Lets face it. Reg A2 is pretty bad.

However.
What we should do is 2 different modes: Real and Game.
Game has a hitpoint based damage system, no wind, etc.
Real has the zone based damage system, wind on rounds, batteries for the NVGS, etc.

Also, it needs new features.

Tactical flashlights
Lasers
real-life scopes that actually tell you useful info ingame
WIND
an accurate AI that moves while it shoots. Doesnt go prone the second it sees hostiles and frankly

IT TAKES 50,000 M16 BULLETS for ONE HIT. SIMULATE THAT. RATHER THAN 5 BULLETS FOR 7 HITS.

Skill sliders that make a difference.

Also, give the Ex a series of mission templates with the things we like to do such as go in kill some playa and extract. that would make my missions SO MUCH FASTER and FUNNER.

All this expansion needs are new features.

What a load of crap, those answers were just so uninformative!

To hell with BIS, you've released a half finished game only to throw another at us a couple of months later that will bring in a few gameplay updates and thats all it will really be.

What really shits me is the hitpoints system. Last time i checked the hull integrety of an Abrams MBT was not based around a hitpoints system, im sure the amount of penatration depends on the amount of force being applied to the surface, wether it being an explosive force or a projectile moving at speed. Heres how it's done BIS:

Will AI be conscious of their role and act differently depending on it (e.g. machinegunner acts differently than rifleman)?
Jennik: The AI already acts differently depending on the weapon they carry in ARMA2, so, what would you expect?

Apart from being a rather rude answer to give, i havent once seen a machinegunner act like they are suppsed to, like for example if your squad was attacking an enemy position your machinegunner would run to a good cover position and start laying down serious suppresive fire to allow the rest of the team to move in for the kill. Or maybe even an AT soldier actually taking priority in killing a tank over another enemy soldier.

Can the AI still aim/Target through trees ,bushes,houses,mountains...
Jennik: Nonsense

Ha! thats a joke because i once hid behind a house while an enemy jeep unloaded all of its ammo trying to shoot me through it, then all i had to do was walk around the corner, right up to the crew and shoot them, they didnt even try to drive away or get out.

Will the campaign be free roaming open world like Red Harvest?
Jennik: What would you expect? The corridor and level based maps as in other FPS?

At least they work like they are intended too!

Really at the end of the day BIS just shoved this out the door so they could get as many sales in as they could before Flashpoint:Dragon Rising hits the scene.

Also maybe if they hadnt spent so much time on making the graphics so fantastic (which was a waste of time because no one can enjoy them being that they are so demanding) and focused on realisim and stability then there wouldnt be so many pissed off people who spent money on such a poor effort.

the warfare is good to have there, its pretty fun cause you can choose what type you want to play as. most importantly like I mentioned before

"IMPROVE STABILITY ISSUES" arma2 works like shit even on lowest gfx on my pc, it just doesnt matter if I play it on high or low settings

It’s true, Bis is trying to sell a new game to people who are still waiting to play Arma2 in good conditions.

THAT is the nonsense!!!

Please solve bugs, Linux server, campaign and that damn poor performance on high end PC… and after that you will win a lot of money with a solid reputation and good feedback for selling great extensions pack, gold editions …

We all hope they change this bad attitude.

Other sad felling:
This is suppose to be a combat simulation, not a game to building base, making money, creat stupid AI like this bloody warfare, you can spend 30 minutes without see any other players.

I am still hoping to get the fun we had when we were playing St Pierre, Desert Rats and good CTF without 3rd view with good gamers and team.
But this is not subject here... :(

Icewind you put it in one m8e the Red Harvest Campaign to me wos just bull s**t the warfare stuff to me did not fit into the SP campaign and now thay r saying that this is to be a stand alone game instead of an Arma 2 addon what the hell r thay thinking I've been playing since the first OFP and i still have OFP Gold and arma and QG and amra2 and now we may have to pay for a new one no no not me

Theres a lesson here folks...
If your lucky enough to have your game supported by a leading industry developer, treat them like fucking GODS. Dont do what Bis did and end up like this!

I have to exquise myself I dident read forward to the end.
for exsample:
It will be more like Resistance (or you buy, or you´re "out" from the REAL game) or is more like Queens Gambit (some nice additions,mainly in the SP part, but not mandatory) ?
Jennik: Yes, I would rather compare it to Resistance too.

with this I can live. I just realy hope all arma2 player could then join our OAH game server with out having OHA if we play arma2 stuff. Off cause not if we play with the same game OAH. I wish this time the linux version comes out with the game if not pz dont release it. or sell it extra if you need the money so mutch I persoly will pay it.Like I sayed I dont care about the money. I only dont like to get cheated.
Like this funny words.
Can the AI still aim/Target through trees ,bushes,houses,mountains...
Jennik: Nonsense
He really should play the game first before he answer this. I was playing the (amazing good looking game up from the knowing bugs btw never switch in helicopter the sit with out a parachute ) game ArmA2 and the AI was constanly shooting me after a wall even if I was going to the other side of the wall. But maybe was just me and im the only one get the feeling AI shooting through trees bushed and houses of cause the cant hit be behind a house but they traking but maeby the only smelling me god knows mabey its really nonsense like Jennik says. Or just nonsense what he says about it chose yourself.

To OAH The sreens looking really verry good. But even a good looking car what dosent drive makes no fun ( meens no running linux clanserver no fun ) I never play on my own, I never play any other game up from BIS Stuff.

Well even though this 'expansion' sounds good, i wont be buying it new. I'll get a preowned copy. Reason being, i dont like being conned. Judging by the screenshots released, i would guess this has been in development for some time. So BIS knowing full well they would release arma2 bugged to hell and then have the gaul to release what is basically what arma 2 should of been from the start.
I'll not buy a bis product new ever again.

Would be great. I really hope BIS listent to us as well.
thx.

100% agree on you Luke I couldn't say any better.
Even my clan TOK needs to rent a new windows server.
Cause Bis diden´t release the Linux version of it.
Well now we have a windows and a Linux server lol.
But seriouly that Bis couldn't say right now that
OAH is compatible to ArmA2 engine sucks really we
need a expansion pack for ArmA2 and not a stand alone new game come on BIS what you doing to us?
Your games are great but we like to play them toghter. Why you not do it like resistance and patch ArmA2 so it is comaptible to the new engine we anyway payed for a half finished game called ArmA2.
same IT was to ArmA1 btw.

Regards Panzerfaust from TOK
