[Game] The ArmA 2 thread (hurr hurr, no Armed Assault 2)

hmmm im kinda stuck on mission 4
i have to get into the capital and help a stuck unit by killing a sniper
but whereever i go there are BMP2's guarding the streets and i have no possibilities to kill them (no AT avalible in my squad)
my teammate keep getting killed as they just stand around on the middle of the street while i try to sneak throught the buildings

any tips?

there is also no info at all from wich direction i should move in on the target, ect
basically im stuck while not knowing what the hell im supposed to do

Couple of questions:

1. How can I turn the ****ing annyoing motion blur off without completely disabling post processing?

2. Why do my teammates advance as slow as **** if I yell danger (why the **** do I even need to tell them that? They should be able to figure it out themselves) even if I run 100 meters ahead of them. Isn't one of the main principles that you're supposed to keep up with your squadleader?

3. Why my AI mates can't keep up with me if we're advancing in a line formation? -_-

4. Also where do the custom campaign files go? None of the "mission designers" bother to put in installation instructions.

1. You can't, unfortunately.
2. If you yell danger, your telling them to expect to be attacked. Therefor, they advance slowly and stick to cover when they can, and use leapfrogging.
3. Put them in 'aware'-mode.
4. Create a 'Campaigns'-folder, then put the campaign.pbo in there.

Also, you can be less agressive in your approach to the game. Makes me wonder why i even bother to answer your questions.

Why? I don't like it but I'm trying to, it's not like I offended you, or did I? :rolleyes:

What should I expect from a "hardcore war simulation"? That it fails at squad tactics?
Maybe I'm just too fast... Also, is there any way to assign a hotkey to red/*addcolor here* teams after I have assigned different people to them. The spacebar quickcommand thing is good, but I can only command the whole squad with it.

Just go by the south road and hide from the BMP, it will pass and will be destroyed after a while. Then you can rush to flank the sniper
