btw with this 1.03 patch is the game now playable, no broken missions etc?


This is ArmA2, you dont ever get fully working missions Razz
You have to revert some missions or checkpoints no matter what Wink

Btw, I'm having 1.03 and it makes one character necessary to be killed in order to advance, immortal. Call that broken Razz

I live in the 3rd world and havent bought a game in 4 years. But I'm considering buying this.

Been playing games for years and it's the first time i've been forced to think in real life terms and to think ahead on so many levels, as opposed to exploting the weaknesses in computer AI/game design.

Lol good one. ARMA2 is absolutely worth buying. Devs working hard on patching it. Now this game eats all my time and few patches later it will be much, much better.

Arma2 is not worth buying in the state its in right now.
As some has pointed out, after a bunch of patching it might be.
But i wouldnt hold my breath, look how long it took for them to get arma into shape.
If i want a broken game i can just play Daikatana for free...

My biggest gripes with Arma II as it stands now is:

- Menu system is extremely awful and badly done! Everything should have been collated to 2 or 3 menus, not 10+, and every item should have a shortcut (right now, most don't and you have to scroll manually). Giving simple orders is a bitch and takes too much time. (maybe there's a mod that fixes the menu system, or its possible to edit it?)
- The quality of the squad AI is poor. Way too often they do stuff they aren't supposed to, or don't listen to the orders they are given. They often wander out of formation or are slow at responding. Sometimes they kill a lot, but mostly they are just killed. As a result, I usually "park" my squad some distance from the action to keep them alive.
- Coop is fun but useless, there's triple the amount of bugs, often caused by desyncs.

Other than that, just minor annoyances, such as occassional script and mission bugs. But the above ones are definitively a show-stopper. Hopefully BIS will come out with more patches soon.

Why use crack?

I'm still using image in DT with Yasu cloacking in Win 7. Don't tell me you haven't upgraded to Win 7 yet. No use in sticking with XP or Vista, something everyone should know by now.

I just leav em at the base and buy seems some new units that can die and they dont give a shit Smile

You're absolutely right Shole. Xp has been over-developed for years and years now whereas windows 7 is very new so drivers f.e. are not optimal written for gfx cards in most cases and vista has it's well-known disadvantages like being slow.

Vista being slow? christ where do these people come from lol... Vista as it is now was at on better if you know what your doing hardware and OS wise compared to XP.

No offense Wink Well my experience is with f.e. installing a game that it can take ages for vista whereas xp installs it a way faster. And loading the most applications goes faster here in general then vista. ( i have a dual boot set up )

And why is xp dead. It's still supported for companies and i don't know any kind of software which is not supported by xp Smile

And sry for being way off-topic ...

XP is also supported by Microsoft until 2014 with patches and hot fixes, so far from dead.

I switched my perfectly running Vista x64 install the moment Win 7 RC1 got out and have not regret it since.
XP has been over-developed for years and aged and that means they focus more on the new OS like Vista and Win 7. Why do you think Arma runs better on Win 7 anyways (or at least has better compability)
It's like sticking with MacOS Tiger when you do have the ability and hardware to upgrade to (Snow) Leopard.
If I read good stuff about a new OS then I will certainly try it.

Vista isn't slow but its very recourse hungry and thats what makes Win 7 more attractive (to me Win 7 is a combination of Vista & XP)
I can go on about this but this is an Arma2 thread so either use Win7 which seems to run best with the game (and is able to use image method) or keep using an aged OS and nag about incompability issues.

No offense but why do you still stick with a release candidate version when the RTM is out now for about one month especially when you say you like to use new stuff Smile

Some would rather NOT have to bother with bypasses and such for the RTM, when RC works perfectly fine and is free with updates and no activation issues till march 2010.. Maybe thats why?

And on another note you being 18 and all, seems to leave a gap and rather a large one in knowledge id say when youve not even been out of diapers that long... Your preaching to ex-server admins and god knows what else on these forums.. Maybe as a new forum member you should take some time to settle in before you open your flood gates Very Happy

Xp maybe supported its still pants now compared to vista64 and win764 period. Parallax maybe a fan of your xp fest but saying your applications run better in xp is a joke, I know this to be perfectly true as using decent apps like 3d ones and digital image applications they all run a ton better in vista64 of even better again in win764..

Most people Ive found on the good old web here tend to stick to xp not because its good but because they cant really either a) use a better OS due to hardware issues (not having the money to upgrade). Or B) they are using parents machines and there is no way on earth daddy and mommy will let them fuck about with it Very Happy

I doesnt matter if u are using vista or win7. x64 or not. This game craps out so many times it deserves an award. The savegames gets corrupt i dont know how often...

Im seriously goin back with this thing to the store. I sure as hell understand why CM kept the license and didnt want their name stuck to a pos game..

Im using Ultimate Vista x64 and ive never needed to upgrade to a "experimental" OS just to get a game running properly. Yes, win7 is "experimental" like all other M$ OSes before in the first year.

And u can just use google to search around for alot of different tests thats been made to see the which OS gets most FPS out of a game. And theres not that big difference between vista and win7 as anyone would think.
Thats why im keeping vista...

Then its something else for you then maybe? Because ive never had a save game crap out on me, no crashes to desktop, no odd errors to speak of etc. Im not denying people have problems here with arma2 but you only ever hear the people that do, but that is life eh...

But again did u ever follow arma 1? if so why are u suprised of the progression with fixes and so forth? You hell shouldnt be as its pretty much the norm in most games releasing utterly not fit for use, but again with Bohemia arma 1 was no diff and still got fixed up..

One should not have to really purchase anything that is not up to scratch. but go save that speech for your MP rally etc or some other complaining area of opinion voicing...

This is how it is today, if you dont like it stand up take a bow make a diff somehow, unfortunatley you will FAIL, cause nobody does that kind of thing no more in life we all sit on our fat asses repeating mistakes be it normal shit or purchases from shops and supliers.....

Take it on the chin and follow suit like a good little sheep Very Happy

Game works quite OK with the latest patch but that planned expansion will probably change things a bit as it's stand-alone so now Bohemia Interactive Studios (BIS) will need to support two titles which makes patches and such a bit erratic, or at least that's how I see it, having it work like the ArmA 1 expansion which basically worked as a official modification might perhaps have been a better idea.
