Otherwise it will be just a collection of modding tools, vehicles and weapons. So the only chance Arma2 has at breaking the horrible mediocrity of its predecessor is actually having an AI which at least gives a good impression. And when I couldn't make two Humvies properly follow each other in the desert I said fuck it. they probably implemented a good AI system to go along with it. Cities were larger, more city-like (and not a collection of cottages) so I thought hell. When I saw the first screens of Arma I was delighted because I saw that they decided to utilize complex urban environment. 2,0029,GAME,Uplay,Splinter Cell Conviction. Learn more about bidirectional Unicode characters. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters. But apart from upping the number of polygons, making bigger textures, sharpening up loop animations (oh, how I banged my head against the wall because of that.) they didn't do shit. This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. See, with an open world as huge as that, you could stage almost any combat scenario. That is the main reason Arma sucked for me. The problem began when BAS released their famous Delta Force addons and I tried to make some urban combat scenario. I went through the campaign in about a week and then just fooled around with tools, fooled around in multiplayer with custom-made missions and good company.Īnd for some strange reason it didn't bother me that the AI was taken straight from a WW2 naval combat game. I had the original OFP on my harddrive for 2+ years.

We play on, Arma 2, Arma 3, Arma 2 OA, ACE (sometimes with ACRE), Invasion 1944, Hell In The Pacific, Dayz, Swedish Forces Pack, and Vietnam The Experience. The Lancashire Fusiliers clan members range from a wide variety of nationalities, but we all speak English. On the other hand: The AI will occasionally still walk through solid objects and everything else may or may not be pretty much the same I'm not sure my internet's been too spotty to really read everything today. Information The BEF is an Arma 2 and Arma 3 Clan, we are casual when we are not playing realistically. Making the whole game 'bigger' was #2 I think.Īs for ArmA2, from reading BI's forum it seems that their 'micro AI' actually works so the AI can actually navigate urban environments now, and the AI doesn't headshot you from a km away anymore. The number one thing I recall being wanted by pretty much all parties when we switched from OFP to ArmA was more turret spaces, for both mods and so base vehicles can actually have the extra weapon or two they've been missing. The only thing 'harder' about ArmA is that aircraft are a fucking bitch to fly because of touchy flightmodels and shitty control fuckup that happened with the addition of shitty leaning, which nobody fucking needed or wanted. For one, the nametags were only on the lowest difficulty (Not that you could tell what difficulty you were on because of the terrible GUI), nothing was pin-point accurate (Except the AI when aiming at you), and what made it brilliant were the terabytes of user content that was generated over it's lifetime.
