    Dragon Rising has been released

    Yep I wasnt even going to post a reply on it, being a troll and all. Could not help noticing that all those educated peeps spouting pschobabble over there could not be bothered using spell check (just as I don't), correct grammer, punctuation or sentance structure (again just as I am not). But after all that they still have the audacity to feel they can judge others on what a person has posted. Oh god now I am ranting about people and their posts, your point is taken, now lets fire up a round of Arma. Oh wait all my clannies still want to play DR. :eek:

    Seriously people I think we all have to acknowledge that DR is not what the promos said it was going to be. I mentioned the 225mtr tether earlier, I have not tried to see what will happen if I stay out of the zone but I am not really interested. For me this is not a game that competes with arma its a BF2 or COD competitor and in that scope it has its place, and not even at the front I rank it BF2 then DR then COD franchise. At least BF2 has the ability to fly when and where u want on the map and in a Jet too. My clan mates are still intent on smashing their head against this game but as far as they are concerned Arma2 was just too complicated. (they are in it for the rambo feeling). after a couple of hours of coop play I have 800 or so kills 8 deaths and 1 team kill. You cant it seams shoot over the driver in the crappy jeeps under certain circumstances, havent ried replicating it but I fired and got told to stop shooting him reaimed and made sure the animation was above him and still hit him and agian and agin untill I killed him. Seems the Hitbox extended above the character by about 1/2 a game metre. I also find it amazing that a game like this has the ability to hit an enemy who only has his head showing above a sandbag fence 4 to 5 times before killing him. The game definately plays smoother personally I feel its due impart to poor game design on BIS behalf but more importantly to there being NOTHING in the DR map. I go back to the tether if I am not allowed more than 225 metres away from my teammate the game has no need to do anything outside of the immeadiate gameplay zone. The editor. I have modded maps and missions on quite a few game engines now this editor has to be the worst and that includes the likes of Radiant sdk's for quake engines. I am fighting things every step of the way, game play zones, ai not staying in their stated posts, and finally the roads dont exist, if you put a vehicle on the road and a waypoint at the other end it does a straigh drive to it over under through what ever is in its way I had to plot 150 waypoints for it to follow the road 3 kms. My last querry here is, Am I the only one that wonders how many wars were fought by two armies of 32 men????

    I was just looking at the cd cover this evening and it something like dedicated server recommended for Multiplayer games with more than 8 players so if they are shipping with this written on the cover WTF. then last night while playing I just could not hold myself together when I held back as a sniper and then got caught with the 225 metre tether what f###n sort of sniper gets to within 225 mtrs of a firefight.

    ahhh just found this thread.... read about 15 pages and figured its time for my 2 cents. Overall I found out of the box Op Flash looked more finished then I started to see more, the grass looks all the same .... every where... Yeah I know grass is Grass but hey looks to me like clone wars ... the grass strikes back.... no Civilians no ambient life no real sim IMO. Alt tab. I have no issues in either game- while editing in Arma 2 I have run upt to 3 instances of the game at once on my E6850 4 gig ddr3 ram and XFX factory oc 8800gts 2 copies on the editor and 1 copy in a game doing RT tests, I can alt tab through them no issues at all. Havent tried more than 1 instance of Op Flash but after the intial play dont intend to. game interface really sucks in both games.. but I got used to Arma in 10 mins 4 hours of OP Flash and I still stuff up. I cant look to my side while driving... where the hell did those bullets come from oh hell I am dead...... well thats if the AI are actually doin anything more than the sidestep shuffle.. sorry codies Arma 2 wins there too. Oh and Op Flash crashes in MP for me all the time.. Not to Desktop or BSOD or anything but it freezes and locks my PC no Alt tab there or Task manager .. or anything no over heat on the readouts no issuses anywhere still got voice com over msn or whatever I wish to be using in the background. looks like a vid driver bug no idea waiting for a patch lol. Cutting the rant short because I am about to bang my head against Op flash again my main team mate has had the worst run on Arma and thinks the alternative is a godsend.. I just hope god sends it somewhere..... else
  5. Am going to use this as well thanks for the work.
