ArmA 2 Artillery system test 1

[rmj2n]

How can you command a gun line without actually needing to get in the gun?

[DonxxSollozzo]

MAN! I regret not getting ARMA 2 for my xbox..

[Crazybenjiwoo]

@DonxxSollozzo :| its not on xbox...

[DonxxSollozzo]

@Crazybenjiwoo I know. But I remember the time before it got out, and they announced it was coming for xbox. But it never did...

[228Ghost228]

how exactly do i aim with that complicated crosshair on the map? i havnt found out yet :(

[eelliek0]

Lol ps3 and xbox are computers there just there for profit and so that people dont have too deal with trying to get the crrect computer for them.....

[laxAddict992]

how do you change types of shells to fire?

[godfatherduck]

hahaha, I would love to blow up civilians!!!! :):)

its just a game ^^

[HaloWarlord117117]

dude wtf,you tested artillery on a town?? there could be innocents in there!

[wadad17]

Its kinda like a survey. just without asking, and instead of knocking, they just blow up your neighbors house.

[HaloWarlord117117]

rofl good answer

good day see your neighbors house down the way ?well watch

ok guys

*BOOOM*

lol

[firebad0]

@HaloWarlord117117 innocence is only a facial expression.

[BuzzinFr0g]

If you don't mind my asking, what is the instrumental? Fantastic video.

[PsychoDad89]

It's from the ArmA2 soundtrack called "Vague shapes"

[BuzzinFr0g]

I appreciate it.

[XDLOL211]

why didnt you use heavy artillery?

[goldendisc]

Those flares were amazing, any enemy it that town at the time would have shit themselves :P

[arcano92]

CAn't wait til this thing hits the US. Been waiting since 2008 for this @_@

[HendrickFan2488548]

umm  its been out since july 9th

[arcano92]

Not through a US retailer for PS3 ;)

It was released exclusively for PC in Germany. It's expected to be out for PS3

[HendrickFan2488548]

well  in almost every game i would suggest getting the pc version

and also im not sure whether or not its coming to consles

[arcano92]

It was already featured in game informer for PS3 :P Also, some of us don't have PCs that are capable of running it -- hence the need for the PS3 release.

And erm... why do you reccomend getting the PC version of almost every game? 95% of them are exactly the same.

[PsychoDad89]

They only had plans for a 360 release, they never said that they'd release it on PS3.

[arcano92]

Other way around

[gamerman001]

no it was 360 bud look up bohemia interactives vids theyl telll ya all about it...lolz score another for 360. and the only reason its on 360 is cause blu ray cant hold this game.

[arcano92]

I aint your buddy guy.

And what do you mean blue ray can't hold the game? What about dvds?

[arcano92]

Ah, that sucks. Looks like I'll have to update my PC... Thanks for the info :)

...I'm not your friend buddy

[gamerman001]

im not your buddy guy. and i know alot of people dont like alienware. but i highly recommend the new alienware aurora alx for this game.

[sarfanco]

What are you on about..

seroisly dude you dont know what your talking about.

[gamerman001]

no im positive i know its gonna be on pc and 360 only watch the dev diary. the creator of arma 2 and head of bohemia interactive said that it will be on pc and 360 only. they even have some gameplay.

[sarfanco]

i was meaning more of. why the ps3 cant play this because of blu ray?

the ps3 would run the game much better than an xbox. its just a fact, but a PC is the best for these types of games to get the most out of it :)

[gamerman001]

i do agree with you that pc is made for this game and vice versa...but bohemia interactive doesnt want this game on blu ray for some reason and...xbox is better bro. theres a reason why its been console of the year since it came out. and the guy on the dev diary talks about how he didnt want the company to make a bad investment. no offence tho u seem pretty cool. do u have this game on pc?

[sarfanco]

Indeed.

But i still cant agree that the xbox is better.

its just cheeper. if it was out for the ps3 the ps3 would handle more depth of the game, than the xbox due to the power and systum specs. Their is no logic in how it can be better when all the truth is staring us all in the face. More people have an xbox, so more money. people might buy a ps3 just for arma but why would they do that if you can just spend that ammount upgrading your pc.

Yes i got this game on PC :)

[gamerman001]

xbox is better...i rest my case lolz

[sarfanco]

No its not.. each to their own

[gamerman001]

..xbox is better... said so on g4 tv console of the year...AGAIN lolz

[sarfanco]

You beleive everything you hear..

Xbox is not better. its cheeper has less stuff

the ps3 on the other hand has more stuff and power.= higher price.

The facts are their but no one wants to know.. dont be so stuipid and go with the crowd LOOK at the evidence and fucking use your brain.

[3rdIDCallaghan]

Correct, of all consoles, PS3 is the only one that is close to being powerful enough to run this. What you must remember, is that the PC is designed to play console type games - i.e. it is optimised for small maps, low draw distance, high close up detail and very low distant detail, simple AI and limited unit numbers. This game has up to 10000m draw distance and you can even make a core i7/quad SLI/16gb RAM system cry without pushing the games engine to its limits.

[3rdIDCallaghan]

*correction 'PS3 is designed to play...', not 'PC'

[sharpshootertrigga]

A decent pc will shit all over ur gay ps3

[3rdIDCallaghan]

@sharpshootertrigga Read the complete comments silly boy.

[Keahlii]

@sharpshootertrigga a ps3 and xbox360 are still computers it has everything a computer would have which means its still a computer.....just because its called a console doesnt mean it isnt a computer its just another way to make more money.

[tokorev747777]

@Keahlii Correct!

[mckseal]

and yet my shitty 2 and a half yr old computer with a new HD4670 and 1gb ram runs this surprisingly well!

i can kick it up to high, but the little things that make the game very high kill my computer (ie antiallising and view distance :( )

[Secret1Top]

3rdIDCallaghan what are u sayng? I have 2.5 gb ram and this game works PERFECT

[3rdIDCallaghan]

@Secret1Top That means nothing, perfect to you may be completely insatisfactory to others. If you play large operations with multiple scripts you need a multicore. I can make my hd 5870 poop with the graphics settings alone. RAM only makes a difference in terms of terrain streaming and AI count, CPU power is the most important resource here, when playing PvP it is your graphics that really count as there is less AI to strain the CPU and RAM and you need clear detail at distance to compete well.

[coenieboy1993]

thnks a lot:D now i got another question: how dit you get the HE shells en then the phosphorus?

[coenieboy1993]

or explain is cauz i don;t no what you mean with game logic:p

[PsychoDad89]

press F7 and double click, now you can choose from different logic modules

[coenieboy1993]

plzzzzz tell me how/where you get that you can aim with the mortar etc. :D:D:d

[adiasasin]

nice game

[mikopop]

How did you warp over to see the shells landing? Or did you get ai to fire it

[Apocal43]

Single player. You can simply set multiple soldiers to playable. When playing hit "T" to get a menu to select which one you'd like to be.

[Srbija141]

where did u get the MORTAR?

[estepki]

I love the fact u get a map that shows u roughly where the shells will land :) that will make arty FUN! I thought ud just have to guess..... thankfully not :D And if people use proper FO comms.... XD *blah blah blah...* FOO: "Fire, Over" *pause* Arty: "Shot, Over" FOO: "Shot, Out" *pause* Arty: "Splash, Over" *BOOM* FOO: "Splash, Out" FOO: "Add 100, Cancel at my command, 5 Rounds Fire for Effect, Over" Arty: "Add 100, cancel at your command, 5 Rounds Fire For Effect, Out" etc etc.....

[mickjohn16]

how do you reload the mortar when you run out of ammo?

[VancouverCanucksRock]

Man that would be sick to have a howuitzer and you could tow it behiend your Humvee or a troop carrier truck, or other appropriate vehicle

[PsychoDad89]

Why retarded?

[HitmanBrian]

Good point...lol, i meant hotel, no idea what im thinking...

[HitmanBrian]

Im glad they actually made smoke bigger and not something that comes from a firecracker... Also the flares are intense, I could just imagine being in a firefight, WE NEED MORTAR BARRAGE AT COORDINATES GOLF HECTOR 32!!! 10 seconds later the bombs come down laying out the enemy! Hooah

[AvisSpes]

Hector??? Hector's never been used in the military. H is for hotel. (:

[dinokitty]

I've used Hector in my platoon, but your right it's not official.

[HushHumanity]

very nice music !

[sgtzane]

How do u get the AI to shoot artys ??? PLZ ANEONE HELP LOL

[MovieMakersCommunity]

Read the description

[Apocal43]

It's long and complicated.

Look up "ARTY Module" in google, it'll lead to thread explaining it.

[serbianyankee]

Sucks for the villagers!

[haggleshaggle]

Can be the mortar carried around? or is a humvee nececary?

[Runelegit]

i dont get it i made a arty module i make a mortar i sync it(idk if i did it good) but only thing i can shoot is HE i did get the screen where i could see where i was shooting(that map thing) i want to shoot WP or others but i dont get how

[PsychoDad89]

YOu have to add the other ammo types manually. Look for this addammo on the Biki.

[gyloir]

How is the sound detail? Is the sound delayed like it'd be in real life where you'd see the explosion before hearing it?

[PsychoDad89]

There is a delay if the explosion is far away

[sovietrat]

how can you make AI use artillery?

[Henners1991]

I used to love making missions on ArmA1... will I be able to get an AI to fire artillery? Or does the player have to do it? That is... fire a bombardment at a pre-determined place? And do they fire barrages of their own accord? Is there a way to "radio them in" spontaneously?

[sim0b]

Good point.

[kram2k]

Nice, now we can have some proper night illumination missions!

[Mo0nBugGy1]

I would have like the in-game sound better, but nice vid anyway.

[Ykm11]

If you want the same fuctionality you dont have to sync the arty module to the mortar, just place it anywhere, dont sync or group it, then you can enter any mortar and use the fire control system

[Northwind47]

Can you move the artillery around or is it permanently placed? I can understand with heavy artillery, but it would be really nice if you could pick up mortars and transport them around the battlefield.

[Ogryzek7889]

Is this in-game music?

[PsychoDad89]

Yes, it is ingame music

[antred11]

Kinda like the music. Adds a nice touch. I think once most of the bugs have been fixed (after 3 or 4 patches), ArmA2 is going to be a good game.

[hakka91]

Can you make a test video with the MLRS.

If you can, you will be my god.

[MarkoSRBa]

@hakka91 Popusi mi kurac idolpoklonice.

[dago00]

thanks to the game logics system, even an idiot like me (when it comes to scripting) can make some sophisticated missions!! yay BIS

[Ralfst3r]

Sweet demo, can you use that system for regular artillery aswell? Or just mortars?

[PsychoDad89]

Regular arty doesn't work yet, but yes you can use that system for all artillery pieces in the game
