Arma 2 - Operation Arrowhead: Night Gameplay

[EmpireOfMutantPigs]

I like both COD and ARMA 2.

COD I play more when I'v got nothing to do.

ARMA 2 I play for the realism.

I don't like COD though how unrealistic the snipers and how you finish killing a bunch of enemys in one room then you walk into the next, and what do you know it's gun blazing.

So I think ARMA 2 is better. (Plus I like the way the troops and guns look in it better too)

[dvda1987]

the night vision googles looks realy good! For me its getting almost totaly dark after a while and in the beginning I can only se a few metres.

[SaturnVII]

Isn't Plastic Bag theme, isn't Any Other Name,

I'm trying to pin down this song, but I can't find it!

[moderecocopa2007]

The name of the song is Any Other Name - Thomas Newman

[richiespeedisback]

@moderecocopa2007

It's similar, but that is not the song :)

[ChanceReed]

song name?

[ceryni11]

i never watch game vids, click on these to look at Arma2, im hooked! sick editing.

[jasperjohannesbakker]

richie bohemia interactive should pay you for making these clips thanks to you i bought this game you're not very expensive advertisment

keep up the good work !! :D

[aashapa]

that's gay, i wanted to watch a gameplay video, not a documentary of a guy getting killed. But, seriously, kudos, love your videos and ur devotion to Arma, it is a fun game when played tactically.

[c03rcion]

do you have shadows enabled?

[MrGoldenSilence]

The music is fantastic

The game horrible

Music is Plastic Bag Theme by Thomas Newman

[goofoffproductions]

what's better this or the original ArmA 2

[dudemaon06]

LOL WTF @ 0:12 wth is he doing?is that a glitch or what ever you guys call it?overall nice vid dude...

[Kamfrenchie]

@dudemaon06

yeah i've seen that a few times, when a guy move his hand that way it becomes crazy huge for a sec.

[fia2322]

Alright guys I need a bit of advice again. So, I know that most ArmA2 players think that OFP2:DR is a bad game, BUT:

I have Modded Warfail 2 and my mate is getting OFP2:DR. He wants MW2 really badly so he offered to trade his OFP2:DR for my MW2. Is that a fair trade to me >_>? Getting rid of MW2 and getting OFP2:DR?

[richiespeedisback]

@fia2322

Nooooo! MW2 is actually a very fun game when you want a break from Arma 2 and other more serious games. On the other hand, DR is just crap in every way possible, and is not fun or realistic.

Just my opinion of course!

:D

[fourfives89]

@richiespeedisback What's the name of the music bro?

[Wooboo]

@richiespeedisback It's nice for once to see an ARMA II player who does not consider MW2 to be some sort of backsliding heathen blasphemy, or something. I thought I was alone out there.

[bleushift]

@richiespeedisback agreed

mw2 is a action shooter

arma 2 on the other hand is a realistic combat simulator

(tho a game will never be like real war)

and dr i regret buying

so crappy doesnt live up to it expecations

1 qeustion

if my pc can run arma 2 wil then it also can run arma 2 ao?

[NeededBabyCakez]

@bleushift Operation arrowhead is a bit more graphicly demanding... so if you can run the original arma 2 on very high you can prolly run arma oa in high

[comedyguy911]

@richiespeedisback I liked DR, the overall environmental feel of the game is better and the guns look better on DR, but besides that, everything else it poop. Hopefully Red River can oust ArmA and DR standards.

[spetsnazkommando]

@fia2322 whats ofpr2 dr?

[naes9999]

@spetsnazkommando operation flashpoint 2: shit rising. i found it ok until i ran into the AI. they suck balls, and its glitchy as fuck

[leralon]

@fia2322 DR is shit... the only thing i found slightly fun was sniping at long distances.. thats it

[7th75thCallaghan]

@fia2322 It would be worth it if you took the OFP:DR DvD, carefully attached a series of razors along its contemptuous edge with a strong adhesive, and flung it as hard as you could in the general direction of Sion Lenton (Head of DR team). With not just a little luck you may damage his ability to shit on Operation Flashpoint fans with his insulting lies which he seems to consider as marketing. Either way it would fuck him up, and that could only be a good thing.

[brengsed]

damn son,

it's like being a soldier but without being at the warzone.

nice one.

and this how immersive games could be nowadays huh ?

[melonfeeler]

obviously it's a PEQ-15 and not a PEQ-4.... lol

[wosiekwks]

Please give us name of the song, or put it in description.

[fireflyman]

Whats ther name of the music? Its moving

[desertjedi]

Richie, the noob comments about your aiming in the movie were inevitable. Just ignore them - they obviously can't appreciate the artistic content of your movie. I found your vid to convey a lot of immersion and I liked it. TBH, as far as I'm concerned, you're the best Arma movie maker I've found. Keep up the good work!

[gansta96799]

@desertjedi agreed but the music, well i dont have a problem but u think u can find something more...arma

[Dinamarth90]

@SlyNicolai Well uhmm yeah, maybe you aren't quick to judge, but uhhh you sure are raging and flaming at me over youtube.

[BradleyBrantner]

I, unlike others, appreciate your skills. You did a really good job making it look like a head camera. Nicely done soldier. The others are ignorant.

[Dinamarth90]

@SlyNicolai I know what a PEQ is, it is an IR (Infra-Red) attachment for RIS on weapons that can be only seen with night vision and it allows for quick target aquisition. You sir are the one who is quick to judge this, it is just a video.

[Dinamarth90]

@SlyNicolai You really are an idiot aren't you?

[psyflora]

noob

[fourfives89]

@psyflora retard...

[SpitFir3Tornado]

im confused.... does operation arrowhead include ARMA 2? If so does it include all features you would would get if you just bought ARMA 2?

[sammynicholas]

Hey guys, hope any of you can help...

I got 3x5870 12gb ddr3 i7 968 1TB SSD

and i cant get it to work porperly some how....

Setting: everything full and 100% not 200%

1920x1080

And my frame rate in this game is only around 10-20 fps

GPU load only around 30-50% each.....

Is it a problem with the game or me?

[NorStarReviews]

Did they get the PEQ's working in arrowhead?

[ZAC2994]

@SlyNicolai how do u turn them on?

[richiespeedisback]

@SlyNicolai

Dude, I was trying to achieve a helmet camera effect for cinematics, I know how to play the game...

This was just for the movie ^^

[xiirudeboyzz]

@richiespeedisback what movie

[beechey145]

@xiirudeboyzz This video I think.

[419chris419]

@xiirudeboyzz he meant this video?

[D0OMZDAYZ]

@richiespeedisback Would you recommend Battlefield 2 or ARMA II. And since they have both been announced, Battlefield 3 or ARMA III

[fallout1bill]

how much would i hav 2 pay for a comp tht plys this game on the best grapics

[quangluu96]

can i run this game high quality not maxed, intel duo 2 2.93ghz~, 4 gb ram, 250 gts 1GB GDDR 3

[AnBGAMING247]

nice! this game is arriving at my house tomarrow

[ChernarusTV]

with what APP did you record this?

I tried with fraps, but the FPS goes below 15fps. Never had this problem with ArmA2.

Please let me know.

[ChernarusTV]

Hey Richy, with what application do you record in Arrowhead?

Im using fraps and the FPS drops below 20FPS ( whilst arma2 + fraps = ~32FPS

[Hompesbusbil]

Looks great, so its a bit of an updated version of the original arma 2?

[lpkiksass]

@Hompesbusbil It's the stand alone expansion.

[ZAC2994]

hey how do you move ur gun while looking at another direction?

[lpkiksass]

Woah that AI is very impressive, I need Operation Arrowhead.

[ACSspartan]

Should i get arma 2 and the armas before it or Arma Combined assault?

[yeahskateyeah]

@ACSspartan I'd get Combined Assault, but the first Arma is great.

[lpkiksass]

@ACSspartan You should probabaly try Arma first, it can be very frustrating if you're not used to it.

[DemonGurkan]

What is the Piano song called? <3

[undeadzeus]

Do you have your sound pack enabled in this?

[OriginalAtomicSheep]

U do realise that although it may seem like having a crosshair isn't as realistic but if you hold a real gun... you have the added advantage of feeling where it's pointhing whereas in FPS, you are actually quite separated from the action. Not the best way of interacting through keyboard and mouse... so yer... may not seem realistic but it's much harder than it would be even in real life.

[lazaro12342002]

yeah.. but most people don't take games seriously. People play it to get a kick out of life. Games are suppose to be FUN. I miss games like Call of Duty were you get the adrenaline rush... it may not have too many special movies or technology, but its definitely a looooot of fun...

[mettalx1]

The Al has improved a lot over time, I have no complaintw anymore about that, great video btw!

[Shadow7988]

Great video, it appears the AI has been greatly improved apon. I was a little on the fence about getting this expansion, But now I'm definitely leaning towards picking this one up. As a bit of a note, I noticed the loadouts of the unifroms and gear, were those Army special forces? They did not appear to be marine force recon this time around.

[lambovsatan225]

the name of the song?

[lambovsatan225]

name of the song please=)

[lambovsatan225]

name of the song please =)



[lazaro12342002]

geez!!!! it's just like looking at a FPS made 6 years ago.. Bad physics and slow pace...

[Shadow7988]

@lazaro12342002 the maps are larger then most games made, and the attention to detail in weapons and vehicles physics and operation, coupled with the many complex AI units dispersed across such a large map require scale downs in the graphical department. I work on video game 'graphics' for a living. You are constrained by things like polygon counts within a game engine in order for it to run smoothly. The game itself I own and it is extremly fun and realistic.

[SPARTEN446]

is this out yet plz reply

[MonstrousPeanut]

love how the AI checks their corners and covers each other not like most AI in games, although im sure the AI has its faults like most other games

[ltait1992]

7 more minutes and itll b mine :D:D

[SilentWalk18]

is Arma 2 worth getting, the command voice is annoying, robotic.

[Watdefakkel]

nice man and u had the game as one of the first one on the world

[mortalbos7]

guys do you need the original arma 2 in order ro play this game please replay

[snokprok]

@mortalbos7 Nope its a standalone.

[mortalbos7]

@snokprok thnx i owe you one =D

[VladimirRothar]

The sad music from House MD? I need that!

Too bad this game still suffers from a lot of bugs. Would be one of the best out there.

[draeath]

Nice. Don't know why you weren't using secondary optics though (numberpad slash) to actually hit that fool at the end there :)

A grenade would have done it too.

Nice music. Credit?

[pkbjornpk]

@alija638 HAHAHAHAHA

no

[MadDantist]

still,same idiotic AI

[tarkinfish]

Lol, the ending is such an epic fail

[hograil7416]

Very Nice. Music?

[farmdve]

The melody sounds like a House soundtrack(doctor house i mean)

[RickyChapman87]

amazing mate looks wicked

[RazorShultzor]

How does operation flashpoint compare to this game

[draeath]

Which one? 1 or 2? (veeeerrry big difference)

[vertibirdsoldier]

Good job,but u shulda used lazer sights for aiming :D

[x3nNoN4u]

whats the music?

[ceSniperFactor]

I got the game last week,,,,some aspects are great, some feel like a beta. The drivers in the cars are pretty dumb, the soldiers on foot not so much.

I like the video :)

[pizzamuncher007]

Do you have to have ArmA 2 to play this expansion?

[lvlarix]

looks cool.

[sikatpb]

whats the name of the music in this video?

[sikatpb]

music??

[The1RlyShadow]

it's called aiming

[richiespeedisback]

@The1RlyShadow

Read description. I had no crosshair. Maximum floating zone. (Weapon never pointing at centre of screen), the camera was extremely zoomed in, so I had no idea what was around me, and I head head shake at maximum.

When I want to try and aim, I will do so successfully.

Thanks.

[The1RlyShadow]

@richiespeedisback just had a great idea!! Not sure if it would work...What if you did a AC130 at night with night vision..and had some troops on the ground with the lasers on...Could you see them from the ac 130? good enough to where they could point out enemies? Plus there is the becon thing that could pinpoint AA guns etc?? you could make video trying/showing that.

[XDesertRatX]

@The1RlyShadow herrrrrr its called read da fucking description dddduuuurrrrr, Retard comment durrr

im sure your just an ep1c k1cka55 MLG player in CoD4 though

[The1RlyShadow]

@XDesertRatX wow..call me stupid and look at your typing... Call of Duty sucks anymore..They ruined then after cod2, and i'm getting a custom pc just for arma 2 so. Arma 2 blows Cod out of the water. It can't compare with it..

[vertibirdsoldier]

@The1RlyShadow Ofcours u cant compare them they are different genres. It is like comparing doom with mario!! Arma 2 is the best war simulator ever. and mw2 is best modern FPS, end of story.

[Kielr7]

@The1RlyShadow I'm pretty sure you've never played ARMA before Shadow.

[The1RlyShadow]

@Kielr7 i suppose that's why i have it in the other room.. I loved this game...well i can't say i love 2 yet haven't got it, but one was awesome so why shouldn't 2 be

[sangyuni96]

Well, you apparently haven't seen soldiers in combat in Afghanistan

[The1RlyShadow]

@sangyuni96 no i haven't..care to link me? please

[ivan2294]

As a person who likes MW2, Loves BF:BC2, and loves the Demo version for Arma 2, should I get this?

[P3RF3CTD3ATH]

@ivan2294 This game is way to hardcore for MW2 dweebs. Even if you think the Battlefield series is realistic (or even Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising for that matter), then you ain't seen nothing yet out of this game.

[grumm70]

@P3RF3CTD3ATH

in other words its crap,

what gamer wants realism?

only one typ and thats one who sucks at games.

[P3RF3CTD3ATH]

@grumm70 The gamer who wants a bigger challenge out of a game. So one who wants to have a game where it's more hardcore than MW2. Why would people who suck at games would want to play this one. You're obviously a retarded trolling fag.

[GdaMaster]

the graphics are amazing, but would you say that the game looses some of its atmosphere and flair if you have to reduce the amount of detail? question @ richie

[Hazelrat10]

I like the music, Richie. But if I were to choose a piece for this video I would have chosen something more depressing, like "Lacrimosa" which was one of Mozart's Requiems, or if you wanted to stick with a Piano then try "Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major". Please check these out Richie, as I think these are some pieces that could really make your videos much more dramatic and emotional. Also, don't pay any attention to the garbage versions on YouTube, if you were to look these up, use iTunes.

[maxtower]

lovly music !

name ? 

[GrandmaLSRP]

Richie join the clan im in!

[richiespeedisback]

@GrandmaLSRP

Can't mate, I have almost no time to play Arma 2 these days :(

[GrandmaLSRP]

@richiespeedisback You suck! School isn't important!

[Spetznaz]

That is all AI? incredible!

I just bought the game 2 min ago from steam :)

[XekTOr89]

CoD fans wont like this game but its awesome is it out for PC ?

[tehrealkamikaziii]

@XekTOr89 WTF!? SO YOU'RE A COD GAMER -.- IT'S ONLY FOR PC THIS IS THE BEST SIM IN THE WORLD!!!

[nineactually]

@XekTOr89 I play cod4 and I love this game! It's the best game/sim ever!

[EvilRedGoose]

Better than ARma 2?

[ampthilluk]

really nice video and the music makes it seem sombre and sets the scene well.

[lambovsatan225]

@ampthilluk do you know the name of the song?

[ampthilluk]

@lambovsatan225 along way back the poster of the video says he thinks its called Freefall.

[Scwirul]

Niiice, how come we don't get videos of you on bfbc2 and stuff! Cmon!

[XspimaX]

again nice vid and music ! good job =D

[Kirq]

It's good to see Your Arma vids again.

[Ajijimular]

wait, arrowhead is out?

WOT?

[adster700]

@Ajijimular

Came out yesterday or 2 days ago or something.

[Ajijimular]

@adster700 yeah just talked to Rich about it... heading to gamestop in a couple of hours to pick it up. Man I completely forgot about it! I thought it wasn't coming out until sometime in July... bloody hell. Btw, Rich, epic death!

[AnBGAMING247]

@Ajijimular ya but i ordered it online and it says it backordered

[fauxhawkboy]

Finally your back!

[AnBGAMING247]

did u download any patches for this game yet?

[adster700]

Goddamnit, if I had a spare 25 quid I'd buy this instantly. Looks brilliant. Is it better than standalone ArmA II?

And isn't OA a standalone too, if so I'll buy it off Steam because it'd be easier than hunting it down somewhere else.

[catarsky]

@adster700 big part of ARMA 2 and OA is mods and it's so much easier to install mods with hard copy of the game then with STEAM + you find it retail cheaper then steam

[adster700]

@catarsky

I'm not talking about mods, I'm talking about vanilla. And everywhere I've looked it's basically the exact same price. I've installed mods for games I've bought from Steam before, I'm making one even.

[demonic87]

I was thinking whether to get this expansion or not, now I must!

[saitex29]

man i wish they had a game like this on the console's

[Tagemandbagem]

Nice vid. Why didn't you use the scope at all?

[Masher8559]

@Tagemandbagem I think you can no longer use scope when using night vision goggles.

[kesssen]

That was seriously epic, that felt a lot more like one of those short films making you feel something in those couple to 10 minutes. Good work!

[AnBGAMING247]

man very nice vid hopeing to get this very soon :)

[distantkilljoy]

Are there british soldiers in this game?

[Odie457]

this vid is sad :(

[Jacko459]

The nvg's look really annoying, you cant see shit through them, and they make the textures look really sloppy.

[rap33r100]

is it reaaly worth it

[richiespeedisback]

@rap33r100

YES!!

:D

[gavinthegamerfreak]

@richiespeedisback Aye Richie, could you make a vehicle showcase video (displaying all the vehicles). Kthxbai.

[demonikreaper]

@richiespeedisback

Still would have been nice if they just fixed the first and added this in as payment for how bad it was.

[richiespeedisback]

@demonikreaper

Huh? I don't get what you mean lol?

[LegitNeverCry]

@richiespeedisback he means they should have fix arma 2 more and add Operation Arrowhead as a free gift on how bad they made arma2

[snokprok]

@richiespeedisback He means the first was shit.. which it would be for someone that can't handle a few bugs in able to play something this realistic

[launchsa]

@richiespeedisback What he means is ARMA II should be fixed and ARMA II: Operation Arrowhead should have been a free add-on for loyal customers that paid for ARMA II and have had to put up with so many bad bugs.

[snokprok]

@demonikreaper He means the first was shit.

[Smallshoe]

Flank them richie :) ill get arowhead this week...looks amazing !

[HendrickFan2488548]

i know you have a mega computer but how much better does arrowhead run?

[Tomahawk1505]

awesome

[ikkeennigij121]

very nice!..what's the music please?

[richiespeedisback]

@ikkeennigij121

I purchased the music from audio network, so it's legally owned by me and can not be taken down by youtube. I think it's called freefall.

Cheers!

[ikkeennigij121]

@richiespeedisback k thanks..heard about this audio network..it's really nice

[markymalarky1990]

@richiespeedisback it sounds like the soundtrack from american beauty :P ( gayest post ever?)

[tarkinfish]

@markymalarky1990 Actually I know exactly what you mean lol

[markymalarky1990]

@tarkinfish :D

[CARBRINE]

@richiespeedisback Can't wait for some More great Machinimas on Arrowhead, richie!

[LowLifeAnton1992]

@ikkeennigij121 Sounds a little like a Halo Soundtrack, but i doubt it is

[MityLite]

You should remember never come out of a corner twice ;)

[MityLite]

@snuffying you suck because your too complicated to know that you have to spend 20 minutes learning the controls.

@MityLite fuck you man. i learnt all the controls but what i
