    So are you saying you can easily see a ghillie prone in the grass @ 500m??

    While you are lookin at him, or while you are moving and looking around! There is a difference. imo they hide very well.

    :confused:

    .. Grass DON'T DRAW @ 500m, and that's the problem. You'd expect people that own this game to know this :rolleyes:

    But other than that, in fact I do. I do see snipers at 500m laying on plain textures, because there is nothing in the game that looks anything like it.

    So, if you know that grass doesn't hide you too good, why are you still hiding there? Find a bush, or better yet, something that provides you easy cover and a quick and safe escape route. Grass covers a lot more than concealment, or lack thereof..[deleted some for sake of not quoting the enitre post]

    Grass will make you less visible. I wish I could say "try spotting a sniper at 500m with grass on" But of course, we don't really know. Yes bushes are great for cover.Snipers are too easily spotted in this game in my opinion, there really isnt much of a bledning in effect.. Why the ghillie, when there is nothing to hide in i mean :rolleyes:

    Not to ruin everyones day, but when I tried OFP2 I could run it on highest, and it has huge island too, and nice environment. So ArmA2 has as good as optimisation as Wolfenstein 3D, and best thing is, I bet wolfenstein 3D Didn't have optimisation

    You make running OFP2 on highest like an achievment :rolleyes: OFP2 looks like crap for a game released 2009.. The only reason it can have such draw/viewdistance is because.. It looks like crap. Really.

    But hey, thats just me, and everyone is entitled to an opinion.

    I bought that game and I tried to like it, but it's just utter crap in my mind.

    If you don't like or can't handle grass, turn it off. .

    I'm fine with the animations except you can't break out of them, and that forced switch thingy..

    Grass@

    It's more of a draw distance thing than on/off for me. What good is grass ON for a sniper if it only draws maybe 50-100m? You'd still be able to spot sniper 300m away with ease since there is no grass there.

    @Animations

    Yeah, that's what's most annoying with them, u can't "chose" too Not do something. The game does it "for you" even if you don't want to. Sure u can hide behind tree's but that's not even the issue here.

    It's not realistic to "sidestep behind a tree" when you got full blown machine gun fire two feet from your head :) Think about it.. I'd get the fuck down! Surely behind a tree as well, but still. Sidestepping is not the logical first step in this particular case ;)

    Shadow Draw Distance needs to be way farther, Im tired of seeing shadows on walls and stuff not visible until im 10 feet away, (This is on Normal Shadow settings by the way). :(

    Vastly Improve the Ground Textures on Chernarus at a Distance even with the LandTex Mod they still look Muddy/washed out when flying around or looking at a distance.

    Very High Texture settings again/100% 3D Res 1680x1050 Interface res.

    Correct me if im wrong.. But while we're on the subject.

    The problem with some of the settings, grass for example, is that if you'd have grass draw at same distance as your view distance etc, you'd need a friggin' super computer. And if some people could turn it off and gain an upper hand, that's not right either. I'm afraid we're stuck with that, unless they make grass use less resources.. Much less.. In theory, I don't think it's impossible to make the game look and feel WAY more realistic, it just isn't plausible with the customer in mind. The game is so demanding as it is already.

    Something that would make sense too me though, is improving animations, not that I think they will, because it's such a core feature in any game. You just don't go in and rework it, since there's nothing "wrong" with it.. Except for the fact that people teleport in and out of vehicles. Also animations overall are Very stiff.

    Another really annoying thing is when you have AT weapons equipped and go prone, your character automatically switches weapons - even if fired upon. I've lost count how many times I've died because of this. It's like your character doesn't fully understand the urgency of getting the fuck down literally speaking. - No, he has to switch weapons first..

    And that's another thing really. I shot the Carl Gustav recoilless rifle in the army (SMAW being the equivalent) and we fired from the prone positon quite a bit. With javelin i can understand, but not being able to fire SMAW prone doesn't make any sense to me.

    But I still love this game :D

    This is absolutely true in RL, but...

    As far as I am aware, there is no need to change aim because of a difference in elevation in ARMA 2. I have tried shooting from the taller buildings in Chernagorsk (I think that's the name, haven't had time to play in a while) with the M24, SVD, DMR, and even that silenced POS that can't hit anything past 400m. I couldn't tell any difference in bullet drop from 200 out to 800 meters (200m was the closest I could get with the height of the building and still be able to shoot off the roof without hitting the imaginary bounderies at the edge). This leads me to believe that either the elevation of the buildings weren't steep enough (thought I find that EXTREMELY hard to believe) or that elevation has no noticable effect on bullet trajectory.

    One thing I should mention at this point though is that this was using the absolute distance from shooter to target, not the ground distance... For those who have a hard time understanding this, imagine a right triangle. The bottom line of the triangle represents the ground distance to the target. The side of the triangle (the vertical line) represents the difference in elevation from the shooter to the target. The angled line is what I'm calling the absolute distance (I know there is a proper term for this, but I can't remember it at this time)...

    I wonder if it would be possible to test this by somehow getting a player to float maybe 600-800m in the air and then shoot down at various angles... maybe we'd see a difference in a -80 degree shot then...

    It's naturally a smaller difference with objects weighing less and moving faster (bullets). I was specifically targeting the SMAW "issue" though :)

    These pictures exceed 100kb, but i'll link them so the lower bandwidth users can browse this thread without their internet ceasing to function ;)

    On a side note "Full storlek" get's you the original size, in case you can't figure that out by looking at the resolution text in the link ;)

    First out a AH Cobra, in black and white. Note the Anrop.se logo on the side:

    A dented A-10. Note the landing gear :p

    Same A-10 in mid flight

    A-10 and "Littlebird" on the Chernarus airfield

    And lastly something i put together in gimp, it's not perfect, but decent enough to post.

    Hi, I'm working on a PvP mission and I have one last riddle to solve before I'm done. I want to respawn the same group of vehicles for both sides, and these vehicles are both west, east and independent. I want to respawn them to each side (Guerilla & Civ) But I can't figure out how to. I tried syncronizing each vehicle to the marker, but of course that doesn't work. Anyone got some tips?

    Thanks!
