Yes i think this is a big problem, but can be solved, or just made better by using the ingame communication system. I think it's perfect and i like using it, but in most gamemodes it is disabled by default, by putting every player in separate groups. In older versions of domination i tried to use it, and i've seen other players using it. The only alternative is using a mic with voip, or ts3, but i never liked that, call me weird but i just dont really enjoy talking to people i dont know. In battlefield games there were some hotkeys you could use to call backup or other things, and it worked very well i think. i know that this system in arma 2 is not perfect, even annoying, when your groupleader is repeating "get back" constantly, so i can see why it is disabled. But it can be improved. Since this system lets you control ai as you like it is perfect for teamplay for those who don't use ts3, or voip.

Arma 2 is not just a simulation like flight simulator. I loved fs, and people couldn't understand why, cos it is good for a screensaver, but nothing else. Well Arma 2 is a bit more than a simple simulation, because it's a war game. Yes it's a game, you got goals, and it's not easy to win, it's challenging. I play it as a game, and not as a simulation. And ofcourse, simulations can be popular too. Games like silent hunter series, il 2 sturmovik, truck sims can be popular if they are decently made. However you are right if we say that simulations are not popular nowdays. Anyways i don't know why's the bitching, this is an interesting topic, and i'm interested what others think about this.

ppl became lazy playing cod and other console friendly casual games, they want to have fun instantly, turn off their brains, and just play. Arma 2 is a real pc game, you have to learn to play it, and thats too much to ask from a gamer today. I however never liked the simplicity of these console friendly games, and i prefer old dos games to todays full-of-eyecandy games. or more complex strategies, like the total war series. i dont know why...people are not the same.

Good to hear. Well there are still gamers out there who would love this game, they just dont know about it, or they give up, before they discover the depth of the game. This is a thing i was thinking a lot about. So why do they give up? Bugs, glitches, not at all userfriendly. This is a torment for players who has no patience. Do we arma 2 players have more patience? I dont think so. We just know what's inside. Yea, i was a big fan of operation flashpoint.

If im not mistaken you can select a color group by pressing shift plus the key of one of the units in the group

I think you forgot this is the bohemia interactive forum, and not the ubisoft forum. On ubisoft forum you can write anything, cos nobody really gives a s***, but on this forum you are not talking ABOUT the developers, you are talking TO the developers, so please respect them, and try to behave that way.

I remember Far Cry 2 to stutter when fps was high, an external program that made max fps to be like 40 made the stutter go away. FC2 also has a big open world, maybe these kind of games don't like 60-ish fps. Myself im happy with 30 for this kind of game, its not like it would make any difference anyways.

I never finished the ofp campaign, nor the arma 2 one. :p Maybe it's just me, but it gets boring after a while. Multiplayer, and editor is the way to go!

in my belowed homeland OA will be available next week...damn this contry! So my question is should i wait for steam to unlock OA or start downloading from sprocket? the sprocket site looks laggy so maybe download will be slow, and i want the game today! :( thx for the help!

omg, page 666!!!! lol sorry i had to. :)

there are things that look awkward in games, but with time you start to love them. :)

I'm pretty sure a lot of gamers would love this game if they knew it exists. But not the casual players, no. Rather the airsoft junkies, they would love it, and it can't be too realistic for them. And well there are a lot of players playing MW in hardcore mode, well i know MW is a bit faster, and more action oriented, but i remember when my airsoft playing friends said about hardcore mode "damn this is like airsoft, it's cool!". I guess they just need a chance to get to know more about arma2. But what i really don't want to see is cheating bastards on public servers. :\ To be honest i'm happy with the current community. what really could be good promotion for this game is ingame xfire support. I personally always check a live broadcast of a new game before trying to get more info on it, and i guess a lot of people do the same.

Fantastic! XD The story is so sick. lol funny as hell.

lol, good one
