I agree. Make a smaller but complete game. And make the patching/installation process more straight forward. I've spend over an hour trying to make Arrowhead work and I still can't get it to load.

Magnum Lifer Registered: 01/27/03 Posts: 25479 Loc: Naples, Florida	The screens look great... and I'm getting it as soon as released... about ArmA2 comments: and if they made the game "a smaller but complete" game... then it wouldn't be ArmA2... it would be just like all the other games on the market. ArmA2 is not for everyone, but most who play it think it's one of the greatest tactical battlefield games out there. So hijacking someones thread about this game using the ArmA2 engine about what you don't like about ArmA2, is uncalled for.

Wodin Member Registered: 04/22/04 Posts: 1118 Loc: Liverpool	After playing RO2 since the beta I've come to pin all my hopes on this game. If it does what it promises then it will beat RO2 hands down...I just hope it does and takes off...

guod Lifer Registered: 09/29/00 Posts: 21657	Bit of an update. I exchanged email with my contact at X1, and he said they were still hard at work on it, and it is in Beta right now. So it is still planned to happen. _________________________ "That's at least a third canine dog barking"
