Well, I've only ever played ArmA II with my Logitech G9 mouse, and it's served me perfectly. But like Mr Burns said, you don't need such expensive mice for ArmA II. I play other games where I find it a lot more useful (e.g. MW2).

Well, if that's the attitude that you have towards this game, then you probably won't be wanted here. It ain't the game for you. However, it seems a bit odd that you spent all this time searching for stuff and never came across this. It's made for ArmA 1, but most of it still applies to ArmA II. You also have this too, which I can't believe you missed. And I learned how to play this game through trial and error, so have most people here I'd imagine. The only difference is that I started in Operation Flashpoint.

To me, it looks like it has a significantly lower production value. Graphically, it looks very sub par. The recoil of the weapons for the few seconds you see them looks very odd, and some of the animations look quite out of place.

It's not the final patch for ArmA II, not by a long shot. They used "final" to distinguish between it and the beta patches, that's all. It's the "finalized" patch, not the last one ever.

Well, the UH1Y is definitely still there. I'm playing in 1.05 and flying it right now. You should really not act surprised that something disappears after a patch when using mods... I thought that was common knowledge. :confused:

Karel/Gaia/Str has not released any missions for ArmA II aside from EW (and what an awesome debut it is). However, he released When The World Ends for OFP, localized in Czech and English, and World End Tale, localized only in Czech. WTWE is still one of the best campaigns for OFP, and I wish I could have played World End Tale, as it too looks awesome. I could play it, but I wouldn't understand anything. :butbut: You can find his website here. And, I thought I'd just show you another example of his work, from World End Tale. It's absolutely incredible. EUBfjDlOAlg To answer the thread's topic, I find EW to be perfect.

The patch is awesome. I got back from holidays late last night at around 12AM and stayed up until 3AM testing it and playing Eagle Wing, which in itself is an awesome campaign (kudos to Karel). I love the Apache. :eek: This is exactly what I was hoping for. An awesome late Christmas present for me, and something that will keep me coming back for more. Though, even if it wasn't like this, I'd still be coming back for more. BIS kick the asses of any PC developer out there in terms of customer support and improving their game. This patch just shows the extent of it. Excellent job BIS.

Looks awesome! Really sad that I'm now without my PC for a whole week. :( Will definitely be one of the first things I try out when I get back!

Because we can? While I do think this is a good idea, I think that, if anything, it should be modded in, not made standard in the game. The game is already ridiculously realistic as it is, for some people.

It does indeed look like a ridiculously stupid choice for the look of your main character... Edit: Oh, lol. Just like in MW2, you're part of an "elite group". This time you're Tier 1 Operators. Edit 2: Man, everyone and their dog is cashing in on IW's mistake:

Why can't we vote Dragon Rising for worst game of 2009? It would win for sure. :(

Voted.

Merry Christmas to all. :D This time tomorrow, I shall be asleep in my cottage in Switzerland. :eek:

The island looks very impressive. Looking forward to seeing it released.

That's because the original IW staff came from the staff developing the original Medal of Honor games, HotShot. ;)

Awesome! I love it when Marek posts developer blogs. I wish he would more often, but if he's putting all that energy into making ArmA II and Arrowhead better, then I couldn't care less. :D

It's probably an issue with your fans. Simply put - make sure they're working properly, lol.

No matter how many times you say it's just PC Gamer's opinion and doesn't reflect how it should be for everyone, everyone keeps saying the list is bullshit and their version is the real one. This thread is full of lolz.

It's EA, in their typical fashion, realizing far too late that there's no more money in WWII FPSes and moving into the modern day setting only to be called a copycat of every franchise which has already successfully done so. There isn't any word other than copycat, however, to describe what they're doing. The game itself looks very "meh".

It's possible to get up there, just not climb around it. Just fiddle with setPos or even just placing yourself at different places and it will put you at different elevations. I setPos'd myself right on the tip before, and set view distance to 10km. I think I actually did that when I first got the game. Was blown away, naturally.

Well, I figured I'd give you guys an update. The first two missions, along with their cutscenes, are now finished, apart from voice work of course, and I've begun work on the third. I may release the first two missions soon for testing, so keep your eyes peeled for more updates. And here's another teaser image, just to keep you interested:

Completely the wrong section to post such a thing in. Look for the dedicated ACE thread under Addons & Mods Complete. It is not officially supported by BIS.

The one in particular that I used is called ActsPercMstpSlowWpstDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Lopotev2. That just has the shooting and walking away. It has another variant, ActsPercMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Lopotev1, which is the longer one.

In MP, sometimes the game doesn't sync with one another and causes one person to see something that the other doesn't. The one your talking about in particular, with the dead soldier standing there on your screen but not other's, has happened a few times to me. It's not a big issue, though. He is dead after all. The flag's being wrong is likely to be the fault of the mission designer, not the game. Long story short, the conventional way of switching what flag is flying is only seen locally. Most mission designers forget to make it the same across all clients. It's not an issue with the game, just the designer forgetting a bit of code. However, you can't really compare the two. The demo is far inferior to the full game patched to the latest beta patch.

With that attitude, I doubt we'll be hearing you bitch at all in the future. :rolleyes:
