ARMA 2: OA beta build 77068

[ARMA 2: OA beta build 77068]

is it supposed to be like that? you cannot kill the AI-passengers of a vehicle (UAZ example) with hydra missiles, even if i hit it directly. instead the AI steps as nothing happened

[[SP][Takistan] Operation "Broken Wing" (OA) ...by bboy]

it seems it does need an addon. dunno if arma 2 or baf. only have OA. it says i am missing caweapons_ammoboxes and cant play it because of this

[HOLD gametype]

Well, if the only PvP running now is Berzerk, I won't be coming online soon :(

yeah, me too, since it needs CO. :jail:

[ATTN NOOBIES! - New to ArmA II or OA - Here's the place for your questions]

can i filter servers, which do need arma 2 vanilla? got only OA

[HOLD gametype]

i (european) cant complain about hold gametypes. mostly in the evening at ~8pm (CET) and even before, AAS server are pretty full. but im struggling to find some, which do not need CO. only got OA :(

what has happened to Charlie Foxtrott Public Server?

[ARMA 2: OA beta build 73968]

in single(/scenario?)-mission E04 the enemys instantly know where i am when i detonate the bombs

is this supposed to happen? i cant imagine. dunno if it's an only-beta-patch error

[Zooming and LOD switching]

theres nothing wrong with your hardware. this 'feature' belongs to arma just as the buggy AI does.

[ARMA 2: OA beta build 73968]

i have serious LOD issues, my character and some vehicles (humvee e.g.) never! change their lod and are locked at the lowest details.

[Graphics engine improvement]

the only thing i dislike in arma graphicwise is the animations as i have mentioned before, and the lack of vibrant/more contrastful colors. anything else is fine for me.

edit: changing LOD is also not too cool to look at ^^

[Ai thread]

(This was posted before, but) the AI prefering nearly all the time the prone position is a bit problematic, since its not rare for them to go prone when they have something in front of them like a wall, or another object, or some times going prone in the presence of armored vehicles that they are not equiped to deal with instead of fleeing.

yes, this really is an issue which steals a lot of atmosphere if you play against AI.

anyone else realised that if you shoot a car/any other transportation with AI in it, the AI doesnt die until it doesnt get directly hit by rockets (hydra example)? if you just shoot one meter away and the vehicle explodes, the AI still disembarks and is alive. or are the explosion themselves so non-lethal?

[What if CryEngine was used as Arma 3 future engine?]

i dont care about the graphics tbh, but the animations. it just looks ugly when you shoot a guy while he is prone and about to stand up, he first has to finish his animation, and THEN he does his scripted death-animation. rag doll, anyone? :P

[how do i get the ULB]

yes, this happened to me too in the third mission in the campaign. i did nothing, a day later it suddenly would go to my waypoint when it first didnt want to. guess a bug, once again.

[Whatever happened to this?]

this looks awesome. need.:eek:

[move with precision]

yes i noticed this too. also when you are next to an object it often gets mistakenly selected, instead of the object you are pointing at with the cursor.

[ARMA 2: OA Beta 72716 is up]

edit: sorry, should've started the game via gamshortcut in my main arma folder...

[Free view and Aim (infantry only)]

Not in a split second snap movement, imo.

ofc not, but limiting the maximum turn speed would be an option.

[New ARMA2 OA Beta Patch 72418 Available!]

with this patch, when i press space bar and am not the squad leader, the radio messages are totally messed up. when i hit roger for example, he says "negative". or when i click "repeat" he says "copy/roger"

tried it with the vanilla arma oa then (without beta patch) and it worked as it should. although i only tried it with scenario mission 1. dunno if this bug is known already. i have the austrian/german(?) version btw

edit: and when i use the "move there" button the game crashes at all -.-

[Arma II & OA User Video Thread]

there are some nice videos in here, especially richiespeeds one is outstanding. but what i want to ask is, how do you do these movies? i know its best to record with fraps, but how do you get rid of all hud elements, move the camera independent of your character? i googled, but couldnt find something useful using my keywords.

talking about OA

[ATTN NOOBIES! - New to ArmA II or OA - Here's the place for your questions]

how do i control the UAV in the pathfinder mission? could not figure out how i can set waypoints for it

(the uav tutorial is not working for me - just a black screen...)

[Crashes: Wait to buy?]

wow, my post has been deleted, because i said 'wait some more months to buy because the are some stupid bugs'. its not like you could have deleted my - i gotta admit - not very necessary sentence at the end.

[Operation Arrowhead Campaign]

Why is everyone complaining? BIS is gonna add more campaigns as DLC

as long as they're free.. :)

[The UAV mission]

hi i got one more question, found the UAV and all. but how the heck do i set waypoints for the uav to actually get to the possible locations? i couldnt figure it out. already tried to do the UAV training mission, but all i could do is to train with the other uav (with the apache). but with the other uav (like in the mission pathfinder) the screen keeps black after selecting it..
