Hey, guys! I downloaded this mission http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=11098 and added the PBO file to Arma 2 -Operation Arrowhead > OperationArrowhead > Missions like it said to, but when I try to find it in-game it doesn't seem to be there. Any idea what might be wrong? Thanks!

Alright, will do! ---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ---------- I'm kinda confused. The folder in Documents has a file called ArmA 2. When I click on it it I can see Missions, Saved, UserSaved, ArmA2OA.cfg, and my profile. The one saved to my desktop is titled ArmA 2- Operation Arrowhead. When I click on it I see the Data, DirectX, and OperationArrowhead folders. There are also a ton of Autorun, readme, and setup things there. I'm really not sure what I did when I was installing this, but something doesn't seem quite right.

I have Windows 7 which I am pretty new to - I had XP for the longest time before I bought this new computer. So the main directory is the actual application? The actual thing you launch the game from? Thank you so much for you help - I'm sure this is very frustrating and I'm sure you have better things to be doing. Thank you so much for your help.

I'm terribly sorry, but I am very poor in the PC arcane arts... What is it exactly I'm looking for?

I wasn't really paying attention, so I probably just installed it to whatever the default location was which seems to have been the Documents library.

Yeah, on Amazon you can download some games as well as purchase them. I only bought it from there because it was like ten dollars cheaper than Steam. When I go to the Control Panel I don't see ArmA II: OA. Just ARMA II Operation Arrowhead Uninstall.

Well that's weird. I have it saved to my desktop but I think when it was originally installed it installed to Documents by default. (I downloaded it off of Amazon) ---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ---------- Do you think that is the problem?

Yeah, I tried going to Documents > ArmA 2 > Missions and sticking it there but won't work either. I checked the campaign section, scenarios, and trying to load it in the editor but it just isn't there.

I tried that and it's still not working. Ah well, thanks for trying!

There was one, though. :/

It's freaking amazing how BIS added a new campaign and a new helicopter in the latest update! You know how many other companies do things like this for FREE? Me neither, but it's not many. Seriously, BIS gets :ok: from me!

Okay, thanks!

The commands system in ArmA II is painfully confusing, so for a while I would like to play as just a fireteam member instead of the leader. Is this possible? :confused:

Okay, I get it now. Are there any campaign missions that you play as a fireteam member? Are there any good community made missions that you play as fireteam leader? I don't have this game yet, but I hope to get it soon. Thanks, Paul

So basically I can't play with someone giving me orders? I have to give the orders or we will fail?

Ah, that sucks. And how well do the verbal orders work?

Hey guys! I was just wondering how good the friendly and enemy AI is. Does friendly AI know to get to cover if under fire or do you have to tell them? Will the enemy try using tactics such as flanking? Thank you, Paul

Thank you, all! I watched those videos. You guys are probably the best community I've ever been a part of.

You know, I think I'm going to cry. :(

Ohhh. I see. Thanks, guys! And Whoatherefatty, are you by any chance from the Dragon Rising forums?

Yeah, I'm in the USA. :D Thanks for all the info! It will definitely help me out. :)

Alright then. :D Thanks for your help, guys!

I'm trying to stay under $1,000.

Thanks, guys! I've been playing Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, and the friendly AI occasionally shoots you in the back. There are also plenty of other problems with DR's AI, both friendly and enemy.

Okay.
