ArmA 2 site hacked

@MadDogX or anyone that updates Arma Enigma wiki

Make sure you write down the announcement on the Arma Enigma wiki, I will go to sleep and wake up with hundreds more pages and it will take ages to find what they say

It's the Groundhod day, tomorrow you'll wake up on the 18th again !

I'd prefer 20 :p

Well its no secret that CQB is frustrating in Arma, and theres no evidence as yet that RV has done anything to address this.

I think its more got to do with RV not being well optimised since not everyone can afford to build a new rig (i know i can't). If TOH is a upgraded engine, all we know about its abilities is that it has a higher draw distance, more detail and a better physics engine. However for some of us that implies even harsher system requirements.

We've all been raving about Outerra because its system requirements are lenient, it has seamless orbit to atmosphere capability and the best thing of all? Looks FANTASTIC even at alpha stage, and since we're all arma addicts, we can see the implications of these features.

I also hate the way that aircraft and helos simply look too big for the landscape, so a better sense of scale that still provides core Arma infantry gameplay would be a plus for us pilots. We just don't know what the TOH engine will do.

Which is why an engine confirmation on the announcement would be a relief to us all.

Sure, its orbit to atmospheric capability and low system requirements are all valid points. But theres the whole thing of Outtera has NOTHING else implemented feature wise that would be required of the ArmA series.

Okay... they do have driving implemented. As for your CQB and such? Only plus side is they have a clean slate to work with to implement whatever. Downside is that same fact, they have nothing yet.

im sure that armaholic and bis homepage will tell you about the anouncement too :)

i definitely put all my money on an announcement of arma 3, thats for sure.

but iam also sure that it will just be an announcement, screens and a trailer will be shown at E3 and the final game will propably be very far away...

i still think that this nvidia driver profile is the best avidence.

How would you know that? Because its developers said so?

PLUS, i am certain A2 without buildings and only 4 faced trees would run even on my laptop...

[KEVINMGXP 20]

How about "both" a new DLC/expansion pack for ArmA2 and an new ArmA3 in the pipeline a few years later?:D

Something is whispering in my ears that it is unlikely, They have carier command and Take on hellicopters. It is said already before that they had unnanounced content for ArmA2. So with all the info the community found with the hacks and some post i have being backtracking i am more a believer that it will be a DLC/ Upgrade or a Expantion of the current game with some extras on the engine we already have.

I also think it would be to soon and to fast to think of ArmA3 already, but who am i hey :rolleyes:

kind regards

BzzzzzZZZZzzZ! How can you say that?!

There have to at least be screens. Have to... screens... must see...

It also has a decent fixed wing flight model, and as much as i love Arma and flying, its crap. As i said, all we can see with Outerra is potential. Just because we haven't seen it from Outerra devs doesn't mean BIS could have had a stab at it.

As has been stated, its still in Alpha. My understanding of their mission statement is to provide the base world in which the developer can modify whatever the hell they like, including modifications to the engine code.

How would you know that? Because its developers said so?

PLUS, i am certain A2 without buildings and only 4 faced trees would run even on my laptop...

Got a better idea then? Besides last time i checked this wasn't being made by CM/EA/Acti, so i'm inclined to trust them.

Perhaps just an announcement, how boring it may sound at the moment...*spoiled*

Question though:

Why would Nvidia create a driver profile for a game that is to be released 1-2 yeards from now? (I don't know how that stuff works so I'm curious)

Maybe those setting were meant to be inhouse testing for BI but somehow left there when nV release a public version of that driver?

Ok guy's, i can understand that you have dreams but how is it again that we all think that it would be ArmA3? I had my moment of dreaming also but it would be nice to wake up for a moment.

1: They have Carier command on their hands

2: they have Take on Hellicopters on their hands

3: ArmA2 is still not ready, some stuff still needs to be attended to and you know what those DeV guy's have their hands full on that.

To be honnest for all the dreamers here, as much i love to see a improved engine and an announcement of ArmA3 it will not happen for now, and alreay announcing something that you don't have the time for would be completely rediculous is it?

Focus on ArmA2 mates, you would be less disepointed, if i am wrong i am wrong but something is saying to me that it will be a DLC or Expantion for ArmA2 for sure.

kind regards

ok sorry for wrong wording. iam not "sure" but "i think so" ;)

edit:

@KBourne: i think arma 2 IS finished. reinforcements is my evidence for that theory.

The arma3.com domain was recently transferred to BI studios as i detailed a couple of pages back? That everything has something to do with arma and war-making ideas? Better physics engine showing a wall crumbling?

It all POINTS to A3, we just don't know if it is.

[PuFu 4600]

Got a better idea then? Besides last time i checked this wasn't being made by CM/EA/Acti, so i'm inclined to trust them.

Better idea about what?

You are free to believe the developers (hell, i also do), but you are about comparing an unfinished engine, where there is NO additional content than the terrain mesh (again, no buildings, not vegetation, no grass layer - if you call the 4 face trees vegetation then..well) with an existing game engine, with tons of content, a pretty decent AI system etc? You serious?

I never said Outerra had it right now. I stated it was at alpha. I also stated it has potential. I also stated it is possible that BI could have done something.

My computer is also making weird noises....which is worrying....

edit: Power supply sounds like its shorting out...

That site is existing for ages already and i can tell i encountered that site already like 1 and a have year back. Like said if i am wrong then i am wrong but i don't think the transfer of a domain name indicates directy that they would be announcing ArmA3 now, it only Indicates that they want to keep the site name under their nuckles for future plans.

3 hours, not 2.

It is, like the rest of us, fed up of people talking bollocks about Outerra.

Ah yes... sorry 3h2min now
