ArmA2: Operation Arrowhead


Total

Recommended Posts

When was the last time you used it Bumfire?? Some people did have some trouble with the very 1st version. Must admit i never had a problem myself, it all ran fine.

 

Anyway the latest version of the updater suite is alot more advanced than the original.

I've grown tired of Takistan. The map concept is fine, but lacks various terrain personalities common to that region. ie caves, accessible fissures in the rocks, snow at higher elevations (instead of just being a pasted effect on a background), and the sand plains that slow down vehicle traffic.

 

While I still enjoy Chesnarus, I really do wish BIS would release an official port of Sahrani for ArmA2. IMHO, while not based upon an actual geographic location, it was still believable and very diverse in the terrain character. Desert, forrest, several larger cities for urban combat, and mountainous areas all in one large environment.

I really wonder why those games always have to be realeased on realistic terrains or whatever.

There can be so much interesting terrains, hand made or improved.

we all know too well how "fast" time fly's when you're playing on the computer no doubt. 3 hours never went by so fast. I can tell I've been playing too long when I generally get irritable. Irritability ensues...time to turn it OFF! Go outside, play in the snow........(by play in the snow I really mean get the eff away from the computer) and maaaaaybe come back a little later ;).

 

It is nice to have options to suit your mood though. You feel like getting dirty, ARMA, you feel like putting mav's on armour; DCS A-10C you feel like getting up close and personal in a gunzo dogfight; Cliffs of Dover.

 

Rather than battling each other for supremacy there is definitely room for all great sims under one roof, holding hands and singing "heal the world" and all that noise ;).

the six updater is PITA here, not steam ;)

The only difference between a regular install and the steam one is the location of root folder, the actual file structure is the same.

Oh, that. Thanks for the info. Recently I've stumbled upon an "idiot installer" too. I dare to call it like that because it has been provided officially (some utility app, let's say).

Anyone recommend servers for beginners? Been spending most of my time in singleplayer and practicing with weapons and Humvee driving in the armory.

 

I like playing in the 82nd. There are a lot of nice people in there, but you do get the jerk every now and then.

Much as I love Arma II, I have to confess I think Arma engaged me just that little bit more. Sahrani had some brilliantly realised locations. I hate the idea it is seen as the red-headed stepchild of the franchise, it is still excellent.

I have had equal amounts of fun in both games, btu I will be honest that playing Evolution on Sahrani in the old days was fun as hell.

 

We played in our own server and would not take Paraiso by camping on the hill. We would grab MP5's and take it fromt he inside out.

 

Also, in those days, there was no MHQ to spawn at, so that made things alot more fun. I also edited a version to where the main spawn was on a small island at the very north end of the island and we had to use boats to get to the mainland. After that, we had to fight our way down to the main airbase.

 

Made for alot of fun :D

What do you mean? There is PvP in ARMA, are you referring to the lack of servers running PvP? I find co-op a nice change due to the fact that most games do not have it. Getting four or five of your friends to hang out of a little bird at dark thirty and take down an airport full of well trained AI bad guys is great fun.

 

Can be fun, but nit as good as the airport being protected by human players. I got sick of fighting AI in ArmA.

I understand you, but human players can be so jerkish and not coordinate at some time they are as easy as AI.

Only real interesting games are when 2 more or less coordinated/Integrated team collide.

Thats what i liked in AAO, some pugs would get really coordinated after 2 to 3 matches and many really interesting situation would arise.

It s really beautifull to see teamworks even when you ve been wacked by them :)
