Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead

Well it's nothing like CoD so if you're looking for a similar experience you're going to be bitterly disappointed.
 
mmm I refired up Arma 2 to see whether I should buy OA

and again was a mixture of amazement and utter disappointment - disappointments in (this is Arma 2)

Performance - not good at all (Q6600 @ 3.55 gig, SSD drive, 6 gig RAM, 4890 OC)

Bugs bugs - landed sideways with a parachute into the ground - took about 40 seconds for hte parachute to finally stop oscillating and let me onto the ground !

Ejected from a UAV ? (???!")

so a bit undecided on OA
 
Still waiting for mine too :( . .

"THREE. get. in. TRUCK at. ONE OCLOCK...." "THREE..... NEGATIVE!"

There seems to be something wrong with your install, and although I have the hardcopy version, it should be very similar.

When I install OA over Arma II, it gets integrated into the original and works as a single package which is run from the 'ArmA 2 Combined Operations' icon, that you should now have on your desktop.

It calls the 'arma2OA.exe'.

Hmmm. I just let Steam do it's stuff - there is nothing about a 'combined ops' icon or anything. In fact, I've just seen it mentioned on the forum - apparently it's going to be coming to steam shortly which explains why I have two game icons here. I might grab that beta OA patch however, see if that helps.

Edit:- There's a 'combined ops' option only via steam for me, which is a bit of a pain as I have to click that in order to access it - however, that said, it does fix the sound problems I am experiencing if I run Arma II standalone. At least I can play the stuff until they release the new patch.

Not being a part of havoc myself, but another group, I can't rate highly enough how important it is to join a group in the name of FUN!.

This game turns shades of day to night when you play with a proper group, using the correct mods that make the game better A.C.E, anyone who doesn't use ACE isn't worth playing with, proper made missoins with enhanced scripting, a working comms system/structure and much much more.

You're not helping yourself if you play johhny solo on some domination server.
 
i was pretty disapointed in the performance wise of OA, a lot of microstutters which made the game unplayable. it was in mission 3 with the tanks.

Graphical wise it was like the Operation Flashpoint trees and bushes, this was to reduce the amount of processes the game would have to use. i ended up getting frustrated and started playing defense grid.

reading a lot of forums a lot of people are having problems with this game on higher end pc's with stuttering and low FPS.
 
Ive got the game to of course I love ARMA hehehe.

I haven't played it much but it seems to run better than ARMA2 did on release.

Have you lot tried the latest beta yet that's meant to make it on par with ARMA2 1.07 which I might add runs very well for me.

I haven't played OA much and not with th beta patch to so cant comment hope to get into it today tho.

well i tried the new beta drivers for Nvidia, slight performance increase, went on the Arma 2 forums seems to look like it's the actual game not the rig itself causing the problem, i think the load is mostly on the CPU and supposed to be split between the GPU & CPU (correct me if im wrong). also other people having problem with SLI support.

why is it publishers release games that are still buggy, id rather they delay the game and done formal testing, than just releasing a game that causes the game to be sluggish. so guys unfortunately we will have to wait for a new patch which is frustrating.
