I have played lots of Battlefield games upto 3 but wanted to try's something a bit different. So far I'm finding it very slow and from what I have found out so far I have to make/ copy scripts just to change gear load out, surely there must be an easier way.

I'm finding the AI a bit strange one minute they don't even look at me during a firefight then the next group of AI snipe me in one shot while I'm running like their vassili zaitsev.

I then went online for a few games and it took a really long time to get the games going.

Just don't know what to make of it, I guess it's just very different to any type of shooter that I have played before.

I would imagine it's more fun if you have a group of your working together.

Pick up PLayWithSix and you can get some mods that can change the AI behaviour. There are some other great mods floating about on Armaholic as well. If you are interested in learning the interface and about cooprative online play you could do worse that hooking up with 2nd 53rd We do training as well as other games, but mostly Arma3 coop. Val the group leader puts together some fantastic missions and the group is always very welcoming to new recruits and very helpful in getting up to speed.
