It's been a while, but after seeing this thread reactivated I loaded Arma 2 again and had a blast.

Then I went and installed ACE 2, and immediately noticed that the crosshairs had gone, making actuall hitting something a trial and error thing.

Is this a feature, or is there something wrong? The Wiki is being replaced at the moment, so I can't get the info.

By the way, I then loaded Arma 2 without ACE 2, and the crosshairs work there.

Oh, and I've installed the latest patch, so that's not a cause (if there is one)

Ace 2 is realism mod so crosshairs would be a no no. Iron sights or looking down your scope is the way to go.

Wow, that's really hardcore. Thanks for the info.

i've installed it but not sure what differences i can see. what does this mod change besides the cross-hair and the splash screen lol.

 

[neoboy]

Some new equipment, armies are slightly split (like USMC, Army, Air Force), new sounds, new smoke effects and such. At least that's what I noticed so far.

Just put 3para into the filter and you will find it, the server is usually quiet until around 7pm on weekdays. we usually play on veteran setting and if you do pop on please disable ACE as it seems to crash the Gametracker servers for some reason.

There's a new medic system, can use backbacks, can change the sensitivity on NVGs, stamina system, back blast on rockets etc. Lots of little changes.

 

[neoboy]

Well I still have no clue how CTI mode works but starting to grow fond of the Hold mode. After failing a lot with heavier weapons and rocket launchers and such found out that sniper rifles suit my style a lot more. Where most arcade game require snipers to have a sort of a "hold back" gameplay AND excellent reflexes the latter is not necessary here. Find a nice little place, bit a patience, get some kills and then switch position, rinse and repeat works nicely. Although only quibble I have is that it still runs pants on my PC after turning almost everything down. So consequently I'm having problem with IDing targets as they all look same from distance.

is ACE mod compatible with varuous islands?

i am downloading loads of different islands to try. cant way!

 

[d|b]

So has the ARMA2 SP experience been patched up? Is this game good and how would the MP compare to BFBC2?

 

[neoboy]

MP is totally different to BFBC2, can't really compare the two.

 

[Kethridge]

Am looking at buying this game once my new system is up and running.

Arrowhead an exspansion pack for this game is coming out this year I believe.

EDIT: And I see you have a thread for that .
