ArmA 2 - Nasty Warthogs

[USMCMichaels]

I got bored and used the "attach to" one time.... I ended up with an A10 with 2xM2's, 2xM240s, 2xMk19's, A Howitzer on the nose, and a Stinger in between the engines.. I was unstoppable

[FutureMarine1775USA]

2:05 AND NOW FOR SOME SHENANINGINRY!

[Snotnarok]

Awww I was hoping to see that beast of a chaingun unleashed.

[Samaia1992]

lol... love the people bitching about how this would work on console... any one see Halo Reach.... heh

good video like the camera angel's adds a... Bad Ass affect...

[froggyXIII]

lol the ending XD

[gmiwoj]

i fucking love this game

[Shinzon23]

why are you not using the warthogs chin gun, the one the entire plane was built around?

[dginzbourg]

and how did you make camera while being attached to plane freely moving around?

[dginzbourg]

how did you attach the camera to the plane? i managed to make it look at it all the time, but - it doesn't rotate when plane rotates, and it always looking at the center of the plane... rrr its annoying can anyone tell me how to make these things right?

[latronpe]

@dginzbourg

I'm just using the "attach to" command. Google it or take a look at the description of the vid, I've updated it and there a link to the BIS wiki

[dginzbourg]

@latronpe When did you add those last few second with the 'behind' the scenes? and thanks a lot for the link

[GriffThe124]

Наикрутейший аппарат!!!!!!!!!!

[xy274]

At times...Arma 2 looks real, but when i looks at the ground....it all changes.

[ThePinchedLoaf]

I'm seriously considering getting this game. Any advice as to whether I should buy it or not?

[elite549]

EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHHHHHHHHHHH­IIICCCCCCCCCCCCCC!!! Relly good work best arma 2 vid on youtube!

[pegorino1000]

worthogs like in bad company 2

[movieboy6]

b-b-b-b-b-bad

[hotlauwtje]

Looks like you its a replay how did you do this?

[Drawnsbyme]

Dude, this is some epic stuff!!!! i love it

[arhoptt]

Latronpe, how do you use the A10 gb bombs so well? mine are never on target

[enomis9393]

@arhoptt n00b!

that bombs are laserguided! you need a trooper that use laser on a target and then you got 99% precision whit that bomb

[tattat44]

God, the feeling you get when you lock on and drop an LGB sends a shiver up my spine every time. Sick video.

[sanchiesp]

Awesome, you can make a tutorial of how you put the soldiers in this position??Thanks

i know the script: player exec ... but this is new for me and i like learn .

[assmanlarry]

i bought this game just for the A-10 Thundrbolt II

[elrugged1]

MY GOD, that was an awesome freakin video, bro. Great job, the song was perfect for the vid, and matched up well. Very entertaining, bravo! ENCORE, ENCORE! lol

[ThaFunkster100]

This is a damn fine video, I like it. Nicely made.

[SAGEthewisedragon]

best song for the warthog!

[EliteGhost001]

How on earth to you attach the view to the plane?

[negroriginal]

Love that slow-mo frontal details.

[lbIeesel]

are there other planes in arma 2 cause it seems like there are only videos of A-10's

[TheMast3rBF2]

@lbIeesel yes there are but we all love the a-10 :)

[steelblood51]

How do you get SUCH smooth footage with Fraps ? I mean my PC is amazing (Icore7, Radeon 4890 etc) And every time i turn fraps on in game my fps just drops so dramatically. So how do you do it :)?

[latronpe]

@steelblood51

Well, I'm playing on a C2Duo 2Ghz with a Geforce 7600...pretty weak rig =/.

So all the settings are on low or very low, AA is off and the resolution is 800x600.

=D

[AlexB4455]

@latronpe lol graphs don't look bad tho I am playing on high but still can't wait to get my ATi 5770 and 8 core SLURP !

[BloodyBritsGaming]

@steelblood51

I also record and as well as setting everything lower than what you'd normally play - I'd seriously recommend lowering your play resolution to your output resolution (don't play on a higher setting than you'll actually put on youtube, it's a waste of resources).

One thing I've found to work, is to add the code "setacctime 0.5", so that everything plays out in smooth half-speed; and then double the speed in editing to get it back to the right speed, but with all the frames.

[TheCmdrofficer]

this would look great with the new youtube 3d thing

[happygameshow]

ah nevermind just watched the whole thing. "attachto" function lots of work very nice.

[happygameshow]

how did you get all these amazing views in game?!

[ABOM420]

latronpe when i wake up in the morning during good times on ARMA i have like half dreams of flying and they seem so real

this is literally what those dreams are.

i dont know how you did it but fantastic job

[karamba187]

dude this vid is perfect

how did u make those recordings?

how did u switch the point of view ingame?

[stege]

I M P R E S S I V E

[HoodedSpy]

Loved it - especially the end. xD

My favorite of yours is probably God's Gonna Cut You Down.

[ecotts]

Arma 2 is KING.... nothing is on par with this power hungry game..

ITS BAD TA DA BONE... BAD TA DA BONE...

BA BA BA BA BAD, BA BA BA BA BAAD...

BAD TA DA BONE!!!

FOR HARDCORE MILITARY SIM PLAYERS & FLIGHT SIM FANS TOO!

[Kristian1944]

haha, ending is cool. But the whole video is awesome. I wish I could run ArmA2 as smooth as you do :)

[starmaster007]

Damn I need get a new PC and this game!

[lostdrift]

Fucking A+ video, had my friends look at this video and they thought it was real. Fucking awesome PC.

[BAKARDAN1]

@lostdrift yor friends are stupid

[dietcoke759]

what the hell was going on at the end

[latronpe]

I was showing how I did, using the "attach to" command. ;)

[TheCmdrofficer]

Ok, ill start out by saying SWEEET!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!

I do have one question... did you get a Mod to turn off the HUD, or is there a keystroke to do it?

[karadan100]

That vid was farking awesome!

Good job.

[latronpe]

Thanks a lot =)

[sodcactus]

Too much missiles/bombs and to little GAU-8 :-) But good nonetheless.

[latronpe]

thanks, I've used Windows movie maker

[ARNEKKEvd]

how do you put on music ? i mean do you use limewire or another program? cuz i dont have sound on my vids (i deleted it already its something with WMG)

[coenieboy1993]

dudeeeeeeee

ever thought of being a director?:D

this is a great vid.. the a-10 warthog spirit is really being used here:D

[latronpe]

Thanks budy =D

If you haven't you should check some vids made by triniscrourge, d3boy2002 and many others, those guys made some epic videos, trust me ;)

[Redlightning7]

That was awesome. Love the A10.

[latronpe]

thanks ;)

[Plastrader]

Nice!

If you would have added Arma 2 music instead this could have been a "in-game promotion"-video!

Removing the obvious "attachTo" ofc too :)

Funny feature to play around with.

[mbaynham]

i know some of you will laugh at this, but i hope its this good on ps3/360 when it comes out

[lightningpete]

mate it WONT ever ever ever be as good on the ps3 or 360... they cant handle this on as good of settings, nor can ther cpu's handle the distance draw, you'd get a basic set draw distance of 1.5km probably and maps no bigger than 17km squared,,, pc gets 225km squared... plus if ther on both consoles the discs would downgrade the game so much, it takes 10gb on standard installation plus patches and extras. YOu'd get no mods or anything either..... which would suck!

[hillarysucksass92]

@lightningpete damn strait

[elrugged1]

@lightningpete You are exactly right, the ps3 or 360 would blow up from the strain, LMAO. But really, those consoles could never handle all of ARMA2

[Teh1337bix]

@lightningpete This guy is a typical fanboy. Ps3 has way better CPU than most PCs. Not many have 8 cores like the Ps3. It can also handle the distance. "The disc would downgrade the game so much?" They can fit 50 GBs on a Ps3 bluray disc so 10GiB + extras is nothing. Only bad thing about consoles is RAM, and I think that it would be fine for this game.

I do admit thought that this would still be shitloads better on PC. Just pointing out that this guy is a typical PC fanboy.

[lightningpete]

@Teh1337bix Firstly..... PC was around before console therefore it has more time to mature and develop. Hence my argument for a PC. Second. 8 cores? Ha. You mean One CPU with 7 threaded cores. I.E. Pretend cores. Just like Pentium with its HT technology. Hyper threading = pretend cores. For firstly get your facts straight. The game isnt about how much data there is to put on disk, its the fact the CPU and GPU have to collate to render those millions of textures in sync. Also.....

[lightningpete]

...... Ram is the least of a consoles worries if it wanted to feat this game. This game was developed with military simulation in mind. This game is simply a ported gamer version from an actual military simulation set of software, that likely utilises thoasands of cpu cores and plenty of other hardware. Your PS3 wouldnt even render the editor with one infantry man above 1FPS. Fact. Hence why you cant get it on ANY console.

Tech1337bix, You need to learn before you try argue anything.

[Teh1337bix]

@lightningpeteThe reason you can't get it on a console is simply because it would be shit on a console. Hardware in the Ps3 is taken straight from PC manufactures mate. About the stuff on disk I was referring to what you said about the game being big. From what the maker of this video has said, hes running it on a GPU with less power than that in the ps3. Speaking of military computing hardware, do you realise that they bought 2.5k PS3s to use for large computing jobs? Also:

[Teh1337bix]

@lightningpete Cell Broadband Engine (BE) processor is a multi-core chip comprised of a 64-bit Power Architecture processor core and eight synergistic processor cores, capable of massive floating point processing, optimized for compute-intensive workloads and broadband rich media applications. ...multi-core architecture and ultra high-speed communications capabilities deliver vastly improved, real-time response, in many cases *10 times the performance of the latest PC processors*10 times better?

[lightningpete]

@Teh1337bix Its ONE CORE. JUST ONE PHYSICAL CHIP. Eight synergisitic cores is just a fancy way of saying hyper threaded cores. Its the same meaning. The synergy of the extra 8 cores does NOT account for more processing power at all. If these were so amazing, then why arent all the worlds industries using them? Exactly. 10x performance of latest cpus. Yeh but you fail to mention ANY. Yeh perhaps the new pentium G6xxx series. And again. THE BLUE RAY DISK DOES NOT RENDER THE 225KM(SQ) MAP.

[lightningpete]

@Teh1337bix ITS A DISK THAT STORES THE DATA TO BE PROCESSED......... AND THE GAME FITS ON ONE DVD ANYWAY. HENCE WHY PC GAMERS CAN PLAY IT. ffs. Im not bothering with you no more. Waste of time you really are. PS3 this PS3 that. So tell me. WHICH EPIC HUGE WORLD GAME THAT RENDERS EVERYTHING WITHOUT LOADING EACH STAGE OF GAME do you know is on the ps3? Thats what i thought. Cell engine, is just a software emulated cpu. hence the 8 pretend cores. again like HT technology found on cpu chips.

[Teh1337bix]

@lightningpete Yeah I don't want to bother with you either. I'm no ps3 fanboy (I prefer PC) I just hate people spreading misinformation on the internet. Honestly you must be a troll to actually say: "THE BLUE RAY DISK DOES NOT RENDER THE 225KM(SQ) MAP." (which is so fucking obvious its not funny)

The CPU can handle this game.

The GPU can handle this game.

The blu ray disk can hold this game.

The only question is the ram.

BTW there are shitloads of open world games on Ps3.

[kllr101]

@Teh1337bix Unfortuantly,

A. The CPU will not be able to handle this game, the AI would take up too many CPU cycles for the PS3 CPU To handle, it would end up bottlenecking the processor due to it's low memory, too.

....

B. The GPU wouldn't be able to, as the texture resolution on ArmA II is alot higher than any other game on the console systems. Not only will the GPU struggle with rendering those larger resolution textures, it wont be able to cache everything in memory like it can on PC.

[kllr101]

@Teh1337bix .. But mostly, BIS makes ArmA as an ongoing development project.

Basicly, ArmA II will always be in a development stage. ArmA II gets frequent patches and support, which just wouldn't be possible to do on the console system due to the limitations emplaced by Microsoft and Sony. Alot of games take a few months to get their DLC submitted, whereas BIS can do it on a weekly basis releasing beta patches.

...

[kllr101]

@Teh1337bix The last problem that would be faced would be gameplay elements, by this, ArmA II is a large, complex game. More complex than any other game on consoles. It's control setup is very large, too many to be able to place onto a PS3 or XBOX controller.

Currently, ArmA II has a large multiplayer fanbase. Revolving around 2 things.

1. Large scale warfare - Impossible on consoles due to bandwidth and memory limitations.

2. Mods - Impossible to be able to use mods on console due to Sony/MS

[kllr101]

@Teh1337bix .. Then there's the problem of finding a publisher who would pay to get a military simulator out on consoles, and go through all that trouble. As without a publisher, it wont happen.

The blu-ray disk may be able to hold the game, but does it have a fast enough read speed to cope?

If ArmA II ever did end up on console machines, It would not be the ArmA II you see here. It'd end up being the original OFP:E again. With updated textures. And nothing extra.

.. Not worth it.

[Teh1337bix]

I'm talking about hardware only and I'd say otherwise about. Yeah I know the whole game would be shitter on a console, no matter how many times I say it people just don't seem to be able to read it for some reason. But thats not my point, which is the hardware is capable of running it (aside from that tiny ram size)

[kllr101]

@Teh1337bix The Xbox nor PS3 would handle ArmA II.

I already pointed this out a few comments back.

[Teh1337bix]

@kllr101 I pointed out otherwise a few comments back.

[vkd96]

wow if they make a arma 3 its gonna look real life

[thehandsy]

The way technology goes, I'd say in about 5/6 years, games will be very close to real-life.

[Redlightning7]

Excellent... Who needs to have a social life anyway.

[latronpe]

lol, yeah Redlightning, social life is such an over rated thing xD

[Pouk3D]

realy good. Lot of nice shots.

[latronpe]

Thank you

[spy336699]

Hey i was just wondering... how did you get those camera angles? :P

[latronpe]

I've used the command "attach to", if you want more info about it I suggest you check at armaholic (dot) com

[eclipse245]

Thanks for that man ;)

[MusicProducer101]

hey man just bought arma 2 just wondering how do you change weapons while driving the tank and also do you you a flight stick or controller to fly?

[Chronologger]

yo dude, you just gotta tap f, and the weapon is changed from MG to Cannon, but if you want to change rounds then roll the middle mouse button

[latronpe]

Thanks for answering Chronologger =)

@MusicProducer101, Im playing with the keyboard only

[CyberLip]

Damn those were some sweet video shots. You should add the GAU8 ripping some tanks apart too! 5/5

Perhaps set your view distance abit higher too if you comp can handle it :)

[latronpe]

Thank you,

Indeed GAU is missing, I keep it for a next vid ;)

Unfortunatly my comp can't handle a higher view distance =P

[britrb32]

Great vid mate :) 5/5

Do yourself a favour though, get the full version of FRAPS. The support is good, and you can download it as much as you need as you get a product key.

Have fun mate,

Brian :)

[latronpe]

Thanks for your comment =D

lol, indeed I thought about it few days ago as I was really disturd by the 30 sec recording limitation (I thought I had record some shots but I didn't)

I probably will do it when I'll get a new computer

[TheMast3rBF2]

Damn, are your settings on Very High amazing graphics.

Nice video keep up the work.

[latronpe]

Thanks, well you won't believe it but my settings are on very low ! exept textures on normal and aniso filter on low, resolution : 800x600.

ArmA2 is really a beautiful game, even with low settings.

[FHSpyke]

Great vid m8, very nicely put together.

[latronpe]

Thank you =)

[latronpe]

Thanks a lot but no need to be rude xD

[FGESN]

Awesome. Great job! Can you give a few advice, how to make in-game "same kind free-view" for operators? Is this scripted scene?

[latronpe]

Hi,

Thanks for your comment.

There's no script involved, in the init line of your unit type : this exec"camera.sqs", and check also the info about the "attach to" command. That's all I've used.

[FGESN]

Thx

[latronpe]

Thanks for your comment,

I sure it was ZZ top, but you're right, thanks !

Correcting that right now

[RyoMassaki]

Nice One...very inspiring.

[latronpe]

Thanks to you too =D

[BigMete0r]

Very nice video! Good work

[latronpe]

Thank you !

[supah1337B]

ArmA's optimization kinda sucks

i have a 6200 ForTheFail

but arma3? like real life and no one will be able to play it with 5fps on a X2Quadcore GTX295x4SLI esc

[latronpe]

hm, I wouldn't say that, with a GeForce 7600 Im below the required spec till I can play the game smoothly.

Try to tweak your system and check the Nvidia control panel, I notice a nice improvement after that.

No doubt ArmA3 will look like real life =)

[supah1337B]

nah i do theres nothing to help me

[supah1337B]

0:28 looks real

0:38 looks real

1:00 looks real

1:06 looks real hell amost all look real

great video

[latronpe]

Woh, thank you =D

Knowing that I play with all settings on very low (exept textures on normal and aniso filter on low) with a res of 800x600 we can say BIS did a pretty good job !

Can you imagine what ArmA3 will looks like ? =P

[tastyriff]

Nice Vid!

[latronpe]

Thanks !
