Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead

I really do think it's a shame there is so little pvp in this game, cannot wait for the project reality mod to come out, I enjoy the game in co op enough, but I just think it would be so much better in a pvp set up (done well)

Check out the BIS Forums, there's a number of polished PvP Clans out there. I myself have played for a number of them since the days of OFP. If you'd like, I could show you some :)
 
I've just downloaded the demo of this today, and have been enjoying it. Was wondering if you'd recommend me trying it? Its available for cheap enough these days, though I've never really played a war sim before.

Obviously it feels totally unlike the action shooters like cod and moh, but how long does it take to adjust to it?

Also, I assume the mod/user created content sector is pretty big for it?

Cheers!

Definatley worth getting if your enjoying the Demo. Its buggy in parts but its got a great singleplayer Campaign.

There are so many mods that I feel overwhelmed it's like being a kiddie in a toy factory.:D

And then when you learn how to create your own missions with its Editor its even better.

Cant go wrong getting this game to be honest sheer value for money !
 
I finally played a proper co op game the other day. It was pretty damn good, one of the best co op experiences I've ever had.
 
Truly amazing peice of work this game all of them been playing since ofp in 2001 and its just got better and better. got plenty of vids on youtube as well Vids . Must say as well camer.sqs is a fantastic bit of script within the game as well.

Good to see good old Infamous here from bi forums as well.

also wrote a review on the game if anyone is interested. Review
 
Finally got round to actually trying this out, only bought it at release :rolleyes:.

Havoc-Company site is dead, is the server/clan/etc as well?

Looking for a good server to play, with ACEX etc.
 
it still going just about. was very qiuet during the xmas and new year break as expected. dunno if it has picked up as they blooming booted me out of the forum for the 2nd TIME!!!
 
Hmm.. does anyone else find this less stable than Arma2?

By stable I mean when including mods. SixUpdater and AddonSync2009 don't seem to be installing everything?
 
I was expecting this too run like a dog, but the demo has run very smoothly. Trouble is if I bought it all I'd do is buy the British DLC and spend my time in the mission editor.

Certainly gave a better first impression than the original Arma did.

If anything for me, since arma 2 has launched it has progressively become smoother/more stable, until a stint for 4 months where I couldn't play without crashes but that's all over now.

I'd say if thing aren't being installed, it's either your problem, the servers sync problem, or addonsync. These are third party apps so... you'd have to go through everything for each of these apps and find out whats wrong.

What is wrong, what is it not installing?

OA is so much better optimized than arma2 vanilla, they did a good job in that respect

I get that, I've just never had Arma2 start with so many "missing file" messages before. Sometimes it won't even start the map because dependent files are missing. Happens for both AddonSync2009 and SixUpdater, on both MP and SP.
 
Possibly the wrong place to ask, but I nearly bought Arma II Arrowhead yesterday whilst in a games shop. Is it worth getting with a Q6600 (@3.4) and 5850 ? I like tactical games like BF2, but for fun, I am not into majorly tactical stuff that would put a game into the flight sim style genre (in level of detail).
 
Arma2 is a battle simulator. It's a far cry from games like BF2 :)

Fun can be had with it (which I suppose is obvious, given that people play it!), but it is by no means an Arcade game.
 
I saw a few arma servers recently that had scenarios setup like cops and robbers. Or there is deathmatch type gameplay set over a small town, that is about as arcadey as it gets and even then its 2 seconds to go prone and so on.
There is no jumping nevermind rocket jumps

bf2 is not a tactical game. its a slightly deeper arcade game, nice balance but very light element is tactics. Try PR mod for bf2 if you wanted more tactics they just figured out how to do 128 players on one server, fairly sure arma cant do that

Quad core does help arma a lot

Hi sorry for the late update, I'm not sure because of all the variables but if you are joining random servers with random mods, these errors are bound to pop up.

Although if you're joining one specific server that has a certain set of mods you MUST use, and ONLY use, I may be able to help more.
 
Like I said though, it happens in Single Player (SP) as a well as Multi-Player (MP) so it's not limited to which server I am joining. :)
