@OS, an interesting idea came to my mind and I am wondering if you would be including something like the helmet flying off on a head shot or something like that when you have the time to do so? :)

@TONCI, yikes! It seems like having arma2 play realistic large scale battles with a finite number of enemies really isn't that feasible as the AIs seem to suck up a ton of computing power. I was even planning for a city scene with at least 300 civilians for the next mission! jeeezzz....

@TONCI, yeah... so far, it seems like only the folks with quad core above 3ghz are playing with decent frames... did you lower visual distance to 1000m as recommended? For the healing, did your character play the healing animation? The BIS healing is short or long depending on the degree of injury. The more injured, the longer the healing, that is why you must drag your injured to a safe place before healing or you will join him in the stack of injured...hehehe Good luck with the exams! :)

@Sniper_Pilot, GL4 is mostly an enemy AI mod. It has only limited friendly AI functionality. See the userconfig file for the details. @SNKMAN, one suggestion... is it possible for you to adjust accuracy values according to unit class? For instance, any unit classname with the word "sniper" could be given a much higher default accuracy than the rest of the units. I thought this might be possible since you already have the means to go into such fine details on the AI accuracy. Currently AI snipers are a joke... simply normal rifleman with single shot weapons...hahhaha.

Loving the new RAUFOSS rounds! They seriously kick light armor ass! In fact, I got one lucky shot on an LAV (for testing purpose) which ignited its fuel and then the whole vehicle... just one shot. Thats just lucky because other times, I would just be able to kill the gunner and disable the turret. Very nice! UPDATE: Tested on a BMP-2 and send it exploding with single hits to the turret... better than AT weapons...??

Love the new HK416 models! Great textures and nice magpul! Would be even better if the recoil signature isn't exactly the same as the M4 as it has a totally different piston and barrel and that if magpul actually makes reloading faster...hehehehe

JESUS! Thanks for sharing!

Please tell me what your experience is especially with such a kick ass rig! :) @TONCI, did you get to play at last? SD up there already heard your sexy voice....hehehee ---------- Post added at 02:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ---------- Poll added for QC and feedback so I know where to head in future missions. :)

SD, glad you enjoyed it!!!! Jesus, you are one of those people I was concerned if I could satisfy! hehehehe! Well yes, the performance issue is one that will be tackled on the next update and I hope you would be able to better experience the chaos...ehehhe, indeed, chaos is the word and some of the misdirection is intended because in a real battle, sometimes you can't find your way around the most familiar of places and then there are people shouting at all kinds of orders at you. At least that was my RL experience. :) Well, the level of realism isn't where i would like it yet because ArmA2 is very limited in terms of the human factor so I can only do the best I can for now but I can assure you this is not the best I can do. :) I will strive to produce even more realistic battle scenes in future. Hell! I can't believe you completed the AA gun mission with Razor team! You are one kick ass player!!!!!!! I tried so many times and either razor team or me would die. In fact, I wanted to add an extra scenario there where friendly A-10s provide air support after knocking out that gun but I didn't yet have the time to do so.. probably in the next update. You are very near the main ending... you should wait til the OC tell you to get the hell out through the PA system, run out the East wing to meet the PLA APCs out there, hop on and then go. Actually, how the mission end really isn't important at all as long as you have enjoyed the experience. It does seem like you have not triggered all the scenarios yet, so, still some replayability there. And hey, thanks for the compliment! Will pass it on to my wife. :)

NEAT! Loving the getout. :)

Yup, linked from first post now. :) Nobody heard the lovely voice of my wife yet? hehehehe (WOW! Almost 100 downloads in just 3 hours! Makes all that work worth it! :) )

Much much much appreciated buddy!!! PLEASE!!! :) My coding is poor as hell. :)

Yeah buddy! Darn, I always tot its in the same package. :) Thanks for bringing it up. :)

This is very wierd....i was pretty sure they were from BB mercs... are your mods updated? Those were the only mods I have active when I made the mission... any experts here who can help please? :( Update: hey buddy! Found it!!! :) http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=7248 sorry for the trouble.

Oppps! Thanks for the reminder, its the Desert USMC needed... updated! ---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ---------- Thanks a lot for enjoying it even though its only 5fps! :) Yeah, its really heavy, even for my system but I am very glad it did what I want it to do, which is to capture the essence of war and the feeling of war and to put players through a form of experience. :)

Your voice acted roles are at the Eastern wing, remember that. hehehe. :)

Yes, listed under required mods. :)

Release time changed to 10:30am EST! :) ---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ---------- Operation Iron Fist - FOB ALAMO is now RELEASED!!!! :) DOWNLOAD HERE FROM FILEFRONT! (Please make the recommended settings outlined on the first post to prevent nasty surprises) Please be gentle with me as this is my first ever completed mission. Yes, I have never completed making any missions prior to this one. Thank you all for your support and sorry for the waiting. There are MANY areas which I would love to make a lot better and I think I should but I will wait til I get some feedback from you guys before I do that. Some of these improvements include outro for each of the 5 endings, better coordination of some scenarios and more complete voice overs. Hope you guys enjoy the first part of Operation Iron Fist and I promise the second part, which is now under preparation, is going to be EPIC! Yes, I am pumping in cold hard cash to engage professionals for various parts of the mission including cutscenes and custom music in order to truly produce the kind of "First Person Played Hollywood Movie" that I envision. So, its gonna be BIGGER, BETTER and of PROFESSIONAL STANDARD! Stay Tuned to Operation Iron Fist!!! :) I will be releasing spoilers on each of the 5 endings and each of the different possible encounters after you guys uncover at least a few of them. :)

Thats exactly why most mission makers give you the option to teamswitch to the AT gunner and the sniper in your group. They just don't behave the way their weapons demand them to. However, lets not discount it totally as I have seen AT soldiers behaving correctly, taking out tanks with AT4 from proper distances. :)

Seriously, I don't get it, how is VBS different from ArmA? In fact, from the screenies, the interface looks like the one in ArmA1. Some one enlighten me?

Ok, since everyone's so supportive, I will try to add an outro for one of the 5 endings within this final 5 hours, wish me luck. :) UPDATE: Ok , FUCK IT.... I made it so crappy its gonna ruin the feel of the game... will do a better job on my next mission and I promise that is going to be EPIC!

NO!!! I was just enjoying it!!!! hahahaa, just joking. :) Thanks for updating or the BMPs in the mission I am going to release tomorrow would be doomed. :)

You missed nothing...hehehehe... sick, you could consider making the trigger on player at a position just off the coast so that if we cannot find the boat, at least we can still swim out to the reference point and win. :) That was what I tried to do on my first attempt.

Happened to me on my first 2 tries. Tot it was the NIM weather mod I was running. Removed it and found the boat on the 3rd play. Were you running that mod?

..mmm... I am liking the new armor update. This update made the damages more irregular with the effects less predictable. I played my iron fist mission and sometimes had to put 2 SMAW AA rockets into a T72 to stop it, sometimes one well placed one (lucky hit of course) sent it exploding skyhigh. This less predictable damage model makes it a lot more realistic. :) Thanks ACE team.
