Does the US Army actually use AC-130's that much?

I think if you are close enough for a knife kill. Then KUDOS TO YOU!!! But in realistic terms, If you do get close enough, i think an action should popup saying "silent kill", where an animation happens where you cover his mouth, drop his gun and silenetly kill him. Wouldn't just be the ultimate reward for gettign that close, it would be awsome for cutscenes too... :)

I havn't got OA yet, but in ArmA II, the performance like halved when you stepped inside a town. Stand inside a large city/town. And you cant do anything. :( Also, who is DI??? lol

The only thing really wrong with the AI is the fact they are super-human. In the fact that they never seem to get that human feeling of just being scared of dying. I dont think ANYONE, no matter how much they are trained or anything, would run directly into a stream of bullets. On D-Day veterens say they were scared as hell. Why can't today with all the tech we have make the same effect? The rest of the AI is pretty decent.

Ooh i do hate these OA threads, it makes me feel bad about not having it! Can someone post some more screens of OA's weapons and effects, i wanna see how they look now :)

Artillery is one of the most used tactics. And is used to do exacly that. Once you find a location. If you cant get into it using infantry and its too long for aircraft to get there, use artillery. Sorry, but artillery is one of the oldests tactics in war.

All these threads make we want to get OA now... :p

Before i go out to buy Operation Arrowhead, I want to basicly know if its worth getting now, and getting another game later, or waiting for its price to drop. Tell me the good and bad parts about it. And cool features etc. I had flash on xfire earlier telling me about some cool features, but feel free to give a nice long list.. :) p.s. If this thread has been here before, sorry. But after the patch, It may have new features? Im not sure. Just tell me ;) Cant wait to get it TBH

Aha yes, the only thing you are going on about is the FLIR. :D Is there ANYTHING else in OA thats worth buying that isnt FLIR... lol (flash dont respond :p)

Those pics look nice! :yay: :D

Umm, i want to be able to like mod the interface, umm. Adding like menu's, and like... hmm... At end of mission say, a box with a form pops up. And it just saves the value you enter. Or, when you open up map, you can press a "report" button, and imput values into a form that gets saved. Im trying to start small, and just add some nice little "realism" addititions for ingame. Sorry if i misunderstood what the "interface" is in modding....

"Hey there general, hows it going?" And yes, FLIR looks alot better than DR's. We are all getting ready for OA. I better find some cash from somewhere to get it with!

Perhaps a simple mod in OA would allow us to implement these such features into the mission editor? I mean, if BIS doesn't actually do it. Which would be a great loss. As making breifings and overviews and objectives etc take longer than should be needed.

That is : 1. Alot of emoitions at once. 2. Very odd. I dont get a trouble with walking around map. Try double-tapping shift. ( to switch shift to go into sprint ) then try sidestep. ?

I wouldbt surprised if he has got Windows 98 300 MB RAM A graphic card that should be thrown away a long time ago and a processor that couldnt handle MS 2010. I say, the fact its not working may be he is doing it wrong. I mean, this game isnt one where you can jump in and play multiplayer. Its style of playing is like how you get a game. Patience, and looking around. Randomly joining servers will keep kicking you for mods and stuff. It does get annoying. I think, if he got some more patience. Added some people on xfire or something that run servers. Get mods that are required and join when there are people on the server too. He may think that takes too long, well then he isnt really playing the right game for him. Anyway, i belive thats what most of us did / do. Find a server we know, or a clan we know or something. Get with them. Go on their servers, and play with decent people. It takes a while to get the right server. But from then its great. ( ye, i found a couple of servers in the end ) You might want to get some friends and play coop with them or something.

lol flash, yes. I think he has a problem with his version of game. Or he hasn't taken the time to learn controls. As this is one of this special breeds of game, its a mil-sim, which takes time to learn the controls. I suggest before he comes back at us. He learns how to play the game propely via the tutorial. Then, find a group who will take him, and tell himn about good servers, and what mods they are running. As we both know, the mods on this game get annoying online. :p

Hmm, i think just adding a tiny break between engage - the - "target". Would make it very good. And the same with spotting and ordering. I still think the player speech is very out. I suppose getting it right is hard. As undoubtibly OA will have alot of speech in it. Anyways, the game looks good overall. Wish i had a PC that could run it. Hopefully getting some more RAM, and a wired connection soon. So, hopefully i will be able to play it :D

I think a section in mission editor for breifings and weapon loadouts is a very good idea. As it does get tedious doing it all. Any news on whether OA will have something like this ?

Cool! Im gonna have to try out some of these. Thanks again. :D

Hey, ive been playing ArmA II a while on SP and Coop modes, but not much gone into Multiplayer. Now, ive played a match or two, not really got into it much. So, whats mutliplayer like? any good servers you know? What are gamemodes? and which do you think is best? Also, what mods are most commonly used with mutliplayer games? I hear ACE is used alot. Well since ArmA II + ACE = Anyways... i dont play mutliplayer on many games at all. So any guidance would be nice too. Thanks. Ben :cool:

Cool, will have to check it out! Know any good servers that use it? Im on latest patch btw. :)

Thanks guys, lots of modes to choose from. I like the old sorta, conquest mode ideas from BF. Where tactics become key. Anyone know a good gamemode for that? / server ofc. Cant wait to play. But randomly joining servers is bad. Even i know that :p

Ok, will do. Look forward to seeing you out there! P.S. Whats the best gamemode?

I cant wait, too bad i cant afford TrackIR, and im too dumb to use freetrack.... LOL

Ok, i want to be able to place a marker on map or something of that kind and a chinook would land at that spot for extraction... But, i wouldnt know where to begin with this... :confused: :confused: Any help appreiciated. Thanks.
