Faman 10 Posted April 29, 2013 Maybe a new project for AWAR will be to bring new life to ARMA 2 itself with an Upgrade Mod or something that will make ARMA 2 better looking and more realistic. I find the simulation part of ARMA 2 a bit too simple and the graphics look less then IF44, the simulation is better too. You should experience IF44 with NVIDIA 3D Vision, it's so nice only watching.. I don't have that much with ARMA 2, as an example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProfTournesol 956 Posted April 29, 2013 AWAR won't work anymore on IF44 AFAIK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fkymplbo 5 Posted May 10, 2013 The best solution is to bring IF44 back to Arma2 as a Mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) ArmA II does not need a life infusion..it's just IFL44 that's basically dead online. Edited May 10, 2013 by Beagle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissionCreep 12 Posted May 10, 2013 IFL44 is based on the ARMA II engine and has several useful improvements/enhancements over Arma II that would really add to Arma II if implemented ... I think that was the OP's point. Eg soldiers riding on tanks, ragdoll effects etc. The schtick that AWAR is "no longer updating the game", "devs have left", "funding has stopped" etc etc are mere statements and not relevant to a discussion of how a pool of already-existing technical enhancements could be integrated into the Arma II player experience.

Beagle 684 Posted May 10, 2013 The only "enhancement" of IFL44 over A2 is a buggy pseudo armour penatration that does not work as intended IFL has no ragdolls, even poorer A.I. a lot nonfuctional modules, no civies and riding on tanks is in vanilla A2 already... as seen in MP missions and the official harvest red campaign.

ProfTournesol 956 Posted May 10, 2013 I don't agree with the poor AI. I find the AI more challenging than in vanilla A2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sander 14 Posted May 10, 2013 The increased challenge of fighting the AI might be in part due to some changes compared to the regular game in other aspects rather than the AI per se. The different characteristics of weaponry for example go a long way to explain the different way firefights tend to go in IFL44. The near universal use of iron sights, the reduced rate of fire of bolt action rifles, the smaller range of SMG's and the much increased lethality of frag grenades would favour more prolonged engagements at range and more close in fighting in themselves.

ProfTournesol 956 Posted May 10, 2013 Yes of course, the AI is the same enginewise than A2, but i do enjoy the various "tweakings". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fkymplbo 5 Posted May 10, 2013 Dont make any conclusions and call it 'Poor AI' if you never try to make a test with Arma2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OMAC 254 Posted May 10, 2013 I wish OA had the IF armor damage/penetration modeling! It provides a whole new level of realism for armor battles, along with the hand-adjustable range sighting per ammo type. Stug III range controls: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gargamel 1 Posted May 10, 2013 you can DIY ... FYI Dwarden in your logic, if i order a car for 8000 eur and pay for it, then after some time comes a box with thousands of components and a letter with words like this: DIY Sincerely ..... Is that ok ? I mean who`s the developer ? The moders or you ? About IF case, what are you afraid of ? Throwing wood under a feet of someone who can/have mood for making a better game than you ?

Dwarden 1124 Posted May 11, 2013 the thing is that you bought Chevy and in the box you got as bonus, there is Bugatti engine ... up to you what you do with ;) if you keep the car analogy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OMAC 254 Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Yes, but most would have to attend a year of training at a Bugatti mechanic school to install the damn thing and get it to work! ;) That's why it's sometimes better to have new, improved parts pre-installed at the Mnisek or Brno factory....

Joe98 90 Posted May 11, 2013 I don't know either! As 3 separate installations I have: Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead/BAF/PMC Iron Front/Omaha Beach The 3 games are all the same game engine with the same editor. Iron Front brings 5 new maps and a whole lot of new weapons, vehicles and aircraft. I have learnt with the older weapon systems, why they fought as they did at the time. I think all 3 are terrific! The only differences between the 3 games are the setting and the weapons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
