Antigoon

Poll is missing an option:o. "I mostly mess around in the editor, so that afterwards I can have awesome MP games!" :D

There are people who buy entire pc's just to play this game (or mainly this game). I know I needed a new pc to play Arma2. I played Armed Assault fine and held off for 8 months, but eventually I went ahead and bought a pc based on what I thought I needed for Arma2. Haven't regretted it since! This game is worth much more to me than what I payed for it.

Might sound a bit stupid but does this work in Combined Operations?

Thx a lot, Kylania! And a terrific site to learn from too, very nice, thank you!

I'm working on my first mission and this is the primary objective in mine aswell. However I have no idea how to do this, so as where you get the option to capture him and then put him on a chopper that extracts him. Do I use the surrender module or can it be done with scripting? I have no clue and have searched quite a bit. This is the only post on topic that shows up. Any advice is appreciated, thx.

Not in a split second snap movement, imo.

Never had a problem with fps wich will be between 25 and 60, depending on where the action takes place. I prefer the highest resolution possible because as stated before, it's important for spotting and identifieing enemy's at distance.

Nice explanation, lughnut. Only remark I have is the imagequality but helpfull anyway. Personally wouldn't mind you doing one on Warfare, as I am really unfamiliar with that mission. Thx.

My point exactly!!

I am wondering what people can buy in their countries for $10? What is that...? One trip to McDonalds? A few beers in your local pub? I am pretty sure every single one of us allows himself to be 'ripped off' for a lot more, simply because we want to have whatever it is that tickles our fancy, be it that fancy shirt by that fancy designer or that awesome phone that gives you whatever extras you need to make a phonecall... Personally ,I don't feel this as BIS trying to extort or rip me off!

I'll just post a link to the thread Zeus has on these forums. That way if people are intrigued by your recommendation they can read up on it. I think they will welcome more players that are interested in the style of play you mentioned. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=85268

If mr.g-c's poll is any indication, I don't think it"ll be much of an issue.

Ok, thx people. I didn't know it was an ACE feature but after your explanations, I'll sort out my keymapping and get your system to work. Thx for the advice.

To be clear, I do use the Zcommon pack and update it through Yoma. The info when entering/leaving vehicles and the Shackhud are working perfectly for me. What I'm missing is the name of the player near to me, if this was an Ace feature, yes ,its logical it doesnt work for me anymore. However I get the impression that other players can still view the names of other players ingame. (on thursday, I remember Hund giving me (Rashomon) and USSRsniper specific orders to clear some buildings as we were closest to them, this would not be possible without him knowing exactly who we were, I think)

I'm having a slight problem with zcommon. I still update it before joining, as I did when playing with ACE and Arma2. However the last couple of weeks the player recognition has not been working for me in OA. I don't know wich file it is but I suspect it might be missing for me. I think the Mk4 template is for players getting in and out of vehicles, Shackhud is what it is, but I can't identifie the player recognition files....

It's the (granted...sometimes failed:o) attempt at realism that actually makes the game fun for me. I for one certainly hope BIS does not go the COD, BF way!

I don't know wich other games you are talking about, but when it comes to delivering a more or less realistic warfare simulation ,BIS (Arma) is without a doubt the best out there! I enjoy MP tremendously and have not played SP in over a year. If your pc can handle it, go ahead and try it, although it really isn't a first person shooter as most people imagine it to be.

If he talks the way he writes........wow;)

Couple of questions; By texture popping, do you mean for instance when you look at a tree and zoom in ,it kinda gets finished drawing on the screen before your eyes? Cause if i could get rid of that, that would be great! And what is a pagefile? I can probably figure out how to install an SSD in my pc but have no idea what you mean by that. (would be Arma dedicated)

As far as I know, when you install OA after installing A2, it will update A2 automatically to patch 1.07 (wich is the last one) and OA will probably already be 1.52. Not too much hassle ,I think. But I could be wrong since I had A2 already installed and patched when I bought OA.

This is definitely not the case in OA. Clearing buildings is more important than ever now. Just be aware of where friendlies are or could be..!(as it should be;))

And again, get into the multiplayer side of Arma! I actually never even tried one mission in single player, except the ones I create myself in the editor. I buy BIS games for MP first and foremost!

BIS has provided me with some of the best gaming experiences I've ever had and I have absolutely no doubt that OA will do the same! Am I a fanboy....? You bet ya...!!! Did I post this in the wrong spot...sry;)

Could be that I'm a total noob but the servers I play on, do not allow crosshairs and if he says he can shoot groups at the distances where most engagements happen (150m to 350 and beyond), he must be an incredible shot! If any of you regular players can also do that without using your sights, plz explain to me how, so I can start complaining about this as well;)

Does anyone have these issues with a downloaded version of OA from Gamersgate? I have the dvd version of Arma2 and just bought and started downloading OA from Gamersgate. Found this thread and am getting a bit worried if the two versions can actually be combined? Runs like a charm :-)
