Yes, because the #1 thing I need in my Arma DLC's is a HDMI Cable

Honestly, I bought it because it was on sale. But the only reason why I play it is because of the mods, otherwise, the amount of content it has wouldn't cut it for me.

It seems when people talk about what map is better, theres always a bias in their reasons. Like: How does that differ from Altis? Is every building in Altis unique? No Copy and Paste? Because I could find the same chapel in 5 different towns on the map. Same goes for Arma 2. I can also do the same with houses and stores in both games. How is that so too? What you see the same tree pattern in every forest? How can one forest be different from another? I don't see how that works too... Some "rock" or "Ridge" changing the way encounters are happening. If that's true, then it seems placing "rocks" in the middle of your encounters will remedy everything. Atlis and Chernaurs are both great maps. But no matter what it comes down to, both maps have copied and pasted buildings & objects, and a few really "unique" ones.

I thought I was the only one who felt the AAF was a somewhat solid force.

I was able to get it during a sale. So yes, it was worth it.

I would like to see BIS recycle ArmA 2 Content since it has a great amount of stuff to enjoy. For DLC or free doesn't matter to me. I'll be happy to pay for the stuff again to see them upgraded and polished for the RV4 engine.

Not really a remake with the frostbite engine. It just needed a new chapter. What it had technically was great. Difficulty level set to "Showcase" mode

Nope, I agree. What they're planning to do is nothing more but adding more fuel to the fire. Grant it my only hope is the N. Koreans don't understand what is going on and just ignores it. Isn't there some kind of charge you can bring up for this? Conspiracy to start a war, or something like that? Considering the thought that we caught those that is doing this. Either way will death be sentenced?

Anonymous takes on North Korea They're doing more harm then good...

Okay... but it still doesn't tell me if all the features we're not liking about in the new titles in the series was a decision of the DICE team or all part of EA.

But how exactly do we know exactly if what the direction battlefield 4 is going to isn't the original DICE team? Is there an interview of one of their original team members about it? All I know they could be just doing the orders making another battlefield, with no specifics on what to do or add.

In which, I told you the reason why it was hard to understand. Which is why I suggested you stay out of it. It would make sense to most people for someone to not respond to what they don't understand. If you're not like one of those people to do such, (Which there is no doubt in my mind you aren't) You would ask what it meant instead of trying to belittle the person by telling everyone to not take him seriously. You came into it from a bad angle to began with. Then furthered yourself by saying you can't understand it when it wasn't directed to you from the start. If you wanted to keep it on topic, then you should of said something different from the start.

And now you resort to insulting grammar, which goes to show, you don't know what the heck is going on, and should of stayed out it from the start. froggyluv understands it, so in terms It's not my grammar, it's because you can't read things that go beyond 5 sentences, let alone your own post... Wrong, but you also stated And If i read that sentence correctly, you basically said: "froggyluv was not trying to belittle anyone" Unless the "FL" means something else, then please... elaborate on what it means. Or is it a habit of yours to randomly stick capital characters in your sentence? Because that doesn't say proper grammar aswell... -------------------------- No problem. I think anyone would hate to be shunned in today's modern world. Like I said, it's completely fine for you to say you don't like this game for such and such reasons. By all means call the game trash if it best fits your thoughts about it. I even said myself battlefield 3 wasn't a great game for me when talking to others about it. But putting all game developers in a ditch and burying them just because they chosen scripted bots over AI is something that shouldn't happen. The programming world is a free world and developers shouldn't have to be told to use this and this because its what some people would like. Which there is nothing wrong with them doing that. There are plenty more working fields that are developing AI. The gaming industry isn't the only one lending a hand. It wasn't the one that created the topic too. So why should the be forced to keep pursuing it or be punished if they don't?

Obviously it didn't to you, that will explain what you said next. FPDR I never stated he was trying to belittle someone. It was you I stated it to. This is the second time you've misread my post.

That developers choosing to use scripted bots over AI isn't something they shouldn't be punished for.

Telling people not to take others so seriously isn't criticism. It's an attempt to belittle another. And for you, yourself to say "not to take me seriously" you sure did jump in...

Still doesn't give you the right to say developers who choose what they've chosen should be shunned. Bad example to use... I don't watch any sports... Whats there to belittle? You get in, grab a burger and eat. If you didn't like the way the food tasted, find something else. Even if I've found something to belittle about, I don't go to other people and say their cook should be put in jail for choosing to cook with a wooden or plastic spatula than a metal one. Don't care for politics too much as well... Same for "choosing non-scripting bots is something that should be shunned for" My goodness, I've never stated you don't have the right to say if it is a bad thing or a good thing. However acting as if you're the programming police and saying people or developers whom choose scripted bots over AI is something that should be shunned for, is something you shouldn't do. There is no authority in the world of programming, so quit trying to get those whom choose scripted bot punished socially. Again, Skyrim is a different game from Arma. Causal Arcade vs Simulator. So in terms Causal Arcade devoplers will rather choose scripted bots because they might see no need to use them in a causal game while when it comes to simulators, developers will rather choose to create AI. A very understanding trend there. I have... it was a childish and revolting example. ----------------- Guess what I've ate today. Homemade Shrimp scampi with some broccoli and had water as my drink. Even though I've never worked as a cook, I have and still do continue to cook for myself. There is a fine line between cooking and using the restroom. If you ever come to a problem like that in the U.S, you report it to both your local Law Enforcement, and to your Local Health Department. They will take of it. Quit with the childish examples ------------------ Re-read the two pages again... You obviously don't now what I'm targeting, and therefor should stay out of it.

Have you ever worked for EA? Have you ever been part of the Battlefield project? If no, Then you really can't say they're choice on dropping it should be shunned for. How do you know if it was a benefit or draw back on what they wanted to do with the series? There must be a very good reason for that trend, one of which you can't really know for sure because you never been part of those teams to work on the projects. Good to know you do, but you're forgetting the kind of game BIS is making is completely different from the game EA is making. There is a very fine difference between a Simulator and the Casual Arcade. I have battlefield 3 sitting in the top drawer to the left of me...

Why should they? It's their game. Why are they in the wrong if preferred scripted NPC's then non-scripted? There are pro's and con's to using either or, there should be nothing wrong going with solution B then A. I agree with you choosing scripted bots over non ruins the fun, however for it being a "poor" programming tactic and that it should be "shunned" on is something I strongly disagree for. I guess you weren't buying the story, because if you think about it, that what the campaign is mainly good for. To getting people to buy the game to find out what happens to those characters.

It's a good change in my personal beliefs. I remember playing single player in battlefield 2 for like a month before getting online. The game will be a little dull after an hour of playing. Though it'll be a good thing to still have that feature included still for those who just want to mess around and/or practice something. (Flying, stupid stunts ect...)

Ah, thanks for clearing it up. No difference, the same is true for Battlefield. Battlefield originally was a first person shooter from the start. It's primary game style hasn't change at all. It's still the same arcade-ish first person shooter that is based on immediate action.

Okay... but... I don't know how you came in with that response to my post, Not being mean or anything, I'm just a little confused on where your getting at.

Yea I forgot to mention I use Windows System Image.

After looking at the 17 minutes game play video, I was impressed. Granted it looked like Battlefield 3 with the graphics, the movie like action they've put into it made me want to see what happens. Might buy it. I would like to see the bots buffed up to hard as hell. Like they run from cover to cover ans do suppressive fire on the player. But I guess they can't do that on their own. It's seems like their difficulty is one "showcase" mode. As for battlefield not being the same as what it used to be, pfff... what game hasn't changed? Grab a time machine and get someone who loves playing ArmA and take him to when ARMA III is released, then see if he notices if it's the same game. One thing is for sure, the music... My god... I thought my speakers were going to blowup. Sounded like they're trying to play the bass out of my speakers and the sounds through my bass. Someone needs to tell their sound engineer they're doing it backwards.

Oh man, good to know that there are other people using Microsoft Security Essentials. I've always had the impression that people and big time PC users think of it as cheap crap you shouldn't use. Though its the only thing I use, But it doesn't matter much since I always reinstall my OS for clean feeling every month :p
