This kind of feedback doesn't make much sense in ArmA2. Once you're shot there's a big 'DEAD' menu appearing and the mission is over anyway.

Maybe they were in combat mode? If you're the leader try to command them to use the 'safe behaviour'. (command menu ~ - 8 - 3 if i remember correctly)

Just make sure you install the 1.52 patch and that the drive you installed it on is defragmented.

Not a problem with Amazon.de either. Lol - the UK import is 10 EUR cheaper than the german version - uhm... ?!?! :P

The free to roam islands and the feeling i'm not superman so i can die any second. :)

Wow, its ok now. Thank god :)

10 sec for a page, normal would be 2-3 secs. :P Plz dont let it die before the OA patch is out! ;)

Imo the biggest marketing booster is the scenerio depicted in a game. In simulators ppl want realistic sceneries with realistic campaigns. I know many old OPFers who are ready to jump in on the train with ArmA2:OA simply because the guerilla conflicts in an Afghanistan-like country reminds them of the news footages going on recently. If you watched one of those 'Ross Kemp in Afghanistan' DVDs, you will want to play ArmA2:OA. Sahrani / Chernarus weren't realistic enough, its that simply. BIS made a smart choice using Takistan.

Have you thought it through? What should happen if a plr doesnt eat or sleep? What if he just eats but never sleeps? What if he gets hungry in the middle of battle? Imo if you as a mission designer force something on a player you also should give him something important in return. What does your gameplay mod provide to the player that he doesn't already have?

If its not in Steam yet buy it from Amazon. Lots of videos can be found, not just 'some pics'.

Nice review, surprisingly unbiased. Well done :)

With XPadder you can set any trigger to behave as a simple button / key on keyboard. Like Warfighter1021 already mentioned.

You could use a replacement config to make it look like its another faction. Ok, doesnt work in case of Taliban lol, all they do is hiding in mountains and planting bombs at night -> boring gameplay. I agree though unique campaigns for unique armies would be cool, with unique mission objectives that go along in a realistic way.

+ custom Evolution mission = EPIC

What i'd love to see would not be AI skill values being used, but make AI groups use random scripted tactics. Both AI groups would use the same set of tactics, but randomly. Tactics for both teams would be traced and a winner would be recorded. It could lead to precise information whether tactics really work and/or make a difference in ArmA2 AI wars. Tactics could be: 1. Bait Group A builds (spawns) entrenched positions and sends a small group of troublemakers ahead. Those get the attention of Group B and then retreat. Entrenched Group A opens fire on advancing Group B. 2. Split & Flank Group A splits up into 3 large subgroups and tries to surround Group B. 3. Indirect radius damage A Group uses hidden spotters and mortars instead of advancing towards enemy. 4. Trapped retreat Group sets up a minefield and tries to draw the enemy into it. 5. ??? Just an idea.

Mod of the year 2010 guys, this is what ArmA2 really needed. Thx so much. :)

<img src="...... <img image='...... You sure about your syntax?

Tried to lock the vehicle?

Everything sounds pretty dry, no echos whatsoever. One could argue that echos in RL are dependant on the surroundings and we can't have this dynamic in A2, but i think adding just a bit wouldn't hurt much and gives a much better atmosphere.

Ice, that last screenshot prooves it: this is the most creative project for A2 right now, simply awesome. Can't wait to test :) Random thoughts outa my head: - the AI isn't fast enough to challenge a human plr in a car, so what other challenges are there for COOP? - if shot upon, the plr needs to be able to retreat and repair his car somewhere, how you do that? garages? repair-shops? - if buildings are important things ingame (next to the cars) maybe a capture-and-hold gameplay would be good idea for the coop mode. important buildings (giving you repairs & fuel) are guarded by gangs and players need to work together to free them. - if fuel is an important factor here maybe script the cars in a way that they will run out of fuel pretty fast. that way players would need to capture enemy buildings rather quickly or turn back before their fuel runs out. Should make for interesting gameplay. My x cents :)

Why not play poker instead? Or have shooting gallery training back at the base? I like the idea though.

Sounds great. :)

I remember i put GLs into different positions in vehicles to get dead bodies out. Dead drivers could not be deleted via spawnscripts, so it was a great trick to just 'push' them out via a GL. :)

Did you even noticed my post? Followed the link? Sorry, but your posts (welcome to the forum btw) give me the feeling that you 1. don't know much about scripting for ArmA1 (it is ArmA1 you want to do this for right?) 2. can't be arsed to read tutorials / BIS wiki 3. expect other users who learned scripting in weeks/months to sacrifice their sparetime to deal with your concept If i got the wrong impression plz accept my apologies. You see i know Formula1 cars can be incredibly fast and it's fun to watch them on TV. And now supppose some ppl would hand me all the working parts to construct a F1 car. Now the problem is that although i know exactly how a finished F1 car would look like and what it's supposed to do there's no way on Earth i could accomplish this task simply because i'd have no idea what part goes where and how it all works together. I don't have the knowledge. That's exactly like what you're trying here i guess. So plz take a deep breath, read the tutorials other ppl have written down to help beginners and then take the first test steps. If you have problems getting your first test script to run, post it and ask. You'll get help and eventually your script will work. But plz don't expect ppl to write whole scripts for you and also tell you how to run them etc etc. Even if we can answer your first 10 questions there'll be 100 more until you make it work. Ppl simply dont have the time. :) Again, welcome to the forums.
