Anything to report? I thought that the Sahrani map was a lot of fun in Arma1

I found this video online - it looks like more goodness from OFP2. Game is looking more promising all the time. http://www.caveofdistraction.com/

The way I wound up here in ARMA was interesting - I used to be involved with one of the first online multiplayer flightsims - it was called Warbirds, and it spawned off a lot of interesting things...I know some of the players developed some of the first VOIP applications, another wound up working for Gearbox, things like that. Anyway, I still lurk on the left over boards after the game essentially withered on the vine when Imagic bought it. Someone was talking about ARMA 1 & 2 and I wound up reading Dyslecksi's tactics guide, and info about the ACE mod for ARMA 1, so I was pretty interested in that aspect (small unit tactics), especially after playing with ray guns on Planetside. Anyway, I liked the high fidelity-ness (ech) of the Arma troops - not so enthused about the modelling of the A/C and the Armor. So I would definitely be interested in learning more about the tactical side of things. God knows I need to learn alot, I keep doing really stupid Rambo things in Domination.

I think I misspoke- I was wondering if actual (real life) AT rockets are really that accurate. I honestly don't know - they do seem to fly laser straight in game. Morgan - Perhaps you're right and I'm missing the point of the teamwork. My experience with team based tactical games like this one is limited - closest I came was a couple of months playing planetside, but without voice coms. My learning curve is steep and to the satisfaction of getting a kill with small arms for me is still pretty high.

I usually have to grab a rifle with cross-hairs. Usually a M16 or M203 ACOG, a SMAW with a couple of rounds. I then proceed to go forth from the MHQ and soak up bullets while the rest of you run around killing the enemy and reviving me.

I'm not a big fan of the air cover being all over the place either. I like the infantry aspect of the game, and enjoy being dropped off by the helicopters with occaisional appearances by the heavy aircraft support. Sometimes it gets to the point where most of the targets in towns are gone by the time I spawn at an MHQ and hoof it in. Not so much fun at that point. Also a minor point, but are shoulder fired rockets REALLY that accurate and deadly against armor?

Hi guys- I've fired the AR15 quite a bit in the distant past, but never the AK. Has either one of you fired the 6.5x39mm Grendel round - how does that compare to the two you mentioned above?

That was awesome. I'm glad that more videos from the engine of OFP2 are coming out, I was starting to think that there was no man behind the curtain. Also nice to see a firm release date on the vid as well. I am now officially excited

Hi All, Fish here Just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed playing on your Arma2 server for the last couple of weeks. I looked at a few others but mostly found free - for - alls and liked the more relaxed atmosphere here. Thanks for letting me play with you all - if I've accidentally screwed up now and again please just chalk it up to a lack of experience on my part, and call me out on it. -Fish
