ArmA 2 site hacked

The new game seems very promising, however I'm a bit disapointed by the vehicles and weapons shown, much too sci-fi-like :(.

Indeed, I'm a huge fan of today's arsenal, such as M1, T80, Leclerc, Leopard 2, Mi-24, M4, G36, Famas, etc. Without these, it won't be the same. I think I'm still in the good old OFP spirit in this respect :p

Furthermore, the last two weeks made me think of some kind of 70's cold war scenario, which would have been so cool... :(

IT IS NOT SKY FY LIKE the fn2000 does exsist and the P90 too, also the tank does exsist, damn common get real, do you see drop ship djees do you see taisers? the setting might a little more to what we are not used to but damn don't call it sky fy, you know they are evolving to nano machines in real life? this means that they will have a computer in the future build in the helmet, its nothing that would not be sky fy it will exsist only not in active service immidiatly.

That does not mean it is sky fy, really :rolleyes: but bis might implement that future in to ArmA3, oh noes tha game is trashed now pppffttt really its about the game play! And im sure they will keep the core alive ...

to be honnest we are hanging way to long with the same equipment over and over its about time they implement more other guns and material in the game, all the other stuff we are used to will be added anyway by the community. Damn for bis it would only be a nother same content with the same stuff but a little more futers if they would do it the old way again. Give them some slack, common i mean how bored would they be if they do the same over and over, they are doing it for the last damn 10 years let them! they are entiteled to do so if you ask me ;)

What rifle got that running soldier fn2000, or its a hybrid fn2000 and p90 two in one i dont know.

Looks to me like the FN 2000 Tactical

EDIT: And am I the only one that thinks they are going back in time, not futuristic

EG. RAH-66 1996-2004

FN 2000 is not a futuristic weapon (2001)

ect

If you read the website it says:

Customizable Soldier Load

Choose your uniform, assemble your weapon kit, change your loadout, get encumbered.

It is highly likely that you will be able to customise what camo you wear, helmet, and your weapon. And I am sure there will be some M4s and M16s if you really want to use them!

[schroeder 0]

Sure they are entiteled to do so.

Sure this modern material isn't really sci-fi (just a manner of speaking).

I'm just a bit old-fashioned I guess :o

Believe me i'm old fashion also but a little new refreashing stuff can't hurt to my mind, it will open up a wider content and possibilities look at the scuba divers ( common i mean ) hell yeah we can finaly do a water aprouch with navy seals or speznas.

Ok they will maybe not be vanilla game content, then they will need to make those in the community. what ever it gives us something to do ;-) now they open a lot of possibilities as long they don't go the extra mile too just run and gun content.

If they ceep the core aspects of the game play then we will be fine, and don't forget we only saw a few screens it might be so like the guy's said just now that M4 AK's will be in the game and that the guns we saw is newly addition to what we where already used too. Some people like FN Herstal more then M4 Some like the FN 2000 above the scar some like the P90.

I mean you will be able to choose i guess but thats only asumption because what do we actialy really know of the game? yeah right just the basics.

kind regards

Well, what are the other options? Some people have suggested it might be short for the name of an expansion ("Arma2: Free XYZ" or something), but to be honest I can't think of a name containing "free" that wouldn't sound corny.

It's ArmAFree, it was announced yesterday. Unfortunately the news was relayed by a small child :D

One, two, free.

Arma 3, well, I love being right, not that I was the only one obviously.

The future approach doesn't bother me at all really, I can't wait. I don't think they will take it over the top on the sci-fi side of things so I have no worries at all.

Also, it would be nice if BI gave us a debrief of the ARG. How accurate we were, whether we missed anything, whether we solved everything quicker than they expected. That would be cool.

Of course, this new game seems better in every respects, no doubt about this. I can't wait buying it.

Regarding weapons and equipement, BIS might well keep some older weapons for old-timers like me as you say :p, cross your fingers and thanks for reminding me this :).

[Tonci87 163]

Its a shame that it won´t have directX 11 (Or maybe it will?) It will be 2012 then BIS, everyone will use DX11. And I think the Game might run better with DX11

I would be very surprised if they didn't include some older (i.e. current) weapons in the game.

DX10 is the minimal requirement, but it might support DX11. (Like Civ V, for example.)

No official info yet.

Maybe it is tied to the guerrilla clue (as in, Freedom Fighters ?). Like Alwarren, I'm hoping for some new content for Arma 2... Arma 3 is still so far into the future (and I don't mean the setting, but 2012 :D)

And the free content they released so far was called "lite" because that's exactly what it was: watered down content provided for compatibility reasons only. It wasn't truly free content, in that sense. ;)

True, but a reduced version of Arma for free would also be "watered down".

I also don't really see what BIS would gain from it, from a commercial standpoint... sales ? I think that's what demos do. A gift to the community because of the 10th anniversary ? We all own Arma already (most of us, I'd say, own OFP, Arma and Arma 2 with all expansions and DLC already).

*nudges BIS* come on, spill the beans... what's arma2free.exe

[mant3z 1]

I know what arma2free.exe is, that's simple... it's just arma2 + dx10 and physyx... we will get it to make some tests before arma3 will be released.

What did Monolith/Activision gain from releasing F.E.A.R. Combat for free? I'm not a marketing expert, so I couldn't tell you for sure.

But I believe it may be positive for them simply by raising awareness of the Arma series. Arma2 is two years old (OA almost 1 year), so sales probably won't be as high as they used to be. I don't think they will really be concerned about losing sales by releasing a portion of the game for free at this point. But it will probably get a bunch of people interested, as it lowers the barrier for anyone to try it out. It will also gain some publicity.

This could potentially increase the size of the core fanbase (especially with PR:Arma2 coming out soon), leading to increased sales of Arma3 a year down the road.

That's my theory.

That was a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig mistake on Monoliths behalf that was.

[HamishUK 0]

Although i hope that all the mods that were created for arma 2 can be used straight into arma 3

Bohemia Interactive i love you. Alot.

I am going to hazard a guess with all the substantial changes that would be a no without tweaking?

[purepassion 22]

If you prefer old school weapons and equipment, wait until you see the OPFOR guerilla faction. They wont be shooting with HK OICW's etc

so im pretty sure you will also be satisfied

Well this is set in the near future, in a full on conventional conflict, which is, I beleive what the Comanche was developed for. I'm sure in real life, if the need arose, the project could be revived quickly. In fact, what with stories of the "Stealth Blackhawk" perhaps it was never cancelled at all? ;)

No chance the Comanche would be revived quickly as it just didn't do the job it was supposed to.

Stealth Blackhawk is a misnomer. Good luck on hiding radar reflections from the big whirly disc. More likely it was noise reductions.

"Freedom Fighters"? Sounds a bit like Resistance, don't you think ;)

In any case, I am certain there is something to come still :)

[jdmt 12]

For sure! But lets bitch and whine until we get new information. ;)

That's how you get things done :D

with your shitty little 20rnd mag, di-optic sight G3.

The H&K G3 is a very good, solid 7.62 NATO weapon. Really nice and solid to fire.

Brian :)

[tom3kb 15]

i miss H&K G3. Im like that rifle in ofp :)

Sure it did, but they pushed it too far, at the time the commanche and the apache were competing, commanche would have been an exceptional scout aircraft but when they tried to make it attack there was just no way it could keep the stealth element AND carry the arsenal the apache could.
