  1. nah they will release expansion packs, or I expect DLC as is the style if past additions have anything to go by. TBH OFP was about as bug ridden as this game (almost) and by the time they released the first expansion for that BIS had smoothed out most the bugs. although a part of me missed my tank flying about 100ft in the air when I drove over a tractor :D
  2. its a fair point. And well put thx's. I was expecting to be told not to have a stroke again :/ so I take back what I said :cool: And to that link to the locked thread, ur so right. I did the same thing. Just after I wrote that thread I played it MP and had a right laugh. I can see that arma has such a strong community it seems BIS really wanted the MP to be right and the other bits was window dressing. In fact maybe the campaign is that bad on purpose to get people to use the editor :D
  3. besides I think I was a little annoyed because I wanted to discuss if people think the game should have been delayed because it had so many bugs. And in a thread more then 80 pages long, its now not going to be discussed. So it gave me the impression that actually discussing individual points was not allowed in these forums. lets face it, no ones going to read all these posts and discuss it so in essence, moving all posts with an opinion to one massive thread is a little like censoring out any real discussion on things. PS I'm not disputing a specific mod decision this time (what will be will be) just giving my impressions on general forum policy. And if we can't discus policy here then what's the point of having a community forum.
  4. tbh I got the wrong end of the stick because you didn't explain it was in the wrong section, I thought what you said was in essence (before you explained) - "other people have complained about bugs so shut up." I apologise for getting that impression but imo you didn't explain in a very constructive clear manor. Maybe, your thread was in the wrong section and has moved would do. But I won't go on as you said we shouldn't discus it, I just wanted to post my apology for getting the wrong impression. (it is the impression section after all)
  5. not only did it get moved but I got an official warning for my comments. Nice to see they value customers comments. That made me angry to say the least. If I put this in the wrong place I would apologise but all they had to say was thread moved to this section, I would have said sorry as I didn't see this section in the forum. Well next time I have thoughts on a game by this company I will keep it to myself, or what next they going start banning CD keys if you say you don't like something. what bigots.
  6. Now before I start I'm a big fan of the Arma series from OPF onwards. so having said that I knew before I bought the game or read a review that there would be bugs. But arma 2 breaks new grounds in game bugs. don't get me wrong I love this game, simply there is nothing else like it and I can't stop playing it, which in a way makes things worse. I was just thinking that I wish they just held the game back for longer and got some more of the bugs out. This was first apparent on the Manhattan mission which was so buggy that by the time I had got through it I was just happy to be off the level. Now I'm on badlands and trying out the command system for the first time and although I still keep playing its like pulling my hair out. Half the time you tell a squad to move to a location and whatever speed/combat stance you put them to they insist on moving so slowly to the next location they might as well be standing still, which they also do half that time. I'm now taking the second town and I get bugs like, the medic just refusing to move from the spot with his pistol out for some reason. Then if I get hit and shout out I need help no one comes, ever it seems (even without the bug I said before). And you cant swap to another team m8 in this mission it seems (I assume that's not a bug) so ur screwed. Not to mention the AI seems to be able to spot u through enough foliage to hide a small house if they are close enough, or through a hill, building etc (which BIS have said they are working on). Now I'm sure if you listed all the bugs it would take you all day to read but my point is it seems they mostly wanted this game out ahead of OPF2 if you ask me. As the game is its on the verge of being unplayable to an extent. Yes you can force ur way past the bugs with reloads and patients but it just takes away the sim feel. Now fast forward 6 months and they will probably sort out most these issues and the game will be great but for now I feel a little let down by BIS for releasing the game in this state. Now my rant is over I shall go back to bashing my head against Arma 2 because I can't help it, damn you BIS y did you have to make the most buggy game I have ever played so good :D

    Post you most annoying bug !

    well Im playing a mission called badlands at the mo so my top bug at the moment would be squads not doing what you tell them to do and just either running off to attack for no reason or deciding that what ever stance you put them in at whatever speed they will insist on moving as if they are in combat stance and taking in turns to move about 2cm at a time.
