I'm an OFP / Arma Player from the first hours. Here my impressions on ArmA3 Alpha and some point that need to be adjusted IMHO: Overall Impression is positive.Graphics rock! Really Impressive! Now it's time for some improvements: => Gear selection: IMHO it takes much too long to select weapons and magazines by drag and drop. Why not use the old system with double clicking or at least add some standard magazines when u choose a weapon? It's really frustrating when it takes you almost a minute until u have the gear you want with u and can move on to the battlefield! Maybe its possible to add a parameter somewhere in the options like "Gear selevtion: Old style / new Style"? For those who dont want to change their underwear in the game the old style is much better i think. => What frustrates me even more is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to shoot in a lying position from a tower or sth. like that. U are not able to get close enough to the edge so ur gun sticks out and u can properly aim and shoot downwards. What purpose do those climbable towers have when u cant shoot from there or u have to shoot standing which is a hard deal for remote targets? If u cant use the towers with a sniper rifle or machine gun, u can spare those ladders. Can't be too hard to improve that, is it? => Another Point, but maybe I'm doing something wrong here: Is zeroing not functionable in Alpha yet? I'm hitting the keys Page up / Page Down like a maniac but nothing happens! => Although some might say I'm a noob or a looser: I think the AI is too strong, especially when it comes to long distance fights. I ly in the grass with my sniper rifle and they give me hell from 400 meters away with their standard assault rifles or grenade throwers and i dont even have a chance to see where it comes from before I'm dead, even in recruit level. Maybe ist possible to tweak the AI strength a little bit between the difficulty levels, those who like it easier can play on recruit (IMHO u can spare those red marked enemies and take away some of their super hero powers instead), those wo like it hard can chose higher difficulty?

Hi everybody, i searched for this issue but wasn't able to find it: I am currently modifying Domination Lingor, OA-Version, not ACE. Did anyone else notice that, no matter what you choose on the "Only Pilots can Fly"-Parameter in the lobby, only the lead pilot ist able to fly the lift-chopper? If I get in as a "ordinary" pilot it kicks me out and says "You are not allowef to fly!" even though i can fly any other air-vehicle! Backgroudn is that I want to add another Lift-chopper (in lingor-Version there ist only one per default) and figured out how to do this (at least i think i did), but this only makes sense if several pilots or who ever can fly lift choppers simultaneously! I found out that in i_client.sqf theres a line called "d_only_pilots_can_fly" and that this array has to be left empty if you want to have anyone being able to fly. So does this mean I just have to leave the []-Brackets empty? What parameter do i have to choose on "Only Pilots can fly" then to get this working? Or what do I have to put inside the brackets? Classnames or the text (name) from mission.sqm (in case of Lingor Domination the 4 pilots are called pilot_1 to pilot_4 here)? I think I tried out all possible combinations, but none seemed to work......

Hi, is there any Warfare Mission based on this Mod? Searched for a while but wasn't able to find one......

22 Hits, no idea?? :confused: Looks like I have to reinstall.......:(

Hi, since yesterday evening I have a problem with both ArmA AND ArmA2: If I want to host a game in MP both on LAN and Internet there are no slots available in the Lobby, I can't even chose a faction. As the game slots me in automatically I can start the mission(s) and play, but no kills are counted, if I press "I" no players are shown. When I leave the mission and want to go back to the main menu the game(s) freeze completely and I have to stop them via Taskmanager. More or less by conincidence I found out that if I edit my Profile and delete the line pointing to my squad.xml everything works fine again. As soon as I have the squad.xml in my profile the problems occur again. As i wrote before the problem concerns both AmA games, the thing with the squad.xml is the same for both games. I did several restarts of my PC, nothing helped. The only thing I did yesterday was cleaning up my HDD (deleting Temporary Files). Could it be I deledet something important by error? Has anyone an idea??

I asked my Mediamarkt store yesterday, they said they will have it Friday, so I will go there and get it. Hopefully.....................cause my dad has a big surgery tomorrow.........:(

@ mr.g-c: just a small hint: there's an error in ur signature: castrophe, i think u mean catastrophe........;)

In this video the inf walking sounds like Monty Python and the Holy Grail anyway...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjZUQ-WJUmY

Can't understand al lot of that discussion about realism......when I play a game I want to have FUN in the first line! Wheter a soldier looks exactely the same as in realitiy or has the "correct" gear is secondary 2 me. What I understand in realism are the unlimited maps (not as 4 example in COD where there are artificial barriers) and the non-linear gameplay. In these respects as well OFP, ArmA and , as far as I can tell by now, ArmA 2 are setting standards, so they ARE as the advertisment tells the "most realistic military simulators". In my opinion people complaining about wrong uniforms, gears and stuff are the same which watch a movie to find some stupid errors, not just to have fun. ;)

In my opinion BI is on the best way to distract a lot of waiting fans from ArmA2 by not giving out any official information on arma2.com.........can't understand that. Now as many previews popped to the surface from which some were not very positive it's not e very clever strategy to leave the communitiy with non-official informations and all the rumors spreading around...............is it so difficult to update the official website with some reliable information? Just an example: gamestar.de made a review including a video which many people (including me) found very disappointing, concerning the behaviour of the AI in ArmA2. In that video it looks like the AI is even worse than in ArmA1! But now there's a rumor that the press release they gave out has not yet implemented the new AI..........is that a fact or just a rumor? That would be some crucial information which could be updated on the official website.......doesn't have to be a glamorous video or sth., just the info would be enough......can't understand what's the point in letting people uninformed an rumors spread around on that.......imho not a very smart strategy.

I don't know if I'm the only one thinking that way but I find it very disappointing that the official ARMA2-Website hasn't been updated with ANY Information since two weeks. All those previews are nice and good but I think BIS is on the move to feed the community with some new stuff.......... If they don't have the time to do so: Send me a preview version and I'd be glad to make a preview ingame video which they can put on their website.........;)

I think that a another big factor is the ongoing discussion about so called "killer games" which became actuall again after the latest amok-runs in USA and Germany (Winnenden). It's the easiest way for Politicians to blame it all on those games. I guess most of the newer games with any kind of violence in them will be rated 18+ abt the moment....................just to prevent a game being pointed at when a pre-mature runs amok............... In my opinion rating a game 18+ doesnt prevent ANYTHING! Drugs are forbidden => Are there no addicted people? Alcohol is forbidden under 18 => how many teens go to hospital because of drinking excessively? I even go a step further: Rating / forbidding such games makes them even more interesting to the pre-mature..........and there's always a way to get them! Btw: I'm far over 18, just if anyone cares....... ;)

Just to make it clear: I give a shi..... on 3DMark records. Just wanted to know if my Dual Core is good enough or if i may need to upgrade to quadcore. ;)
