    Does anyone still play ARMA2?

    WOOT! Had about 20 people on the BMF 'HOLD' server. What great battles! *And I gotta get pgill back!

    Good news!

    The "other" game similar to ARMA2 came out and it sucks! The single player is ok but the MP is some of the worst I have played.

    I hope you can do something. I know many here enjoy playing computer opponents, but the fact is, the money is where good PvP is. Just look at every successful FPS. ARMA2 has the potential for greatness. However their internet coding needs a lot of work. Games like "HOLD" have shown the players we BIS has what it takes to win at this but performance must be improved. To much LAG in an FPS will drive many away.

    screw coop. AI is a game killer. PvP is where the action is. And everytime you kill someone you know it was another person trying to do the same to you and not some script.

    Finally enjoyed Arma 2

    Did it have AI on the server or was it pure PvP?

    Favourite Infantry class

    If you played against me, you would know I am good at sniping :). Thus I chose sniper. - LockDown
  7. BIS is by far miles ahead of the competition. I do hope they bring true armor ballisitics, reduced grass height in the radial clutter, and improved net coding. Those are the only 3 things keeping ARMA from being perfect in my opinion.
  8. Berzerk has great servers and the PvP action is second to none!! If you have not tried em get to it men! Makes the AI maps seem weak and pathetic! See ya in game!
  9. If I DL mods, does it matter unless the MP server you are using has them as well?
  10. huh? Whatcha talkin bout willis?

    Grass on or off?

    Grass only hurts you. It surrounds you but those from afar have no problem seeing you.
  12. When driving the truck, why do I always hear doors slamming shut as I drive? And when driving the motorcycle, why does the engine sound like it is always revving up and down instead of staying at a constant speed?
  13. Or does BIS have it as eye candy only?
  14. In a game selling it self as a "war sim", there are two areas I believe BIS MUST address in order to put this game over the top. 1. Distance blurring for infantry that kneel or lay down. - I think it is obvious to anyone who has played this game, especially in PvP, that they fact you are surrounded in grass on your screen yet in plain sight to a soldier at distance is VERY frustrating. Now we know you can not put grass everywhere for performance reasons, but this issue was brilliantly addressed by the Delta Force developers, 'Novalogic'. What they did to solve this issue is to make a soldiers LOD (level of detail) at a distance turn into a "blur" that matches the ground textures (think of the alien in the movie 'predator'). It does not make them invisible but it does make them very difficult to see unless you use binoculars or they move. It is an easy fix to a very annoying issue in this otherwise fun game. 2. True armor ballistics as found in the MMO WWII sim "Battleground Europe". (old video but it explains it well) - This will again bring greater detail to a sim game that would add another level of strategy that is needed to stop the boring and mindless "hit point" system.
  15. I HATE the grass that blinds you from seeing out when you lay down but disappears to those 50 yards away from you. PLEASE introduce some sort of blending into the grass grass tile as in other game. It is a game killer as it stands now.
  16. And in the system we had referred to, if you moved you would be visible.
  17. I could car less about AI. I am talking mainly about PvP.
  18. Does BIS even read our concerns??? I was not going to but I am going to have to give OFP2 a try now.
  19. A patch coming out in a few weeks is bringing just that. Supposed to be massive!
  20. I remember you and your point about ballistics adding much needed realism to ARMA 2 has nothing to do with our discussion to better this game, but instead with a bone you want to pick with DOC.
  21. When someone shoots, it seems to create more than normal amounts of smoke.
  22. I think you are missing the point. If everyone had grass around them from your POV, that would be fine. But, assuming you have played the game, you notice that the radial clutter is only about 40yds around you. That means anyone further out may not be able to see you because of their imposed grass, but to you, they are WIDE open. They are ways to fix this as we have mentioned and wish BIS would implement them. Until then it is just frustrating and takes away a lot from them game. ---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ---------- We have listed this as some of our options.
  23. At least make it half the height of what it currently is.
  24. can only be reduced server side.
