my suggestion

youvejustbeenerased · 03-13-2010, 07:03 PM

First of all I have only played the Arma 2 demo so maybe it is different than the full game but this is what I think needs to be done.

The main reason for me downloading PR for BF2 is because I wanted something realistic but literally in my head I was thinking, "not as hard as arma" to play. PR for BF2 did that successfully and is one of the best mods I have played for a game. I like PR. I don't like Arma 2 vanilla.

The reason?

Arma 2 is just way too hard to play. The helicopter as well as jet/plane are too hard to fly with a mouse and keyboard. I know it's supposed to be realistic but at what point does realism cross with fun? The infantry is also very hard to control and giving orders is like using a calculator in the sense that there is no commo rose or even box you click on, nope, you have to hit the right F1-F12 keys in the correct order to issue a command. This includes the commander screen where you would think that they would implement a click to order system, nope try again, you have to hit the Function keys in even more complicated ways with some words I do not even understand let alone know the correct order of the keys to press.

My suggestion is make the game more like BF2 in SOME ways but not all. I love the idea of Arma 2 but I just wish it was a slight bit easier to play. In fact I even bought OFP

R because I thought it was going to be the same thing. I guess it's not because I was really disappointed with the game.

The suggestions forum is closed for a reason.

Besides you probably just need to spend more time on the game to get used to it, plus the PR mod focuses on PvP so communication will likely be primarily though chat/VOIP rather than commands.

Yeah - same as snazz.

My suggestion is you wait for the suggestions to be accepting suggestions

Fun is subjective not objective.
I love Arma 2 I think it's tons of fun.

I have to agree with you. Just started playing the demo and the game seems extremely hard to control. Though it seems from other people it takes a few days for a newbie to get used to it so I might play around with it a lil' more. Oh by the way, best voice acting I have ever heard in a game.

Did the developers even hire voice actor or did they do it themselves. Still have to admire the detail they put in it though.
