There are plenty of vanilla servers going, however, the suggestions for an improved server browser that tells you such things have been made already, hell half the people don't get so far as to try MP before they uninstall.

What do the numbers of ACE servers have to do with anything? Is BIS responsible now for what every player might potentially choose to do with their servers? There are a lot of non ACE servers as well and given the ever changing state of ACE and the different versions running on many servers how do you propose they deal with that? It doesn't need polishing, because it isn't an official part of the game and like I said, if people can't handle the vanilla game, they have no hope of coping with mods.

It isn't a problem with the game itself when dealing with user mode content. Sure, we can ask for them to add features like that but that is saying "Hmm, it would be nice to have x features in this game." not saying "Hmm, this game is broken and too hard because there isn't a way to deal with user made mods". Most people never get to the point of wanting to use mods and so it is rather irrelevant to the question of why it is not popular.

The short answer is yes, messing about with mods has nothing to do with the vanilla game. If a person has searched and doesn't understand the process, they should ask for help. Some mods/addons are simple,plug and play, and some require modules, sqf editing or other things. Has nothing to do with BIS. ---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ---------- LOL that's got to do with server rules made by the individuals hosting, nothing to do with the mods, and stuff being missing is a result of having different versions of whatever mod being used by the server.

Talking about the breathing? lol yea ---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ---------- I declined to vote because this poll is flawed and the OP used a video highlighting poorly placed colliders/Geo LODs as an example of infantry movement.

forget the tools, six updater was designed to help with the beta run of ACE so folks wouldn't have to download 2Gb every other day, a milestone version will be released soon. Yoma is great but it is not needed, you only need to know how custom mod folders work to install the majority of mods and it is pretty simple, send a pm if you need help.

Are you thinking about Metal Storm?

Glad it is working for you, I personally didn't have those problems.

You also said "for some people", meaning there's a few who feel that way, not the majority.

Again, the issue is the point of aim returning to zero, my view doesn't change when I fire or get smacked in the shoulder, your body naturally compensates for this, you are still looking at exactly what you want to look at. Side note: You must have missed the ' ' around his statement, meaning un-aimed shots, he didn't mean literally from the hip.

Simply having a toggle key to turn it on/off would be nice.

Interesting perspective, so the command interface is too complicated, except that you clarify in saying you have too many options, this point confuses me since you can choose not to bother with any of them. So either the interface is poor because you like having fewer choices or is it the way that you access those choices which is giving you the problems? Getting AI into vehicles is quite simple, it takes 2 key presses, but I can quite understand the frustration with getting them into buildings and watching them drive, the pathing is either poorly aligned or the AI is having issues when presented with multiple choices, likely a combination of both but I guess it is a consequence of having actual AI rather than scripted bots. Can't say much about the missions as I completely agree, but I do disagree with you about online play. You can choose to coop or to pvp, there are servers for both, which game modes others choose to play needn't concern you, everybody wants something different. Mods are mostly client side, so downloading from servers would be pointless and potentially dangerous for your pc, not to mention the effects on server performance and that people don't want to connect and find themselves downloading a 2Gb mod, simply changing the server browser to show mods running on a server would be a great help. BIS including a launcher has been mentioned before and I think most if not all agree with that point, it doesn't make sense for a game so dependent on community mods not to include a mod launcher as part of the product. ---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ---------- Really? have you been ostracized for being new to the community? I know that I haven't. Most newcomers I see get blasted are those that made forum accounts to bash mission/mod makers or to troll every thread to say how bad the game is but are not here to ask for help or to contribute to the community.

and if you have Steam, you have one as well in the tools tab

Looks fantastic, great idea.

Probably not. ---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ---------- I agree about the bugs, well, at release at least. The rest can be summed up as people coming to this game for something different while expecting it to be the same as the games they are used to, go figure. You can't come to a game based upon realism and be put off that it doesn't work like an arcade game. If I put up a mission called Police Call on my ultra realism server, whose fault is it if people are disappointed that they find themselves picking up trash in a parking lot and not playing cops and robbers?

They give us the tools and don't try to force us into playing or modding in any particular way.

Dude, if that's your idea of abusive language, your life must be really hard.

Way to dump on a guy after his first post and trying to install a mod makes a mistake.

Not wanting to use SBSMAC's minefield script? Also, you could probably use a trigger to make it happen.

Time zone matters, ping matters..... Not rude and it isn't 'not true' and for the record, saying someone only does one thing extremely well, doesn't imply they they absolutely suck ass at everything else.

You are running with a I7, you shouldn't take much of a hit unless you have a bottleneck elsewhere.

The 'big crosshair' is just an indicator of how steady you are, e.g. is gets wider when you are fatigued or injured, giving you a visual indicator of your general stability. The center line is the point of aim and the one that is most relevant to this topic.

Where do you live?---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ---------- The only thing that BIS does extremely well is to stay the hell out of our way and let us make what we want to out of the game. That counts for a lot given the way most game companies want to micro manage their customers, but it isn't enough to make them 'popular'

Have you seen the campaign? here's a reason they have left all of the mission making up to us :p

There were also some awesome mods for it too.
