Hi guys, Regarding Original (stock) ARMA 2, Opertaion Arrowhead, Combined Operations and the New British DLC pack: 1) I have ARMA 2 and Operation Arrowhead that I have bought separately, I have used the utility to combine the two and get combined operations. What do I need to patch in the future when updates are released? ARMA 2, Operation Arrowhead, or both? 2) If I download the new british DLC, can I use that with people who don't have the DLC? Or does everyone in the game need to have the DLC to be able to use the British gear? I guess what I am asking is if I have a mission with british vehicles etc, can people who don't have the DLC play the mission? Thanks in advance.

JUst wondering if anyone had a chance to consider my question?

Hey guys, I have a non steam version of ARMA 2 and a non steam version of Operation Arrowheard. I used the exe in the first post and got the games combined fine (At least I think so, it still opens up OA by itself but the ARMA 2 missions and content are now available in it). My question is, how do I go about patching it in the future? Do I patch OA, ARMA 2 or both? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, I have looked through this thread and searched around a bit but I'm still unsure. What should I upgrade, my CPU or graphics card to get smoother Arrowhead playing. I have read clock speed is very important on the CPU. Would I be better to upgrade to an newer chip like an i750? I'm a bit out of touch with the newer technology. Any advice is appreciated. Please reccomend what is currently in the "sweet spot" for price/performance. Thanks in advance I currently have: Win XP Intel duel core e8400 running at 3.6 ghz ATI 4890 1 gig ram 4 gig ram Thanks again

setting them to danger can help with them taking cover. have you done this? submenu 7 then 2

I think I read somewhere (not the manual of course, on the forums) that it is disabled for this misssion. I havn't bothered with the other missions yet though, so not 100% sure

Don't get me wrong here, I love the idea of the game, and I hope it will shine in time. But selling it so people in it's current state is just an insult +1 Maybe start a thread opposite to this one http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=84477

Fair call. You make a good point. And I must admit it seems like the beta patches are coming out thick and fast. I do believe that they could step it up to a higher level though.

^^fanboy alert^^ I think that the point he makes is valid. It came across alot more mature than your "please please please can we hope for more info [insert smiles and bananas]". Seems a bit more mature to stand back and evaluate the current product on the market than get excited and caught up in the hype. I found this quote from the offical post on the expansion ammusing "How can BIS work on two games at the same time? BIS: There are a lot of people paid every month at BI, and they need to do something" It is a fact, seen in the vast majority of game reviews and evident from these forums, that ARMA 2 although a great game is full of bugs. ARMA 2 is only just reaching what should have been released. If you don't take my word for it, go read some reviews at meta critic. I have no idea why so many people at BIS need something to do when there are huge lists of things that need to be fixed! I would say they are pretty on par. Both had major issues and were dissapointing.

I just got up to this mission, I'm not using the beta patches. Not sure if my game is bugged too, but I can't seem to proceed. I get asked to go see the commander at Point Hood, and he asks me to assassinate Prizak. I was thinking, you could have done it yourself and saved me all this driving around, but i decided to do it. So I found Prizak who ends up being the priest (guess you already new that) and went up to him to talk to him. He starts talking about how his leadership is the only thing strong enough to beat the russians and so on. I listened to what he said, then pulled up my silenced pistol and shot him in the body. It obviously starts another scripted secquence, becasue he then says "Arghhhm you shot me" you reply Cooper "It's the only way to move forward" I then shot him 4 more times, but he didn't die! He gets on the ground, then gets up and walks off. Prizak/priest says "Muhaaa the power of faith empowers me! See the powers I possess to kill the Russian dogs! I bleed yet I cannot be killed" Cooper "What the... whats going on here" I then pulled out my main weapon (SVD Draganov) and hot him with the full clip. Prizak/priest says "Each time you shoot only strenghthns my power! I feel the power from my priestly robes flowing through my veins! ARGHHHHHH" I then pulled out the rpg and gave it to him He didn't say anything then, but the failed mission screen comes up. It says " You have lost the country to the powerful supernatural forecs that inhabit the land." Anyone else have this experience?

Hey guys. When in the attack helicopter I regularly choose manual fire because it takes the gunner too long to say all his radio chatter before he actually fires the weapon you tell him too. However, when manual fire is selected, he seems to change what weapon is selected even if I havn't asked him too. What I mean is: Say for example, I am appraching a jeep to shoot it with the helicopters cannon. I have the cannon selected. I fly up to where the jeep is, the gunenr spots it, calls it out and then suddenly my weapon is changed to hellfire or something. I think he changes the weapon after he spots new targets. This is a problem because often I am hovering around, cycling throughj targets with helfire selected and looking for AA, and then the gunner spots something else, I target the AA, and suddenly I have stinger or rockets selected. Does anyone know: 1) Is this a known bug, and has it been reported? 2) Am I doing anythign wrong? 3) Is there a workaround? Thanks

definatly satisfying. I would be nice to have the gunner there to track tragets with the cannon though, like troops and soft cars

Fair enough, i did search for it but no luck finding any info. So no workaround?

Hi, Are there any guides on how to play evolution? I used to play it in ARMA 1, when there were more options, but in ARMA 2 I can't find many of the other options. For example, how do I add ai troops to my squad? In the old ARMA, there was a building and after a certain rank you can start adding troops by using the action menu. How do you do this in ARMA 2? How do you add players to your squad? Can you start side missions in arma 2 evolution? I saw someone air drop an ammo crate. How do I do this/request this? I saw someone call for arty. How do I do this? In a section of the journal (not sure what section sorry) you can set your profession. Do you need do set your profession to pilot to get points for transporting troops? Are there even points awarded for transporting troops by air in arma2 evolution? Do they have to disembark form a landed helo to get points, or can they parachute from an fast flying osprey to get transport points? Are there any other cool aspects of evolution I missed? I only recently discovered if you capture the enemy officers you get 20 points! Any help is appreciated

Yeah sorry mate, I had a 4850 and it ran pretty well, just upgraded to a 4890 and its running great

No, I think its pretty clear that you are the one making a fool of yourself. Calling Winch3st3r a fool for arguing for calmer and less aggressive posting is just stupid. So maybe stupid is more appropriate? Maybe you shouldn't assume that everyone understands how copy protection or no cd changes work, or how the timeframe/process normally goes when developers remove the cd reliance. This sounds foolish to me. So fool or stupid? hmmmm?

Can anyone answer this?

Hi, I want to check I understand flaps on fixed wing aircraft correctly. Is it correct that you want flaps all the way down for landing and taking off? Currently, when parked, the aircraft have flaps up. So I want to get in, lower flaps, take off, raise gear and then raise flaps right?

I had to laugh at this one. So, I guess I can swear and say some pretty nasty stuff, and its your fault for interpreting it badly? Its your fault for getting offended? I actually like the game. Lots of bugs, but great game. The simple fact is though, some more updates on what is going on would obviously be appreciated by the community. I think that is clearly fact. Its also not hard to do, a simple brief (but regular) update.

I know this is a nice non-political forum, and its one of the politest ones I have been on, but this is just too tempting: I think it is more the fact that the US made up a new kind of category of people - non comatants- so they could avoid international law, specifically the geneva convention concerning rules used during warfare. By classing them as non combatents they are not POW (they can avoid the rights POW have), and by not having them on USA soil they are not under USA law (Don't have the rights civilians have in USA). They are in no mans land. Maybe you should read up on why it is generally considered that international law was ignored in this instance...

I'm sorry, I havn't read all you wrote. Its too long and I don't have enough time. You may or may not be aware, the single scenario missions in ARMA 2 actually have a little guidance in them. Although my reaction, and I think most peoples, is to start playing the full blown campaign when you get a knew game

ok, i'll try that. thanks mate

Is there a way to add your own persoanl waypoints in multiplayer? I think there was in ARMA 1. I want to add a move waypoint or any waypoint that I can see in game so that when flying helo of fixed wing aircraft, I can navigate more easily. Currently, I have to switch between flying and reading the map to line up the runway to land for example, but If I could add a waypoint to one end of the runway, I can concentrate on flying there and landing, and I don't have to switch to the map. I realise you can mark the map with a black X and type, but this does not show up in game.

I don't know FPS sorry. Running 1600 x 1050 resolution with most settings on normal, 3d rendering detail on 100% and 1 or 2 other settings on high, its playable but not the nicest. Don't have exact settingw with me at the moment... Bloody mouse lag sucks though
