I am in a sour mode , espacially when i encountered something like this after a long wait.
I like all kind of realistic or semi-realistic simulations , i can never forget the joy i got on OF when i tried to escape from enemy camp without any weapon ,map or compass and navigating my way to friendly territory using the stars :)
Bought the game ,and without any exaggeration ,nothing worked...from the first misson to the last (actually i abandoned the game at dogs of war start, when i learned that i have to finish previous misson again)
I am not one of the fanboi saying `but it will get better with patches`..
No it wont ,an AI who can head shot your crouched sniper in the bushes from 500m with an AK is not a patchable issue,it is a design issue and show lack of talent on creating a realistic AI by giving them super human powers ,i mean turning off the vegatation is a must so we can have slightest chance to fight back and here it goes the gorgeous living surrounding and welcome to the texture land...
Installed 1.0.1 patch and finally i stopped becoming a bird and flew away.....and its bohemia to blame..
Installed 1.0.2 and started a fresh campaign and every damn mission still have bugs ,all of them without exception ,you give one order your team does something else ,your team members are suddenly `away` and dont receive orders when they stand just next to you ,misson tasks fail without any explanation ,you finish a task and it doesnt register on the tasks ,chopper and fire misson supports dissapearing etc etc...
I must admit i first got impressed with the sophisticated approach to a sandbox game this big ,if only it didnt failed so miserably.
I dont beleive that i am uttering this sentence but `arma 1 was better`
And OP 1 was way better than arma 1..its sad..its like we are going backwards..
From this day on i am not paying for any game from any company , i will first got my pirated copy and if its fun and working state then i will buy it ,game companys still doesnt understand that fighting with their paying customers will make them loose even more blood ,in this time and this age ,when a pirated copy of any game is on torrents few days after the release and works better because their idiotic protection systems have been removed.
You want my money? Then release working games..End of rant ,peace out..
