[Shawn Zipay]

Rock, Paper, Shotgun caught wind of a couple of very impressive videos from ArmA2. The videos show off massive battles between AI controlled players in both ground skirmishes and aerial dog fights.

anyone else notice anything in the first video... ummm anything at all? Like that fact that there wasn't 1000 AI in it, lol and the fact that it looked alot like some dude running threw the weeds and panning right and left every now and then..... it was a pretty shit video to be honest.

You aren't going to have games where every player is in direct view of one another, especially not with realistic shooters like ArmA/2.

Battles are typically carried out at distances, and during night missions you're lucky if you can see people within your area let alone an entire army at several km away in both land and air units.

Zips speaks the truth, this game is quite amazing with a huge battle, but a bit too realistic for me, stillfun.

WTF is the sense of playing a game where your not gonna see anyone to shoot? It kind of defeats the purpose don't ya think? Ya.....

Nobody ever said that you don't see who you are shooting or whom you're being shot by.

This is just a video demo, play the game for yourself to experience the battle.

I think you would probably have more fun playing TF2, other people LOVE ArmA and got feed up with Arcade FPS games a long time ago.
