Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead

mine came today, just put it down to catch the footy after 7 hours, WOW this is just what i wanted, it's like the rFactor of fps shooters :)

half-way through the basics and had a goes with Armory and "my mission" quick editor kinda thing, it's just brilliant and stable it seems too with the 1.52 patch, not one crash.
 
Yea this is definetly rfactor of fps shooters. Wait until you dive into the editor. Basically the only boundaries of the game editor is your imagination!

you can make any type of mission you can imagine
 
This is exactly what I was hoping for, practically everything disturbing me in the original ArmA II has been rectified. Almost perect game, apart from:

When I try to create 'my own mission' in the scenarios, the maps don't allow me to move my insertion point or any other points on the map by dragging them as described in the manual. I'm basically always stuck with the same game here. On one map that even means I start swimming in the sea miles from land.

Has anyone come across this, or am I doing something wrong?

Must be you, or a bug, but have never ever heard of this, the editor was one good thing about it ;)

When you click a unit, for example a BLUFOR>MEN>RIFLEMAN unit, it should go from a shaded green to a brighter green, then you must hold-click on it (try it's center, the point where the name of the unit pops up) then drag.

Remember, make sure you have selected it first, then try to drag.

For more advanced mission making and a lot of time on your hands, see:

The source of many hours missing from my life! :)
 
@ jonneymendoza:
Thanks, I'll try that this evening. Seems a bit strange though. Zooming right in and then clicking on it would involve a hell of a lot of scrolling to get it to the right place if it works.
Or can you scroll out without losing the focus on the object while doing that?
 
Hurray! My copy arrived! :D

I agree, the first couple of missions are quite fun. Not quite as ambitious as ArmA2 vanilla but at least I don't have to restart the mission because the helicopter pilot "landed" in the trees
 
so my copy of Arma2 arrived from the rain forrest today and OA yesterday. now, do i install Arma2 then update to 1.07 and then install OA into the same dir? or not update Arma2 and let OA update it to 1.06 (1.06 patch is about 100meg bigger than 1.0-1.07 patch)?

or run then both in seperate dirs and not merge them at all? i want to using quite a lot of mods etc for Arma2 once i get going with it.

basically just asking what's the best way to install them both? cheers :)

edit; think i got it, Arma, OA, patch 1.52 for OA. that'll bring Arma2 to 1.07 and latest for OA. :)

Wonder if anybody can help me, I have just bought Arma2 and OA. OA works fine, but I can only play Arma 2 in windowed mode, it just blank screens if I try to run it in windowed mode or try to change from windowed mode to 1680x1050.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, what is more confusing is that I have played this game before on my pc fine!
 
I am still enjoying the single player at the moment. To be honest I never really play MP on Flashpoint because I cant be bothered to download and sort out all those mods that people load on. COOP is good fun though, cant wait to play some coop missions on OA.

No u dont. you can join and play with us during the week but you cant join and play with us when we do proper Ops/training. I diddnt have a mic when i first played with havoc. The interview is a **** as well

As far as i can tell no we dont play againts other clans yet. We do a PVP on friday nights amongst our selves and do encourage other clans to organise with us to play againts eachother.
