that's great now move along sheep, go play your Quake Wars.

It's not about being sheep. When the success or failure of a game rests almost solely in the hands of the community that plays the game, popularity is a big factor. Which game is more likely to be fun for an MMORPGer: WOW or Ryzom's Ring or whatever it's called? Have you heard about the Ryzom game? If you haven't, how many people have? Walking around an empty server practicing land nav skills is no fun. If this game doesn't take, and have a pretty big fanbase, I won't be getting it.

There is now way that ArmA will be even remotely successful as BF2 for the sole reason that the difficulty will put a lot of people off.

ArmA will have a VERY dedicated community, though, and finding a game should never, ever be a task.

Also, here is a list of the weapons scheduled to be included at launch.

well chances are they didnt nerf them like dice did.

maybe someone can go ask someone that has the game if the sniper rifles are 1 hit kills. :)

TrackIR is a head tracking device that tracks your head movements. Basically.. when you move your head in real life, you will move your head ingame.

Re: are you gonna give bf2 a rest now that Armed assault is kinda already here!!!

Does this game have multiplayer on-line like BF2, or is it only a single player game ????

Re: are you gonna give bf2 a rest now that Armed assault is kinda already here!!!

Ah Bf2 for me I'm broke so I wont be getting that any time soon

This game is pretty buggy. Here are a list of bugs/unpolished features I and others came across:

1. You can still land helicopter on upside down just like in OFP.
2. Flight model is twitchy and sensitive (even with joystick)
3. Radio commands are terrible and sound disjointed
4. Blood effects inconsistent (I shot a guy in the head and his whole body becomes bloodied)
5. You can land copters on trees without damage
6. Tracers look like unconvincing lines
7. AI is terrible in closed spaces, sometimes in open (AI drives into buildings, shooting an enemy's friend 10ft from him when he's looking away elicits no response)
8. You can rotate a tank's gun into a building wall causing it to rotate its 80 ton body.
9. In certain graphical settings you'll get a .2-1s control/input lag
10. Some ppl experiencing sound lag
11. Blowing up bridges with vehicles over them cause the vehicles to hover in mid-air
12. Each time you bring up the map in ArmA you get a 'load screen' when you switch back. It's fairly short load of perhaps 5 seconds. But this is a huge issue in CTI where you send AI all around the map all the time.
13. Missile vs. fence = fence wins (bug from old OFP)
14. Sound FX are terrible, sound flat and unconvincing. Some cases recycled from OFP
15. Grass is nothing more than eye candy. You're at a disadvantage if you're a sniper prone in the grass: Someone far off can see you since grass isn't rendered at far ranges but your view is obstructed by grass. (BTW you can't turn off grass so gg sniping)
16. Harrier VTOL isn't implemented (LOL!!!!) WTF do you want a harrier for then??


Probably a bunch of others. Some of them are pretty severe.

Performance is rather weak considering my hardware. Playable but it should be better. Looks only slightly better than BF2 is most cases but much lower frames.

This game is buggy beta trash. BIS has a poor track record in fixing bugs. To put in perspective, Operation Flashpoint (the game this game is essentially upgraded from), it took them about 2 years to have it mature into a polished state. Many people now complain with this game they focused a lot of effort on the engine, changed a lot of functionality from OFP and made it worse. They show no signs of actually listening to people submitting bugs on their forums. It's pretty bad, my recommendation is just not bothering until they release a demo (which probably won't be for a few months). No wonder they have trouble finding a US publishers, the game is essentially unfinished!!

People talk about BF2142 being buggy unfinished crap. This game makes BF2142 look like it has HL2 production value, no joke.

P.S. Sniper rifles are pretty much one hit kills. You can kill ppl w/ body armor in 2 shots essentially. Don't get me off on the gun accuracy, seems to be extremely buggy. Just go on the BIS forums and you'll see.

Re: are you gonna give bf2 a rest now that Armed assault is kinda already here!!!

it looks ok i'll keep an eye on it... looks promising, bu i'm going to still play with bf2 even if I buy this game

[Jake]

Re: are you gonna give bf2 a rest now that Armed assault is kinda already here!!!

I still play Operation Flashpoint daily. It's all about the gameplay. It's kinda sad that Operation Flashpoint single player has more organization, teamwork, and challenge than BF2's Multiplayer.

I for sure will be getting ArmA.
