The AI and story would be two big things I'd like to see improved. * The AI has a lot of improvements since the original ArmA release but it still only feels like the OFP AI after some tinkering. Ultimately I hope ArmA2 will have a new AI command and control system along with better behavior. From my experience the AI usually act like dumb ducks proning on the ground or running towards enemies without ever spotting them or realizing there are shots coming from that direction. They don't use cover or many tactical or intelligent maneuvers and need to be crack shots and follow your "target" through the terrain and buildings or just be in huge numbers to be any threat.. * The campaign and story was another disappointment in ArmA, especially when you compare it to OFP. In ArmA there are just so many heroics and generic and boring missions to accomplish. It really just felt like being in an arcade game racking up as many points as possible. It wasn't all bad, some of the missions were fun and exciting.. but it could have been better. I still remember the dramatic moments in OFP.. for example when your squadmates, who you were just beginning to recognize, are massacred.. or when you are lost behind enemy lines running through a forest with hostiles in hot pursuit. Anyways those are two of the biggest improvements I hope to see in ArmA2, either way I'm sure to buy it and love it. Rock on!

Awesome!

Several of us have Dual Core computers. When we try hosting a Dedicated Server it crashes as soon as the game starts as well

Hi, I tried to play this game at a LAN Party but was not able to. Whenever someone hosted a game, either through a local or dedicated server, it would always crash once everyone was ready and the game was started. Has this happened to anybody else? What's going on? Thanks.

I'm having a similar problems but for me comes up as more than one file. Sometimes it's anims.pbo, wheeling.pbo, ui.pbo, sara.pbo and a few others. I've reinstalled the game several times and I can never get the patch to install properly, I don't think I've even made it past the Verifying stage. I have full administrator status on this computer. I hope you don't mind me posting in this topic instead of making a whole new one.
