Why not get ArmA 2 with the ACE2 mods?More realism for half the price......

[sirjefferson9001]

@TheBackfiringVirus ArmA 2 is not more realistic, except graphics, and ACE2 does not make it way more realistic, it just removes the unrealistic interface and adds a few features (and e.g. the ridiculously intense exhaustion-from-running-featur­­­­e is included in VBS2 right away)

also VBS2 is moddable as well, and lite version is free

it also has a few more features, you can e.g. display grenade trajectory, have a health bar, can move aim/crosshair independent from sight, and select seats

[TheBackfiringVirus]

@sirjefferson9001 It's been 9 months since that post, I've known that information for a long time after I got curious about it, but thanks anyway for your input, no matter how helpful it actually was.

[bklacc1]

gots nothin on the EST2000.....lol jkjkjk

[stratagie1]

I jizzed!

[TechnoZoneForumfree]

I have Armed Assault 1 by Bohemia Interactive... Now my question is: What's is different between ArmA and VBS2 or VBS1?

[brandonS911]

@TechnoZoneForumfree Its an simulator for the Army, Marines etc.. And is not much of a video game. Its epxensive, you have to have a lincense to have the game yourself.

[VidGamer97]

@brandonS911 You are absolutely correct, you do need a license/authentication to get it. Lucky my dad is in the army and i can get the "light" version.

[TechnoZoneForumfree]

@brandonS911 They've done it similar to Armed Assault

[sirjefferson9001]

@brandonS911 Its actually not less a game than Arma2 - actually, it's even a little more game-like (it has e.g. a health bar). Compared to Arma2, it has:

- worse graphics

- better weapon physics

- far better included maps (actually large cities (>2x2km), and with all enterable buildings!!)

- better interface (more information, and looks better)

- in full version: a leet 3d editor, military-style debriefing and performance analysis (for training)

and just like arma2 can edit/mod and add anything

[DWSimmy]

@sirjefferson9001 Wait, it comes with maps pre loaded? So I won't have to download them from a 3rd party? Sorry about responding to such an old comment

[sirjefferson9001]

@DWSimmy the free US Army and British Army (JCOVE) Lite editions feature e.g. the As Samawah map, which features multiple large cities, As Samawah itself (at least partially built like the real As Samawah in iraq)) is about 3x3 km and every building enterable on all levels it has (you can open every door, fight across roofs etc.), and as far as i currently remember at least two more maps (one grassland town map, and one desert mountain map (both smaller))

[Vertigo645]

So does the army use this to train now?

[crackbxtswozniecki2]

@abyssofseo fuck your mother 10 times you spammer

[SibirianHusky]

best = OFP / VBS1 ARMA / VBS2

WORST : ARMA 2 comercial stuff

never have seen so much ppl play and make only nonsens..

have no idea what to do...

ppl wich start paly with arma 2 sux ^^

[bleushift]

why is arma 1 better then 2?

and ofp dont get ur point...

[spartanthebrute]

@SibirianHusky Your saying ArmA 2 players suck. Well I like it, thats an opinion.

[Trazen4]

Just noticed....

The helicopter blade sound is from Operation Flashpoint.

[Edseldopydope]

what is the difference between VBS2 and Arma? they look alike

[SpartanW98]

vbs2 is like 500000000000000$ and arma isnt

[Edseldopydope]

LOL yeah i had noticed... it sucks, seriously

[SibirianHusky]

@Edseldopydope

Arma is like a lite version of VBS2

less features

[Redskins1726]

I would do anything to get this.

[andym3287]

join the US marines maybe? :p

[jayhelldee]

I want to get hold of this map for arma2

[SibirianHusky]

@jayhelldee

comercial arma 2 sucks ^^

only better graphic... but thats all whats better...

if u preffer simulator .. u dont care about graphic...

do you think nasa and other use

xDDD

[kuerbisdome]

looks prety much like arma 1 u see where it comes from^^

[TheJokerArmy]

Theres 2 versions (personal which is like normal just without plugs and software for gun plugis n shiz) PE = Cheaper by a lot.

[Mailboxbillthefirst]

wish i had this

[Icix1]

VBS2 has a much more realistic feel than arma does.

[Tipsy777Star]

aby idea wher i can get it ? order it ?

ndont find the lin kagain =/

[jayhelldee]

You think you could get this map to work in arma2??

[coldcash12345]

same thing as arma

[drytaffin]

no, it's more expensive and it's more realistic ;)

It has been developped for the Army

[Jimderkaisser]

Same gameplay,same graphics...but more maps,more sound,more vehicul,more "realistic" and much expensive...( 2500$ )comparate 44$ for civilian use

[properecek]

That's not true, in VBS there are much more possibilities in "gameplay" which are for us .. civs absolutely unimportant, but for learning military drills necessary.

[Jimderkaisser]

This is what i said...why you said isn't true?

[Sneak693]

have you played VBS? VBS is much more of a sim then Arma and its only $560 Us not $2500

[Jimderkaisser]

My officer when we were deployed in Ft Bliss told me that was a $2500 program.

[Sneak693]

i just got quoted at $560

[Duhya]

maybe thats because they lower and raise the price for military or someone just looking to have fun.

[mrjfin]

There is brand new VBS2 VTK soon available it will revolutinate this game 1.5k isnt that bad bargain anymore

[linktim]

CF uses VBS1, yeah VBS1 sucks, but, it works I guess, gets the point across, and doesn't require updating of computers, and even older COTS Comps will run it no probs (VBS1 that is)

[Codename46]

VBS1 core has barely anything as far as weapon and vehicle selection goes

[Jimderkaisser]

Who care about VBS1 and VBS2...they have only more better graphic the most important is how use tactic in virtual.

[raven3331]

sooo you control an individual unit or what?

[gamerman001]

ya

your a unit

[lanz0r4tehwin]

no u

[jayhelldee]

VBS1 is on sale due to vbs2. Go check the website out. Theres also Arma2 and OFP2 due to be released

[0NN1]

whats so special about vbs???! combat simulator my ass. ofp more realistic than this shit..

[deviletk]

[IceSwe1245]

Yea we see how iraq is now! Thx VBS

[deviletk]

lol true, but fact remains ;)

[0NN1]

well ok, but i still bet if sum marines play this and after that they r sent to irak , i bet they wud shit their pants :P

[jimmyrhondy]

thats why the aussie army, the yank army, marines, nz defence force, yank national guard, and the canadin army use this as a traing tool ?. you are really smart arnt you

[ArmAVidz]

Canadian Army uses VBS1 ;)

[CrikeySpiders]

FOR SALE

VBS1 + Expansion Discs

BRAND NEW

Best offers please.

[Jihadist]

political correctness...? The reason BIS is the way they are is simple, there profiteering sell out's. They will release it the public in the future like the other one probably, as usual insanely overpriced...

Might be worth pirating VBS2 though, good honest piracy is the way to go, viva freedom! :D

[deviletk]

just get ArmA with the proper realism mods, for sound and ballistics etc.

[DOSDestroyer]

@deviletk

And objects.

[Lpdude90]

The reason why BIS will not release VBS2 to the public or use Iraq or Afghanistan as the setting is because they are retarded enough to care about political correctness, because they are European.

[sf0d]

No... its because hadjis already use Armed Assault to practice IEDs, they don't want it to get even closer and make it Iraq.

[horror11]

vbs 2 is already released for public.

i dont think that any freedom fighter needs a pc sim to plant ieds.

[VojtzechGamer]

This map is great
