ArmA 2: BAF - A quick go for the armaholic "review"

[usafisasome]

The BAF is the best DLC for this game

[PlaneAU]

bohemia have over exagerated the accents

[toxic2k7]

what fucking accent is that lol

[kenxdeath]

is arma 2 and arma 2 different game or just add on? i want to the game but idk what to buy on steam.

[vladut15bis]

@kenxdeath Well,there is Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead (Stanalone Expansion Pack- But still,even tho it says it is an expansions everything is better in Oprertaion Arrowhead) and then,they launched those 2 DLC's British Armed Forces and Private Military Company - which those 2 can be bought separatly(?) or with another standalone pack to the standalone pack named Arma 2 Reinforcements (Containts the 2 DLC's)

[sirlag01]

@kenxdeath ARMA 2 and ARMA 2???

[JinRenegade]

How the hell do I clear a minefield with an engineer?

[calumhm]

Can anyone tell me how an insurgent standing up straight aiming at nothing, then getting shot without reacting till he's shot again, is realistic?

I respect Arma 2 for it's ambition, and it excels in some fields, but it's a long way from a realistic experience still and doesn't deserve it's hype. Another example is "Arma2 - Sniper Ghillie Suit AI Reaction Test"

[Sharkey3331]

@calumhm the ai is really good but sometimes glitches like that happen ruining the immersion

[calumhm]

@Sharkey3331

Y'see, I know it's actually quite good. On paper Arma 2 is amazing, in practice it nearly ALWAYS ruins my fun somehow.

[RainbowMouthx]

@calumhm it may be a long shot from total realism, but with totals technology it's about as close as you can get. hence the hype.

[NielsShoe]

The brits now use ACOG scopes on every weapon Even on the M2 and GMG.

Susat scopes are very old and so need replacing The ACOG is cheaper and has better sights. The Brit weapons in real life got updated again in the last 6 months so now the SA80 looks very different with the foregrip replaced with rails.

[SAbre5311]

@NielsShoe The ACOG is UOR only the SUSATs are being replaced with Elcan OS4Xs. And Aimpoints might be replacing the iron sights for the non-combat arms.

[themasterquebec]

British are so polite in combat ;P

[MichaelWithstand]

@themasterquebec they're much more refined people than say many of the Americans :-)

You can't shake a genuine British composure :-D

[LupusAries]

If you like Bagpipes this is heaven. And it does sound good. Hmm i might get this.

[1357900000000]

why an acog sight. the brits use the susat sight

[ts3lover]

@1357900000000 they have started to replace the susat with the acog but im ot sure why other that there newer and more modern.

[1357900000000]

@ts3lover sounds stupid unless tthere is a reason why the acog is better than the susat then they are fixing something that is not broken. as long as there will be an addon so i can have the susat sight ingame i'll be happy :D

[MegaLolburger]

I love the exagerated accents.

[acdcdave1387]

hey does BAF include a new campaign like PMC does? Not too important, they added enough content in my eyes to justify the 10 dollar pricetag but i'd still like to know.

[jamieee321]

@acdcdave1387 Yes

[acdcdave1387]

@jamieee321 awesome thx

[SabataurXC]

that sound like a really shite version of the bagpipes!

[boringcabbage]

wow im british and in all my life i have never heard a brit say "stay frosty lads"

[TheJayLeHol]

HAHAH THEY'RE BRITISH. I will never look at this game the same.

[dubmywub]

@TheJayLeHol what's that supposed to mean?

[abhiginimav]

my god those accents are terrible...well half of them

[JanMetabolic]

i believe the black hawk down soundtrack would have supported alot better atmosphere here

[demakre]

Is there a way to get Baf without paying? with fix textures, not like on the last patch...

[jamieee321]

@demakre Google "noBAF"

[Shifty5859]

Do many people play this online any more? And is it laggy? Also, Do you need to have ARMA2 to play this?

[GordonMckendrick]

@Shifty5859

There's a large community permanently online with some great dedicated servers. In terms of lag, you'll only really get PC lag; but even then the graphics options are superbly customisable so if you meet the specs you'll be fine.

While you don't need Arma2 to play Arma2OA (it's standalone) you're best to buy the combined Ops pack for the extra £10; arma2 still is a great standard game.

NB: For people who have Arma2 and OA seperately, you can combine them without buying the CO pack.

[harrybyles1996]

what kind of accent is that british soldires dont talk like that wtf oh adn wth with the music

[MegaLolburger]

@harrybyles1996 There are hundreds of British accents, Northern Irish, Different parts of Wales, Different parts of Scotland, and basically a different accent for every city/town in England.

[harrybyles1996]

@MegaLolburger i know that but its sounds wierd

[halo3guy50]

whats with the sudden fagpipe music?

[Tracer2k]

the music was kinda wtf

[i7fan]

What settings and hardware is this recorded on?

I run GTX275 and i7 930 quad and have real bad FPS around grass+trees. 6gb 1600mhz ram as well.

[henno13]

I like the Northern Irish accent at 0:14

[scoutbr00]

No ofense at all, but the music kinda hurted my ears.

[challywang]

Is that even a girl?? lmao

[nuttex]

I love bagpipe music, but that was so unexpected + sounded like music from the Hell.

[launchsa]

Still sounds like robots. When they going fix this game?

[nuttex]

@launchsa The funny thing is that their first game, Operation Flashpoint, was absolutely superb in that aspect (well, as it was in all other aspects).

[aussie150]

@launchsa Theres to many words to have a real person to say and theres to many different voices that would be needed, so they probebly wont change it.

[videofxuniverse]

@launchsa do you know how many sentences would have to be recorded in order to satisfy every call out made? There would need to be hundreds of thousand induvidual sentences and the amount of memory it would take up would be huge.

[daiski58]

@videofxuniverse theres a dynamic conversation engine for that. except for the scripted recordings during missions.

[thenuclearbanana]

What type of Computer did you run this on with does settings?

[DoxyaYagami]

BAGPIPES!!!!!!!!

[ohexploitab1e]

music ruined it

[Dxfan01]

lol how did you bare that music the whole time?

[Katashtrophie]

Horrific music

[jamieee321]

@Katashtrophie That's bagpipes for you.

[bascule42]

Aye Bagpipes for the Scottish Forces addon ^_^ Couple of more day to go...cheers for preview ect.
