ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead - Game Page Insight #2 - CAPTIONS

[jarhead1145]

lol global warming

[landraider101]

hmm im greatfull that global warming is not stopping arma 2 development

[Nordicwarlock]

That map looks great. The voices are better, too. Only thing I dont like about is the default sound in the arma games but there will be sound mods from the community like hifi so its ok.

[jesshealy21]

@lowlane56 your a smack head mate what you on about

[Focha]

More of the same. Only more I guess. Lets see.

[MakarovD]

black walls!

[arievanscholten]

sounds like better voice acting? 4:25

[KingHaggis]

Nice video but it sucks that the soldiers @ 4:05 aren't alarmed by the impact just a couple of feet away.

But really looking forward to this great new expansion! ArmA & BIS are the best!

[lowlane56]

When there are gunners in any chopper they should but the gunners hands on the Gun......

[DeadfastCZ]

@lowlane56: Uh, what?

[darkstatehk]

@DeadfastCZ my thoughts exactly.

[cappilot12]

@DeadfastCZ In Arrowhead it does not show the person's hands on a machine gun. It only shows the gun moving.

[eclipse245]

@DeadfastCZ OOOHH i see what he's saying. In the Chinook, the door gunners should actually have their hands placed on the gun instead of having their arms by their side. 1:40

[supadupa555]

@lowlane56 - talking about hands?? most of the FPSs don't have legs and u cool with it.

[vkd96]

hey they have a 360 controller maybe it will come to the 360

[WillKillForName]

For Arma 3 they should focus 75% of their energy on making proper smoother animations/ Graphics updates. Aside from other improvements to recoil, (I think GRAW2 for PC got it right) among other things. (They have the pure content amount down cold already and I, frankly couldn't ask for more!) Then I'll have an excuse to by a $5,000 PC so I can run this game at above 15 FPS.

[MB0016]

why do they have xbox's? ( 3:21 )

[TomSpace13]

BIS I love u!:)) Good luck with addon......going back play arma 2 now...new multiplayer mission almost ready:), so dont have time for more comments

[CARBRINE]

lets hope the campaign is playable in this one, i Loved Arma 2s campaign's but the game just kept pushing itself back by stopping you complete missions with bugs.. I also hope they have 3rd person :DDDD

[deviletk]

@CARBRINE 3d person? I have 3d person in my ARMA2.

[CARBRINE]

i hope the UAV and the AH64D thing work's in editor like in Arma 2 Patch 1.05 i dont ever seeing you be able to do the Electronic Warfare thing with the Apache from the EW campaign.

[xXKuszaXx]

yeah uav from bad company 2 :)

[CARBRINE]

@xXKuszaXx It's actually a Little Bird the one in That run n gun game is just a make shift helicopter stop comparing stuff just because it's a helicopter.

[Bossafro]

It looks like they took a lot of the ideas some addon makers made and implemented them in the game. But as always, BIS makes them better. I can't wait for this to come out.

[BoAbkal]

wow look at that helicopter UAV. its like those videos i see of americans shooting iraqi soldiers. my goodness this is truly a good expansion. i have arma2, sadly its not working properly on my rig. but i dont care, i dont mind upgrading to play this game properly. imagine the endless possibilities with mission editor. wowwowow!!!

[AzamatoTheGreat]

using a machine gun on a chinook... with no hands.. yeah this is totally GOTY..

[DeadfastCZ]

Yeah, because how much you enjoy a game is purely based on the gun holding animations and texture size.

Now if you excuse me I think I will give Deus Ex another play-through.

[Kevin32001]

AzamatoTheGreats comment was stupid, theres a reason for hotfixes -.-

DeadfastCZ THANKYOU! for these videos. I love them.

[AnthemicPolemic]

@AzamatoTheGreat idiot

[darealgege]

i know, sorry if it was misunderstable :) i mean calling bohemia as a hungarian company is the typo, that guy is a hungarian coder, but bohemia is a czech company.

i really love that company :)

[aantiawp]

can't fucking wait

[scoutbr00]

does anybode here think that the desert has weird colors?

[DeadfastCZ]

Who exactly is we?

[TalesOfWar]

No. Untill everyone who plays it has a monster rig and an even more monster server. Rag-dollis VERY resource intensive, even more so on something this scale. It'd run out of resources in no time.

[Taunt86]

wow the terrain looks beast ^^, damn im so gonna buy this one, just need a new gpu till then ! anyone know when this is about to be released ??

[DeadfastCZ]

Sometimes in 2010, can't give you anything more specific I'm afraid.

[Taunt86]

@DeadfastCZ ah alright,  np man thats just what i wanted to hear ^_^

[spewg]

hmm nice new features.

can see they got some inspiration from some popular fps >.> :P

[DeadfastCZ]

I think most of the new features come from community requests/mods.

[TalesOfWar]

I think the inspiration comes from real life more than some "popular FPS". They're implementing some of the stuff they use in their training software used by NATO forces, VBS2, like the FLIR system. The units themselves are VBS2 units too as far as I can tell, but with normal maps on (VBS2 ditches these for performance).

[MarcinP2]

You are wrong about VBS models. Models made specifically for VBS2 would require too much work and they are not best suited for Arma2 engine (polycount/quality wise).

Try looking for VBS2 versions of the vehicles and compare.

[Grahamintehpond]

Why when I read anything about Arma 2 someone mentiones BF2 or CoD? get over it they are dumbed down games with terrible players that require no skill or tactics. You want to talk skill get Quake Live. Try aiming at targets moving fast while trying to avoid getting hit and dominating the map by starving your enemy of pickups. Arma although enjoyable hardly warrants a game of skill it is team work that wins the day and not individual prowess. Stop making jibes at other games...come on

[aantiawp]

so you'd say that an experienced pilot in arma has no skill? ;)

no no, i get what you're saying, i just don't think that arma doesn't require skill. it definitely does, in all areas. just a different type of skill, not aim and knowing a map.

[deviletk]

@daboss985 Probably not. We dont know though. Too much updating needed over all clients for that i think. This is not COD or BF2. This is much bigger. But who knows.

[BenceRAP]

Hungarian developers! :) Now that's nice.

[TalesOfWar]

They're not Hungarin, they're Czech. I think it was a typo in the subtitles, or maybe one of the team members was Hungarian.

[BenceRAP]

Lol, I know! :) But there are a few hungarian developers in the team.

[darealgege]

yeah the guy who worked on the sounds is hungarian (by this video), but bohemia is a Czech company.

it was a typo.

cant wait for operation arrowhead!

[DeadfastCZ]

It's not a typo, the guy IS Hungarian. Just because BIS is a Czech company doesn't mean it employs only Czechs ;)

[G84vids]

Thx DF! Keep up the good work! :)

[deviletk]

Damn i love BIS... One of the only few dev companies that actually listens to their players and are in tune with us. The community makes addons - they get very popular - BIS adds similar systems into their next release. Not only that but all the patches where we can communicate with them through DH. That is rare, and this is one of the reasons we are almost 10 years faithful customers to BIS! Game companies out there - take notes.

[jblackrupert]

EA UK PR is subscribed to Bohemia's channel and twitter account.

[vetmusician]

@deviletk I couldnt agree with you more...............these guys are heavy on talent, and low on bullshit......................­...when huge profits and greed dont effect a company..................you get BIS...........................­..the "BIG" companies are too busy ripping off people and counting their money to keep in touch with us

[ChristianCohn]

Hmm "Radar Warning Receiver" and Flares to distract radar guided missles?

:-)

Landscape looks great and infos about sound system rework is nice... hope the odd 10 sounds at once limit will be removed!

I want to hear every single shot, bulletcrack, etc,. even in a large firefight. Rest of Soundsystem was already nice in Arma2 IMHO.

Thanks Deadfast! ;-)

[Gnat666x]

Noticed circular radar in top left corner.

[DeadfastCZ]

@Gnat666x: Yes, that's the top-down view he was talking about. Sadly the camera position was less than ideal :(

[rakgitarmen]

TAB-FIRE TAB-FIRE TAB-FIRE the Ultimate War Simulation returns.

More of the same, nothing to see here. Move along.

[jblackrupert]

Thanks Deadfast.

[Banderas23mfr]

Deadfast, guy says in Hungarian:

"We will have a new sound system, the whole audio will be reworked, we'll totally rebuild the whole thing."

[IWannabeJew]

Hmmm. I wonder what prompted that decision.

[jblackrupert]

As Sion Lenton said....... NICE!

[richiespeedisback]

Nice...

[IWannabeJew]

Eh?

[MrOldCrow]

can't wait for all these new features in CTI...

[etranger84]

yeah me 2...this will be the game for me! i love arma. hope the apache-uav uplink works in cti, too.

[neokika23]

Deadfast, thanks a lot for the translation...

[Rhymon43]

mh reworking the audio system......sounds good so far, i really really hope they get some atmospheric radio chatter in this game now...!!! the robotic voices are terrible, but playing withtout any chatter is stupid also...

[TalesOfWar]

The robotic sound is due to real time scentence stringing. Each word is seperate, so things often sound disjointed as they're created on the fly rather than all being prerecorded strings. It'd take way too much time and money to do them all seperately and require a few extra DVD's of content lol. Real time accurate voice simulation is hard to pull off properly.

[jonnyfilmboy]

Amazing what such a small company is capable of producing.

[Minimalaco]

waaaaaaa, excelent !!!!

[deviletk]

Cont from below...

Unless thats added to the video by the show ofcourse. Might be actually. It sounds really good.

[deviletk]

1:37 and 1:53 you can hear bulletcrack sequences and some battle and even though low it sounds way better than ARMA2. :)

And thanks a bunch Deadfast for yet another translation. ;)

[jozsik1337]

Here's the hungarian translation lads:

"We're going to have a new sound system, the whole audio is getting reworked as it is. We're rebuilding it entirely."

[sparks444]

wow

[DeadfastCZ]

Can anybody confirm this?

[DancZer1]

Yes, hes say that. Im hungarian too. :)

[DeadfastCZ]

Thank you all, subs for the Hungarian part added.

[deviletk]

That sounds awesome if true. :)

[DJSaxon]

Thanks for the translation Deadfast!

[CamNM1991]

Thank you Deadfast.

disappointed with the showing only 5 mintes, takistan looks fun!

[1Scrub1]

Thank you. Totally appreciate your effort!

[sparks444]

You rock deadfast

[klbrumann]

Love you deadfast!

[JasonArmARPG]

Nice one Deadfast.
