Myself and a few others have told Bobo to ditch the AI as they are a waste of space and a pain in the ass. I wouldnt say we need to practice the map as that would take the surprise out these things.
We all just need to spend abit of time understanding or changing controls, I have changed most of my keybindings into that of Arma 2. Get ourselves a few different kits made and saved on the virtual ammo box, my suggestions are: Close quaters, Sniper, AA, AT, Guerrilla Fighter/ militia and explosive/sabatour. Then just get on a game, get a feel of how it works and responds and practice!
Yes the first mission did not go well as we only had 3 of us VS 5 of them, but nobody checked it apart from myself and wobbly, I even posted extra notifications on the steam group and an event sign up on steam as well as our forum, a yes, no or maybe would be help so much guys.
I'm not having ago here btw! Thanks to Mcbrag, repcommando for showing up on the first game! Also thanks to scriv, mcguirk and phoenix(who was installing his ARMA 3 as we played the first game) for joining us on the second game, it was good to have a group together. That second game would have gone alot better if we were ALL more comfortable with the controls, i strggled to help with some of the questions as I am not 100% on them myself.
