I say mod for arma, how is it going to get any better if there are no mods for it.

I think the AI is fine. I have the full game and the AI has not given me too many problems. For example, I got a sniper rifle and went prone in a bush on the big hill that overlooks the village on ramadi. I fired a shot at an AI and everyone in the area started running around and looking for me. When I fired another shot from the same position they zeroed in on me a bit more and I had 5 or 6 guys come running up the hill. I stayed in the bush and they didnt find me. they searched the whole hill including the backside before finally running back to the village. It was pretty intense when you have russians almost touching you and they can find you. I could hear them breathing as they ran by. Sure the AI has flaws but they do pretty well as they are. You cannot compare them to games like rainbow 6 las vegas because the AI in close quater shooters like that only have to deal with a small room were everything is made to hide behind. And if you really look at their AI they are not so great. They stand behind an object look over fire, crouch down, and repeat. They might change postions, but nothing too fancy.

No, once you install it on your comp and register it it saves it to your registry so you can install and uninstall as many times as you like. You only register once per computer. YOu would only have to register again if you comp gets erased or reformated. YOu get three registers and if you need more you just email them and they give you another. Don't give out false info if you don't know. I would recommend downloading.

With the new patch I can fly my chopper...but thats about it. Â They still lack the percision to shoot at anything and do much more than fly from point A to point B. Â They are alot better than before, but that is not saying much considerng what they were. Â They also can't gain altitude for shit. Â I can only make large sweeping turns if I am moving forward and when I do this I loose altitude quickly. Â Flying with mouse and keyboard is still crap, I use an Xbox 360 controller. Â The harrier flight model is still horrible, it can't be used for anything. Â It takes forever to turn and cannot gain altitude like the choppers. Â It feels like flying a rock. Â Over all still needs tons of work. Â I was expecting alot more out of the choppers in this patch. Edit: oh and all of the helicopters feel the same. The Mi-17 doesn't feel like a heavy helicopter, feels the same to fly as the AH-6

I do not think hiding bodies makes them disappear just go underground. As for deleting dead bodies I know how to do it for ofp, but have not tried in arma. Use the delete vehicle command. There are lots of ways to delete them via scripts or triggers, Sorry I can't be of more help right now but I have to go. Just play around with delete vehicle and us the units name.

I have been using the 360 controller for flying in ARMA for a week now and it is still not good. It is near impossible to turn a heli in a reasonable distance or to aim at anything. I don't know if this is realistic or not, but the footpedals do not work at speeds over like 30 or 40 mph.

I don't know if some of the were crouching or not, but I hit a group of about 30 guys on the road an my pickup truck went airbourne and landed on its side. I then proceeded to get out of the truck and murdered by the 100 still left.

Everyone was complaining about how long it would take to release and so they release it early and everyone complains because it has some bugs. Â I have the game and the bugs are not too noticeable. Â Alot of the gripes I have seen are from people who hadn't played OFP too much and were complaing about things that we had in OFP, and then there are complaints because everyone really just wants OFP with better graphics. Â They change the menus (and I like the menus) and everyone says the should change back. Â They change the flight model and everyone complains, and I am going to give BIS the benifit of the doubt on the flight model because I know they will improve it. Â They change driving and again everyone complains. Â They released it eary because thats what everyone wanted, the trade off is that there are some things that still need to be ironed out. Â The game is definatly playable and is definatly fun. Â As soon as mods start being put out the game will jump far beyond anything ofp could do. By the way ARMA for me at least runs great. Â I have the graphics on high, except terrain which is on low because you can't notice, and I can max the veiw distance when flying. Â I can have lag free battles with hundreds of troops. Â It is great. @Mora, who says everyone is returning the game? Have you even played it?

Very good. now go draw in your coloring book.

After trying arma I agree the old system was better. Â Driving is not so bad, but the crossharis should definatly be brought back for flying. Oh and the auto-center thing is horrible.

Smoke="Smokeshell" createvehicle (getPos Name select 0,getPos Name select 1) ^ That should also work, a bit shorter

After playing arma for a few hours now I love it. That being said it does feel unfinished. The flight models are good and bad. On the one hand I love the flight model when flying the camels. It feels very realistic, I don't really know how to explain it. The harrier and the choppers are a different story. I have found it very hard to turn the choppers (please tell me if there is a good way). It feels like I have to fight and trick the chopper into turning unless I want to make gigantic sweeping turns. There is very little percision when in comes to flying and I have trouble hitting anything with the mg. It feels like all of the vehicles have auto center. The choppers need alot of work. The harrier just feels weird to fly. It is very sensitive to roll and is sluggish at turning. I don't know if this is realistic or not, but it does not feel right. I know this is kind of jumbled and incoherent, but I am going to get back to playing.

Arma may not be a flight sim, or a tank sim, or a driving sim, but it is a combat sim. Being a combat sim it draws people who like sims. It will initially pull in people who like all the pretty screenshots, but many of them will be turned away by its "complexity", at least many FPS fans seemed to think ofp was too complicated. Anyways if everything goes right I will be playing arma in 5 hours and 30 min God I hope my connection doesn't time out.

Have you tried using the building ID instead of watertower. In OFP you could click show id and it would put an objects id number over it on the editor map. DOn't know if it is the same for arma.

Go to photobucket.com and create and account and upload your photos. Then just click on the image button when you post here (photobucket also provies you with the image tags so you can copy past the link) and add your picture. Just make sure that your image is 100 kb or less. If it is more than 100 kb post a link to it.

I am downloading both at the same time becuase they seemed to be capped at around 22 to 25 kb/s. If mine freezes when it gets to 90% I am going to freak the F#@k out.

Removing crosshairs and 3rd person is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. It can be disabled...... I think some people just like to bitch about things.

actually they wont be bad, its not the textures that make arma look better its the normal and bumb maps along with all the other graphical goodies arma has.

I am trying to download arma through morphicon, but the download link goes to a blank page. Anyone know whats going on, is it down right now? EDIT: got it to work 32 kb/s

I never ask for anything for christmas, but I think my mom is getting me a new phone.

@funnyguy1 -The AI is handles by your cpu, so you could have nice graphics becaues your graphics card is good but could stuggle with a large number of units due to your cpu.

I know this is a bit offtopic, but the best way to use camera.sqs is to make a trigger activated on radio alpha. Set it to repeatedly. On Activation: player exec "camera.sqs" That way you can play and just press the radio alpha either in your map radio or the command menu and when you are done press the V button, or what every you weapon optics button is and it will exit the camera and you can continue playing. Then press radio alpha and use camera again. L button is to turn off crosshair in camera. This is just from OFP don't know if it is the same in ARMA

Oh man I love the sounds and the explosion effects top notch stuff. I also love the recoils, too bad you guys are done.

These last few posts should be deleted. Â Can't you people learn a little bit of patience? Â The game will be out in a few months so calm down. Â You should not talk about pirated software at all here it is in the forum rules. Â So, chill out wait the two damn months and buy the game when it comes out...not so hard. edit:there

Everything is this pack is quality work, Good job ebud and all that worked on it.
