Arma 2 Huge Battle 1700 AI!!!

Well here it is, the BIG one. I absolutely raped my pc during this one, if there is a single cpu on the planet that was running faster than mine i'd be surprised! I encountered 5 blue screens of death, 4 fatal errors, and about 15 system restarts as i tried to overclock my cpu to its limits.

Eventually i got it clocked to 4.6ghz!!! The performance increase was pretty much double it was before. I had to get ice in plastic bags and cover my cpu, plus about 8 fans, just to try and keep it cool lol. Too bad it was the hottest day in britain all year, my room was 40 degrees! I think the longest i managed to keep my pc running for was 1 hour before a crash, as soon as i had the clip recorded i clocker her back down to a safe 3.7ghz :)

Overclocking the graphics card wasn't really an issue, i had no fps gain or loss between low and high settings, so its very obvious this game is way way way more cpu intense than it is gpu.

As far as the video goes, here we have an overall of approx 1700 AI units across the map. I couldnt put them all close together as my pc would get about 2fps with so many units within visual distance. I listened to your comments so i have put much more focus into infantry and actual fighting.

The battle is dominated by artillery fire and infantry squads, along with a few tanks helis and planes, all of which didnt last long! The mission consisted of approx 700-800 american AI units attacking a huge frontline that spanned across alot of the map. There was no objective or victory tiggers involved, it was just a pure fight to the death.

Unfortunately the americans got slaughtered, but it was good fun :) The reason i survived so easy was because i activated an initialization field that meant the AI totally ignored me, so i could not die. Please remember this video is purely a demonstartion of just how far you can push arma 2's engine.

System specs on my channel.

Enjoy!

P.S:

My system was literally on the brink of death in this video. Until i get alot of major upgrades there is no hope on hell i will run any more AI in a single battle than this, its insanity and i can't believe i didn't blow my cpu up!!!

Edit:

There is no night vision goggles for a reason, i originally was making this mission at daytime but it's nowhere near as epic. At night time, although you may complain you can't see, the atmosphere is so good.

If you watch, i did use NV goggles at the end to show what the battlefield looked like in the aftermath :)

Edit:

If your wondering why the video looks a little faded, its because i increased the brightness so you could see a little better :)

This is NOT the demo. I have owned the game since it was released in germany 2 weeks before everyone else.

I don't think there were battles like this since WW2. I don't even want to think what will happen if a battle like this takes place today with contemporary firepower and weapon platforms...
