I like this game ( I think) but its being ruined for me by a few things, mainly when scoped the enemy warp all over the place meaning to hit them is just pot luck, this is the same for everyone though as I understand it as everyone i've asked has the same issue.
secondly the AI cheats, last night in game I killed the rear tank in a column as they were moving away, I jav'd it from about 800metres, I bobbed up from a raised mound on a ridge and dropped it whilst it was moving away from me and bobbed down and crawled out of site to behind a house, the front tank then ( i assume) then swung its turret round and shot me through the house not even with a shell though, it was bullets.
Later that round we were heading to a LZ in a blackhawk and we were low behind a hill line out of sight, we had a buy on the ground in the village passing details on and he said every one of the AI armour was tracking us with turrets from behind the hill.

As i said to a friend who i told this game about. ITS NOT a pick up and play first person shooter.
Its far from it.
It is a war simulator. You don't just run into the enemies and start shooting. Sometimes it can be 15 - 30 minutes before you can even move.
I tell you what, go on a server tonight called GOL tonight. They take the game very very seriously and it is so much fun.
I don't really like the single player campaign but.... playing online makes the game worth £50 in my opinion.
I had a game yesterday on the server with all of the people in the clan. It was like going to war.
We were flown in by a Black Hawk all covered arcs and moved in on the enemy. We were spotted after our fighter plane bombed the two t72 tanks.
Needless to say we came under fire, lost a few men, had to retreat behind a wall took out a few enemy and dragged my injured leader back whilst waiting for the reinforcements and medic to be flown in.
Unfortunately the enemy flanked us and our team was anahilated bar our leader who had received medical attention. We then flew back in the black hawk and parachuted in. We met up with our leader and gave him support and managed to get to the enemy base. We lay down some fire and took out majority of the enemy. However, we didnt realise the clever enemy AI flanked us from the right and the base was to the left. They took me out and we had no more respawns sadly.
But hell a game like that makes it so exciting. It lasted 1 hour and 44 minutes!
Just play on the server this evening and you will see why this game is amazing!
Type GOL in on the search bit and you will find it.
Oh! get teamspeak aswell.
EDIT: the controls side of things i feel they are great and add realism to the game as does headbob.
If it was like CS Source etc it would just be another shooter.

AI doesnt really cheat as such, if you used the javalin then the smoke trail from the projectile would have been visibile from a large distance. So they would have known your general direction.
If you moved around then chances are because they were concentraiting on your direction you were spotted and they just open fired at your location with a barrage of bullets. Effectively blind firing in your direction.
If it were the tank then dont forget that tanks have optics for firing long range, and seeing through objects, so to them you might of been very visibile.
I know the UK tanks use smoke to drop visibily to 0 and switch on infa red/heat sensing gear to pinpoint targets.

How would the above system do for this game?

Or would that be better?

I'll try downloading it through steam tonight then. Thanks.
i have been have issue's with " arma has stopped responding " ....i have tried the latest patch and seems worse now so have gone back to original ...seems loads better but still crashes once in a while ....
why do they release games when they have not been fully tested !!!!
by the way im using vista 64 bit which seems to suffer a lot with these crashes by what i have read

Game runs best on a quad core CPU so think about swapping either chip for a quad. Also i think a single 4890 will run better than GTX 250 is Sli.

karlos,
You overclocked the vidcard at all ??
If so drop the clocks a bit, if you've not clocked it ignore
Also, cpu clocked ? (apply the above)
This heat spell can account for a lot of problems especially with overclocked gpus/cpu's
Other than the above i aint got anything to suggest
I have run vista x64 for yrs, only time i had that type of error was when i clocked a gpu and the cooling was naff lol
Hope ya get it sorted

Why have multiple saves but you have to restart a mission from the begining if you get to the end of it.
Eg you can not go back to any missions you have finished and saved. Only the start of each mission.

From from they have said on the steam forums, sli/xfire support is coming. I am confident it will be soon and will be awesome. Am on a gtx295 and am expecting some issues with fps rate until both gpu's are being used by the game. Then it's gonna be rocking.
graphics card is not overclcoked , cpu is but why should that be a problem when all my other games run fine , by what i have read on the net there are a lot of people having issues with this game running on vista 64bit ....seems to run fine on vist 32bit .karlos,

by the way , the cpu is not even going anywhere near 50% usage ....so temps not going above 53c even in this hot weather

1.2km, nice shot, i remember playing the scoutys sniper mod for bf2 and the longest shot i ever got was around 1km, also used to love the sniping in the delta force games, as they done a decent job of recreating actual bullet trajectorys and scope use.
