Take On Helicopters (DEMO) Didn't Let Me Down.

TOH didn't let me down because it never really took off! My expectations of TOH was one of buggy scripting/programming running on an outdated game engine, oh boy was I right!

First thing I noticed was how out of focus the whole game looked, maybe that's because its the demo and is done like that to make the game run better then the actual retail version. You know like Bohemia Interactive did with arma 2 free, I believe a lot of people were well and truly P$£â€% off with that somewhat underhanded marketing tactic, anyway I don't know and I'll never know!

Second problem I came across was my first mission. Trying to board the Helicopter to transport the S.W.A.T team there was no way I could board the helicopter, I tried walking around the left side, then the right side, I tried standing in front of the bird, behind it and just about everywhere possible but no menu or icon would pop up, not even after I discovered that holding ALT down would reveal the greyed icons around the helicopter. There was just no way to enter so the mission never got going! The way I eventually got around this was to restart the mission, this time the icons were there and simply looking through the window towards the seat would reveal the green icon to board!

There were many other bugs such as auto starting the engine, the menu would just disappear for no apparent reason, or trying to manually start the bird would fail, by which I mean after a few steps you couldn't go any further! There were problems with sound, like the rotor blades were still making a noise as if they were slowly rotating after they came to an halt! The controls seemed to be very laggy and unresponsive, then suddenly over responsive!

The list goes on and this is only after an hour or so of gameplay. Needless to say the Demo is now deep in the bowels of the Cyber World!

BIS, I have a love hate relationship with you guys, I so want you to succeed, I really do, but once again you release your products in such a poor state its embarrassing you, it really is! Once again you fail in getting my custom, I brought OFP, I brought Arma, I didn't buy Arma 2 and I wont be buying TOH, and I probably wont be buying Arma 3 because I know what’s coming... Same old same old!

Well that's about it really, that's how the demo I downloaded left me feeling and i really don't care if there's a patch or an up and coming patch, I've heard it all before, many times! If a demo i downloaded on the 31/1/2012 needs to be patched then more fool you for releasing an un-patched demo!

You can't polish a turd lads, get rid of that God damn engine and get some Quality Assurance, because if you don't I can't see you been around for another 10 years... Although I want you to be!

The blurriness you percieved was due to bad video settings, not an inherent part of the demo. I would normally suggest ways to remedy this, but since you have no intention of actually playing the game, that would be about as pointless as this thread...

oh yes, MadDogX, The most delusional of the fan boys!

Funny that, Skyrim looks absolutely lovely out of the box running at 1920x1080 on high settings!

Always someone else's fault isn't it! Like I said, I've heard it all before, there's not an excuse you can come up with that I haven't heard many, many times before! The thread is pointless to you because you cant handle the truth, but lets hope its useful for Google

Goodnight Sir

Yeah... that's Captain Delusional to you! :icon_rolleyes:

Not sure what Skyrim has to do with Arma, but set 3D resolution to the same as the interface resolution, disable proprocessing and presto! Blurriness gone! Too bad the time required to perform this small action apparently exceeds your attention span. ;)

Troll harder.
