My god, what a buggy unfinished series ArmA is. The first one was unplayable for the most of first year after release, and yet against everything I know I went out and bought ArmA2. Came home, installed it, patched it, played it - whoosh first mission, first uncurable bug.
After all main missions in first chapter, there I am on the mission to find evidence of atrocities and destroy an extra target. Unit reached the hill, I destroyed the target with laser guide, then destroyed another, then destroyed tank, killed few extra enemy soldiers around the hill and returned to my unit. And we sat there pretty. My seargant. My rifleman. Me. Our machine gunner. I look at them, they look at me. 5 minutes. 10. Nothing.
I check the map, tasks, all done, find evidence says 2/3. So off I go into the forest to find the thrid evidence. "2, return to formation" screams my seargant. "Where are you?" I request. "Here here and so" he respons in code. I check the map, it's the same place where I left them. So I return to formation. And we sit there. All pretty. I do my pedicure. Rifleman is looking at me, kind of horny. Seargant, with face of a stoned blow up doll won't take his eyes off me. 5 minutes, 10 minutes. Nothing.
So off i go to the woods to see wickerman, and they just keep calling me, every 2 minutes, to return to formation. But screw that, I think, there is more to Chernorussia than this, let's do some tourist stuff. I wander off for miles, to the town, to the light house, every now and again I encounter some random enemy soldier at which point my unit shows a ghost presence. "Enemy in front of US!" someone screams. I look around. "WTF do you mean us? You are 5 miles out on the hill?!" "Providing cover!" screams my seargant. Now that is some weed....
I go back to them after an hour. We sit there pretty. Trees. Grass. Stones. Rifleman looking horny. Seargant slightly stoned. All pretty. Nothing...
