someone should have put ocuk in there, the supporters edition came with every copy of arma released I think wasnt itI figured ages ago that many would be disappointed. The mainstream contigent that arrived from the mods released with last version. I think it just means you need to wait for some nice mods to arrive this version and then hopefully everyone will be happy.
The engine itself appears to be better graphics, Im not blown away but its not bad right. Not sure about physics improved, I flew a heli the other day and its ok; it stalls on hard banking (not on puppet strings) but its still lacking any special attention? They did improve releases last time

This, personally I think the game is excellent. The little details and graphics are amazing. I can't wait for the user made content etc which is what I am told Arma is all about (this is my first Arma aside from a small dabble in Dayz on Arma 2)
Yeah me and a friend ran around for a couple of hours on Altis Wasteland but there really is **** all to do!
Lol don't blame crap missions. Wasteland needs to be completely re-done for it to function correctly on Altis. There's plenty of content if you look at all the missions that are being released.
As for the people complaining about lack of campaign....this is arma. We all know what the campaigns are like. I do miss the ridiculous Scottish voice over from BAF though. Guess we have Marker and CAI for that though.

Oo Xcept1/Melbo.. On your mission 'Magic carpet'. How do I get the AI to fly the chopper so I can gun, if I give him the controls we just sink or don't take off lol.
Love the atmosphere of it btw

Join as the pilot but get into the gunners seat. Order the co pilot to get in and he will then respond to move waypoints you put on the map.
That should work unless the release has changed something and broke the mission. I'm only able to use the internet of my phone for a week or so can't update arma to check

I think I should elaborate rather than being a 'COD whinger' (Just for the record last cod I bought was bargain bin MW2, barely played it)
What I like so far:
Graphics, they are great.
The maps are fantastic, you can tell a lot of effort has gone into them.
The tool tips (you know the press 'h' for a description) are really good for newcomers
What I dont like so far:
On a personal note only, I feel that the weapons are a bit too space age to make me feel like its a combat simulator, I am aware that they may exist however they seem a bit too 'futuristic' for me.
As before, the lack of a campaign. I have played some of the SP missions fom the workshop but I feel that even if I had been made to wait another month, it should have had something at release.
Overall as has been said somewhere above this will all improve over the next few months, but I think its a bit cheeky to just release the game engine and rely on the community to pad it out until you're ready to finish it.

The community has always padded out the games, right from OFP. That is one of the major selling points for the game, as there will always be new stuff added. Even now people are releasing a shed load for A2...
The reason for no campaign on release, was that BIS changed the storyline, possibly something to do with their two employees who were arrested last year while photographing the island.
Got to agree with the lack of equipment though. On the good side, BIS are releasing the A2 kit to be officially merged with A3 soon..
