Join game in Progress, and that is why I play ArmA more. Also the patches (and my new PC) allow me to play ArmA on all high settings and most bugs are squashed. The campaign however was much much better in OFP. The main campaign and the 2 expansions I played more then the ArmA campaign. So for single player I rather do OFP, but now with the current version of ArmA I rather do ArmA mutliplayer. However, I will drop both OFP and ArmA when I get my hands on ArmA II

And waiting (im)patiently for ArmA II. When released I go buy 2 copies so I can install on both PC's and have fun killing my wife. Or my brother when he visits. /cheer

I must admit I didn't like ArmA that much when I compare it to OFP which I still play and have fun. Although not a totally bad game, it felt a bit simplified. Now OFP gets a little outdated and I don't want to play ArmA. So soon I get a new choice. But will it be OFP2 or ArmA2. I have totally no clue what to expect of both games. Both look great when I see the trailers and screens, but which will come closest to OFP. Since Bohemia is the creator of the original OFP, I think I want to spend my money on ArmA 2. I don't know what the system specs are, but I guess that doesn't matter and for either game I have to upgrade. Can someone show me the systems specs, since I couldn't find any link or information on it. Maybe I had to much wine, but I just couldn't find it anywhere. Also, can you tell me why you chose ArmA2 above OFP2. Or vise versa or whatever if you choose to play both. Thanks in advance for answers

Hmm odd, never seen it. Only a green icon telling me what i can do, and I can perform it using the middle mouse button. Im gonna try it out and see if I get a menu. If there is, I am gonna feel so stupid  Edit: Ok, I feel stupid

Thanks for the link Simplified might be a bad word choice of me, but English is not my native language. I can give some examples from what I meant -When you stood in front of a vehicle in OFP, I could press my middle mouse button and I got a little menu in the lower right corner with several options. In ArmA I only get one huge icon that sais what I can do. -The single player campaign totally didn't catch me. It felt like a bunch of levels thrown together and then called a campaign. But as I said it is totally not a bad game. Anyway, I am sober now and read alot of information. I really look forward to the game right now and I guess it is to soon to make a choice between ArmA2 and OFP2. Maybe I will just give them both a try and stay with the one I like best then. /salute

After not having played ArmA since 1.08, I will re install and try again. Thanks for the great update . I found out a bit late, but that is because I play to many games.

In OFP there was a file called "stringable.csv" or something. I downloaded a flagfight template and in the description file there is peice which says: onloadmission "$STR_MP_M14n01" Where can i find these strings in ArmA? I looked almost everywhere.

It's not a hate against women. But i for sure wouldn't want to live on an island with only men on it. would you? And i need a woman for my witch hunt map. I made one for OFP in the past where you have to kill a witch for points. You play in a city just doing deathmatch and a witch also appears randomly. When you shoot her, she burst in flames and screams and you score 10 points extra. She spawns later again. Of course the isn't recognizable because there are also hordes of zombies which spawn with doing certain actions. So there you have my explanation why i need women.

No female civilians? That is a big let down. I want to shoot women.

IS the AH-64A Apache in the game ( havent found it but seen some nice screens) or is it a mod?

For some reason i cannot figure out to lift of or land with the harrier vertically. I tried autohover but it still goes forward and not up/down. When im on the ground and use it i can see that the turbines are blowing because of the wind animation (although they are still pointing backwards). But i can't get of the ground except forward. Can anyone help me with this

I got 2 scripts i wanted to use (which i used in all my OFP flasgfight/CTF missions) and those are vehicle respawn and a script so you spawn with all your weapons again. Im looking through forum now to find them for ArmA, as i think they prolly will Thanks for the link, it's very usefull.

In OFP i downloaded some great mods with animals. One was with fluffy bunny wabbits. Are there any addons for ArmA with animals?

I have 2 kids of my own and sometimes out of frustration in would be great to shoot m once in a while to pieces is ArmA (i have 2 adorable kids though). Also in horror packs it would be great to kill giant zombies and have a level end-boss or something.

Thanks guys
