Jester, the latest beta patch lets u start the game without the need of having the DVD in the drive. Another + for BIS.

Publishers determine release dates, not the developer.

37 and a proud ofp veteran.

Vegetation ArmA 2 On this site u can see what BIS has done with the vegetation for Arma2 and specificaly the AI viewblocks.

I'll try to find that video and link it.

@Panda, I sincerely hope that Arma2's AI will be very,very,very,very,very,very much NOT like Farcry2's AI. That is one of the dummest AI ever seen in a game. They did NOT use cover and did NOT move tactically. They just stood there firing at you or running towards you. Ontopic, The video's looked indeed very nice. Let's hope it plays just as well as it looks.

Beerhunter, go for the PC. Arma2 will only come out on the PC. Marek said in an interview (don't know wich one) that they are thinking of going back to the console but at this moment that is still to be decided. I advice you to wait until the game is released before you go buy a PC because you'll know what the exact specs are but a dual-core PC is a minimum.(see the wiki).

I don't think it is any different than the healing system in OFP1 only you don't need a medic. It could also be limited to the campaign.

Absolutly COOP. There is no other MP mode that can offer the same experience as coop. It does depend on AI so if it's as bad as it was in Arma before the latest patches than it wouldn't be fun. If a game that i like doesn't have coop than it has to have a good singleplayer experience to be worthy of my money. Farcry 2 is a good example of not being worthy as it is a badly done console port with no coop. Altough the singleplayer looks promising it is mired by bugs and control problems to be a good game.

@Robert Hammer: thanx for the hotfix.Really apreciate it. From RobertHammer's answer i get that if you don't have Queens gambit you get that error.Although it's minor it was kind of annoying having that message pop up every time u wanna place a unit.

Here are the screenshots. I used vanilla Arma, no addons,mods or configs present.

@RobertHammer: sure, I'll take one tonight.I'll try some options first, rule out if it's caused by something else. @Manzilla: No i'ts something like "SB Scope". I don't have any community made planes in my modfolders. Cheers,

I get that too everytime i want to place a unit. Very annoying. Other than that it's a great pack.

I don't want a light to shine on my keyboard and frikking search for 1 key in the midst of 100+ other keys (and have to remember them as well, without a booklet, next to the keyboard on the frikking desk) I want my eyes glued to the screen, my 2 hands round the damn near perfect 360 controller, fingers on the analogue triggers, 2 thumbs on 2!! analogue sticks ... with a couple of extra buttons to go, headset on, talking to my XBL buddies and go,go,go in my own self made, with the ffff***ggg mission editor, on a extended co-op campaign having serious fun in a quality mil sim shooter. ... and that is what i want on 360 Hee Masqubit, I do own a PC and an XBOX360 and have a couple of games on both platforms. I prefer the keyboard and mouse over the xbox controller but ofcourse that's a personal choice. However the worry PC gamers have about Arma2 being cross platform is a real one and has nothing to do with the one being a better games platform than the other, but simply the fact that in the past certain features were removed from games (like Oblivion) to make the game more accessible for consoles. We don't want to see that happen to Arma2. Does not mean i haven't enjoyed playing on teh XBOX. It's just a different gaming experience than on the PC. Cheers.

I noticed that if you set all your ai soldiers to "NONE" instead of "IN FORMATION" they don't exhibit the strange 'always in formation' behavior. Don't know if that helps but with that i get a more open feel so that they don't stick to the formation type unless u call all of them back to formation. regards, Niels.

I'm sorry, I don't no either. Â I have not seen any anomolies in 1.14, and you're the only person to mention it. The only difference between the last version and the previous version was the fact that the map was "properly" binarized so the doors and ladders work. Â I did not change anything in the config file - all the textures remained the same. Â Maybe someone will have an idea if you post an image or two of the problem? On a different note - work continues several hours a day on adding the edge growth (although I "lost" 3 days last weekend). Â Working toward the next release next week. It's allright now. Apparently updating my Nvidia drivers solved it. No more weird texture bug. Don't know what that was. Created a large tankbattle yesterday and had a lot of fun. I'll post some screenies later. regards, Niels.

Hi Nicholas. Really great map. I'm just having a blast driving on it. Only i have a problem regarding the latest version of your map and Arma 1.14. Wherever there are cornfields( i think they are cornfields) some weird texture bug starts freaking across the road. When i get home i'll make some screenshots. It's only when those fields are next to the roads. I reverted back to the last version of Schmalfelden. No problems with that one. I don't know if it's Arma patch 1.14 related or your map. greetz

That's good to here Suma. I'm a big user of fireteams and was a bit bummed by the command system in Arma.

1. Alien vs Predator 2. "That better be a boot.............it's a boot! Â ", "MOVEMENT" 2. F.E.A.R. Alma scaring me even when i expected it. 3. Half-life 1 & 2 + expansion packs. All had some pretty good moments. Others are OFP (some campaign missions altough i made some pretty scary and atmospheric ones myself), Painkiller, Bioshock, Stalker and Oblivian shivering isles.

The command problem is mainly due to the engine being a xbox port. I guess this was the best way to implement the command system for someone using a xbox controller. I don't expect it to be fixed for ArmA. Let's hope that BIS makes the ArmA2 engine spefically for the PC. I can't think of a single game that has benefited from being een console port. But there is first for everything so i'm hoping for the best.

I think the reason for the difference of opinion with the flightmodel is because most people that like Arma's FM have a flight or joystick or something like that. The Flashpoint FM is probably more favourite with the ones who play with the keyboard and mouse. I used to love flying helicopters in OFP.:love: Now with Arma i don't go anywhere near them in a mission. It just is'nt fun to fly them when you have a keyboard and mouse. As some stated before, Arma is not a flightsimulator. However there is nothing wrong with making it a bit more challenging than in OFP, but it's not challenging, it's too freaking hard. At least that's my opinion. But i guess Arma and OFP are too unique and broadspectered to please everyone. That's my 2 cents.

Null vote. When i'm not making coop missions i play them. Sometimes with a friend of mine at his house. Was never a fan for all the colourfull deathmatch and CTF modes in any game. And offcourse offline to try out my missions and play with new addons and stuff.

Thanks Scrub. I guess it's really obvious that it means roger. After all the imho's and roflmao's you're thinking that it's maybe a little bit more complicated. @SWAT - It's OK dude, I knew someone would say something. @Wolfrug - It's actually the F35B. The C variant will be able to land on aircraftcarriers. Btw, has anyone ever got the harrier to hover in ArmA?

Offtopic: With the chance of being called a noob, what the hell means "rgr" ? Ontopic: You know you've played to much OFP/ArmA when you're at the movies and recognise every single piece of military hardware in the movie. Had that last week with Transformers.

The problem is that the keyboard and mouse are to fast for the driving controls in ArmA. The engine in ArmA was build for the X-BOX game "Operation Flashpoint:Elite". Consoles use analoge gamepads. They are much slower than the mouse or keyboard. You see it with all X-BOX ports. Rainbow Six Vegas has the biggest problems with controls. These games expect a slow controller. When keyboard and mouse are applied things go wrong. For example with aiming or in this case driving. It's just a matter of dealing with the problem and getting used to it. But it still sucks. Drive safely!
