Ok so I've been playing arma II now for the last week or so and although it's a great game in theory, the bugs are just unacceptable.

I was starting mission Manhattan when I was supposed to report to the guy on the gate, only to find him dead and unable to continue. I ended up restarting the mission and being told to report to Captain Shaftoe, only to find him dead too !

So I restart again and finally get my missions. I get told I have helo and artillery support so I spend a whole day getting through the missions in sequence only to find when I get to the main Chedaki base I have no arty support !

I have tried and tried to complete the mission without the artillery support but it's impossible. I've managed to take out a foot patrol with 2 members of my team and popped a 40mm right on top of the main group of insurgents but the tank and apc just waste me in seconds.

Im seriously thinking about binning the game all together I'm that frustrated.

Game developers should get simple things like this right before they go to market, I'm getting p****d off having to wait for patches just to get an enjoyable experience out of the game when they already had my money.

Anyone else experiencing the same problem and has anyone managed to neutralize the base with just a squad of small arms ?
 
err seriously, why on earth are you playing single player?

Get your butt on havoc-company.com at put an app in.

Arma 2 is all about multiplayer 30-60 man co-op's.

I havent even loaded singleplayer lol
 
I never know what the hell I'm supposed to be doing in multiplayer. No idea if I need to use a mic or a headset or just run around shooting stuff, I'm a total noob at online gaming. I played unreal tournament and a few COD games online but didnt really enjoy it.

I have just switched arma 2 clan and joined havoc company last month. Do you want to play it semi- seriously?

We train on thursday nights, and play a sunday co-op with 25-35 guys on a proper mission. Last Sunday we had another clan who specialise in armoured support play with us, the tank shells screeching overhaed was amazing!

I don't know a lot about arma 2 compared to a lot in this clan but they are all normal guys, not mega geeks that helped me learn what to do without shouting.

You have bought a game based on multiplayer experience, seriously come on the havoc-company.com website and apply to join, they will teach you how to play, if you don't like then just say so and that will be that :p

Cool, cheers for the invite. I'd love to play multiplayer properly, I'm in the Royal Anglian Regt transport company (territorials) in real life so I love my war games and have a tactical mind so once I learn the ropes of ArmA II I should be able to pwn the competition !
 
Lol, patch it right up b4 u play single player too, as u cant use your saves after a patch. But get online. its the shizzle

Sounds like you would fit right in!
 
Havoc company will be playing both, official sunday ops on arma 2 fully for a month then a mix between the two.

Mostly waiting for mods to be fully supported on arrowhead.

Who is Havoc ran by these days? I remember the clan name :)
 
ACE2

I know this isn't strictly related to the topic, but has anybody else had trouble with the Six-Updater tool for Arma2?
Most of the servers(including Clan Havoc) require mods such as ACE2 to play, so I'm a bit stuffed if this doesn't work.
Downloaded the latest version of Six-Updater(link on the Havoc website), and have also tried with an older version. Both do the same thing.

Nothing really installs. This is on Win7 64bit Professional. Have done run as admin, and it creates a folder in the correct location(have tried several). But it doesn't create any desktop shortcuts or anything on the start menu, and there aren't any executables in the Six Updater folder.

Can't find anybody mentioning this issue on the website, so thought I'd ask here as you are all pretty good at this kind of thing.

Many thanks in advance
Tony
 
Doh. Figured it out, and it wasn't difficult. Sorry to have wasted your time.

Run as Admin caused the shortcuts to be placed on the admins desktop, and not mine.

oops
