LoL !! Argh, I cleared out the top "X", but when the chopper came in it got shot down, no idea where from. I still seem to be on a wild goose chase, and the CDF officer wasn't much help.

Hehe, if starforce 1 was shot down you're now completely without helicopter support so its best to reload from an earlier save or get yourself some transport. Unfortunately when he crashed picking me up I had to walk my team 2km to the nearest town and steal some rusty old white Lada (although it did look funny when 4 special forces guys pulled up back at the US base some hours later in the Lada :D
The AI are good when it comes to combat, but never rely on them to drive/fly :( Even just getting one of my men to drive the humvee resulted in us all dead when he hit a log and drove off the side of a mountain :(

Spoiler below so don't read if you don't want to know what to do next!!

Once you've cleared/checked out the 3 red crossed areas on your map, wait an hour or two ('o' to bring up the ingame watch) and you'll be radioed to say that Lobotev has been spotted in a red car heading north of some town that I can't remember the name of, and that you should go intercept him. This is where I'm stuck, I've scoured every inch of every town, village and road north of there and have no idea where I'm supposed to find this guy :(
I even 'cheated' and reloaded to an earlier save, set up a roadblock north of the town and waited for the radio message, still nothing!
 
Quick question, does anyone know what the online anti cheat is?

Had a quick google but only comes up with stuff on the first ArmA, and that looks to be a custom type of thing.

I couldn't catch the guy, I got caught in some random base with rocket launchers and machine guns :/... Let me know if you manage to find him, i'm on to the new mission now. Fair few glitches seem to occur, like standing in walls during cut-scenes and things as the game goes on lol.
 
I seem to keep on getting stuck during missions :/... At the moment I am asked to find a woman, who drives a red hatchback (as every1 seems to), a man in his white truck, and a base. I've looked everywhere and cannot find any of them :/. Any1 who has done this please shed some light!

edit: found it all, having troubles with attacking the base, claims i have support which i do not have :P

How are the controls this time round as I was not a fan of the the previous overcomplicated setup. Has the mouse aiming movement been improved - if its anything like ArmA I will have to give it a miss.

You only had to change the floating point setting in options :P

What is the floatingpoint a sort of deadzone?

I re-installed ARMA yesterday day and updated it with the ACE mod and it's really good but I did start to get problems. After a while I could hardly hit anything where at the start it was really easy. I know about fade but I hadn't done anything that could have triggered it. Eventually the game moved to another part of the mission and could shoot correctly again.

I do wonder if fade does kick in from time to time and that's why some people hate it.

Its dead easy to see if FADE is active , lay down , aim at something close
10 - 20 feet fire a few rounds IF they are all over the place FADE is active.
Another test get into a vech and try driving , IF you do donuts its on

FADE , doesnt generally switch off/on , IF it activated you are buggered.

ACE TIP:
You are not stallone , you cant run for 1000's of meters , you run and your aim goes to poop (proportional to how much weight you are carrying) , you need to do short runs , stop catch breath then move on.
 
Was bored being unable to progress in the SP campaign so I've been making a load of fraps videos :)

Heres one of the AI crashing the chopper on the way to pick us up for extraction. I know I didn't pick the best place for the LZ but the first time he hovered there a few feet above ground just fine and we all boarded, attempts 2 - 6 he binned the chopper straight into the woods. I gave up after that!

Does anyone else get this issue?

Not me, but there are various threads about texture problems etc on the official BIS forums, may be worth a look. Have you tried the beta catalyst 9.6 driver? I posted them in the graphics forum here. May be worth a shot as they're apparently aimed at fixing some Arma 2 problems.
 
Hi all, I have this on pre-order and was wondering what the multi-player was like? Is it working yet on the German version? Many servers/players? Is there any ranking system like BF2/2142?

Never played Arma1 but was addicted to BF2 and 2142 for ages and need a new addiction!!!
