Ive been busy making maps,be here on sunday night,there one called Mass Grave,another is Concentration Camp,Operation Spear Head,Civilians check your fire,Night assault Castle,if youve watch the you tube videos for arma2 ,they dont scratch the surface ,join the Demo tonight,to see for youselfs,these maps rock,always full,mapping them with full movement for AI and great gun fights with colums of armor on the move towards each other,started mass grave got full with players ,got in my ABRAMS and went 101-2,cobra 36-3, others 7-10 10-7 get the picture,like I said,If you know how? Armor is nothing,if nothing else evade.but a squad of AT specialist placed on the roadside for an ambush,kills alot,but if the tank has me in it,you better off running. cya there tonight the next 3 days ,nothing but arma!and if youve played the demo,you still havent seen anything yet...Love this GaMe!
playing the arma2 demo for an hour,isn't good for generalizing the whole game.didn't even scratch the surface.This game BEATS AA3 hands down and if you say otherwise you don't know what your talking about. red dot sights 1st person to 3rd person,this game is the BEST one...Armor isnt over powered,and these maps I have worked on would sway opinions the other way.
lol oh god this games ai is so dumb. I decided to play single player and I ran into the town. So I couldn't find any baddies but I heard some gunshots, so I ran over a few fences and found this AT sitting there and it didn't look like ours, but one of our AT's came out down the road so it started shooting at it. I was standing infront of it and it kept shooting at the tank, so I fired a couple bullets at it to see if I could get its attention. 2 baddies jumped out and layed down, so I shot one and one crawled through some brick and frences magically while I was reloading and I shot him point blank as well from about 4 feet away, which both managed to not see me. I shot the tank again and it blew up.
FYI If you want to save a few bucks and wait till the 30th, you can get ArmA 2 at newegg for $46.99 Edit: nevermind, I thought it was free shipping.. you will save 1 cent at newegg
So for those of you who say demo sucks ... i still experience a crash here and there but maybe its my computer that sucks anyways i had my first Scrimmage under the http://cfarma2.com/ on the RSI side ... was a blast a few server hiccups but they have fixed it and think they can host a 150 man PURE PVP server in the near future for this epic war about to take place First we drove in the Humvee into the zulu (place to capture) killed a few enemy when we spotted 2 lone scouts and quicly after we got blown up by an rpg ... after a short respawn timer i was now in a Black hawk with my Unit (Bravo 1) into a HOT LZ ... killed a few more after finding cover and continued to hold a stretch of forest in order to annoy any reinforcements the enemy would receive ... after about 45 minutes the server had 1 hiccup and then the admins figured out that having to NIC cards was the issue ... i then had to leave for work but man was it a blast hope some of you are thinking about getting this and joining up (we can all join same squad and be our own unit but still have to take commands from high command) its fun and im having a blast 24+ hours played since friday
So I was playing the demo tonight after our little AA3 pow wow.. I joined some 16 player Death Valley game and it was a pretty good time. I had fun. I hadnt really played a MP game with so many people. The weird thing was.. I hid in a bush and got up to get a drink.. when I came back and moved around, it looked like I died and yelled "BLUFOR WINS!".. ever since that it would not let me play! I would respawn.. then 5 seconds later death screen and yell the same thing. Joined the other team.. same thing but OPFOR WINS! I joined two other servers and it did the same shit? wtf?
I've made 15 maps in the demo,I started up the server yesterday @ 6:30 am it was full 12 players all day until I shut it down @ 9M the previous 3 days about hrs all together about 50 hrs in Demo,I can control my squad and my vehicles with precision now,I cant wait to get it Erock,I called the store,still not in,the say its shipping issues,I told her its available for download now,maybe next one I won't go to them should have went to EB Games. once again Erock I'm Jealous,but fully trained. I'm going to demo to make a HELLO Death MATCH called "COBRA DOWN" any one with the demo join tonight .I passed out @ 9.sorry,But I giving this game 100%,and if my post gave you a head ache or you think I shouldn't post comments,DON'T READ THEM! Once again this game has no big issues,the game crashes but like Erock said might be me,restart my cpu and it's fine ran for 12 hrs non stop hosting too,and the Rosetta's for all squad and game work fine. It's different and the learning curve is bigger than a FPS alone.space +1-9 mouse wheel for all squad related commands,no flaws at all.RTS FPS.with 3RD person option & 5th person veiw to target long range to your squad. Like I've said in previous posts, that it takes skill to stay alive in armor or helicopters,this game is no exception,you can't fly your dead,you can fly and your dead,flying evasive and picking targets behind cover then escaping quickly is the only way not to get hit,they can shoot you rear rotar goes into a spinthats survivable,but a missle hit no chance,even small arms fire gets thru the canopy,the engine,or even you or your gunner,fly low and fast,or die.took Rowel out on a tank mission we had fun ,I called targets he hit them all,to bad that AT soldier was in the bushes, 102-2 K/D I know what I'm doing.
I'll be on tonight for some ARMA2 demo action! Dash said he'll show up too. We could use more players
