[CalleLB8]

[charlieboy76]

can't wate..

[Aquahorseify]

@charlieboy76 For what?

[crazytubex]

how to i order a heli to land and how to i ordder a plane to do an airstrike????

[ARMA2official]

@crazytubex Hello, It depends on what role in the group you are or if you are designing a mission in the edior.

If you are the player, the simplest method is to order a member of your group into a helicopter, and it will land.

If you are a designer, you deploy a scipting command, using the helicopter's name and the land command.

i.e. "variable_name" land "land";

[pvthudson01]

These videos are awesome thanks

[thebestpioltever]

Didnt he say he didnt want to go into the town before he checked. then ordered his men to go through the town to get to hill? he didnt think that through...

[Lobos222]

Its not the fastest.

What the system needs is buttons that directly selects the team without going through all the scrolling menus. Example 1 is red team ,2 etc,3,4.

With the current ability to configure all the teams with different settings you would then have a much easier time reacting to incoming fire instead of the "omg lets start scrolling though menus, oh noes I am dead" stuff you have now.

Instead it would be:

M (map), 1 (red team), hover mouse left click to go or attack target...

[VyTe86]

whats your FPS and settings, it runs very smooth for this configuration ;)

[ARMA2official]

Depending on the number of active objects/models in close distance. It vary from 20 to 35 FPS.

[Andreas360dk]

@ARMA2official why has you not a total strong computer?

[Makron5]

@Andreas360dk To demonstrate the system requirements need not be so heavy.

[DullerCorpse]

@ARMA2official

It looks very smooth.

[W4RRIOR91]

@ARMA2official

I can play well with my configuration?

Core 2 quad q9300,2.50 ghz,Ram 6 GB,Ati 5870 X-vapor overclock edition (1gb)?

[CTCCoco]

@W4RRIOR91 No, you can't, you need a better PC... maybe on very low settings but 10-15fps, no more.

[Kristian1944]

I want that computer he is playing on ^^

[JohnnyBoy755]

I never took the time to actually watch this series, but it is a must watch for those new at the game. The game requires a powerful rig though(If you wish to run it on Very High), as some of you may have found out. It is well worth to upgrade your PC for this game. The possibilities are nearly endless of what you can do in this game. There are always new missions being made by the community and you can create your own.

[dethcx22]

totally agree with karadan100 should not come to consoles.

[norseman325]

Can you stay in third person in this game like in socom

[PsychedelicSodaCan]

yes.

[RocketMaster2]

Yes, in any vehicle you can too.

[norseman325]

Is this really coming to ps3. I havent heard much about a console version.

[wifoutteef]

No.

[MsMrbenjamin]

no it isnt

[TheMast3rBF2]

OMGgive me his PC. my card cant run the game on high :S

[RAULO3]

you guys know the gameplay video of the 360 arma 2...on ign it does not look as good as the pc but a it has a editor.

which ofp dr for the console dont have one. so i give them points on that one.

[2matous]

no no engine is new version

[Guerillaslo]

This game have 8 years old engine and is not optimization mybe BIS need new engine(unreal 3.0) , this game is otherwise good.

[IamArab1]

unreal 3.0 couldnt do what this engine can do so be quiet.

[teckim]

Well, this engine doesn't work anyway so might as well use another properly working one.

By reading the BI forums i see alot of angry ppl claiming the game is too flawed, lots of bugs/performance issues etc, and that made me pass on this game.

Looks awesome though.

[mckseal]

it is awesome

[secondlifecopybot]

I got the game a couple days ago and, apart from some bugs (which is common in all games) it's fantastic! It's difficult, so don't get discouraged, but after 2 days of playing and watching videos and playing the tutorials and single player missions, I'm deadly on the battlefield!

[t2bstryker]

game looks great....but il still miss rambo

[karadan100]

Some games simply shouldn't be ported to a console. This is one of them. I love Arma2. I love war simulators. That is why i play games on my PC because there is no substitute for a mouse and keyboard.

My Xbox has its place in the living room on which i play things like Forza, GTA IV and COD4.

[ToastDevourer]

I agree.

[zachbdude]

the character voices sound like shit, but the rest looks awsome. is this game only for PC?

[tagertag12]

PC came out but I heard they will come out for PS3 and XBOX360.

[MulleDK13]

The voioces are created dynamicly to say anything.

The game is only for the PC. There have been rumors of a Xbox 360 version, but I doubt it very much. There will NOT be a PS3 version under any circumstances.

[RadicalNoran]

your a jerk

if the uber fat 360 kids get it

then so should we

:P

[MulleDK13]

There's no way ARMA 2 will ever be on the PS3, or even considered.

The PS3 is a nightmare to develop anything for.

Gabe Newell: "The PS3 is a total disaster on so many levels, I think Its really clear that Sony lost track of what customers and what developers wanted. Id say, even at this late date, they should just cancel it and do a do over. Just say, This was a horrible disaster and were sorry and were going to stop selling this and stop trying to convince people to develop for it."

[taiga36]

Its absolutely true about the PS3 development... I could see it going to consoles though, depending on what the developers want to do with this game. (The controls scheme would be.... Gross...) I doubt they will but, I could see 'Dragon Rising' going to console as -they- want to cater to that audience.

I don't think they should dev/port a console version though. Patches and updates would be much more appreciated.

[MulleDK13]

Dragon Rising is being developed equally for all platforms. Console version won't have what the PC won't have, and the PC won't have what the Console won't have.

That's why it has a consolish interface, and only allow 16 players online.

Also, it's a Games for Windows game, meaning every patch will need to go through Microsoft, which will take a few weeks.

[nyran125]

this game unlike all other fps games actually requires you to learn the game. So the longer you play the more fun this game will become. I have never ever played operation flashpoint, but i really appreciate Bohmeia's persistance with this style of gaming. There is nothing else anywhere that has this level of brilliance in a game. NOWHERE. It will take me a long time to understand the buttons. But i agree with the developer that once you understand the buttons it will be easy.

[ralfsta]

helpful video thank you

[Lobos222]

Its not the best system and I really hope they improve it for the expansion, or Arma 3.

What really annoys me is that its easier to assign people to teams than it is selecting one. How many times have people, instead of selecting a team, assigned everyone to team X...

It should be Teams first and Assign team as a sub menu, unlike reversed, which its like now.

[Coldkilla9]

Good video, but, here's the problem with "Team Command" in this game - this is coming from a 2001 player.

Sometimes units get into a vehicle (EX: BMP Ambulance), the DISEMBARK option is the default "dynamic" option once they get in, so when you naturally click on the map without thinking - like you could the last 8 YEARS, you automatically make your men disembark because of some contextual based crap that makes the games default command for a unit "disembark" in the radio when using the map.

[hatbootfish]

i noteced that, anoying

[VanguardDragon]

Does anyone know how to use squad leaders and team leaders under your command? How do you get them to control their own subordinates? I did it once with colour assignment but i can't remember what i did.

[PairoftheSocks]

Do you think Jan is secretly a robot?

[1983ginger123]

Thanks Jan! Good job :)

[Bladex127]

wtf he says at 0:53 - 0:58 ?

[richiespeedisback]

However when you master it.

[Jamzeel]

"I admit it has a steep learning curve, however, when you master it, it's probably the fastest possible method."

[nik12937]

i hate using the scroll wheel to select things, my scroll wheel is so fucking sensitive, it moves like 3 spaces instead of 1

[IWannabeJew]

Can't you adjust that in your mouse software?

[nik12937]

i love you... no homo, but i feel stupid for not doing that in the first place (:

[IWannabeJew]

It was just a guess on my part, but I'm glad it helped.

I'd love to be playing the game, right now, myself.

[PTParatrooper]

new muzzle flash?

[jblackrupert]

God that "Fuck that hurtssss" voice is hilarious. Can't stop laughing whenever I hear in the game.

[PairoftheSocks]

It does sound funny.

[Ingeneer1977]

Helpful for newbees, i think...

[Uinb]

I liked the "Cheers" at the end.

I already knew most of this stuff from the previous games but it's good to see them posting these videos. Lets hope they fix all the bugs now.

[englandleeds]

Keep up the great Videos

[Ragzz1234]

If anyone is wondering why it goes so fast int eh start it is because they have forwarded time, you can do this using ´ and +. I may be wrong though.

[arthuro13]

Ive spot another bad guy.

*bullet hits*

OOoo F*ck that hurts D:!

xD

[codycommander97]
