Now if you try to play ARMA 2 like COD or something similar you will die. Very quickly.
Instead, you should approach the game in a slightly more realistic way. Hereââ,¬â,,¢s a few pointers:
1. As with all games adopted by dMw, Teamwork is a must. You need to follow your squad leaders commands, work together with your squad members, and you will be fine. Well fine-ish :flirty:
2. Learn how to play before going online. First i would start with the boot camp to familiarise yourself with the controls and the map interface. Then try messing around in the editor with all the different peices of kit, especially personal weapons. Learn how to shoot assault rifles through iron sights and reflex sights. Also learn how to snipe (its a bit harder than in COD) and use AT weapons to knock out vehicles at 300m. Once this is done, your'll find it easiler contibute to the missions online.
3. You are not God. It takes a single bullet to kill you. ââ,¬Å"headshot kill in COD!ââ,¬Â I hear you say. In ARMA 2, one shot to a vital organ and you are on the ground, bleeding. A round in the head or lungs, and you can kiss the idea of completing a mission goodbye.
4. Guns are not your friends. In other games, bullets fly exactly where you want them to. In ARMA, bullets act like real bullets. Expect them to drop slightly when fired and at long range and to be affected by the wind.
5. Be smart. If your hid behind a wall and thinking of running towards a haystack, think about what you are doing. If there is a MG spraying the wall above you, donââ,¬â,,¢t stand up.
6. Use Teamspeak (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=32255&postcount=1). Anyone who has played with ARMA's in-game comms will tell you it can get a bit choppy at the best of times.
7. Lean!!! If your in cover, use the lean keys. Rather than sticking your entire body out, just put your gun out
8. Enjoy. above all else it is the reason we all play, to have fun.
