    Few questions to devs.

    Your biggest mistake is thinking you have significant knowledge about how software works and how a game should perform given its features and content. Your questions demonstrate otherwise and your attitude, rather harsh and insulting. It is good to be skeptical, I understand that, I've been burned a time or two, even after the community convinced me the game that I was buying was great. However, you need to be mature about it or be ignored as a troll. ArmA 2 is unique. There are people that think it is another FPS like COD and others that expect it to be an in depth sim like DCS-Blackshark and both groups are disappointed because this game strives to give you the full experience without being too complicated or being a simple arcade game. The engine also allows for nearly no boundaries on customization. All of that comes at a cost. A lot of people have issues with performance because they have unrealistic expectations as well as refusing to believe that issues are not on their end. Most have always played the same type of games and thus do not have experience with how different game engines can behave differently on their computers. Just because a manufacturer puts out a new driver does not mean that the driver is good or works well with all games. Sometimes older drivers work better, sometimes people fail to realize conflicts or limitations on their systems that result in poor performance. This is not to defend BIS where their product is lacking but to point out that you cannot have a system that is perfectly compatible with every game or more accurately, every game cannot be compatible with every system. Other developers try to hide issues with their products while BIS tries to take on those issues and improve their product while also allowing for a wealth of information for current and potential customers to decide if they can run this on their systems or how to fix any issues that they might have. You will see these threads here because they do not lock, delete or ban in order to keep everything positive on their forums.

    I want to support BI even more

    The Carrier Command plants are the same as ArmA 2

    One thing that really bothers me

    Barack Obama would call this a teaching moment.
  4. WOW I've never seen it like that.

    Well Meanstreak you have your answer. If you lose your spot, find a new game to play.

    Female Soldier [Feature request to BIS]

    I don't think we spend enough time on base in game to make use of these female soldiers being implemented. :)
  7. I see what you mean, I have to say I have seen that once or twice but it wasn't necessarily in the crouch and it has never been a problem for me. I play crouched quite often as it is the best stance to use in a tactical sense. I even tested on Utes after your last post and didn't really see a problem. There must be something else involved with this issue other than just the stance.
  8. Maybe because a lot of veterans play this game and have no desire to relive the worst parts of being a soldier.
  9. That's only relevant when choosing hardware.
  10. Did you really just post airsoft experiences as a basis for your logic? Also, nowhere did I defend the game's bugs (mentioned bugs in the first or second reply to you), dead men should not be able to tell their team mates where you are. Given your response and emotional state, I think it would have been better if you were 14. ---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ---------- I think this may be an issue with reveal, notice how often times you will spot enemy but your team mates never know about them?
  11. Talk to any game designer and you will find that you are wrong. Many threads are co-dependent and cannot afford any delay between them even though on the surface they appear to be unrelated. If the threads cannot be rejoined at the precise moment they are needed, the game will crash.
  12. I notice the movement but personally can't see any misalignment. I do find it odd that it would sway more crouched than standing. Don't forget to hold your breath.
  13. Yes I know when I was in Iraq, the cars would fly hundreds of meters into the sky when a bomb hit :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I've heard that the Romans used that line while filling the seats of the Coliseum.
  15. Seems to me that some people's idea of stealth is stomping through the brsh like an elephant in a china shop.
  16. Must mean for people with inner ear problems.
  17. Abrams is a bit overpowered I think, watch them get pummeled by rockets and T-90s and decimate the opfor afterward. Doesn't always happen that way but 9x out of 10. Could just be perspective though as I seem to die quite readily in them. ---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ---------- It wasn't overpowered at all. There were a few bugs regarding certain situations but honestly, it was much better to start, it felt like a challenge even if you already knew their positions from the start.

    Rejoining server as opposite side

    Why are people hanging out at the base anyway? IIRC you can relocate as well. The real problem I see with this kind of thinking is the assumption that someone could not find the base on their own (though I'm sure some tards will side switch to kill you). Honestly the reaction is just as childish as the behavior that provokes it. Better to kick those that commit the offense rather than just anyone that happens to switch sides for whatever reason.

    Arma2 on Mobile Broadband?

    This is true, I've noticed that some players may have a low ping but they are sucking up major bandwidth. People need to realize that ping is just the speed of the connection between player and server. If someone is sucking up the server's bandwidth it reduces the bandwidth available to update other players and packets will bottleneck.
  20. Add artillery ammo, it will give the user a surprise :D

    Domiation AI WEST Wreck suggestion

    Have to agree, it gets to be tedious trying to cleanup after the wunderkind destroy a server and many times an admin is not available to reset.

    My comment was intentionally ambiguous because I am unsure whether his comments are facetious or they reflect his world view (making him ignorant). And I really don't have a desire to make this thread political and off topic. If anything though it easily provides amusement at the thought that someone with that kind of world view would be playing war games.

    Oh I get it!......

    Someone could make a Santa mod. Have a sleigh addon and the goal is dropping gifts like GBUs that make the opfor friendly.
