**spoiler** Need mission help.
has anyone completed the Manhattan part of the campaign yet? I'm stuck on the part where you have to attack the main base. I'm currently standing just outside of the base, with people telling me they are ready to go. But no option to select any help.

I'm on the same part, mainly because I've had to restart this mission literally 15 times due to bugs, corrupt saves etc :rolleyes:
I've just had the support unit arrive, they're about as much use a chocolate teapot and proceed to get themselves wiped out in about 60 seconds flat. I have no ammo (and theres nowhere at base camp to top up), no artillery (vanishing artillery bug), no chopper support (vanishing chopper bug) and somehow have to defeat a T72 tank and an APC (and a bunch of infantry, but they're not the problem!). Frustrating is an understatement :mad:
To be honest I've pretty much given up, I've spent hours and hours trying to do this bit and every time the magic super-vision APC nails one of my team through 500m of dense trees/smoke/cover and its game over, I'm just going to wait for a patch.
Good luck let me know if you get anywhere!! :)

On a different note, any chance we could actually keep this thread on topic and not a journal of whos copy arrives at what time on friday, 'omg just got my despatch email' etc etc?
Didnt think so!

Previous incarnations have been good so don't see why not. OpFlash and Arma are an aquired taste really. Most of the time you might be fighting against the bugs. The missions can be bloody hard too. But you feel great achievement when you finish a level.

Will buy on release if it gets 85+ reviews from the big boys,
does it have any online aspect ?

The online aspect is the best part of it. As many players as the server can handle if the mission allows for it. Right off the bat the main campaign is playable in coop mode.

The second strongest modding community of any game series, I would say elder scrolls ranks first. The amount of extra content, units, guns, vehicles, missions, new gameplay mechanics that will be made will give the game unlimited replayability.

As for the reviews, there will be a demo out so you can get a general grasp of the gameplay first hand.

Thats a worry of mine, is this one of those games where I can snipe someone from 600m away and all the AI magically know instantly where I am?

Or, one of those games where I can creep up on people and then suddenly they spin around 540 degrees and shoot me straight in the face as if they are clairvoyant?
 
I'm keeping at it and I've had no malor glitches that restarts didn't fix after a while, but there are some very amusing quirks:

I was playing a chicken (honestly!) and just wandering about when I got the 'mission' to run about 300 meters without getting shot (by the farmer?) in 20 seconds. I mean, this thing runs at 2 miles a fortnight, what the hell? Even so, great fun all in all.

Did you complete Episode 6... without cheating? :p

I played it over and over with a friend, but we kept dying. We gave up in the end because it was a very, very, very long mission.

The ability to save mid-game would have made all the difference. :(
 
i am going to Pre order this game online ? where do you think is best so i get it on the release date? was going to try Play.com but ive pre ordered games before that are released on a friday and i dont recive them till the Monday sometimes

?

Cheers!

First question:
Depends on how well you are consealed and /or if the dude you shoot has any other members in his group nearby

The AI have ears , if the hear you , you are buggered

I am on about those moments in games where the AI appear to have clairvoyant abilities. Played many games where I have been concealed in foliage, shot someone who was 600m away and watched as the people stood around him at the time immediately head in my direction and start shooting directly at me. Does Arma2 do this?

In regards to the times in games when the AI suddenly spins round and immediately shoots you in the head when you are approaching them, I could understand that happening occassionally if they are hearing you, but not every single time. At least not unless each enemy soldier has been genetically engineered with Steve Austin hearing. Does that happen in Arma 2?

Those are my biggest two concerns, would be handy to know from some who have played it whether or not the AI has clairvoyant abilities.
