Plenty of stuff alongside of roads so that ambushes are possible (bushes, rocks, wrecks), but not too dense so AI gets confused when trying to drive on the road. Also, the main street should not be blocked by tiny villages. Driving through a village should be possible without much hazzle for the AI (50m wide space). Either that, or place the whole village on 1 side of the road only.

Did you convince family members, friends or anybody else to buy OA / BAF although they didnt plan to further extent their ArmA2 experience? I know i have. My brother knows owns OA and BAF. :D

Interesting, i just read about WICT for the 1st time. Dunno why i missed this, maybe WICT is the wrong name for such a great concept? ;) Anyway, gonna have to try it out when i'm home. One question: why doing it via FSMs ? Performance related?

... and thats a problem of ArmA2? Who's using a joystick to control an infantry man, anyway? Sounds a lot like an unstable system OS if you ask me. HD or Ram related. Maybe you OC ur pc too much? Yes, you have, you're running Vista after all. We usually tell 'newcomers' to hold their horses, describe their problems with all details rather then just trolling and then, after everything has cooled down, show them where to download the latest ArmA2 patches. You should first solve ur system problems before trying to enjoy ArmA2's gameplay. If my PC would crash every so often i usually find it hard to have ANY fun with ANY game. .... or maybe the others are right, this 'babyish' game isnt for you. We fans seem to be young at heart (having fun does that to ppl) whereas you Sir, are clearly a very old, bitter guy. Plz leave us alone with our game and move on.

I guess he bought it for his whole ArmA2 clan... ;) Who would print out fake covers just so he can make a movie? Makes no sense.

Yup. I almost killed my own guys because i fired over an enemy village rather than into it lol.

If you installed it on ur online pc you'll find a BAF folder underneath ArmA2's main folder. You could try copy it over to your other pc. And edit ur ArmA2 link so it uses BAF as a modfolder.

Can u provide screenies with a British and American unit side by side?

Rip31st: all videos in OP dont work anymore, except the vid from mr sarkey :(

+1 for Jungle Environments, but i dont care what time period. Could be Vietnam, Southamerica, African jungle or Malaysia. Customized AI for realistic jungle combat is a must for this. I'd pay 20 Eur for it

Hey guys, finally took the time to redo all my controls in ArmA2: OA. I was wondering: is there a way to lock a target in the crosshairs directly without zooming in? (it says: LOCK OR ZOOM) Switching targets via TAB isnt my cup of tea, esp when you fly over a hilltop and have 10 targets in sight. Good luck targetting the shilka in 3 secs. :) Any other control-combinations (2 or more on 1 key) you guys came over? What makes sense for quicker reactions?

Yup. If you'd want to try the impossible and plz everyone with your soundmod you'd need at least 6 versions imo: 1. Short cracks, short echo 2. Short cracks & big punches, sim shock effect when firing, short echo 3. Long shots, movie style, short echo 4. 5. ... same with long echos 6. Good luck :)

Ah i see. Yeah, sounds like a good idea.

Woah, me votes for ArmA2 video of the month. :D Cant believe how real it looks, you must've studied endless RL videos for getting it right. Plz release release release.

Why not setting it to 0%? You cant aim while walking and good enough when standing - if you're not out of breath that is.

Did you receive a keycode for installing BAF from GG? Or can you find a keycode in your online account @ GG?

I actually heard somebody in game chat seeing it differently: the BAF lite was so bad and annoying that he said he won't spend 9 Eur to get better skins. Can't argue with this kind of ppl, i mean cmon the BAF lite is obviously just an appetizer and not meant to please ppl. And in case one really hates playing with brits and/or british sounds, there's always the option to just leave the server. [Edit] Mmmh it just hit me that the hole BAF lite issue some ppl have (hating to spend 9 Eur, but also hate to play with BAF lite units) could easily be solved with a replacement config (all BAF lite units replaced with normal OA units). What would happen if one would release this on these forums? Public outcry? Official ban? I'm not planning to do it, just curious.

What are modular soundmods good for if 99% of server admins dont allow the keys for the modules? I love soundmods but stay away mostly because i cant play online with them. And constantly switching between a soundmodded SP and MP with vanilla sound is getting on me nerves. :P

Desert tiger would be cool. A translator guy would indeed be great to boost the atmosphere in missions.

One tick from off also. I'm all about immersion but any more than 5% makes every rock in the distance looking like a crouched taliban lol. I guess all the ppl that miss even the closest enemies in MP COOP have full postprocessing on and maximum head bob - now i know why. ;)

I stopped read reviews in full detail a while ago. Also, i'm not impressed by trailers of any kind. In fact, the more hype i hear about a game beforehand and the more trailers i see the more i get the feeling the game itself is lacking gameplay. What i do when i'm interested in a game: 1. I look at screenshots 2. I try to search for gameplay videos 3. Only then i try to find features in a review, just facts, no long stories.

Haha, so true. Guess what will happen? We will become angry about ArmA3's modding tools even before its released. :D

Sorry walker but this is personal taste, isnt it? The moment you introduce number of players as a default order n00bies will complain 'MP servers being sooooo laggy' because they only see red ping numbers like 150+.

I placed some british units to take a look at them - i used the groups (F2) menu in editor on Takistan island. After wandering about i decided to throw an IR strobe. Bad mistake. 1 group decided that an IR strobe is a real pain in the bum and opened fire on the strobe. They didnt even hesistate to shoot down me (almost) or their own men. British humour i guess. :D

Nice! Somebody has this on a server somewhere yet? :)
