Will Amred Assault be better than BF2

[edubya42]

Theres a lot of talk about people saying they will leave BF2 for amred assault. Me, Im not going to leave BF2 because I like Project Reality mod, But I will definately get ArmA as well. Do you think a lot of people will leave BF2 for that ArmA, destroy the BF2 population?

Re: Will Amred Assault be better than BF2

Edub, a lot of people will probably purchase Armed Assualt because of the simulation type environment it will bring. BF2 is more of a cartoon/arcade first person shooter, so people who do not enjoy a more realistic representation of combat will continue to play it. I have been waiting for a stable game that offers a true representation of todays modern battlefield, and I hope that is what Armed Assualt will provide. I have been in combat myself and cannot keep from either laughing at or becoming completely annoyed with some of the situations and weaponry BF2 provides. The only reason I would say that Armed Assualt could be better than BF2 is if Armed Assualt actually plays the way it is advertised.

I'd like to give that response a "Holla"

If ArmA is anything like OFP, then it'll blow BF2 out of the water (for players that are looking for more realism). I personally love PRMM, but I think that no matter how much they put into it, its still not going to hold a candle to ArmA

Re: Will Amred Assault be better than BF2

I know I intend to purchase it and play it. Like Beachwood stated it brings a much greater attributeof realism compared to the lackluster arcady type feel of BF2. I look forward to the release of ArmA because I want to play a modern based combat game that:

1) works correctly out of the box
2) offers realism compared to what is currently out
3) huge open terrain for larger, more tactical battles
4) the ability to use a variety of weaponry and to an actual effective advantage
5) because Beachwood and Jethro won't stop bugging me about ArmA

Re: Will Amred Assault be better than BF2

I think it will aside from the people here who want a arcade like game or people too young for the patients for one but aside from that it will blow the genra wide open

Re: Will Amred Assault be better than BF2

When it comes ot sound, gameplay, effects, realism, freedom, ADDONS! etc then ArmA will kick BF2`s ***, but BF2 gfx is somewhat better than ArmAs,
so ArmA will be better than BF2

Re: Will Amred Assault be better than BF2

for anyone put off by the graphics remember Arma will have a map size of 400km squared
and it still looks beautiful
fair trade in my eyes :)

If you base games on how they look im glad your not getting ArmA, in the graphics department BF2 beats ArmA hands down however on every single other aspect (game play, support, coding,...) ArmA beats BF2 hands down.

Ill be getting it. Really the graphics arnt that bad and the game play.. 100+ players on a 400km square map with battles that can last days just sounds so much fun.

Game play over graphics any day of the week

Re: Will Amred Assault be better than BF2

As much as I love BF2 (the only game I play right now), I say Armed Assult will be a contender. BECAUSE of....

100+ players.

I like BF2's FPS semi arcade style shooter genre.
In fact, I wish it would be even more "arcade-dier" like Qwake and fear, staying in the realm of modern combat.
Because currently BF holds the maximum of 64 players multiplayer, It keeps me playing. I get bored easily with CS:S and ghost with the 8x8 or 12x12 battles. I WAS SUPER DISSAPPOINTED TO HEAR THAT QUAKE WARS will support only 32 players. (althought it was said A LONG TIME AGO, that QW:ET will support 64+, note I do not know the full story behind QW:ET in recent days..it was recent that QW:ET will be 32 player maps.)

In any case, the GAME with stable netcode that will support 64+ players, I will put my time into.

ALL I want is a BATTLEFIELD!..not a skirmish.

the official maps will be made towards 32 players (and trust me it will be enough, battles wont be as spread out as BF2 they will be more like PRMM i.e you always know where the battle is and its more concentrated) however they have said it many time that you as a server admin are not limited to 32 players its in no way hard coded you can have as many players as your server can handle.
