ARMA II BITCHESTHAT IS RIGHT. WE DOING THIS
This is a game that is not for pussies, as the easiest difficulty will rape you. Not even going to pull down your pants, just rape you.
So look at a trailer!

Yeah, that looks NICE.
How do you like to play? Singleplayer? No problem. If you get tired with the campaign, download or make your own custom missions with a fucking Mission Editor (Should be called Mission Maker).
Do you like Multiplayer? Shooting other real players? Or shooting other people with your friends? Gotcha covered!

So what do you want to do?
Snipe? We got you covered.
Lead a squad? We got you covered.
Drive some cars? Got you covered.
Drive some MLRS? Got you covered.
Tanks? APC's? VTOLs? Choppers? Gotcha covered.
What do you want to shoot with? Barret? AK47/m/107? Bizon? M16? M4? G36? Hell I'm not even going to bother, there's a list somewhere go google for that if you really want to know, there's a bunch of weapon you can shoot stuff with.
This thread is for discussing this game/simulator.
What did you think of that one custom mission? The campaign? Any tips for landing with the osprey in tiny areas?
We got to discuss this awesome game.
Also, if you think you suck at this game you need to keep at it and you'll notice quite quickly that you won't get killed by everyone immediately.

Oh well it's here now.
Also I like flying choppers and not many games get it "right".
Anyway if you guys are up for games I just got myself a new graphic card and cpu to run this so I'd very much like to join in.

That's why you play it with a good group of people.
Frankly I'm having more fun going MP with a couple of old friends who I know from OFP, but it's annoying to play a coop campaign and then get stuck thanks to a goddamn bug.

Guys.
Machineguns in this game are awesome. Especially if you get a scope for them.
I am right now
Right now
encoding the video I cut together for when I made this thread today.
YOU HAD A WEEK TO MAKE THIS THREAD.
but these gameplay videos look absolutely atrocious most of the time
that APC clipping like six feet into a solid stone wall
that guy in the truck who went from sitting to falling out when he got sniped just sort of blinked into a standing position and then fell through the door as it opened
all the models look like marionettes...
I'm reserving judgment that maybe this is just idiots recording bad examples, but so far I haven't seen any gameplay videos of people actually playing the game and making it look interesting.
But seriously, it might not be for you. You could check out the demo and see if you enjoy it.

Well at least it shouldn't be,
I mean you just pop on auto hover and gently go down.
The osprey has autohover, right? I haven't played around with it much.
also yea this is the kind of game that would be enjoyed by people who can stand waiting 3 hours in the same position behind binoculars reporting on troop movements in a nearby town before directing an A-10 to unload all over it and then directing an assault element towards it. Definitely not anything like BF2.

Although always starting with two rifles and the single use rocket launcher is kind of a downer, but once you get to the machineguns things start to happen!
I'm glad I wasn't completely wrong.
I am apparently too stupid to play this game.
Also, I guess it might be a good time to point out that first aid and dragging buddies isn't available off the bat in MP. At least, not from what I've played of it so far.
I am really, really missing the extensive attention to detail that ArmA had that ArmA II just doesn't have atm. Also not a fan of the new gear dialog: too simplified and the backpack system isn't as robust as I'd have preferred. Hopefully the ACE mod team can get a working build released soon, because right now, apart from improved eye candy, ArmA II doesn't really seem to bring that many other improvements.

I've had many of the same joys. Playing the tutorial on a difficulty higher than regular removes all waypoints. "Come over here and get your rifle!" Come over where? Who's talking to me? Where are you? How do I get a rifle?
