I will make a mission with you in about 6 days, sorry for the wait, the place where I ordered my new video card and stuff, ARMA 2 comes out on the 30th. But my AIM is xironmanfuryx. Read my specs on my profile to prove that I won't lag. Subscribe too please!
Low End, Single Core PC's will have a lag fest on normal settings. However, a suitable, medium range video card, combined with a good amount of RAM and a decent CPU should run the game well with good visual quality. My single core runs the game okay on low settings, but I'm going to blame it on the processor.
@semperfi122 I got an i7 920 6gb ram and ati 5770, I can play most of the lastest game quite smoothly, but this game runs kind of slow, and mouse lags a lot
if you look at Virtual Battlespace® 1 and 2 which Armed Assault 2 is using that engine ( not called arma2 engine just for info ) VBS1 and VBS2 look and play so much better. is this because its cross-platform now ?
yeh although this is from last year they should make a release date for PC and work longer on the consoles XD because AI could defo be better on xbox 360 and PS3
This looks like ArmA 1.5... I am not very pleased with this. Same crappy radio chatter. The AI STILL thinks that laying in the middle of a street is tactical. The SAME animations, and stail environment. I want a NEW game, not an expansion of the first game...
This game has so much potential but from the looks of this video and all the other ones that i have seen for ArmA 2 the only big change is the graphics. the guns sound the same, the death animations look the same, i mean come on....i still have very high hopes for this game though.
i love Arma this looks like it will be realy fun to, only thing is sometimes the AI can be smart and other times they're fricken retarded. like online i ran right in front of an enemy and just stood there. i shot him he went prone while i was franticly letting rip shots until i finally killed him
That's why some people on the game industry called it the "most realistic environment" even some said it was better than Crysis. It's outdated still it makes it. LOL
It's a very realistic simulation , but the environment itself is very dead and non dynamic/realistic. The engine is clearly a hotted up version of OPF engine and Arma 2 is just hotted up again.
It also suffers from bad optimization.(Arma 1)
Other things is their damage model , still look very stiff and unrealistic and the AI was a joke in the first Arma, so was the cheating in multiplayer.(No anti cheat at beginning)
It's not Operation Flashpoint engine. It is based on its principles but Operation Flashpoint engine wasn't built to do the kind of stuff this one does. And for ArmA2 they reconstructed all over again since ArmA 1
Ive never seen a 100 vs 100 game ever in armed assault. The most ive seen is 64and the biggest ive been in is 50+. I think the engine supports up to 128 players.
Well the animations sucked in the first of the series too, both OFP and ArmA. However despite the flaws, these were legendary games. What BIS is aiming for now is pure variety, looks, sounds, and maintaining the realism from before. It can be improved but it certainly isn't first on their minds, friend.
This video is worse than most OFP2 vids, as far as commenters go. This is a fucking CoD/OFP2 fanboy infested video. Damn, it's like a nest behind enemy lines. However at least when ArmA fans take a trip over to OFP2 vids, they actually make sense. I just read some fanboy saying that ArmA 2 looked like "poopy". That says it all for me about what the apparent "sequel" (According to new Flashpoint fans) has become, along with it's new community. I used to be a major supporter of OFP2, I regret it.
for ARMA the speed of your proccessor made a reasonable difference to the AI, with my old computer (some old pentium 4 2.6Ghz) the AI took alot longer to react than they do now with my Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz. After getting my new computer i actually noticed the difference.
so far all the videos of OPF2 have not been ingame. They are all pre-rendered. They have only shown 30secs of actual gameplay footage which really shows nothing about the game
Screen shots cannot proveanything, theyshow graphics theydon't show gameplay.
I don't think you can call it a combat simulator from what is available, they look to be focusing on graphics. Plus the fact you only get 32 online takes away from it seriously....
ArmA can have an unlimited number ofplayers, its simply a matter of the servers ability
Yeah, so far it looks like 70-80% OFP, 20-30% BF2. Believe me, we are protesting like hell in the official forums about the arcade-ish aspects. Followers of OFP2 are made up mostly of OFP and ArmA players such as myself, so you can count on it.
Problem is the OFP/ArmA fans are small in numbers BF2 fans are a large group. Inevitably they are in it for money just as with Bohemia and so will feed the fan base with the highest numbers.
Fortunately, I haven't really seen any BF2 fans on the forums aside from people who suggest playing the PR mod. I just read an IGN article as well as a Gamespot article. Assuming they are telling the truth, the gameplay is just like OFP/ArmA, with long range planned firerights. Search for OFP2 on IGN's website and choose the PC version. The article is there, from a day or so ago.
Codemasters published OFP1, got the rights for the name, and is now stealing BI's idea.
Codemasters is shit.
If you want quality, go with BI.
And the graphics in OFP2 is shit... All the videos are pre-renders (10x better looking than in-game), and I bet you, that OFP2 is not even remotely as awesome as ArmA!
Well it's obvious what you are. You just love a franchise because it's 'there' without even considering options. You base all your rationale on past games and titles. You're a straight out idiot.
I can see this being a change from call of duty, i havn't played ArmA but I'm guessing it is a much more tactical game. Realism a key factor in development it seems although I'm just presuming here.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Believe it or not taking up a prone position in the street with an LMG (like you guys are complaining about) is a tactic that has been and is still used today to put heavy concentrated fire on anything coming down the road or across it while the rest of your squad moves across or takes more broad positions to eliminate a precise enemy threat
Although "mastershaq" is 110 % correct Im still agreeing with what others say its not what they're "doing" its how they do it it seems like they have only 2 point movements kneel and then prone no realism to it although I did see a trailer it seemed better than this
Exactly. Lost of people are complaining that in ArmA 1 and preview videos of ArmA 2, 90% of all soldiers spend their time in the prone position, not moving at all.
Most importantly, what processor is it? if it is dual core 2ghz it should be absolutely fine. im guessing from the other spec it will be; however if it is a laptop dont expect to run it on high settings
Arma I was a really good game with all those mods. But on the Xbox 360 (wich I'm buying) it isn't that possible to mod by the community. Arma II should make the sounds of weapons firing and AI speaking better. Then Arma II will be a very enjoyable game.
I agree COMPLETELY....First got Arma1 and thought the sounds and models were beyond mediocre.....with mods, they ROCKED and the game ended up rocking more....however, they didnt seem to learn from that.
But of course it all depends on the individual situation. Sometimes it definetely is better to run into cover, especially if you have no chance of spotting your enemy. But if you can see him, you can shoot him. That's an important rule.
I hate that enemy go prone in every enemy contact. If you are in the open like in a field and u take enemy fire, do you go prone all maybe run to the nearest cover? And AI should react to enemy fire by shooting back and maneuvering to cover. But this vid seemed better than Arma (1).
Going prone is the best thing you can do. How does "shooting back and manevering to cover" look to you? You know that it's practically impossible to shoot accurately while moving? Even most players react like this in OFP and ARMA so do you think that the AI is stupid even if it seems natural to behave like this?
Correct. You hope that your aiming and firepower and your squad's coordination are good enough to eliminate the threat. Warfare is about chances you know. For example (not real values): Going prone and shooting back gives you like a 40% chance of survival. Running to cover is very risky since you'r a large target and well visible. And then what? You're loosing your whole flexibility for cover. Your enemy can outflank you, he may still hit you, he knows your position but you don't know his... so?
Ok, off course this depends very much about the exact situation and distances so its hard to conversate whats right and what isnt. But do u say that arma AI is good and realistic in every situations? No way, maybe it does what they say in the manuals but in real life it might not be the best idea.
But my point was that, if u are being fired bullets fly through air around u, I think its the time to open fire in to direction of enemy fire,this will give them something other thinking than aimin u
Naah, I just don't like people complaining about going prone and proposing actions themselves like "running into cover while shooting back" which aren't any better. Actually the Arma AI even doesn't act like the one from the manuals and I don't think its behaviour is very good either but it's a fact that most players will just go prone once they're under fire especially in open field and seriously: that's what OFP and Arma are mainly simulating so in most cases the AI does the right thing. ;)
But if the Ai would do that and not just go prone like a robot, it would give some action to gameplay. Now u just try to shoot the proned enemy, while avoiding their super accuracy. It just so predictabele what they do.
And i certainly dont understand why my comments have 3 minus points and im only critizing the game. And then people that say "arma is goodz but arma 2 will be badass wheez" get 3 points .. Dazzed and confused
Sure that would add action but hey, that's not what this is about. In games like Call of Duty you find idiotic enemies that just behave that stupid so you can kill as many of them as possible - sure, that's action but not realism. And I'm sure you never played ArmA online 'cause than you'd stop complaining about this since it's true: Many players just go prone and then an aiming duel begins. And seriously: The AI's accuracy isn't that incredible. In fact mostly you slightly have the upper hand.
Im sure that many things u said is true but still u should think that even u can be wrong. You just think u are right in every case. Critisize urself sometimes, And i do play arma online, so thats sure thing were u are wrong. I will not argue about this anymore.
i'm sure it'll be an improvement in all areas of the original ArmA but this video really didn't demonstrate improved AI, seemed to be running around like headless chickens and taking up prone/stand prone/stand positions every 5 seconds just like in ArmA.
As for covering each direction whilst lying IN the middle of the road...truelly clever AI would of got themselves off the road.
It actually did demonstrate exactly that if you watch you can see how they formed a cohesive defense parameter that L shaped formation is called refuse left and you can see how different characters took different stances for support. Now I hope they have the V hedge and rotating left and right abilitys as well as with fire support on withdrawl.
its ARMA1 with better graphics, nothing more, the AI is still stupid, react too slow and AI lying down to "take cover" in the middle of a street? cmon!
FFN animations ARE based on ArmAs, yeah. But arma has more animations than it uses...
Whats more, FFN AI are scripts, if you know what's this... ^^
About ArmA2, don' force me to say that this AI is good because he camp under tree and in the middle of street. I want to see more and I want to see hand signals, tactics.. Then I will say whatever you want.
Would be nice if we had AI that actually learned from past mistakes ~ And agreed I would love to see them under fire rotating left or right and attempting to close the door on another team.
And where are the differences between the AI from Arma 1 and those here by Arma 2? A sniper kills a soldier near his teammate and he do nothing.. just waiting that the sniper goin to kill him too. Looks really like the same crap AI from Arma 1! And why they don`t fix the main problems like the reload and driving animations? Damn!
Anyway, I love Arma 1 and i still gonna do it by Arma 2^^
No but they are entirely different the scale of ArmA is a huge attraction as is the realism, i imagine thats why most people by it. I certainly did for that reason.
i remeber when arma came out ppl were freaking out saying that bohemia were traitors but when Ofp dragons rising came out everyone took that back lol

Most importantly, what processor is it? if it is dual core 2ghz it should be absolutely fine. im guessing from the other spec it will be; however if it is a laptop dont expect to run it on high settings

the processor he is using is a dual core 3.0ghz he says in another vid

Arma I was a really good game with all those mods. But on the Xbox 360 (wich I'm buying) it isn't that possible to mod by the community. Arma II should make the sounds of weapons firing and AI speaking better. Then Arma II will be a very enjoyable game.
bartnauta 3 years ago 2
I agree COMPLETELY....First got Arma1 and thought the sounds and models were beyond mediocre.....with mods, they ROCKED and the game ended up rocking more....however, they didnt seem to learn from that.

i hope they fix the AI speaking quality, thats what really brought the game down for me
JakeW117 3 years ago
Not to mention the constant laying-down maneuver they love to pull.
Looter222 3 years ago
But of course it all depends on the individual situation. Sometimes it definetely is better to run into cover, especially if you have no chance of spotting your enemy. But if you can see him, you can shoot him. That's an important rule.
fotakatos 3 years ago
I hate that enemy go prone in every enemy contact. If you are in the open like in a field and u take enemy fire, do you go prone all maybe run to the nearest cover? And AI should react to enemy fire by shooting back and maneuvering to cover. But this vid seemed better than Arma (1).
Bonne123 3 years ago
Going prone is the best thing you can do. How does "shooting back and manevering to cover" look to you? You know that it's practically impossible to shoot accurately while moving? Even most players react like this in OFP and ARMA so do you think that the AI is stupid even if it seems natural to behave like this?
fotakatos 3 years ago
Going prone and then what? U stay there and hope the best, right?
Bonne123 3 years ago
Correct. You hope that your aiming and firepower and your squad's coordination are good enough to eliminate the threat. Warfare is about chances you know. For example (not real values): Going prone and shooting back gives you like a 40% chance of survival. Running to cover is very risky since you'r a large target and well visible. And then what? You're loosing your whole flexibility for cover. Your enemy can outflank you, he may still hit you, he knows your position but you don't know his... so?
fotakatos 3 years ago
Ok, off course this depends very much about the exact situation and distances so its hard to conversate whats right and what isnt. But do u say that arma AI is good and realistic in every situations? No way, maybe it does what they say in the manuals but in real life it might not be the best idea.
But my point was that, if u are being fired bullets fly through air around u, I think its the time to open fire in to direction of enemy fire,this will give them something other thinking than aimin u
Bonne123 3 years ago
Naah, I just don't like people complaining about going prone and proposing actions themselves like "running into cover while shooting back" which aren't any better. Actually the Arma AI even doesn't act like the one from the manuals and I don't think its behaviour is very good either but it's a fact that most players will just go prone once they're under fire especially in open field and seriously: that's what OFP and Arma are mainly simulating so in most cases the AI does the right thing. ;)
fotakatos 3 years ago
But if the Ai would do that and not just go prone like a robot, it would give some action to gameplay. Now u just try to shoot the proned enemy, while avoiding their super accuracy. It just so predictabele what they do.
Bonne123 3 years ago
And i certainly dont understand why my comments have 3 minus points and im only critizing the game. And then people that say "arma is goodz but arma 2 will be badass wheez" get 3 points .. Dazzed and confused
Bonne123 3 years ago
Sure that would add action but hey, that's not what this is about. In games like Call of Duty you find idiotic enemies that just behave that stupid so you can kill as many of them as possible - sure, that's action but not realism. And I'm sure you never played ArmA online 'cause than you'd stop complaining about this since it's true: Many players just go prone and then an aiming duel begins. And seriously: The AI's accuracy isn't that incredible. In fact mostly you slightly have the upper hand.
fotakatos 3 years ago 2
Im sure that many things u said is true but still u should think that even u can be wrong. You just think u are right in every case. Critisize urself sometimes, And i do play arma online, so thats sure thing were u are wrong. I will not argue about this anymore.

They Should do that ArmA dont need cd key for playing Multiplayer !

i'm sure it'll be an improvement in all areas of the original ArmA but this video really didn't demonstrate improved AI, seemed to be running around like headless chickens and taking up prone/stand prone/stand positions every 5 seconds just like in ArmA.
As for covering each direction whilst lying IN the middle of the road...truelly clever AI would of got themselves off the road.
PocusUK 3 years ago 2
Hi Pos,
It actually did demonstrate exactly that if you watch you can see how they formed a cohesive defense parameter that L shaped formation is called refuse left and you can see how different characters took different stances for support. Now I hope they have the V hedge and rotating left and right abilitys as well as with fire support on withdrawl.

Forgot to add.
We've shot one of teams member with S rifle from 200m.
ArmA: AI gone prone, starting shooting after 2nd shot.
FFN: AI started looking for cover dropping smoke shells.
ArmA2: Dragtime, I will let you finish this one... :)
Vultar666 3 years ago
its ARMA1 with better graphics, nothing more, the AI is still stupid, react too slow and AI lying down to "take cover" in the middle of a street? cmon!
roccoschoko 3 years ago
Not true!
Dragtime 3 years ago
BIS! We want more!
It's still nothing impressive.
We add FFN mod and ArmA1 AI is better.
Vultar666 3 years ago 3
To be honest, BIS ARmA2 AI is going to be a lot better than FFN MOd (Which is still based on ArmA BIS AI)
Dragtime 3 years ago
Nope, it's not goin to be better. FFN react fast, take cover, camp, capture buildings and camp on sniper spots. Also FFN got better animations.
Vultar666 3 years ago
Omg,
All FFN animations are from standart ArmA.
You don't get it: FFN AI is heavly based on the original Ai with some tweaks.
ArmA2 engine is extended from pro's, and you already see how good they are
Dragtime 3 years ago
FFN animations ARE based on ArmAs, yeah. But arma has more animations than it uses...
Whats more, FFN AI are scripts, if you know what's this... ^^
About ArmA2, don' force me to say that this AI is good because he camp under tree and in the middle of street. I want to see more and I want to see hand signals, tactics.. Then I will say whatever you want.
Vultar666 3 years ago
Would be nice if we had AI that actually learned from past mistakes ~ And agreed I would love to see them under fire rotating left or right and attempting to close the door on another team.
Angelisv 3 years ago
And where are the differences between the AI from Arma 1 and those here by Arma 2? A sniper kills a soldier near his teammate and he do nothing.. just waiting that the sniper goin to kill him too. Looks really like the same crap AI from Arma 1! And why they don`t fix the main problems like the reload and driving animations? Damn!
Anyway, I love Arma 1 and i still gonna do it by Arma 2^^

I know it isn't Crysis level...but the textures of the grass and bits of the soldiers look really good. Way beyond the previous games.
beepandbop 3 years ago
No but they are entirely different the scale of ArmA is a huge attraction as is the realism, i imagine thats why most people by it. I certainly did for that reason.
Appclypse 3 years ago
Well at the end, when they were showing the soldiers walking the grass and so forth, I thought that looked really amazing...graphically. Was I alone?
