11 hours is fine by me, being 28 years old I dont really have the time to put in over 100 hours on a game like I did in my late teens with Final Fantasy 7 & the like, life keeps getting in the way! But im looking forward to losing myself in Mafia 2 for a while, I'll probably spread those 11 hours over a couple of weeks anyway :)

Nice! I keep meaning to see that film! We do however have this rare beast in the UK which at present is the only one in the world that actually runs! (I've heard talk that the Tiger from the aberdeen proving grounds in the US will soon be a runner though) Heres me with the big cat at Bovington anyway :)

Dont forget the message at the beginning of the demo - that the demo is unfinished product & the full game will be different :) Anyway I've just had a few goes at the demo, and I can see me spending many happy hours in this game! I missed GTA4 so any comparisons to that game are irrelevant to me, the last game of this style I played was GTA san andreas with all the limitations the technology back then had, so this is a new experience for me. Graphics are gorgeous, gun play is fun, story line seems promising, the driving seems fine & theres a ridiculous amount of little details in the world to take notice of! posters on the wall, newspaper headlines, the playboy mags, the way womens skirts flow as they walk rather than rigid polygons, the awesome soundtrack, I could go on...:cool:

How far away from completion is this mod now then? I totally understand the need for patience, but the entire focus of these forums has shifted over to arrowhead now (which I dont have and wont have for a while) so Im just hoping this doesnt get buried along the way! Very nice screens above by the way! :cool:

Ahh right I see, does that mean support for standard ARMA 2 ACE has been dropped now then? I dont have OA and to be honest I wont be getting it for a while either (money, time, PC needs upgrading etc)

Hey guys, I've tried search but its either not covered or I'm typing the wrong words! Anyway I've been running ACE for probably 7 or 8 months now with no problems, but when I went to update at the weekend I got this.. http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/9906/aceproblem.jpg Im assuming something has changed since I last updated (a couple of weeks ago) so any pointers in the right direction so I can sort this out & get back up to date would be top! Again apologies if this has already been covered, I couldnt find it with search :)

Im sick of seeing desert based war games to be fair! thats why Arma 2 was so refreshing to me a year ago!

Really looking forward to 1.01 then! very professional campaign your doing here! maybe if Arma 2 ever gets re-released as a game of the year edition or something they should include your campaign on the disc (and reward you handsomely of course!:p )

Great work ACE team, your ongoing dedication to this project never fails to impress me! :)

I had the same problem, then I realised I was using an old version of six updater so i just installed the new version & it was fine after that, maybe worth checking?

I say Everon, its a great port of the original & the performance is really good on there, even on lower end PC's :)

C'mon guys, throw us a bone, im itching to play this mod! :D i keep checking in every day to see if its been released yet! Damn my impatience lol

The only issue ive had so far is some stutter during the first cut scene which is understandable with so many units on screen, other than that really enjoying it! That assault on the artillery position on the second mission was solid, took me several attempts! :D

Cant wait for more of this campaign! The story element is a lot stronger than some of the other user campaigns so im enjoying that aspect, and the action is good too :D

Been waiting for this for a long time, glad its finally out Bardosy! I'll most definitely be giving it a go later! :D

I do think its just a little too hard, ive had a good few attempts & only just got in sight of the village, never mind anywhere near it! My squad just seem to get cut down in seconds as soon as the first russians show up & everyone was just rolling around injured myself included. Dont make it a walkover obviously, but just a slight tone down would be good :)

Thought you guys might like this link :p http://www.marcusglenn.com/index2.html

I was sure there was! I must be remembering it wrong but I do recall being picked off by a lone enemy on the other side of Houdan as we approached it on several attempts at that mission :) Anyway thats irrelevant, good mission & i'll be having another attempt at it today! In OFP I always used to hide in one of the houses when the tanks came rolling in, waited till they passed & then shot them from behind with the RPG. Only problem was the infantry that followed the tanks...

Its a tough one but I loved this mission in OFP & this updated version is most welcome! my squad were cut down by the first few russians we came across, who then proceeded to scarper off into the woods making it difficult to go after them, i'll get 'em next time :D I just wonder, have you included that sniper on the hill behind the village as in the OFP version? He was always a git for taking out half the squad!:p

Nice model! Never ceases to amaze me how many enthusiasts there are around this game who add all kinds of obscure past & present vehicles in, it can only be a good thing! Its almost the equivalent of having a room full of Airfix models as a kid! :D

If you want to try a couple of good campaigns that dont need any mods or add ons to get you started, try Bardosys "chesty puller" campaign & Zipper5's "Operation Cobalt", they should keep you going so you get some good gameplay in before you start playing with mods. Its easy to buy the game & then spend the whole time worrying about what mods you may need & trying to get them all to work while actually not playing the game that much, such is life with such an active community built around this game :p

At first its confusing if your not used to using mods, which I wasnt when I bought the game almost a year ago, but once you figure it out, and theres plenty of "how to" documents on Armaholic & these forums, it becomes easy & you'll find yourself trying all sorts till you get everything you want added on. Even if you dont fancy that theres still plenty of missions that work with the vanilla version which are easier than mods to install, so theres plenty to keep you going :)

Discovered a bit of an issue with the NV goggles, its just a key binding issue really as the page up/down buttons increase/decrease the intensity of the NV, as well as being the buttons for standing up/down which is a tad annoying when playing night missions & everytime you crouch or stand up it goes brighter or darker. I could always change my key binding I suppose but using those keys has become second nature for me when playing the game. Not a biggie anyway, still love the mod! :)

Thanks! Downloading now :) * edit - nice mission! Liked the cut scene at the beginning! I had a bit of a problem with the NV goggles on it though, on the first go they worked ok, but on my second & third attempt everytime I tried to use my NV goggles they only stayed on for a split second before switching off again, im not sure if that was down to the mission or the mods im using. I havent finished it yet as I got wiped out in the village, but will be having another attempt soon!

Thanks for the quick reply! I did see the clone button but was unsure what it did so I left it alone, il have another go now! :)
