i played dragon rising again yesterday after not touching it for almost a year...templargfx just released an update to his islandwarfare and his ai tweaks and the game plays great!! the last half year i tried to get into arma but i gave up now. its way too bugged to enjoy. i prefer a limited but more polished game to something overambitious but bugged. thx and good bye

the problem with this game is that the controlls are sluggish...you move your mouse and the aim swings all over the place. its rubbish. nomatter how realistic the rest is...if i dont feel in controll of my virtual body it sucks. fix that and the weird animation system and your back in the "game".

i hope they dont release another part in the near time INSTEAD i want to see the polish the crap out of ARMA2 and the expansion. this game is so awfuly inpolished no wonder it doesnt get mainstream attention (aka funding). they need to bring every feature to blizzard level and you will see that a polished product creates happy consumers that spread the word. right now there are only hardcore fanboys spreading it and all mainstream people who try it dont like it because of its amateurish look and feel. they have an awsome foundation of features but every single one of them is not really 100% where is could be. LET THEM POLISH IT :)

thanks guys. your right im not that used to be just an entity in a greater war. i think i have nothing against that, now that i understand that there has been actually reasons for the turn out of that way the mission played. to be honest, thats just the thing im looking for :) ill give this mission anither go tommorrow and see how it turns out this time

blabla this threat sounds like a ubuntu help forum...lots of bad advice painting bugs as features. i played the same mission last night and the whole thing felt buggy: - friendly ai got wasted due to stupidity. (i dont mind the exact reason, it just behaved unnatural dumb) - after the apc got destroyed we moved on towards the airfield...i was exspecting we take out the AA on the hill that was mentioned in the briefing but hte leader just walked towards the airfield and suddenly the mission ended in a success...lol WTF. i was reading that after taking out the AA we get artillery support and should then attack the airfiled?...but nothing like that was executed. instead i had the feeling the ai bugged out. this game is clearly not very polished. i understand the complexity of such a program and dont expect a perfect product but im abit disappointed mostly because people in this forum try to paint a much brighter picture about this game as it really is. (if you wonder what i mean with polished: check out blizzard games, they perfect what they do and deliver portions of perfection while their scope of their games is always just as huge as they can handle, and somehow i feel ARMA tires to do 1000 things but they all are not quite there.) nevertheless i plan to invest my sparetime in this game in the upcomming time to see what makes people so exited about it. i hope ill find the good stuff and not only the bugs

hi there i just bought combined operations last day, installed both games, started arma2, got into the tutorials ...AND HATED IT! WHY? i had to redo the very first basic one at least 5 times,...due to having only one javelin,...leaving the assault course without recognizing its boundaries,...not auto-saving, finishing the tutorial unsuccessful and loosing the save state by clicking retry...doh i started to really hate bohemia for this unpolished game.....but after keeping at it and finishing the arma2 tuts i started to do the expansions tuts and oh my: IT TURNED MY MOOD COMPLETELY!! this time the tutorial experience is highly polished! the menues are better writen, its always clear where to look (since the default yellow markers are impossible to recognize for a newb), the whole experience is so smooth and rewarding that my faith in all the hype this game got is completely restored. i cant wait to continue tommorrow and im already blown away from the scope of this game. (i played flashpoint back then, but never arma1 due to shitty performance, then i played dragon rising and while its very polished, the scope is so limited and no support burried that game premature). so thanks for having me on this forum and dont be too harsh on me if i start to ask maybe stupid questions once in a while :) cheers krz9000
