Personally Im not a fan of the fast travel/MHQ, never had problems without it. At least with heli transprt people land in groups and have the option of staying together, on games ive played with MHQ people seem to respawn in dribs and drabs and go in on their own. The only thing I really like about it is that its nice to be able to quickly escape team killers at base :).

It is odd that the tutorial runs you through armour and heli/plane flight, very little of which will be required in the sp campaign. I spose we could get lucky and get expansions based on an armored or air campaign, infact I'd love it if that were the case :D.

I had the extraction heli shot down on my first attempt. Next time I cleared the camps in the area before I picked the prisoner up and the heli made it in, we came under fire from a lone RPG soldier but he didnt last long.

I found him parked up in a white pickup at the side of the road in Gvozdino. My only remaining objective is to find the insurgent camps. I think Ive found four of them but Cooper wont call them in so i dont think it has taken into account those Ive found :confused:. Edit Yessss! finally did it without resorting to using end mission. Took me many tries and i'd say I spent more time on this one mission than it took me to completely finish the last call of duty game! Have to say despite the bugs I absolutely loved this mission, the sandbox approach to letting the player tackle objectives and choose how to get around is just superb. If there is an expansion I really hope they include missions similar to this one.

Ahhh boohoo the game wasnt exactly what he was expecting! that really is a crying shame. And did your friend actually refers to that as a review? you should tell him that a review should be unbiased and assess both the positive and negative aspects of its subject. Anyway maybe next time you could suggest he writes his views down on a piece of paper, rolls it up nice and tight and then jams it up his arse?

Really hope the game continues to sell well, obviously more sales gives us more chance of expansions/sequels etc. Hopefully it will remind some of the devs/publishers out there that there is still a market for proper PC games like Arma 2, you know, games that reward the time and effort the player puts into them. Long live BI! :)

Just so you know, haivng the ability to string sentences together does not necessarily make one 'gay'. And thank you for your insightful comments :rolleyes:.

From what Ive seen of the Flaspoint 2 vids theres little to no point in comparing the two games. I loved the original OpFlash, loved Arma and so far Im really enjoying Arma 2. Im willing to give Flashpoint 2 a look but I wont be expecting any realism from it after seeing the vid where the player is shot IN THE HEAD but is able to wirte it off as being nothing serious and patch himself up. With that and the rest of the vids to go on im expecting more of an open world Call of Duty style experience, I dont for one minute think it will be bad, just different in an arcadey/accessible way. I just wish they hadnt taken the Flashpoint name for a game that bears so little resemblence to my favourite PC game of all time.

Got lucky with this mission on my last attempt. Drove straight to the power station with no sign of either suspect then called in heli transport to the Quarry. Killed three or four guys at the quarry then one of my squad said that there was noone there. Next thing I know Cooper is shouting at Bardak to freeze and calling in a transport to get rid of him and the mission is successfully completed with only one objective fulfilled :confused:.

If Im honest then yes I am a little let down by the campaign, warfare missions really arent what I wanted from this game. Wasnt keen on the four man squad dynamic either, at times it almost felt more like Ghost Recon than OpFlash/Arma with small scale skirmishes instead of all out war. Bit let down with the length of the campaign/number of scenario missions as well. Having said all that I am really enjoying the game and absolutely love the sandbox type (Razor Two/Manhattan) missions. Having a great time with the MP game as well :).

I found her in Kranostav, wasnt evem looking for her at the time. I was driving though the town from east to west and spotted her Golf parked by a billboard sign at the side of the road and she was a few feet away. Took her to the marked LZ though and the chopper coming for her was shot down, wasnt given updated instructions and Im not sure what to do with her now :confused:.

Had some great games on the Silent Warriors Evo server, will definately give the Arma 2 server a look :).
