Arma is more a Infantry simulator than a flight sim to be honest, always has been. I think you were expecting a different style of game. The series has always had great infantry combat and had average air/vehicle combat imo Stick to Black Shark for your chopper sim needs.

Just finished the Cold War campaign, overall great fun, the only game breaking bug i encountered was the one detailed in my earlier post. Started the Resistance campaign. The sound in some of the cutscenes is filled with extremely loud static for some reason. Especially the scenes with the voice of the PA systems.

I have no problem with Arma 2 being ported for consoles, but i see no reason Bohemia couldn't port to PS3 as well. Not that the game would hold up too well after losing access to mods.

I'm surprised combat knives haven't been added yet. They are a great tool on stealth missions.

I'm guessing the preview you are talking about is when the guys on either side of the warehouse door throw one in? Just a tiny cutscene at the end of a campaign mission unfortunately . I can just imagine the black smoke coming from my 360 trying to run Arma 2 :)

Seem to be stuck on Hind attack mission of Cold War Crisis. The objective is to find the secret base and destroy as much as you can (which i have done) and then head to one of the tree evac points (tried all of them) The problem is i have found and destroyed the base (objective complete) but when i head to any of the evac points, the main character says "where is that base?" Restarted the mission 3 times now , with the same result.

I'm having problems with the M16 (and variants) muzzle flash effect. During the earlier missions it was just a ghosted effect over allied troops weapons and not noticable on my own weapon. Now as you can see it has become quite difficult to aim with iron sights :) NOTE: I am not firing in the picture, that is a permanent effect, and does not change when i fire. No other addons are running, all graphics settings at maximum @ 1920x1200. GTX285, 4gig ram, Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R. QX6700 CPU. Also Codemasters are pretty messed up if they are stoppping community made remakes of Red Hammer. It's not like they are making any money out of it anymore. Unless they are planning to remake (read:completely destroy) them themselves....

I was expecting Arma 2 to be a buggy mess before i bought it. I buy these games for the multiplayer and awesome community made mods. I won't be bothering with the campaign at all until the community has had a chance to iron out and improve it. That being said, i am not all upset with BIS, they are still providing a great moddable platform, that looks great, and will "eventually" run great as well. There just isn't any kind of competition in the genre

Thanks guy amazing addon. I was about to play through flashpoint again until i saw this, mind if i send a link to my isp to have them add a mirror? (free quota for it's customers) Download limits suck :( Any chance we will ever see the red hammer campaign redone?

This isn't battlefield.

Same problem here, i set a decent sized clearing in a forest, more than big enough to land safely, and the idiot AI decides it wants to land on top of the trees completely away from the clearing. Would be fine if i could take control of the chopper in the rare occasion he manages to land safely.

Don't feel too bad mate, i started off in Operation Flashpoint, and i am still terrible at these games, pretty much only ever played singleplayer though.

Well i encountered my first game breaking bug. Doing the campaign missions, the objective was to kill a sniper that has another squad pinned down. I switched to the marksman in my squad and climbed up a ladder to get a decent vantage point. I killed the sniper and switched back to team lead. The sniper AI decided to fall off part of the roof onto the lower building, causing him to be injured. When i tried to drag him, he completely dissapeared, and it looks like i am dragging nothing, if i select stop dragging, he falls through the roof into the building below. I managed to have him fall through to a spot where he was partially hanging out the side of the wall, and dragged him out and used first aid. Now he seems to be permanently incapacitated. Which sucks as i need the whole team with me to trigger the warehouse raid. The first few missions were great fun :)
