the shoebox maps are shit, they are worse than CS. CS is acually a pretty tactical game but way way way too arcade. I want to see 2 flag placed in a big city, add light vehicles and weapons. Now theres a good CQB map. (some objects on it wouldnt hurt). I have a very instressted idea why people rather play these shoebox maps instead of realistic CQB made ones. But im afride to step on toes so i wont

Its funny how people who only know how to kill Ais try to tell others how acually play the game. Errr whats the realism in that (read my sign). Im a fan of COOP, you will find me on SES server (im the funny guy). Yet i like to do some urban fighting but arma anims have changed that. Now everyone sits on their asses leaning at everycorner. Yes, talk about realism, talk about anything really. How should an attack squad of 5 guys be able to move in fast and clean sweap the map if they stand no chance against these defenders. Well I guess (we do it realisitc) and find ourselves a corner and do some leaning right back at them. Dont ever call Fast movement abillities for rambo style or CS game because that is just showing how big of newbies your are. ArmA acually do have very big cities, but the gameplay for it hasnt been developed. So lets takes hands and pray for that we all find a solution to go along with!!! when playing against human players you have to think like a human. When playing against Ais, well you can watch tv, eat icecream and get a blowjob and still preform on an averge level Come play some real gaming!!!!

most coops ive played in ArmA have been the standard. You start here, there are 50 soldiers here. Kill em all then extract here. Those missions aint very reaslitic. Mission should be more fire fights rather then clearing out a town in 5 minutes. I like the 30 air cavalry map where its more wide options of gameplay. Missions should be able to end as a retreat aswell. Very few attacks are made in one attempt. Its fought over days. If you know any good maps please post them here or give me a link.

we got a couple of guys going there from OW aswell!

This reminds me of the times when you enter a vehicle and just as you pressed enter. You see a guy spawn (BF1985 Maps) infront of you and theres nothing you can do when he shoots you trying get into the tank. Its not too common but it does happen. I guess its more too it than just easy break commands

No. ok, thanks!

Will be perfect to have it by the next patch sometime in mid january along with a new comp. Hell, we waited 5Ë years, im sure we can give it another month Just make sure to bring those old guns out on the field Ill try to do the same

So the idea of hitting a tank is to hit it once, and run away? Why? First of all you will give away your position (he will know what side you hit him on). 2nd, you will give him enough time get in safty or start heating up the area. Even if you manage to survive that, you still need to take the tank out which will be very hard since he knows where to look. Im talking big boys tanks now and not some small bmps Ofcourse you fire and get behind cover when you only need 1 rpg but as soon you see that m1a1 comming down the hill, you hit 2 quick ones on his turret and disables him. That is if your a good shooter. Im just saying that it would be good if it was possible to abort reloads because like i said, i always end up dead when he starts firing at me and i cant do nothing about it since im stuck.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">; Select the Unit _unit = _this select 0 ;-Delay the delete after death ~120 ; delete the unit deletevehicle _unit exit Or something like that.

there is a old system made by Terox for OFP. Isnt that working? Mainly since all OFP players are used to it. ctf_25_mapname, its easy and good.

I hope its the booze talking

400-500 is what i heard. (each night)

I made a list from OFP events over at OW http://www.onlinewarfare.net/forum....count=1 Hopefully it will be accurate once teams get back into ArmA!

They cant be that bad. I hope its not like in OFP when you hit the reload button after shooting a tank and it starts lighting you up. Your stuck for 10s with the same reload animation. No time to get behind cover so i guess it could be a good thing the times are faster in ArmA.

is there no work around on this issue? Cant i have directx 8.0 installed and run arma on that? Or run it in a window with directx functions turned off etc.

There is a reason why 505 is releasing the game In Feb. The game isnt ready, Bis launched it in CZ and let their CZ friends help out beta testing just like OFP. The Germans were smart (dumb) enough to release the game too soon. Hell they just wanted the money quick, they dont care if BIS have to work their asses off working 24/7 with patches. By the time 505ers get their game ArmA will be what it we all expected it to be. You guys are still playing the beta, if BIS didnt sign the papers with German companies they would avoided this flaming on them. Cain - A Dedicated OFP player in his wait on ArmA!

They havnt got the game yet...

Scripting good Ais are really hard, I think we should be happy with what we got. Hopefully it will be improved to february

6-7 UK guys in DK has the copy, some others in EU and US aswell. Too bad some cant get it to run "smooth" so theres few who can acually play on the DK server

Im a big movie fan of effects and supernatural stuff. (Movies such as Superman, The final countdown, Screamers and X-Men) My question is now are stuff like these possible to create using OFP engine and some basic modelling and scriping abillities? #Create a flying Civ #Create a civ which can travell at greater speeds (use setacctime to make it go in normal speed and slowmotion for others) #Creates civs who can controll objects (change altitude of objectes near them) #Super jumps #Create screamers who travel underground in ofp and jumps up attacking you #Abbilities to create a tournado #Shoot away firewalls. #Blow away objects (like dropping a LBS bomb effect but it dosnt destory the objects, just move them) The list is long of what stuff could be made out from the movie world. People might think, for what reason? Imagine playing a coop 2am a friday night. Your leading a task force with the objective to huntdown and kill a unknown animal of some sort. (warewolf, alien vs predator kind etc). Try to kill someone that is 5 times fater, can jump and hide and will require 100 bullet to bring down. Hunting that thing will require skill, skill and skill. Or what about a mission where you can run faster than a bullet and Lift tanks to throw them away a couple of 100 feet! Bascially use x-men abillties in ofp, freeze people with disable user input. Ability to walk through objects or have healing abillities. These are 8 year olds thoughts in a big mans body, but It would be something real intresting. I know that some of these stuff are possible, but what about the rest? You think this could acually work?

3 movies in 1 = OW Frag Team movie http://www.onlinewarfare.net/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=94 its beta and just for fun, Damn wree gonna kick holy companys ass!!!

it works

I 4th that And i agree on the answers regarding other games out there. Bis and a few others dont seem to be controlled by the $ in making a game. They are bunch of good buys doing what they love. That reflects in their game and in its players. This game has a higher skill of gamers than any other in the world. Here most of the guys have donearmy services, fought all around the world and if we put together a BIS Army, hell i think we could take on Bush Bis have created this sandbox, big enough for all of us to fit in. I thank them for that. I honsetly hope that ArmA wont be a huge seller. Here I see a community weld together by real war memories and stories rather than people playing the game trying to own eachother. To Bis Players! The Greatest Players on Earth!

Official Statement from Online Warfare commanders We at OnlineWarfare wish to reaffirm our position as representing the best that Flashpoint and Armed Assault have to offer. We call upon the OW'an to justify our challenge - OnlineWarfare strictly condemns player extremism and the use of spam against innocent users. There is no justification in OnlineWarfare for this form of terrorism. Targeting users life and sanity through suicide spaming or any other method of attack is forbidden - and those who commit these barbaric acts are criminals, not "martyrs."

(OW'an, 5:32) Prophet Warfareammad said there is no excuse for committing unjust acts: "Do not be people without minds of your own, saying that if others treat you well you will treat them well, and that if they do wrong you will do wrong to them. Instead, accustom yourselves to do good if people do good and not to do wrong (even) if they do evil." (OW-Wirmidhi) OnlineWarfare mandates moderation in faith and in all aspects of life when He states in the OW'an: "We made you to be a community of the middle way, so that (with the example of your lives) you might bear witness to the truth before all mankind." (OW'an, 2:143) In another verse, OnlineWarfare explains our duties as human beings when he says: "Let there arise from among you a band of people who invite to righteousness, and enjoin good and forbid evil."

Official Statement from Armed Assualt commanders My fellow citizents of ArmedAssault.eu! Last night we recieved an officially note from the infidels, http://www.OnlineWarfare.net (OW). These liars have declared a Fatwa on our holy institution of ArmedAssault.eu. Luckily, our great leaders and members have formed together a unit that stands guard. As of now, we are in a war situation against OW. Fear not, my friends - these infidels isn't known as much of their fighting and tactical skills as much as their incredible lousy drinking-habits. It is even a known fact that the leader of OW doesn't like beer (!!. This will, however, be a test of our ability to mobilize our unit in a hurry, and to show these animals that the nation and community of armedassault.eu strike back, and they strike back hard! We are in a rush, though, since the enemy is already on it's way, we will have to initiate the first defence using our old machinery - the package also known as Operation Flashpoint. The good news is, that the enemy also have this outdated machinery at hand. After the initial fighting, we will be recieving our new battle-gear known as Armed Assault, or simply ArmA. The battlegroup that will defend the honor of ArmedAssault.eu is from now on known as 'Holy Company' (HC). We already have leaders in the team, Bence and VanStone, but due to the unforseen and terrible act of this attack from OW, I will help with infantry training. Why You might wonder why this anger? Why this hate?? Well my friends... My words can not describe how we feel. I simple have to show you and its not as pretty sight.... We tried to find it in our hearts but forgivness had left us. Its nothing left other than steel and blood, but its the very same steel that helped victor defeat the russians, and the blood of brothers. Mixed together its more leathal than TNT. The Rally Brave soldiers, we all been fighting for 5 years now, we have grow tired of killing. We spilled enough blood on the fields of Everon. But youre not done yet, this is your final call, your call to arms. Can you still hold your gun? Then join up the side you desire. There sounds of enemy artillery are already keeping us up at night. Their bomb planes are levelling our homes. We have to fight until the last breaths from our inherited bodies have been taken. Now which side is yours? Online Warfare Frag Team or Holy Company? BE AVISED, ADMINS, MODS AND OTHER PEOPLE FROM THE ARMY OF UN, DONT PUT ANY SANCTIONS ON US. THIS IS A FIGHT WE WILL FIGHT ON OUR OWN. DO NOT INTERVENE OR WE WILL TURN AGAINST YOU

i find OFP flying Realisitc. I havnt flown a plane in real life but i guess im not alone. Maybe a real pilot could share their thoughts? Its really hard to fly a plane in OFP, if you dive to drop some bombs and try to pull out of you barley make it. Other Flight Sims you can dive down, make 10 spinns, drop a bomb and then go vertical in like 2 seconds. A plane like that in OFP would own everything. Kinda like In BF42. So i dont think it would be realistic using that. Some planes are made to be air fighters, others to be tactical bombers. The tactical bombers do not have the same quick turning abillity as other planes. So hopefully OFP air planes will be air support only, strike out Convoys, tanks and bomb areas.
