It was very buggy, they didn't pay much attention to details, the controls were difficult and confusing and they also took bits and pieces from old flashpoint and put them in ArmA. Lazy....wah1188 wrote:

So what was so bad about it? I was tempted to buy it a few times.

I imagine it is spilt down somewhat so the flags are all in a general area as is the action.DoctaStrangelove wrote:

I mean honestly, there would need to be 1200 players in that server for the map to not feel completely empty. The game would either be so infinately boring that you die of old age before you get to kill anything, so laggy that it makes you want to ram a metal spike through your face or both.
Yeah, usually it's either heavily vehicle combat so you would use the whole map, or the map for that particular round has "red zones" added in like bf2 so that you're confined to a smaller area. (at least in my experience from OFP, and I assume mission designers for ArmA would still use that formula)jord wrote:

Seemed to me they were mostly trying to show off the sound. I think it did need a little more action, but I thought the A-10 flyby sounded .Poseidon wrote:

It actually made me want to play the game less.Poseidon wrote:

If they actually improve that stuff, and smooth out the infantry movement so that CQB is enjoyable, Arma II could be my game of the year. If they don't, I probably won't get it.rdx-fx wrote:

I don't think that was the real issue. I'm sure people would've looked past the steep learning curve if the control wasn't so awkward. I felt like I was controlling ant worming its way through a Jello mold.DoctaStrangelove wrote:

It was pretty evident in ArmA that some of the best elements of OFP had gone with Codemasters after Bohemia split from them. ArmA just never seemed to have much of a direction, namely its story which wasn't up to much. Little things as well that had sort of been cannibalised from OFP and put in ArmA always made it seem like it was done for quickness and I have to say that having played ArmA and OFP again just recently, OFP had better gameplay at times and was much easier to play. The AI also seemed a bit more intelligent in OFP as well and OFP also seemed more tactical.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

I play ArmA on vistax64Sisco10 wrote:
I jsut hope the controls are intuitive. Back in the day, I was down to learn OFP´s controls-chaos, but nowadays, something as clumsy and unhandy is just cold coffee.
Voicecommands like in Endwar or hawx would rock the fucking shit!!
Never played arma though, cause it´s not running under Vistax64. The patch fixing that issue ist still beta, so here´s hoping it ever comes out
