beat it once already and playing it a second time over. i like it overall, the quests are interesting and how the story branches out is neat and i heard DLC will be free. but theres alot of little gripes i have about the game too. the combat part of the game isn't that great. and some of the monsters are really annoying like the golems who will often get you trapped against a wall and keep knocking you over repeatedly untill you die and the annoying wraiths which i have a hard time hitting with my sword. and the alchemy tree feels pretty useless since you no longer need to spend any points in it to make anything. wish i could post some screen shots but the print screen buttons won't work in the game for some reason.

i think making prisoners work is a brilliant plan. if every prison became a factory we would solve our trade deficiet with china since we would now have the worlds cheapest work force. why should they be payed anyway? they are getting room and board and heathcare. i think i'll write my congressmen about this little idea.

some guys on another forum had a idea why the rapture didn't happen:

not much of a news article, but it is something at the moment. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/05/01/6566910-bin-laden-killed-obama-to-announce edit: apparently, the CIA has the body. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42852700/ns/world_news-south_and_central_asia/?gt1=43001

the whole story of a helicopter indiscriminately shooting civilians isn't true. the guardian posted a update as to what happened. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/blog/2011/mar/22/libya-air-strikes-live-updates

the reasons for getting involved in this conflict are the same reasons Bush and Cheny started using to justify a regime change in iraq after it turned out saddam didn't have any wmds to give to terrorists and now i see nations that were than against the iraq war are now all of a sudden ok bombing libyia. i don't like this at all and feel we shouldnt be getting involved in another war that may end up being another occupation with another insurgency and more expensive nation building. give these rebels some guns and rockets and make them remove gaddafi themselves.

i am liking it too, i just wish it had more maps, vehicles, and weapons. maybe they'll add more if enough people purchase it.

anybody know what kinda gasmask that is in the 10th photo? i never seen anything like that before. looks like something out of starwars.

that pastor has decided to call off the book burning event. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11255366 i don't even know why this was given so much attention. it was organized by a church of 50.

i like the game but heres my nitpicks: they removed some of the features in this new game that were in the old one. for starters you cant shoot from your car (at least i haven't been able to figure out how to) i know that it was kinda of a lousy mechanic in the first game cause it was difficult to shoot and drive at the same time, but they could of kept it in and made it a little better in the second game. police also no longer come after you for running red lights or stop signs. yea it was at time irritating to have police come after you in missions where you had to drive like a lunatic cause you were on a time limit, but still could of left option where you could set police difficulty. speaking of which theres way too many police cars on the streets. its like every corner you turn at there is a cop car right there. motorcycles would have been nice too since this is taking place in the mid 1940's to 1950's. would of like to have the mafia II version of the indian chief and early harly davidson. and side missions would of been nice to make it feel a little less linear.

you realise we were at war with vietnam about 50 years ago right? america 50 years ago was even worse than today. back than 20,000 military deaths were the norm and to destroy military targets by air would involve carpet bombing several city blocks with dumb bombs. Napalm was also a popular weapon of choice too.

I've seen worse police beatings than that one. One that comes to mind is a police chase in Birmingham Alabama. I'd post the video, I don't wana risk violating any forum rules by posting it, but its pretty easy to find on youtube. In my opinion these people really have it comming to them when they do stupid things like this.

heres a demo of some of the type of things you can make using the in game editor

the campaign is about the same length as all 3 factions of the first game combined. i think theres about 26 or 27 missions total. and you do get the map editor so you can make your own multi player maps and campaign style single player maps.

to answer the posters question, here is a description of Ohio's gun laws you may carry a concealed weapon but must have a permit. you must attend a training course to aquire a permit (its not free either). if you choose to carry a wepaon w/out a permit, than you must not conceal it. (you have to wear it where it can be openly seen). that doesn't mean however local police won't stop to question why you are wearing a weapon on your leg, hip or shoulder to see if you have any legitimate reason to have one in the open. weapons must be kept in the trunk of the car when tranporting them and ammo must be kept separated from the fire arm unless you have a conceal carry permit than you may keep the weapon up front with you. as for the suppressor, you may need to a special license to own something like that. since i don't know of anybody w/ a surppressor, i would guess that the state doesn't give such a license out to just anybody. you need to be 18 years old to be allowed to buy and own a rifle/shotgun you must be 21 years old to purchase a handgun. theres also some rules about customizing weapons, i over heard a store clerk talking about how this customer brought in a weapon for repairs, but had some after market parts on them. the customer apparently had some kind of paticular set up on this weapon that made it a illegal weapon, he was allowed to have each part individually on the weapon, but couldn't have them on the weapon together. that sums up what i know about OH's gun law

Arma 2 is a niche market. always has been since OFP coldwar crisis. and i'd rather it stay that way. would you really want arma2 OA to join in the feud between halo vs CoD: CoD vs Halo and Starcraft 2 is what im looking forward to, comes out this month.

First some preview videos from IGN: Escape from Vault 101 preview Megaton City preview The Wasteland preview The Super Duper Mart preview some gripe about the game being first person rather than the over head view. imo, i like it. you get to see the nice visuals. EDIT: found part 5 of this preview that shows what happens to the town of megaton and one of the xbox achievements. Tenpenny tower

own a Sig Sauger P220 and a Yugoslavian AK 47 (semi-auto only) and just yesterday i picked up a 12 gauge FN Herstal tactical police shotgun.
