Both Arma2 and VBS2 are DEVELOPED BY THE SAME COMPANY.
VBS2 is Arma2 for militaries and others wanting a VR battle simulator.
To start with, both use the VR3 engine furthermore any differences in customization and GUI layout will simple come down to the design goal differences between an FPS game and military training simulation application.
So please no more fanboys wars over this and Arma2
From what I've read, this "game" or should I say simulator, is probably the most realistic game on the market (I read the Wikipedia article and it said that it's been used by actual Armed forces to train their members). But I've also heard that to buy it (because it's an actual military training tool) will cost an insane sum of around $500. Can anyone verify or disprove anything I've said?
@arup02 Arma is about 30 dollars, VBS2 is over 1000 dollars. Both use same engine but the ammount of content and features blows arma 2 away. VBS is for training only while arma 2 is for "entertainment"
Arma is the most realistic game you can get unless you want to play VBS and spend a fortune on it.
I wonder why you never see all these retards asking for REALIZUM in games singing praises for stuff like this or ARMA. These games are the the most tactical shooters out there on the market right now.
Please dont think about buying arma unless ur a mature gamer, if you have bought cod and enjoy it DO NOT BUY ARMA 2 PLZ. Sick of fucking noobs running by themselfs without there squad thinking they have some Cod perks or someshit
@mdc0rqj It's not meant to look pretty, it is a tactical training tool used by world militaries to train their troops in various aspects of combat with different weapon platforms and theaters of operations. Go back to Call of Duty and leave this one alone.
you can buy this game but you have to get a private license from the army and with all the modules it cost about 1500 only really good thing that you can get on VBS2 that you cant get on arma2 is the wicked editor with the real time edit and what not
@RoughneckSixFour well kinda its not from the army but its BI and you have to buy a enterprise license but you wont be able to get one enless you are like an army or a PMC or something of that nature
@leathery22: More lies. Please stop quoting inaccurate rumors as fact. Individuals may procure a "Personal Edition" license from BiSimulations for considerably less than you have stated and it is not modular as its predecessor was.
@spitfireMK22 Its not a game mate its a simulator for military and becasue ausie military bought the training program they included their uniforms and weapons
cuz Americas army is just an add for the army. Bohemia interactive actually develops military grade VR simulations for the use of Military tactics and senario training. ArmA and ArmA2 is just a sample of what they do.
VBS is not sold to the general public. VBS is a Virtual Military Training Program meant only for the use in training military personel. I don't think it's possible for a civilian to purchase this game at all, so you're just going to have to stick with Arma 2.
i have to disagree with the 3rd statement. most of the servers i've played on aren't riddled with children 12 and under since it's a more tactical game and not a "run n'gun" like Call of Duty. the 2nd statement is more of an opinion. some people like it, others don't. I happen to like it better than ArmA 1 for many reasons other than the graphecs, and ArmA 1 btw seems to have WAY better graphics than ArmA 2 in my opinion.
You serious about ArmA I having better graphics than ArmA II? I think the graphics in ArmA I are cleaner but the forests and grass in ArmA II are a lot better.
@ravenjehuty u really think that arma 1 has better gfx than arma 2?
I think your settings are wrong. I play arma 2 and used to play arma 1, both on full settings - there is no comparison. Arma 2 blows Arma right out the water.
to be fair, yes, Arma 2 has obvious improvements over Arma as far as texture and detail, but in my opinion it seemed like Armas graphics were clearer, where as Arma 2 was a bit more blurry. Honestly speaking though, if i had to choose between the 2 games i'd choose Arma 2 because it has better gameplay compared to Arma1.
arma 2 is fukn badass wtf are u talking about??? right now im playing maps from arma 1 like avgani and sahrani with the caa1 mod. im also using the new ace mod for arma2 which is updated everyday and blows any ace mod from arma 1 out of the water. face it.........arma 2 is FINALLY living up to its expectations. It only gets better here on out. if you tried arrma 2, this goes for any1, try it again moded to ur likeing and tell me whatsup.dont hate
CAA1 is the way to go with Arma 2. Vanilla Arma 2 is pure crap compared to Arma. But maybe that's unfair as Arma 2 hasn't gotten its 128th patch yet. Arma 2 has butt-ugly vegetatation, AI that are dumber than signposts and a monotonous and ugly locale. The AI dialog is the worst I've seen in a game. And that's from a huge Arma franchise fan.
Using CAA1 and ACE 2 with some mods to help your AI mates pull their head out of their ass and yes, Arma 2 may be a worthwhile game.
its very close to real combat training, just saves the hassle and works great with nasty weather outside to keep the troops preparing for field ops or down range environment.
its a very nice experience i had with the vbs2 convoy ops simulator on some hp elite books :)
@BoOonkProductions because this has nothing to do with the army its software made by bohemia interactive licensed out to the military. Anybody can buy it (its $400 or something stupid like that) if you want this get arma 2 same engine but scaled back so its playable for the average person
The main gameplay differences weight up to few kilobytes each. Those are those little thingys which makes gameplay bugfree and much more enjoyable visually and in gameplay aspect.
And those are thing which Arma2 still lack of.
Examples: Proper handling of gun. Realistic recoil. More kicking sound of firearms. Faster and working animation transitions. Moving speed values for both vehicles and men.
I am a proud owner of VBS2. The gaming community for this game is very mature and serious about war games. The community comprises of military, ex-military and mature gamers. Don't expect to play with little kiddies or teenagers.
Gameplay is fun, realistic and very intense. I can see why real armies use this sim as a training tool. Apart from really joining the army, this is probably the closest you'll ever get to real war on a virtual battlefield.
This is pretty cool that You have Your VBS2, but i have question about it. If You shot in VBS1 / OFP, then the sight moves after shot back to exact place, but in Arma it doesn't, can You tell me, does it move in VBS2 back to it's exact place like in VBS1 / OFP
Sounds are still crappy. Tell everyone how much this mature gaming platform goes for. I would never pay for something like this. You have that kind of money to throw around on a game..... kudos to you.
You know nothing about the game. Perhaps you should reserve judgment & actually play the game. VBS2 is highly modifiable. There's a ton of add ons, which includes realistic sound packs. The VB2 community develops new addons all the time. Like the real military, this game is rapidly developing all the time.
It's not for bunny hopping FPS players who love Call of Duty fantasy games. VBS 2 is not for everyone.
Teeny Bopper statements like yours is a reason why I play VBS2 in the first place.
Just because Im not willing to play with "a hardcore mature gaming community" hardly makes me a teeny bopper who bunny hops. I play games such as BF PR, ARMA2, when I get bored and want to have a little fun I go to BFBC or BF1943 for the console. Please don't act like you know me. However I do know this game no matter how customized it can be it is not worth 1500 to 2000 bucks. That to me is such a waste of money. For that I could build a new comp. Like I said have fun with your money. lol.
VBS2 IS NOT $1500. It's $250 for a consumer version. VBS2 is a million dollar SIM w/ geodesic satellite data, specific military equipment data w/ true enemy techniques & procedures.
I am in the military and I have trained in VBS2 & the VBS environment makes ARMA2 look like Asteroids.
ARMA2 is made by the same developer for VBS2. It's a scaled down version of scenarios possible in VBS2. What people see in ARMA2 is less than 5% of what VBS2 can do
Last time I checked there site which was some months ago the game was listed at 1500. Also I think this could be a training tool but for a consumer version if it is 250(which is not the price I saw) then I still would not pay that amount. I don't care if it makes Arma 2 look bad cause I have fun with it and I know the modders will do what they can and the community for the more "Vanillia" if you will Arma2 is massive and just as serious as your people. This is my last comment.
It's not a game, it's a simulator used for training real military forces and models all their assets almost 1:1 accurately. Also, it costs more like $300. VBS1 cost around $2000 for civilians.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LOL they did it all so perfect but they forgot that the M16 or M4, Im not sure which one it was does not shoot automatic burst anymore lol.....so as I understand it you cant buy this game right? and even if you buy it there is like noone online? but ArmA is based off of it?
Armed assault is a lighter version of VBS2. Armed assault goes for $44.95 for each game or licence. For VBS2, it goes for about $2500 for each licence.
Yes but for 2500$ you have much more option,item,vehicle,aircraft/helicopter and a lot of different scenario with all military doctrine in real life, such patrol,defensives/offensives, tactic ect.
Canadian Forces have a version of VBS2 for Air forces command(Air Forces) and Land forces command (Army). US have his own version, same for UK and Australia with different uniform/vehicles from different country.
The civilian version sucks but for the price is a good option lol...
unless u wanna create a one man army, or just mess around in the map with all the new stuf, its no point of bying it:P shure its extreamly " cool" to own n stuff!!.. but can u play online with other people who owns it without reading a library about how it works?!? i dont think its a " PLAY NOW" buttn there....^^
xbox360 could not handle so many calculations at once.. sorry to say, it wont be possible. by the time new console comes out, lets say ps4 or xobx3, this game will even have more calculations, and only TOP line PC's would handle this.
Besides the game is 1500 dollars, really expensive..
1:00 - 1:05 where is the smoke that needs to come from the back of the launcher?! and another thing! STOP THE ANIMATIONS! WE WANT REAL TIME PHYSICS! ffs :O

Srsly you people that think you can own every people in a game... srsly?
One day it comes a game so close to reality you wont even know how to jump!
And i'm pretty sure i could RPG you in STALKER and thats VERY hard, there you can't jump like a retard and shoot head shots.

LOL they did it all so perfect but they forgot that the M16 or M4, Im not sure which one it was does not shoot automatic burst anymore lol.....so as I understand it you cant buy this game right? and even if you buy it there is like noone online? but ArmA is based off of it?

This is not a game and u cant buy this. It is a military sim. However there is a civilian game version of it called Armed Assault (Arma).
Xirdla 2 years ago

At least a core 2 duo. I recommend a quad though.

The AI can be dodgy at times. But if you know what you're doing and a little bit of scripting and the use of triggers, it can get pretty realistic.

can you still buy the game as a Civ? even tho its like 1000 dollers
Simulatorboy101 3 years ago
Simulatorboy,
Armed assault is a lighter version of VBS2. Armed assault goes for $44.95 for each game or licence. For VBS2, it goes for about $2500 for each licence.
IVIanOnTheIVIove 3 years ago
Yes but for 2500$ you have much more option,item,vehicle,aircraft/helicopter and a lot of different scenario with all military doctrine in real life, such patrol,defensives/offensives, tactic ect.
Canadian Forces have a version of VBS2 for Air forces command(Air Forces) and Land forces command (Army). US have his own version, same for UK and Australia with different uniform/vehicles from different country.
The civilian version sucks but for the price is a good option lol...

unless u wanna create a one man army, or just mess around in the map with all the new stuf, its no point of bying it:P shure its extreamly " cool" to own n stuff!!.. but can u play online with other people who owns it without reading a library about how it works?!? i dont think its a " PLAY NOW" buttn there....^^

If you join the army you cant respawn! and if you respawn it will probably be on a hospital.
Anyways i hope the next version (VBS3) has physics! that would bring more realism to the training process especially with grenade launchers.
VBS2 is the most hardcore battlefield simulator ever! I wish it would work on regular gaming consoles like an xBoX or cheap PC

xbox360 could not handle so many calculations at once.. sorry to say, it wont be possible. by the time new console comes out, lets say ps4 or xobx3, this game will even have more calculations, and only TOP line PC's would handle this.
Besides the game is 1500 dollars, really expensive..

"Yeah but it's only worth like 80 dollars at most."
- lol, VBS is not supposed for players like you, its customers are for example ADF, CAF, USMC, UK MOD, NZDF
- its in the first place training system, not simple pc game.
