Sorry Bud but its the other way around the thread you posted has 5 responses in it... and its title is non descriptive .... that thread should be merged with this more popular thread...

Hi the enemy indicators are very faint and I would like to boost the visibility of them. Right now they are the standard Faint Red Dots over the enemy forces. But What I would like to do is one of two thing or both if possible. #1 Change the opacity of the indicators so they are much more visible #2 Permanently see where the enemy is one the map... AKA OFP DR's Recruit compass indicator that shows enemy positions. This is total Noob I know but I just have an interest to see if it can be done since I have searched and found nothing. This will make the game unfair but for the casual gamer that just wants to have fun it would be greatly appreciated.

I thought ArmA had this - where when shooting a shot that hits will issue a hit indication sound. This feedback helps with hit recognition. Does ArmA 2 have this feature? during my games I did not notice this and I sort of miss it.

I looked in the config for something but could not see if there was an option for making them more visible

Stupid question but - How do they work? I put out the Medial training MODULE and it did nothing? Any pointers?

He's asking why the engine calculates every bullet and AI in the Game as well as has a vast MAP to contend with. He's confused as why this takes a good processor to run it with good FPS

I actually just got a chance to play the Xbox version with a friend in Multiplayer. OFP Rocks. Come on you can't tell me if you guys actually played it.... Because its great. Just enough complexity for the Xbox crowd. What a great game.

Actually I would like a MOD in all seriousness makes the AI in ArmA II a little more forgiving like OFP DR. I have had a lot of fun with it. I really love the interface and is well thought out. But anyone know of a AI toner downer tell me.

Its very playable but the machine gets very hot and the battery only lasts about 45 min at most. Also the maping of the ArmA 2 Keyboard is almost impossible... the lack of a real mouse is a killer. MBP 15" 2.53 Ghz,9600 Graphics.

Jeeeeezz.. the guy is telling you how to do something with Game's AI and you guys... WHO apparently Can't read a word of english jump all over him. Open your eyes read I will definitely try this out - thanks Herb

He is correct. This is my only problem with the game.... the enemy has an unfair sighting and reaction time. Oh wait hot-key support sort of lacking as well

Its a good drink as well.. oh wait.

I have to say the game is a little lopsided. Since I can barely see my target and I keep getting shot. I will approach from some distant tree covered (375 yards away) mountain and I get spotted EVERY time. I am convinced I should have never been seen. To top this I played a few games with generated enemies in the Editor. Enemy was outfitted with AK-47's with iron sites. I'm sitting quite a ways away with a sniper rifle and they are still hitting me anywhere I go. So before you attack.... take a step back and tell me what I am doing wrong or what I should be doing... because I am taking every precaution like sneaking up on them to using sniper rifles so I am far far away and its almost instant death from fire coming from the skies. Its not Fade I have a legal copy. I know that this is a very realistic simulator and have played this type of game for many years. But fair is Fair.

Music? Just does not fit the scene at all. Flight of the Valkyries or something majestic.

The AI can and does see through low grass where you cannot. This needs to be looked at I think the grass values should be closer to Bushes when you are prone.... where you are very difficult to see. AS it would be in real life. Not the way it is now where the grass is Just graphic Bling and really is not there to the AI. Also the AI can spot you from very far distances.... Distances that make the AI look like dots if you try to shoot them. I can be crawling through the woods come out on the lip of a cliff prone and still get spotted. Hey I'm all for a tough game but Recruit mode should be looked at to solve this.... Make it unrealistic. ITS RECRUIT mode. Take out the Being wounded part. Marker DOTS should be more visible than they are now. Make it a true Recruit mode so the rest of us can enjoy the game even more. Yes it would be wussy mode but it would be much better for any new player allowing them to enjoy ArmA 2 even more.

Set your difficultly to Recruit . That way it will be much easier for you to see the enemy. Also I have died on some misssions and had the CPU turn into the squad leader then I could follow them. I think I did this in the editor.

There is no doubt it probably has problems.... they delayed release. But the truth is they had to scale back the graphics to 1k draw distance because the new engine could not handle it. Monkeys also invaded their development studio. Oh the horror. Come on this is an ArmA board.

Clearly you both do not understand what type of game this is. Its not Socom that is an Arcade Shooter.... ArmA does quite a bit more. Huge Friggin Huge maps not small little multiplayer maps. You have total control over your player. Plus did you see the amount of weapons.... Wheeled,Flying,boats.....

The real issue here is If your Prone and the Enemy is Prone. The Enemy CAN and Does see through the grass to kill you while all your looking at is a bunch of weeds.

Turn down the Graphics and 8800 is not going to cut it if you have amything turned up in the graphics area. Normal or Low is going to get decent framerates. The 8800 is an old card now time to upgrade. ArmA 2 is a very detailed simulation it requires the latest hardware to run it using the highest graphics levels.

How much is it... The controller? $149 and sold out

He said Shrink..... lol

Ya good shooting and nice use of You Tube did not know you could do that. Thanks DudeSam

Wow Impressive. I agree with you I was just thinking how long we have been using the same sort of clunky from the start interface.

The 3D map editor has made some progress its cool. (Press alt-e in the main menu of the game)
