I am saying OFP2 will suck compared to ArmA2, ArmA2 is not allowed to stuff up because not only will they have PC players angry at them they will also have X360 and PS3 players angry if they stuff up, thats right they are going for the nextGen consoles aswell.

Also, be sure to check out Bad Company AKA Battle Field 3 Cheesy

Will be awesome. Wink

There is next to no news on OFP2 yet you say it will suck compared to another game - that you also have not used? Ridiculous.

i got ArmA, i'm completely addicted to it

i warn you though, this is not your everyday run-n-gun FPS game, it is supposed to be realistic and for that reason you should play it like that as well... it's plain suicide to go charging ahead in this game expecting to see the white in your enemies eyes when you shoot him down... this game has no place for the spray-and-pray method

that's why i like it... there are no 12 year old noobs playing much, since they get discouraged fast (no offence to 12 year old gamers that play nicely) and there is a degree of team play in ArmA that unlikely to be seen in any other shooting game

the best multiplayer mission for me a coop mission called Evolution... V2 and V3 (the modded versions will in most cases strip the point of team playing out of the whole thing)

this mission i almost like a mini-shooting-rpg game, where you level up in rank, and with that you get to drive more of the vehicles that are parked in our base and call in for different kinds of support (even a tactical ICBM)... plus the mission gives you points for pretty much anything that helps your team... evolution can run for a whole day or even more, since the main objective is to conquer ALL o the map's cities as you fight against hordes and hordes of enemy AIs (which are quite chalenging)

if you haven't tried it yet, do it... it is probably the best thing to do in ArmA

the only drawback is that you can't use your addons in it (obviously)

BTW, did i hear V22 for ArmA? that would be sweet

Cheers

That's why I wanted to get it. People running around with machine guns bunny hopping all over the place were starting to annoy me.... Roll Eyes

btw, I did solve my problem I had earlier in the thread. ArmA doesn't like more than 3gb of ram.

hmm... did you have to pull a ram module out to fix it? or did you do it some other way?

i'm upgrading to a new rig with 4GB or maybe more RAM, so this might afflict me in the near future

i hope ArmA 2 doesnt have this problem

Simply Load up Msconfig in Vista, and you can specify how much ram, processor cores, ect to boot up with. Very easy, and only takes a few moments. Though you would have to change it, and reboot your system everytime you want to play the game
