I hope that like, when you select a unit and click on the landscape it shows that move order on your map. In OFP and Arma, in order to know where each unit was told to move - you would have to give your units orders on the map. The map would show a (5) or something at that units waypoint. However, if you order a unit in-game, that order does not show up on the map. :( -
Glad to see they are managing to still continue to support Arma while a new game is nearing its end of development. You guys rock :)

Having "the commander do it", is a completely unrealistic goal. Unrealistic in that it just would yield horrible results. Not that its a bad idea. What happens if you have 4 people on your team and no one wants to command? The person that is forced to command will do a poor job and your entire team will suffer. I know the responce to this, "well vote him out"... But no one wanted to command in the first place - therefore your team is screwed. Independance of the players is really the only way to "spread the blame around" when it comes to your team winning or losing. -What if the commander disconnects and no one picks up the plate? On the other hand, organized games, organized players & matches with specified and trusted commanders, would be great. But again, that's not most games. I'd really have to hate every other game I played because the commander just happened to be a complete idiot and I couldn't get the votes to overthrow him (mainly because players are lazy and don't often vote a second time). ================ On another note... this (to me) looks almost exactly the same as Arma.. :confused: --The UI icons showing the units under your command are still HUGE after all this time... I hope I can make them 60% smaller. -

W00t! Warfare looks good. -
You obviously don't know anything about system resource allocation do you? Cod4 the map sizes were what? A 100 square feet? lol! You can make any graphical masterpiece with those conditions.

hehehe cool! :)

Wow I was just messing around on the island and got that OFP feel again. :) This would make an excellent Warfare. In fact, I may end up getting back into Arma full time again and do it myself. :)

Yes assigning colors is nice and everything but doesn't address the whole issue. If you have even 5 tanks under your command and the units inside them are disorganized all over the place in your command bar, there isn't enough colors to maintain a high level of efficiency. Not to mention, it still doesn't group the units together. Units 5, 16 (for tank 1) still encompass 2 command bars - which still have to be navigated through even with the color option selected. In fact, it may even take more time doing it that way. -

Wow man, absolutely stunning! This game just got a whole lot more interesting. Thanks for all your hard work! :) -
I admit I had goosebumps during the first trailer that used the old ofp music. BUT it will be a huuuuuge disappointment if this game is just a glossed over version of Arma with OFP styled music. It'll be a clash of two very memories and I will cry.

Team/Group Sizes
BLSmith2112 replied to M.Andersson(SWE)'s topic in ARMA 2 & OA : MISSIONS - Editing & Scripting
I find it time consuming enough to micromanage 10 ai. Hitting F12 every once and a while and trying to find that 1 unit is hard enough :p What I reallllllllllly want is if say: You have 20 units. 10 Units (5 through 15) die. Leaving you with units: 1 through 5, and 15 through 20. I want the 15 through 20 units to automatically be brought down to fill the 5-10 spot. Also, while we are on this. I would also love it if you had 10 tanks under your control - that all the tank's units could be "grouped" together so you could command 10 tanks in 1 command bar (f2-f11). Rather than looking through the dictionary of units under your command to try and find the driver or gunner to each tank. What if the gunner (number 3) is inside of the tank of unit 40? THAT gets annoying fast. Especially if you are not within visual distance of those unit(s). -
You are kidding right? Have you not read the 3 posts in this thread?

It'd be nice to have like a designated thread for people to post the news they discover and have the same place be a place where all the comments from Ohara/Maruk/Suma (+ the wonderful others) are placed there having said things like "The Radio isn't done yet", etc. Having that thread barred from discussion (while leaving this thread open for news postings and discussion). That way people don't have to come on here every night and have to scan through 200 pages of new pages of ranting discussion with a link here and there. Because, as I see it - most people aren't willing to travel 60 pages back before making a comment thats most obviously wrong or inflammatory... granted many of the posts *cough* here are stupid regardless. If that thread had like a Czar that took all the news from that new thread and made them all available in the OP, that'd make it even easier. -

I'm gunna regret posting this later, but pethaps its the heat agging me on in my office. 1:45-1:50 of the Countryside video. Now unless thats just some wickly messed up lighting effect or an object that just is gone one second and there the next I dunno. To buildings litterally fall down that fast? It's like gravity has a force of 200m/sec. Here comes my radio rant... Yes they aren't finished, yes its WIP... but even if the radio sounds are 10% and they will be hiring zombie robots to do their radios for them - I will be going insane listening to this: I hope they have a lot of "pain" sound effects because hearing: In the exact same tone and voice over and over and over again will make everyone go insane. Yes pain hurts, and you should make noise - but when its a broken record we've got issues. Especially if your out in the middle of no where and have to listen to it for 20 more minutes. Maybe it was just this video I dunno. All in all, very good videos. I did get a bit dizzy though watching the guy run.. I run all the time and I can see perfectly fine. -
Yea I know of it. But thats just it, its something BIS needs to focus on without having the need for a 3rd party addon marker. Another quote to help soften any worries. (Talking about the recent release of some previews not liking the radio structure).
-
That requires physics, which BIS hasn't been really known for :) Edit: OH RLY? W00t! Sorry I misjudged and assumed too much. Hot damn, now I'm excited.

Those are some awesome pictures. But at this point I'm actually no longer interested in "maximal details" as 80% of the people here will be running on "normal/medium"... and so far those shots have been very depressing in comparison to these high quality shots. I mean cmon: Advertising at its best :) -
