Ok, can anyone tell me how hard it would be to code a little function for AI that tells them if they are under heavy fire, enter the nearest building. If their target is to the X direction, go to the X side of the building. If the building has people entering it, take cover behind walls.
I bet someone releases a mod in the first week that does this.
Nonetheless, I'm still buying it. Is that ARMA 2 gold going to be more or less expensive than the two seperately?

if you didn't see it yet
Ah yes. It's interesting to see press in the new game.
I'm getting so excited now, I can't wait.
[highlight]No![/highlight]
Excitement is bad, I must be disciplined, combat ready and focused on all possible objectives.

I'm guessing it shall be cheaper than the pair together
preload starts tomorrow for sproket customers.

time to buy some cheap sunglasses
Sproket idea's preload is out, go download that shit!
This is being released on steam, right?
yeah, duno if you can buy it yet or preload though.
the game isn't really steam friendly though, updating is done through file patching, rather than file replacing
has the OA stryker got a shell ejection animation? a small detail but i think its the little things that make a game great
the ACE 2 MGS has the shell ejection
RHS BMPs I think have it,
what nations are included ?
US ARMY and Takistani (think Saddam) are the two main factions.
I think there are some PMCs,
There are insurgents,
There is the German KSK - apparently a gift to german members since they had to put up with the shitty release (REALLY BUGGY). Made by johnny, of course.
Some czech guys are also included.
[QUOTE=cr2142;22909149]what nations are included ?[/QUOTE]
US army
Takistani army (and I think some insurgents too)
UN troops (CDF forces with blue helmets and barets)
Some Czech forces
German KSK
Takistani Civilians
[editline]01:38AM[/editline]
Oh and the Takistani army leader is Mohammed Aziz

MK.16 is the scar[/QUOTE]
All of those guns don't matter when most of them are just variants with Ak47, AK47 w/ ACOG, AK47 w/ EOPOINT, AK47 w/ CQC.
Oh sweet, there's a stone weapon, AND a Lee Enfield.
My computer can't run this, but I think my brother's might be able to. Should I just get Operation Arrowhead or get both ARMA II and This?
Damn, fuck APB, this looks spectacular.
[QUOTE=PhoenixRSA;22910746]Oh sweet, there's a stone weapon, AND a Lee Enfield.[/QUOTE]
it's in ArmA 2 too... :smile:
this addweapon "stone" - i think
Is the Enfield in Arma 2?
no
you know something i never really understood, why can't they have decent reloading animations, is it an engine limitation of some sort or just them being lazy?
IIRC , you need to make a moving animation for the hands first... So they have to get in their motion capture studio,,,,,, a lot of work since it wasn't done that way in the first place, I think.
Plus, i think the weapons etc have to be reworked, magazines are internal proxies, so if you have a magpul mag and you put it in your M4 it's still a good ol 30rnd stanag.
edit:
i don't have a straight answer, but I guess BI is the place for that.
I'm pretty sure they could have different reload animations if they wanted to, they just didn't feel they were justified.
[QUOTE=Carnotite;22914242]I'm pretty sure they could have different reload animations if they wanted to, they just didn't feel they were justified.[/QUOTE]
Probably this.
[quote=BISFAQ]* Are there any plans to rework insane ugly animation system (connection to physics?) and more realistic weapon handling (e.g. movements, realistic hold)?
Yes, there are various plans in our insane ugly heads. However, a chief concern is the amount of work involved. Creating movements or animations for all available weapons in game (~300 in the combined product) would be gigantic task, and we seek to properly prioritise tasks on an effort-benefit basis.[/quote]
I wish they would update the core engine a bit more.
(Although, i seem to have noticed that 3rd party mod-makers don't seem as limited to the default animations and poses...i hated playing with the Steyr AUG in Operation Flashpoint and Arma because looking at my team just killed any sense of realism with their hand going through the barrel and or grenade launcher).
I get frustrated with some of the animations in the game, and the fact that weapons can't just have 1 slot, with the possibility for attachments, you have to have a different weapon for each slot. So instead of having M4...i have to have M4ACOG, M4ACOG/Grenade Launcher, M4ACOG/Grenade Launcher/Silencer/ etc.
Oh well, i guess that's nitpicking an otherwise pretty good game.
Especially in a time where realism seems to be going away in favor of arcade flavored action.
zargabad doesn't run well, takistan does though. AI uses buildings - trust me.
Hell, they even spawn in them if i place them near it (not inside them!!)

The hand grip issue is no longer an issue in A2. Take a look at the Australians At War Steyrs, they actually have an ingame option to switch from vert grip up, to vert grip down, with correct holding animation.
As for attatchments, it's entirely possible, it was done in OFP with various mods (most notably the FFUR-SLX mod) but it was done via a heavy handed scripting method, which while it works fine, it's not ideal and can be buggy. For the most part, I have no desire for being able to switch up attatchments in mission, especially from a realism perspective.
Is it just me or does this have crazy high system requirements?
