Nice mod, campaign with many night missions, similar to GR, you can select your gear before engaging.

It uses characters from Ghost Recon series, same names i.e. Scott Ibrahim.

makes me wanna get ArMa2, though I haven't done squat with ArMa1 except many screenshots

Its a great game, i have never played A1, but tbh enjoy Arma 2 as much as i used to enjoy GR in the old days.

[Sup]

there's no reason to play arma1 before you play arma2. there isnt any kind of sequentiality to the games, arma2 just represents a new and improved platform for campaigns and modding.

And u can play ArmA content through CAA1 project

Hehe indeed, CAA1 is fabulous

i dint enjoy Arma bcoz AI could see through trees - there was no real cover in vegetation.

Arma2 though - there is real cover behind trees and so its a fair fight and bloody good fun. I enjoy it as much as I ever enjoyed GR.

Same here.

I forget why I ruled it out, but compared to [OFP: DR]. The game that I thought was worth looking forward to, ArmA 2 is looking interesting.

I should research more into it, I understand it's gotten patched some.

Also, the idea of GR type mods of ArmA2 that lightspeed brought up, b4 the game was even released, sounded promising. The question is, can the sandbox be scripted into ArmA2? I think I heard the CQB was lacking, that might have been one reason I ruled the game out.

BTW, has the price dropped much?

@ Markami

if you decide to get Arma2 drop by Legion of Sparta and enjoy some good games with good ppl.

SIX Updater will help... However the initial problem you are facing is that you do not have CBA downloaded, installed, or activated. ACE depends on CBA. The minimum set of mods you will need is ACE, ACEX, and CBA. As you already discovered you will also need to set up your userconfig folder. Other than that, I would suggest giving ACE_SM a go once you have things running.

WOOOHOOO!!!!

1. Reinstalled (broke my rule of installing games in C:\ drive I usually install on separate physical HD )

2. patch

3. Six Updater

4. ArMa2 launcher

....next headache getting those Ghost Recon Mods and necessary mods

[Cpl Ledanek]

I d/l the necessary add-on but not sure how this is added to the Arma 2 directory.

May I see how your directory is set up?

thx

is this correct:

then I just use my Arma2 launcher?

oh dammit, I click play and it just hangs....back to the README files

[thales100]

thanks thales100

so I take all the required mods for GHOST are all inside the @GHOST folder then?

ok, I might have to do this folder by folder:

per README: I move the files to these folders

correct so far?

UPDATE: arma 2 not responding....hmmmm checking the other README files...brb

No no, keep each mod inside a respective folder, like Ghost for Ace mod inside "@Ghost", and Ace 2 inside "@ACE2", then activate the mods you want using the Arma 2 Launcher.

I see that I had one folder that was not there before, so I added it...if I could have you look at the left side for a second ...

hehehe...it's highlited. anyway, as you can see with the mod launcher how it's prioritized, its still hangs and accdg to Task Manager, it's still not responding. I may have to contact Mod creator on this one.

UPDATE 4/3/10 2352: weird that I can play Tempered Storm but not the other Campaign...btw, maybe it's a control issue with me or lack of experience with ARMA, but this Ghost Recon version is THE SHIZNITZ!!!!...at least that's what the kids call nowadays...I just hope it means positive or awesome

[Cpl Ledanek]

arrggg!!!! how come I can't get rid of the black borders...I'm already cut n pasting the script?

UPDATE: 4/4/10 1218HRS

plain Arma is still giving me black borders

I'm starting to think this has to do with my video settings perhaps? widescreen maybe?

[Cpl Ledanek]

When I take these SS it's in the preview mode, does that have anything to do with the black border?

[Buehgler_AS]

If you are previewing an Intro I think that will give you the boarders. Be sure that you are actually editing the mission itself and not an intro sequence. The simple test is to play one of the training missions and confirm that you are not seeing the boarders then. If the training missions work (and I suspect they will), then the black boarders are a result of something you have done in the editor or to the associated mission folder. If you really want to debug that problem, you will need to zip up the mission folder and post it along with the command line (or mod string) you are using to launch the game.
