Thanks to the Cold War Rearmed team.;) You made a great mod ! I have played through the Cold War Crisis campaign and I enjoyed a lot. it's impressive. The feeling and atmosphere is intact. I also used Group link 3 and I enjoyed a lot the mission "Pathfinder" with enhanced AI ! I have a Core 2, GEforce 8800 GT, 3 giga ram. The MOD is very well programmed and I do not have any issue. It runs fast and fluid! :)

Feminist ! :bounce3: :bounce3: We say in Italy "Women at drive, costant danger! "

Very good. I like positive comments on Arma 2 :)

mmmm.. I do not believe XBox people would be tolerant with the SP campaign "Harvest Red", which was programmed by crazy people.:). Too many show stoppers, even if the design and ideas are really great. Well, concerning multiplayer human and AI bots together, could be interesting. But I remain a "PC man". ;)

Who is Arrowhead SP campaign designer and programmer? The same as ArmA 2? My dear. I hope they will not repeat the bugged campaign Harvest Red. Great game design, but unfortunately bad implementation. (need a lot of patches and still you see in forums people who have big problems). I would have preferred BIS continue to fix ArmA 2, and maybe produce an expansion for ArmA 2-Chernarus, not a new island "stand-alone" Takistan.

I think XBoX 360 team played the PC Version of Arma 2 and concluded that the game is too much complex, hardware intensive, bugged. Therefore no release (soon) for Console. How can you play ArmA 2 with a pad? :raisebrow:

My dear...:butbut: A lot of reasoning. ArmA 2 seems a puzzle game sometimes...

Thanks for the tips. I'll try to complete the mission the next time! :)

Black forest: I accepted NAPA mission to attack stary sobor (and call reinforcements 0-0-8). 1) I decided first to go the Middle outpost to sleep and start the attack with NAPA the next day on daylight: well after the cutscene of the sleeping, the objective "capture the HQ in Stary Sobor" was signed as "failed".Is it correct? 2) So I went to Middle outopost to "take breakfast": nothing happened for 5 minutes (no text file, no" objective done"). Is it correct or is it a bug? 3) Performance: The graphics engine and fps are oscillating, it is not fluid as standard BIS Missions. Could be the AI load, some scripts loading. Just check to get more stable fps, as also others suggested. Bye Alex P.S.: great great mission atmosphere....night, fires in the trenches...good!

Good to know that.:) By the way, as you confirm, the mission is sometimes bugged.

....and Hearts of Iron 3 too...:) ArmA 2 (patch 1.04) has still significant performance bugs (vegetation popping up continuosly, frame rate up and down....). Far Cry 2 does not have these bugs: an example of good production (technically speaking). Playing ArmA 2 with the actual graphic engine has annoyed me definetely. And I am a loyal BIS fan since 2003. At present, I will not suggest to buy ArmA 2 to my friends or in the forums. I've done it in the past months, but not anymore. I'm really bored by ArmA 2 defective production: very low production quality.

How did you reach the island in the south, to capture Lopotev? :confused: There is no boat in the harbour in front of the island. :rolleyes: I tried to reach the island with the amphibious vehicle, but it is very complicated.....and booooring. :D

I suggest to improve the interface for "Warfare" & "High Command" game type. :) An example: it is used actually in a war game "WW II:General Commander". I like the concept. It could be useful for the warfare high-command in ArmA II. Link: http://www.stragames.com/gc/

To be honest, just one warfare mission (es: Badlands) could be ok. But two nooooooo....too much..... :D The last one, Dogs of war is incredibily long and meaningless. Why no boat near the island where Lopotev is? :rolleyes: It is very complex and meaningless to approach the island with amphibious tank.

explain better please, I'm curious...:)

Have you already entered the car? One of Razor Team must stay in the back of the car (where you put baggage).

Installed patch 1.04 yesterday. Now I have better performance.The gameplay is fluid: - FPS level and stability (min 25, average 35, max 55). -FPS increase (+10%-15%) My PC: Intel Core 2 E6750, @2.900 Ram 2 giga 800 Mhz GeForce 8800 @630 My ArmA 2 settings (main): -Forced from Nvidia driver maximum AA (16Q) and anisotropic (8x), best quality, triple bufferring (this impacts the quality in-game, mainly very sharp textures !) - LCD 17", 1024 x 768, 3d resolution (1280x1024, + 125%) - view distance 1.500 mt (I play mainly ground forces, so I do not need further distance) - Shadows very high, post-processing and antialiasing disabled. - anisotropic normal (i put it, even if I forced from the Nvdia driver, it does not affect FPS) All in all, I'm happy with the patch 1.04.:)

I look at a primary forum in Italy, the section dedicated to ArmA 2 (more than 1.000 posts only for ArmA 2). Well a wide majority of people who played the SP campaign (approx all the people) complained for the low quality production of the SP campaign. The typical sentence is "great ideas, very bad implementation". This is not a good news. :rolleyes: On the contrary, very few complaints for editor or MP. People who played multiplayer liked a lot clans and coop mission. And that is the good news.:)

ArmA 2 - patch version 1.03.58834 Manhattan mission: The airplane at the beginning of the mission does not land (80 mt above): i get off and get wounded, also the other team Razor members... Reloaded and it was ok Badlands (CDF side): I put razor team O'Hara (the corpsman) in a separate jeep, say him "follow me". I was on the ground with the other two Razor team members. Well he ran over me with the jeep and I got seriously wounded. I asked for a medic: no one arrived. Badlands (first cutscene in the village) After the first cutscene with Fyodor, villagers and CDF soldiers, the armoured vehicle ran over Razor Team, and killed one member. Final note: With the previous game version (1.01, 1.02, 1.03 official patch) i did not have any of these problems. They started with this beta patch 1.03.58834

I understand that you defend ArmA 2 (me too). But you must accept that on the game box is not written "sandbox-multiplayer game". It is written: "Play as Razor team in a enthralling/captivating single player campaign"..... On the back of the box there is a screenshot of Razor Team.... ]Well, that is the point: ArmA 2 community must recognize that the majority of people who buy ArmA 2, buy it for the SP campaign. Community must respect these people, who is not happy with the game. Do not take joke of them, please. That's all. Then, maybe they are "introduced" to the other features, such as MP, editor...and like it in the long term. I strongly hope so.

Hi I played a few of your mission. It's nice. Bye

yes it is a bug. I also had the same problem. Carry the girl around with you until you finish the mission. I solved the problem in this way. I attacked Chedaki main base with Lagushina (the girl) behind me. She stayed covered. No problem.

Yes I agree. I also use the editor and download user missions, so I can "compensate" the lack of polishness in the SP campaign. All in all, I liked the campaign, very innovative, but very "PC resource eater". I generally ran it at 25-30 fps, especially "Manhattan Mission".

BADLANDS MISSION (CDF Side): After conquering the first town, a cutscene appears and civilians, father fyodor and cdf soldiers speak. I simply noticed that you can use the building/construction menu during the cutscene, and create some mess around (eg: building a wall over fyodor or over razor team). If you build over Cooper: mission ends. :) :eek: I think you must block all the commands menu. Otherwise it could be a ridicoulous situation.

Suggestion for ArmA 2 editing guide: it would be nice to have a chapter on how to create dynamic conversation with NPC's. Is there any module which helps to create these dialogues: or it is heavy scripting necessary? thanks :)
