Need water pictures

[-OGN-DarkPhantom 0]

What I want to see is the Water.....

Lots of talks on the waves splashing on the shore and as the weather gets worst ... so the waves get bigger....

The xbox video from E3 that someone took tho its not very good but gives you a idea of what the water looks like

Anyone seen any water shots from armed assault....tho the picture below with the truck...if you look in the back ground has the same effect as the xbox waves

[Rommel 2]

Waves are in the background. Unlike the XBOX E3 Video I would prefer more bigger waves, more realistic. Thats all I want in AA, more realism.

tho would be interesting to see how this works on rivers.....??

Also hope if they come up with having water at a different landscape level as this was never achieved in the pass.

I think the water you see in the XBox version will be what you see in the ArmA

[bravo 6 0]

will we have waves in small rivers too? thats kinda stupid no?

some times there are small portions of water, and it would be nice to see "static" water with reflex in it.

ps- Would be good if more pics are published.

[Heatseeker 0]

We already know it will look prettier and be less static/more animated but the big question is!!! Can we surf.. ergh.. i mean swim? , will the camera go underwater? Can we have fully working submarines this time? See fish, marine flora, rocks and stuff? Other than eye candy it would be a great adition to the game if underwater was possible, people could make submarines, scuba gear and other things.

Maybe i got a bit carried away here and these are more likely to come with next generation game2 but we never know ...

Yeah need more pics, hundreds of pics and movies .

What i want to see is small "ripples" in the water when you move in it. But thatll be the next game i should think. After ArmA

[Spoock 3]

Waves in ArmA and OFP Xbox are very intensive - I would like that water's animation was less intensive. In inland aren't waves. I know, that OFP 1.5 engine is finite, but I hope, that Game 2 haven't this efect.

Inland behaviour rivers and pounds in Game2 must be real.

The Far Cry water was very carribean-like. A bit too colourful imo.

I remember shooting a shark from the string he was hung on and pushing him back into the sea (no I´m no PETA activist, I just wanted to see if the other fishes would have a great dinner )

Unfortunally not !

Anyway, while I do think that the Far Cry water certainly was and is still great (...remember hopping into the pond with the water fall waiting for Bo Derek to show up... ) it was a very colorfull scenario, comic - like, while OFP is resided in another world that is not so colorfull. So a sea like in Far Cry would not fit imo.

Just my... whatever

[Guest Ti0n3r]

Well, the sea I've seen in the Xbox game is without any doubt the best sea I've seen in any game. It fits in very well and the waves look very nice. As far as I know there arent many games that actually have real waves.

[Balschoiw 0]

Now if they managed to have a changing sea according to weather conditions like in Silent Hunter 3 I will definately pee my pants

That would be awesome. The waves in Silent Hunter 3 kick a**

Then I guess you could email the solution to BI studios and save them the work if they haven't already gotten to it?

[john_mcclane 0]

The water in Joint Operations and Delta Force Extreme is very nice as well. I would be surprised (pleasantly) if Armed Assault has anything like that. Let's keep in mind it's more of an upgrade than a whole new game.

[alacasam 0]

Harnu ,

They made an incredible game with op flashpoint and if you tell me after all they have made  its still very complicated for them to put swimable water into arma ? lol seriously i hope they do their best for this game.And if it was my job to make games i would have been happy to help them with that and to send them a e-mail with the solution but since it's not , ill keep my role of ofp fan and write in this forum to try to have the best (an most importantly the more complete game they can make for us )

Indeed, but its also too static and has no tide movement nor waves, thats something i liked in GTA-SA, there were waves and they would grow bigger when the weather got stormy, really well done even if the water isnt the best looking one this efect is very impressive .

[Cpt. FrostBite 0]

Il ike the waves as I've seen them on the Xbox vid. I'm just waiting for a beach-set addon, so I can drop my rifle and enjoy the sun. That way I can get some tan on that white OFP-face

I sure hope we can swim and that pilots can eject at sea and don't die. A complete marine-life with fish and underwater plants would be nice, but is not a priority. The first thing they have to change is the movement of boats in the water. Nothing was more irritating than driving a boat. I hated it. If it can have the behaviour of boats like in Far Cry, I would be very happy.

Another thing, how about explosions in water? will they still be big orange balls of doom or will we actully see some nice splash effects? Also i hope they improve the bullet effect when it hits the water also. Then we can make some really nice D-Day missions

i agree and hope so, nice note

[Guest The Cobra]

Well, the water in VBS1 looks like this;

*Resized*

And the graphic engine there is an improvent of the OFP engine right?

So in that case it could look something like this, with waves also  

[Placebo 29]

That's using the VBS version of DXDLL is it not?

[bravo 6 0]

yes im afraid it is,

tough The Cobra didn't answer our question/idea

we already know how DXDLL works.

[DBR_ONIX 0]

I just hope you can swim. The San Andreas swiming system is not bad (You can swim on surface, you turn to face the camera heading, click and you dive underwater and you tap spacebar to swim foward, facing same dir as camera, you get an oxygen bar that appers, and goes down when your underwater, and stays untill you get out the water and it's full)

Far Cry underwater bubbles were little cartoony, but other than that it was good.

Ah well, we'll see what happens soon hopefully

Hmm, if the water is affected by weather, and theirs storms and stuff...

But if water affects wind, you wont often see refections (You only get refections in water if the water is very still). I wonder if DXDLL would work with ArmA That is if they dont include refective water

- Ben

One other thing, dont think it'll happen in ArmA though.. Waterfalls!

Doesn't seem to unrealistic to do, When the water goes down a river at over x*, make it waterfally
