ArmA 2 - Close Quarters Battle

[mrgamer970]

hows the bullet damag in this game?

[ghos7bear]

@mrgamer970 Most shots are kills. You can survive a shot in leg or hand from small weapons though.

[RobertJoplin]

I feel misinformed... this isn't very close-range. My definition of CQB is fighting against people who are like 4 - 30 meters from you. Am I wrong somehow?

[Gamndon]

@RobertJoplin No, you aren't wrong. I had the same impression.

[ScarsOfTheCrucifix]

FUCKIN EPIC

[snipereliete]

how did you get support from HQ.Its not a simple process in the editor

[MulleDK13]

@snipereliete Actually, it is. You just place a unit from the Support class. Like an ambulance. Then you give it a waypoint of the type Support. When it reaches it, you can call for it using the radio. (Only as group leader)

[MarkTheRide]

where is the CQB in this video?

[redmax28]

I just bought the game off of ebay. So is this single player or multiplayer and can you choose a random marine to play as or do you play only as razor team? Also do you only play as marines or can you play as other factions? thanks for anwsering these questions

[MulleDK13]

@redmax28 It's both singleplayer and multiplayer. Singleplayer has both a campaign and small seperate missions.

In the campaign you always play as Razor Team. In the small seperate missions you play as whoever the mission is about.

The original ARMA 2 has two factions for the BLUFOR side (West), as far as I remember. The US Marine Corpse and Chernarussian Defence Forces.

[MulleDK13]

@MulleDK13 If you also have the expansion ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead, there'll be 2 more factions for BLUFOR: The US Army and some NATO units like the germans, I think.

I also have the PMC and BAF dlc.

[redmax28]

@MulleDK13 cool, thanks!



[0bb0g]

@redmax28 You couls also play as russians or takistani militia if you want to...

[knightace2002]

lmao All, Target that Squad leader All Fire *everyone opens up* lmao funny shit tho the saying of the numbers kinda bothers me a bit

[gtfonow1]

hows the mp5 in this game

[TheSqueezedLemon]

speaking of CQB's why doesnt this game have any melee weapons?

[allfatz]

@TheSqueezedLemon Melee weapons are not that useful in modern warfare.

[Maxuskrachus]

Can you post your computers specs pls?

[MulleDK13]

@Maxuskrachus At the time of this video...

Intel Core2Quad Q6600 (2.4ghz)

XFX GeForce 8800 GTS 512 Alpha Dog Edition

6GB RAM

[ntabonkerleo]

god, the robotic sound is the biggest turn off for me..... i wish i can download something that change the sound

[combly7]

@ntabonkerleo dont let that stop you from this addicting game

[baproto]

LoL that squad and that squad leadear are idiots!

[trulynot]

Do any mods fix the really poor communication sound design ?

"oh NO...SEVEN ......IS .....down"

[MulleDK13]

@trulynot Can't fix what ain't broken. It's dynamic. I'd like to see you do better.

[trulynot]

@MulleDK13 Gee, that was a real smart reply. You dont get out much do you. Whether or not I worded it to your satisfaction. I am not and have never been happy with the dynamic dialogue delivery ever since playing OFP ? How would I do better ? hmmm....lets see, seeing as ogg vorbis files are tiny ( and need only be 32Khz and mono ) they could have easily set up dynamic phrases in place of words. They could have also better matched the intonation in the recording stage.

[MulleDK13]

@trulynot You're real clever huh? The amount of sound files needed to create the same amount of sentences would be outrageous if using pre-recorded phrases instead.

[trulynot]

@MulleDK13 You dont get laid much do you ? I work in sound. I know how much it takes. I didnt say a phrase for every condition and range.

[MulleDK13]

@trulynot Then it's not better, you idiot... That's the whole point of the system... If you don't want a phrase for every condition and range, go play Dragon Rising.

[trulynot]

@MulleDK13 Fuck off kunt. You were the aggro virgin that had make a snide remark initially in place of a simple "There is no mod that does what you ask". There is easily enough space in the app to facilitate dynamic phrases and words. Do you know the difference between phrases and words ? I also said the intonation could have been recorded better.

[MulleDK13]

@trulynot You're out of your goddamn mind. Do you even know the amount of voice files for ONE character? The voices from the original ARMA 2 has 19948 voice files (EXCLUDING mission specific ones). Making the intonation "better" is like trying to bend bullets.

I love the dynamic sentences system in ARMA 2. And the fact that they've focused so much on it to make thousands of recordings just so people can have an awesome AI radio system, is applaudable.

[trulynot]

@MulleDK13 Making the intonation better, means recording it better in the first instance. They could also have have better timed the edits to allow for natural flow. Better recording a few key phrases IE the ones everyone seem to pick up on would have satisfied me.

The phrase "Oh no x is down" through to how many (x) in the squad would have taken up a few hundred kilobyte only( in total ) in ogg vorbis. That is only, what 15 extra phrases ?

Same with "headed west" .."headed east" etc etc

[MulleDK13]

@trulynot Your multiplying the amount of sound files to extreme proportions.

Having only up to 15 phrases for "down" statements would limit the system by far.

As it is now, soldiers can say "Fuck! 386 is down". I've even had it to thousands.

Even though that's not realistic, it should be possible, and it is.

[trulynot]

@MulleDK13 No I am not, I am talking about a few key phrases from a few different voices. The phrasing is more important then whether one trooper sounds like another. You also keep swerving the other points. They could have been recorded better, matching pitch, intonation, delivery etc. etc

[MulleDK13]

@trulynot There are some phrases like that, but doing it lots of sentences is crazy.

They've re-recorded it for the expansion, though, where they do sound a lot better. I doubt they'll improve it more than that.

[MulleDK13]

@MulleDK13 Another video of mine, if you want to hear the difference. At least I think it's improved. /watch?v=5CXGVsYqd_E

[dvdk87]

can you still mod the crap out of this game if its on console?

[MulleDK13]

@dvdk87 No. And it's PC only.

[m15airof]

annnnoying

[vuur150]

Cheers mate. You know how to command ur team and keep yourself alive while you're at it. I suck if im not in the air. I can only fight well if im in the sky :D

I hope u get the hint.. If someone wants to play arma 2 once, i'd love to be your pilot.. I can be very useful at recon missions and close quarters too. Just not that much on big places

[nRADRUS]

speaking like berserker (Saberhagen)

[acecombat4506]

lol at the end!

[prestb]

Terrible voice acting XD lazy much?

[MulleDK13]

@prestb That's because the voice is dynamic. It's hundreds of phrases and words recorded individually, then combined dynamically by the game when playing.

[prestb]

@MulleDK13 Well, yea, But I mean they should've just went again and do all the lines. I know it's A LOT but still.

[MulleDK13]

@prestb You record them then. That would be around 111824865119600430744996307607­616902997562475571842633838412­167568361169672820118454045730­260688510087990927196104962685­462595837360336094267205134948­250389032461924909766607715924­086489297715200000000000000000­000000000000000 sound files. And that's not a random number, btw.

[MulleDK13]

@MulleDK13 And that's not even gonna cut it.

[prestb]

@MulleDK13 LOL! Good point.

[FieldopsOfAA]

@MulleDK13 IMO, its done a little better in OFP: DR

Arma woulda been better off using microsoft sam.

[MulleDK13]

@FieldopsOfAA lol... OFP:DR has nothing near the same flexibilty as the voice system in ARMA 2.

And it would sound like shit with TTS.

[TheBenji518]

@MulleDK13 hey i have the Demo for both of the Arma 2's but..how the hell did you get the helis to fly the only way i can get them to fly is by being the main pilot,and HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET your man to carry other men everytime i try it BAM i die! please help me! (are u even in Editor? or online)

[MulleDK13]

@TheBenji518 I just add waypoints to make them move.

[Timlee137]

@MulleDK13

At 1:19 can you apply suppressive fire while dragging?

[MulleDK13]

@Timlee137 Yes.

[Timlee137]

@MulleDK13

Cool

[Jacktheawesomeness]

How do you get the AI to get inside the Ambulance when they're unconcious?

I haven't found any reason to do that, or any reason to load men who can't walk into the ambulance, considering they could just heal themselves at the ambulance.

[MulleDK13]

@Jacktheawesomeness People can't be unconscious... They can be injured or dead.

[nctarheel26]

@MulleDK13 if you run the ace mod you can go unconscious by being to close to a tank firing and heavy guns like artillery...you can go deaf also by not wearing your ear plugs...

[Jacktheawesomeness]

Can you get injured people to get in the Humvee ambulance?

I've tried it in the demo, with people who are unconcious. and I haven't found any way to get them inside the ambulance, nor for that matter, have I found any reason to get the men who can't walk into the ambulance, rather than just calling for a medic or healing themselves at the ambulance.

[DisperseShots215]

that ai voice sounds fucking stupid. its microsoft sam!!

[MulleDK13]

@DisperseShots215 lol, it's not microsoft sam... It's not even microsoft... It's not even text-to-speech.

[DisperseShots215]

@MulleDK13

i know, just sounds fairly similar.

[D34NxWH1T3]

Lol u'r own men killed u!

[MulleDK13]

@D34NxWH1T3 Because I told them to.

[UberPanzer666]

this is unscripted?, fucking awesome!!!

[Olimpus3500]

very nice! how did you make it that HQ is sending ambulance and support??

looks very realistic+tragic.

[MulleDK13]

@Olimpus3500 Add Unit -> Support -> Choose any support vehicle (Ambulance, Repair Truck, Refill Truck, etc.) and give it a waypoint of the type "Support" right in front of it. As soon as it reaches that point, it'll be able to give support to any squad, using the radio (Radio shortcut 5 1)

[Olimpus3500]

@MulleDK13

thx!

didn't knew that!

[Reggie757]

This isn't close quarters.

[jeffisstoned]

is this an army of steven hawkings?

[Carmill0]

@jeffisstoned hahahahahaha!! funniest thing ive ever read about arma XD youre soo right ! =) 

[themixedarts]

@jeffisstoned 360/PS3 have better exclusives that are more enjoyable to play. This bland gameplay value.

[cbcnate]

@jeffisstoned Hahahahahahahaha! That's hilarious!

[acs262]

@jeffisstoned No, the engine it runs on is actually being used by the military. So they have to simplify the communication.

[chiangbang]

You're fighting in a fucking field. It's not close quarters.

I'll be damned before I let some gamer nerd fuckface dumbass tell me I don't know anything about combat.

[MulleDK13]

Apparently you don't. Not even the tiniest bit. Look up CQB.

[chiangbang]

"Close Quarters Battle (CQB) or close quarters combat (CQC) is a type of fighting in which small units engage the enemy with personal weapons at very short range, potentially to the point of hand-to-hand combat or fighting with hand weapons such as swords or knives. In the typical CQB scenario, the attackers try a very fast, violent takeover of a vehicle or structure controlled by the defenders, who usually have no easy way to withdraw."

[chiangbang]

You're fighting in a fucking field. Your units are reporting enemy targets as "FAR" and you're using your fucking binoculars to acquire targets. The last time I used binos to acquire targets in CQB was...um..never?

[MulleDK13]

You need glasses. And you need a reading lesson. There's 100 meters to the enemy.

[nctarheel26]

@chiangbang shut up drama queen

[chiangbang]

You need glasses. Look up the word "quarters" and maybe apply that definition to CQB. 100 meters doesn't mean shit; the majority of infantry combat occurs within 300 meters. Short range is not the same as CQB.

[MulleDK13]

You're an idiot.

[HUNDLEYGUY95]

@MulleDK13

In the ACTUAL Armed Forces this is what is called a Medium Range Engagement, not CQB ,which is always less than 10m. This is at least 125m engagement range. You should also look at what you did yourself, and that is use Binos to Acquire your Target. That is not CQB, that is a sign of a at minimum Medium to Long Range engagement (75m out to beyond 300m). And, incase you dont know, 1m=39 inches with 36 inches to a yard or 3 feet.

Therefore, 100m=328 feet. That is by no means CQB.

[MikMan89]

@MulleDK13 no, its true. misleading title. Nothing to do with cqb this video here.

[chiangbang]

I'm clueless on war? You're fighting in an open fucking field. Last time I checked, a linear battlefield is NOT close quarters.

A gamer fucking nerd is telling me I'm clueless on war? Whatever, man. When's the last time you've ever trained in infantry drills? How'd you do on BRM, landnav, and your PFT?

[chiangbang]

this isn't close quarters

[MulleDK13]

Yes it is, you idiot. You've obviously clueless on war.

[SaintsSpecOps]

bohemai beleive or not made operation flashpoint cold war crisis but they left codies to work the armas

thats why operation flashpoint 2 is so much different

[Oxstayne]

Voicing sucks

[Sindrio2]

xD nice ending, game looks awesome, too bad i have such a crappy PC

[Mossman67]

you have the option to lower comms volume for the radio noise and you can turn off on screen text subs - great vid btw!

[mike2120g]

somebody plz tell me when this comes out on 360.....and i kno it does i just dont kno when.....

[MulleDK13]

It's not coming on any consoles.

[clkdragzta]

how long is the campaign??

[RandomGamer1911]

360 couldn't even run this on lowest. Because consoles suck.

[psngenerator]

@RandomGamer1911 Aww you're just saying that because you can't afford an x box :D. Let me reasure you consoles are very fun. They are compatable with every console game no matter what and pretty cheap I mean c'mon I have 2 ps3s an x box and a pc capable of running a game like ARMA 2. don't judge console they are whats feeding the game industry so yeah. I agree they don't compare to most pcs but they are pretty sweet to own admit it.

[RandomGamer1911]

@psngenerator Erm I can easily afford an Xbox. I just dropped £1k on my PC and £700 on airsoft gear because I'm a nerd like that.

They actually aren't 'feeding the game industry'. The PS3 and Xbox combined actually make less profits than the PC gaming market, it's a common misconception that it's the other way around.

[psngenerator]

@RandomGamer1911 Doubt both things you said. About the profit thing PCs don't bring in shit because exclusives for PC well get pirated like shit. Consoles have been getting better games because obviously they make more money for the industry. I hate to bring this up but the Wii sold like crack so did the X box, ps3 not as much but it's coming around what about before that? I love both but you really shouldn't rip on a good thing they're not for everybody only 95% of people I'd say. Good day.

[prestb]

@RandomGamer1911 Ps3 wont be able to run shit either.

[iTzNinaj]

@RandomGamer1911

Amen

[gothikgamer]

@RandomGamer1911 you suck =D

[RandomGamer1911]

@gothikgamer Only on Tuesdays.

[grimreaperxyzhalo]

@RandomGamer1911 my modded ps3 can run this game on max! i know i am suprized myself

[RandomGamer1911]

@grimreaperxyzhalo Lol, good joke on a year old topic bro

[grimreaperxyzhalo]

@RandomGamer1911 ,Me?

[RandomGamer1911]

@grimreaperxyzhalo Yeah. It's a funny idea, quite convincing too. It's as if you're one of those kids who thinks their PS3 has good hardware. Rather laughable. :)

[Aquahorseify]

@RandomGamer1911 Amen

[OhmgrownCron]

the comms sound stupid

[nooblet911]

arma 2 is better than the first arma, but it's not all that we operation flashpoint fans expected (it falls short in the campain mode) and has high system requirements. still better than dragon rising, though

[MulleDK13]

I played all the way from OFP1, and ARMA 2 is a billion times better in my opinion.

[nooblet911]

yeah, for multiplayer

singleplayer was much more fun in ofp and the story was better too

[MulleDK13]

I never really played singleplayer in any of the games.

OFP, ARMA and ARMA 2 has always been about the multiplayer, and making missions.

[nooblet911]

I disagree, ofp had a very good single-player campaign and missions

it went downstairs with arma and arma 2 is what arma 1 should have been

[PTEredmond]

sounds like the comms are just as anoying in this one as the first...that's disappointing looks like the weapons are better tho and the graphics are great....is the map editor just as easy to use as the first one? :)

[MulleDK13]

The editor is practically the same. Just newer UI and more features.

[nooblet911]

and this still has a story (a real simulator wouldn't have it)

[MulleDK13]

You need to look up simulation.

[SpaceBoyPsyko]

What do you suggest me? ArmA or Operation Flashpoint?

[MulleDK13]

Uh? What?

Do you mean Operation Flashpoint 2?

ARMA and ARMA 2 are the successors to Operation Flashpoint 1.

Operation Flashpoint 2 is not related to neither Operation Flashpoint nor ARMA or ARMA 2.

OFP2 is simply a random game given a famous name to earn some extra cash.

Get ARMA 2.

[DrHavoc1]

if you press "B" the binoculars will vanish, tested and approved ;)

[Thermalburn]

why do the voices sound like they've been ripped from some audio clips? its very choppy...

[MulleDK13]

The voice system consists of hundreds of different sound files. Some has single words only, while others have multiple words.

The game combines them together in real-time to create any required voice.

[Thermalburn]

I see. Sounds innovative, i just which they did something about the horrendous choppyness :( oh well.

Arma2 is on sale for $20 and i need something to play while BC2 comes out. Do recommend this game?

[MulleDK13]

ARMA 2 is the best war game ever created.

It's actually a simulator, not a game.

[nooblet911]

no human shooter can be a simulator because it's impossible to simulate humans as good as vehicles

[MulleDK13]

That comment failed so bad.

[nooblet911]

which comment?

[mitchx69]

true dat i didnt understand what he meant something humans and cars?

[Brandywellbhoy]

"No idea, i dont live here" haha

[neeker117]

Hur lägger man upp skadade polare på ryggen? :D det blir ballare gameplay :P

[joaofga123]

Hahaha you can talk with the soldiers XD

[MulleDK13]

Yes.

[ActiveStorage]

the chit chat at the end made me lol. YOU GOOD TO GO!!! xD

how did u make them fire at you anyway? does the game actually allow that? xD

[MulleDK13]

I just told them to target me.

You can command individual soldiers in your squad to move, flank, fire, etc.

I told them to target me, then fire.

You can make them target anything. Friendlies, enemies, civillians, vehicles.

[cooldude8870]

is it possible to get close to the enemy in this game? like call of duty close. i would love to try that.

[MulleDK13]

Call of duty close?

You can get as close as your own tactical plan allows you to.

If you mean knifing down the enemy, then forget it. There's no knifes.

[CDonahue94]

a knife is useful in stealth missions, it is the only true silenced weapon

[josepma94]

hey how did you do that? with wich module?

[MulleDK13]

Do what?

[josepma94]

call support of ambulance and heli, etc, which modules did you used?

[MulleDK13]

I didn't call the helis. I just placed them in the map editor.

The ambulance thing is easy. Simply create a new unit of the type Support -> Ambulance.

Then give it a "Support" waypoint. Just place it a few meters in front of it. When it reaches it, it will be ready to give support.

A squad leader can then request it using the radio (5-1)

[RicStudios]

Can you do the same with a Helo evac?

[MulleDK13]

It has to be a support vehicle. There's one helicopter ambulance on the russian side, which can be used with the support waypoint.

But you can easily make a helicopter evac, by either using scripting or waypoints.

[RicStudios]

Oh K... lol I suck at scripting! XD

[JonGarrett2008]

the only think I dont like about this game is the way they speak, I mean come on, thats one of the easiest things to do in a game, the voices.

[MulleDK13]

Uhm. No it's not. This is not just "voices". They're composed real-time by the game.

[JonGarrett2008]

what I mean is that it sounds computerized and dead. its not like real sounding voices (non-computerized) you know how Microsoft Reader sounds when you mouse over the words? thats what I mean.

[MrMdC94]

Why i hate this game? It's impossible to play,i have to learn.

I have HD4850, E7400@2.80Ghz,4GB RAM... And playing this to low-medium settings,is shitty and laggy!

How can i do?

Should i buy a HD5870 to run it at max? (I have 620W power)

[EightAndSix]

oh god the grass

is so beautiful

[MulleDK13]

No. PC only.

[chdonncha]

sweet! the combat is rly realistic

[unknownmarine11]

wow i need this game i never thought there were games like this

[TrueV3ngeance]

Sweet thanks and also I need something like a shadermodel 2 or 3 I don't know what it is but would you know?

[MulleDK13]

You need a graphics card that supports Shader Model 3.

If you're in doubt, go to w w w . s r t e s t . c o m (remove the spaces)

It's a website that tells you if you're able to run a game.

It has to install a plugin, just say yes.

[TrueV3ngeance]

Aight, Thanks mate.

[TrueV3ngeance]

In single player can you call ambulances and stuff to heal your men? And also is this game free roam while in Single Player or is it like levels/missions?

[MulleDK13]

If you mission allows it, you can request a medic, ambulance, refuel truck, etc.

Single player has a campaign, where you get assigned various objectives.

I didn't start playing the campaign until recently. It's very RPG like. If you want to go somewhere on the map, just go, the game won't keep you from doing it.

[redbluegreen3colors]

where can i pick this up in canada????? whats the title of the second game??

[MulleDK13]

I don't think you can get it retail in Canada.

The game is called "ARMA 2" worldwide.

You can buy the game on Steam though.

[duffeknol]

I have never heard worse voice acting in my life. I know it's cut a lot, but still, damn.

[MulleDK13]

And what other game are the character's speeches composed real-time?

[duffeknol]

No, no, that's not what I meant. I only take issue with the fact that they recorded only seperate words and sentences, it doesn't sound natural. They could've gone that extra mile and record the orders as a whole. I can understand the coordinates though, but they still made it sound extremely unreal.

[MulleDK13]

I'd like to see you make it sound more real with thousand of voices all needing to fit together.

It's like making a thousand different puzzle pieces fit together.

[seppostrike]

was this single player or online?

[MulleDK13]

Single player. A quick mission I made in the mission editor.

But you can easily play this mission online.

[metalgear31907]

wow this game looks really boring.

[xXxMartin96xXx]

@metalgear31907

LOOK! A PS3 FANBOY!

who is also saying ArmA 2 looks boring?

that's a great british humor!

[Mariussixtysix]

how can u command the units after no. 10?

i cant command them since there are no more F keys to select them.

[MulleDK13]

If you have more than 10, you'll get several pages.

If you have 15 units, for example.

If you have like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 on the screen at the bottom, you'll get an arrow to the bottom right. If you hit F12 you scroll to the next page, if you hit F11 you scroll back.

So if you hit F12, the bottom should change to show the units:

11,12,13,14,15

Now, these are selected the same way as the first. Not using F13, F14, etc. but by using F1,F2,F3,F4,F5.
