If anyone is interested I went a bit further with my place vehicles, some AI plan and have come up with this http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=173121991AI groups will randomly spawn around the place and try to hunt you down. Includes the same player re spawn as the Escape from Stratis Mission. Currently in the process of getting it up on an old server.

You can say a lot (and a lot has been said) about how BIS introduced combined arms and sanbox gameplay to PC games with OFP. However, I think the biggest innovation they introduced was the streaming technology that allows large maps with seamless travel across them. With Altis, they haven't revolutionised the concept but it is definitely a major evolution that I suspect will, like OFP, have a significant influence on subsequent PC gameing. You mean technology finally caught up to their streaming. It has already been proven over and over that if they had switched to 64bit the game would be light years faster. (See ArmA RAMDISK usage.) The only thing saving this streaming are 6G hard drives, SSD's, and there are no forests on the new maps.

The place is fecking huge! you get told how huge it is, but till you fly around it .. you dont realize just "how" huge it is!
"Altis is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to Altis." The Jedi Master

Wow nice. I had all that but the last step...I thought there was some special key I needed even though I just bought the Beta today. And let me just say my dual quad core Harpertown Xeons with 8 gigs of ECC RAM and a Nvidie GeForce 560 TI with 2 gigs DDR5 RAM is making this game unbeleiveably beautiful..what an amazing world it is.. It actually runs faster and smoother than Arma 2 ever did. Thank you thank you thank you.

A good perk of the game, but this was done long before OFP came out. Seal Team did this in 1993 Delta Force 1 did it again in 1998 and for all of its subsequent expansions through 2009.

I had an amazing time last night on an AhoyWorld server running a PvP game in the largest city. Just sat my Ifrit on the hills, switched to thermal sights and picked off the enemy as they either choppered in or threaded their way through the streets. Quickly became the highest scorer. A pity the Ifirt only has 400 rounds. Later I was investigating the car park in the city and could hear direct speak voices down below. A bunch of enemies discussing what to do next. Popped my head over the top and ambushed them. Unfortunately one of their armoured cars spotted me and got me in the head as I was trying to get out of the building. Really liking the map
