Well, the real idea is to have a radio station you can switch on and off, using vehicles as soundsource... maybe tap it into vehicle channel so only audible in vehicle if you switch to that channel.

Task Force · 06-13-09, 04:21 PM

sounds intresting... but it would still work good as a military weapon. lol

Arclight · 06-13-09, 04:23 PM

There's a module that controls surrendering. Maybe you can wire it so music is a contributing factor.

"Oh noes, devil music! Fleee!!!"

Therapy wouldn't be enough

Oh, and I had a weird experience in the RAZOR TWO mission. I went to Vyshnov (however it's spelt) and talked to the guy standing by the pump. He told me about a guy called Malek who lived in a farm nearby. So, we drive off to the farm. Just as we're about to enter the compound , the faint sound of a engine echoes behind us. I turn around and see a blue car coming to a halt.

Apparently, one of the guys I was supposed to nab decided to pay our farmer a visit as well. He runs away, so I shoot him down. The mission automatically ends and the next one titled "One week Later" begins.

I replayed RAZOR TWO again, and this time though...no blue car arrived at the farm. The farmer, Malek , redirected me to a castle nearby. Nothing there either. I didn't get the blue car arrival at the farm again , despite retrying the mission 4-5 times. So, how exactly is this mission supposed to play out?

Task Force · 06-13-09, 04:34 PM

I could imagine... The enemy would need alot of stright jackets.:rotfl:

No clue how it's supposed to play out. For me it went like it did for you; snoop around town, guy tells you about Malek, you visit him, he directs you to the ruins. 1 or 2 minutes after I searched the ruins, I got a radio call saying your target is on the move, and then the mission ended for me. I think Fin actually got a chance to set up an ambush and it played out diferently again for Dowly. Seems to be a bit randomized.

Never saw a blue car though.

Fincuan · 06-13-09, 05:37 PM

Yeah it played out differently for me. As you might remember Malek didn't like my interrogation methods("You mother****er! Where's Lopotev? What, you won't tell? -> BANG, kneecap), but that's ok as I had already checked the castle prior to going to the farm, and found the tents and such - empty. That lead dried right there, so I went to another village the name of which had come up in some conversation. Nothing there, but on the way back I was told that Lopotev had been spotted heading north, driving a red hatchback. I deployed my guys in pairs at two possible locations that he might pass, but time went by and nothing happened. After a good while I started looking for more leads, and in one village came across a NAPA guy who said they could use some help in repelling an oncoming Chedaki attack. I decided to help them, and the highly grateful NAPA guy gave me a possible hiding place that Lopotev and Bardaski(or something) had used for their political rallies before the war. I surrounded the place and went in, but only found a housekeeper there. After some roughing up he told he knew nothing about Lopotev, but that Bardaski could be hiding in a village on the coast. Said village happened to contain an old quarry, so I bet my money on that and assaulted it. My guys quickly dealt with a few bodyguards, and a .45 in to the leg convinced Bardaski to surrender. Mission over and no sign of Lopotev.

One thing that is great about the campaign is the activity going on around you. Now it actually pays off to leave a few guys on overwatch when you go recon a village, since it's entirely possible that an enemy patrol is in the area. Sykes and Rodriguez have saved my ass on numerous occasions. There's no way you can feel safe outside the "mission area", unlike in Arma and OFP.

Task Force · 06-13-09, 05:47 PM

Hmm... so how much does this game cost, and can I get it as a download.

Fincuan · 06-13-09, 05:55 PM

40-50€

At the moment you can get the German version via download from here
http://www.petergamesde.nexway.com/K...II-671810.html
or(recommended)
https://buy.metaboli.com/vnt/choixpa..._achat=acheter

Then again it'll be released in rest of the world on June 19, so not that long a wait

I believe Steam will have that version.

edit: Looks like the Steam version will be released on June 30th

Task Force · 06-13-09, 05:56 PM

So what about this english patch I hear about.

Fincuan · 06-13-09, 06:05 PM

It's an unofficial mod that effectively changes the german version into an english one. Part of a leaked english preview version or something like that, but what's important is that it works. PM me if you need it. It's only a temporary solution until the international release, at which point the devs will release on official patch for the german version, that among other things adds the the possibility of changing the language via the ingame config menu.

Task Force · 06-13-09, 09:00 PM

Hmm. Im thinking about getting arma2, any thing thats gonna be new in the english version the german one wont have.

Arclight · 06-13-09, 09:25 PM

As far as I know it will be identical to the German release + "retail" patch, but I'm not sure.
