Simpledestruction

This looks good, really wanted PMC units in Arma 2. And i'm definatly loving the new chopper (Ka-60)

What I tend to do in the editor is map out what i want the AI to do using waypoints and simple commands before the start of the mission/scenario. Once that is done they should carry out their 'orders'. In terms of coming across the enemy they will usually engage and deal with the problem themselves before moving onto their next waypoint/command, that is if their still alive. hope this helped. P.S Has anyone else noticed but in the editor the US units always have a significant AI advantage over the OpFor. To try this out set up two equal groups of tanks one BlueFor(US) one OpFor(Russian) and click preview while hovering over in a civvie heli(neutral). You will notice that all the russian tanks get eliminated while the US tanks will usually only suffer a few losses.

Not sure what your are on about. My desktop could run Arma 2 pretty fine at mid-level graphics. In fact the only thing that caused it to glitch was having a draw distance of 6km or putting masses of tanks on the field to have them kill each other (Now that almost killed my desktop).

cheers guys

I am currently thinking of buying a new laptop and wish to install Arma2:OA onto it. Does any one have any ideas to which ones will run it at mid-level graphics My Budget is £800 Thanks

They Really look as if they have enhanced the engine and the infinite terrain sounds amazing. The fact that they have removed the prospect of only following one team during the conflict sounds good, Arma II's campaign was ruined for me the most not by the gamebreaking bugs but by the one person story line. I just felt I was'nt getting the full picture of the war there.

I dont know about you, but I'm really looking forwards towards the Chinook and that gorgeous SCUD missle platform.:)

The Multiplayer can be varied, there are some really good consistent servers out there if you look or ask around, they are usually Clan run matches. Unfortunally there are quite a few servers that are full of complete idiots that seem to be around the age of 7-10, though I havent played it for a while so these people may have left to play a more simple game such as Modern Warfare 2. In the well run and managed matches the co-ordination is good with large Vehicle use going on (largely with Helicopters). Though if you wish to use aircraft your going to have to learn in the Mission editor before you try in a server as they usually kick those that can't fly and try (You will soon learn that a chopper crashing killing 14 marines and the crew because the pilot was a nOOB at flying is the most annoying thing ever). The well runs servers did attract a good number of good players (if no ones on then it might be because all the regs come from one part of the world, they might be asleep) If you want to do some good offline action the Mission editor is AMAZING once you learn how to use it (and it is a steep learning curve), the campaign when I played what was the most buggest and glitchy ever but I think patch 1.04 fixed the majority of game ruining problems, with 1.05 dealing with the rest (as well as giving you an awesome new Chopper the Apache, which I've never used) Hope this helps.

I find that Kelly's Heroes provide a good teamwork gameplay, where all the tards just get kicked and banned pretty quick

Never had this happen to me, but i heard that there is some sort of insta-kill trigger in the south that players can't pass. annoying and not really realistic. Why cant a SPECIAL FORCES squad make it alone, the SAS can do it just to give an example (ever heard of Chris Ryan or Bravo two zero). So it is completely illogical that they can't even if they are American (not to cause offense but even Americans can do that)

Sounds good Downloading.

Hey I've just found out how to get the ACM to work, I know I'm a noob to the missions editor. But I never run into any thing apart from the odd helicopter, do any of you guys know how i can increase the chance off running into a ground patrol. thanks

I've never had this bug, and I dont think it is one. Do you guys wait until battlemage finishes giving the targets before destroying it, that might be the problem. You guys think that this is a annoying bug, wait until Manhatten

Make the Campaign playable and not a chore. And you could add in british vehicles to the editor, that would be kl.
