Author Topic: Arma2 Megathread - Because the others were too old.  (Read 1113 times)


Disclaimer: This is based off of what I know. If you see any misinformation/missing information, this is my first megathread, please tell me what I am missing, and I shall add it.

                    About
Arma2 is a military simulator which takes place in "Chernogrsk" and "Utes". In the expansion(s) it takes place in Takistan.
In Arma2 there are many modes, such as deathmatch, capture the flag, which are in close quarter combat, withen 1 city. Then there is Warfare2 (commonly known as CTI (Capture The Island)) which takes up a 12x12 km(?) area, Utes is on an island, and Chernogrsk is near an ocean. In CTI, it can be against an Artificial Intelligence, which isn't intelligent, or against some of your friends. Sadly the AI does not fly any planes or helicopters unless you place them in via editor. The editor mode which allows you to create your own "missions".

                    Modification
Arma2 has a huge community, and also has modding support.  There are many mods, from zombie mods, to nuclear mods, to gore mods, and even realism enhancement. This game without mods, won't get boring like some games. Without mods, it can entertain you for many hours, due to the fact that it always is different if you play it again. But, if you were to get bored, you can get different mods. If you don't like the modern feel, theres WW2 mods.

                    Singleplayer
Single player, in my opinion, is terrible. I think it's boring, but some people may tell you its good, so I don't know if it's good, or bad, so I'll just tell you about it. The single player, you play as a soldier in Russia(?) and are performing strike missions against the Russians(?) I don't think there's any storyline, but that's all I know.

                    Question(s) I have about the game:
1: Are you able to modify the CTI gamemode?
I am wondering this because I haven't seen any mods that do not force you to use the editor, also searching comes up with no real answer, maybe this is because I don't know the official name for CTI?

I wish the AI was slighty better in warfare.

I play arma 2 all the time

think i played with slugger at one point.

The way it's set up was real time.
They should have added some pre-defined stuff to it.

The experience would be better if there was house-to-house combat and AI enemies with helicopters.

Hey I would play it.
Sadly my computer SUCKS ASS AND CANNOT PLAY ANYTHING ABOVE SOURCE ENGINE.

Damnit.

My online never works. Everytime it loads, it goes back to the servers :(

Have you patched Arma?

Just another one of those games that makes me wish I had a gaming computer.

Arma 2 is still better than Battlefield 3 In my opinion.
