Changing controls is a complete nightmare and the browser makes BF2's look like a work of genius.

Go to your My Documents\ArmA\ folder. Open up YourProfile.ArmaProfile.
Change these lines (or add them if they're not already there):
First line is a framerate tweak (lower is faster, tweak as desired). The last two lines make the firefights last longer (i.e. they're not snipers). Also, it seems like turning Shading to Low helps my framerate, and it only affects the trees so far.
Command Line:
C:\Games\ArmA\ARMA.EXE -memsize=1024 -nosplash
Memsize can be turned up, I believe, depending on how much RAM you want to allocate to the game.

Iam hard core ofp fan... and I found almost everyone was confused on how to play or what the where or what the objective was ' Team " game mode... All kinds of small problems with that...
1) The servers where not good from the ones I found...
2) They droped the ball on this ..... I think its a great game if you have people know where to spwan and what to do + work to gather. Since there are no real directions its horrible for people to just joing with no directions!!

The AI has perfect vision, and seems to be able to see threw shit.
I did finally figure out how to change my starting arms. At the maps screen click on your name in one of the tabs in the notebook. You can get a machine gun, sniper rifle, and a AT rifle. Finally take care of that armor

I was just starting to own and the freaking game crashes.
I took one of the hummv and zoomed to the 'base' part of the enemy map. One of those bmp things were sitting there, so I hopped into it and starting mowing guys down... and it crashed =/
btw, how do you take out armor in this demo? Only anti-tank weapons i've seen are on enemy soldiers
Did have to download the latest DirectX though.
How does the foliage work as cover when seen from a distance? How does it hide a player when it appears to disappear at a distance?

I would highly, highly recommend that people play on it. We'll shoot for 8pm CST for tonight's impromptu Shackbattle session. Use the Shack TS server for it - there will be ShackTac people playing and idling in there for most of the night, I'd imagine, and it should be easy to get a pick-up game going.
If you'd like some reading material while you're downloading this, feel free to check out our Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures page for Shack Tactical and OFP. It doesn't all apply to the ArmA demo or ArmA itself (a lot of it is WGL/ShackTac-specific), but there's some good applicable stuff in it.

I noticed in one of the screenshots that the cities/villages are alot more fledged out this time round. Is it possible to access every building you see, and if so can you also access every window you see?
If this is possible, holy shit city battles are going to be intense.
