NEW Interview with Bohemia Interactive on ArmA...

[D.murphy man 0]

Great interveiw!

Quote[/b] ]XeLSiS - What new features can Modders & Players look forward do?

Placebo - For now features of the game are being kept quiet, but we're getting closer to what we can share about it, for sure the game is definitely turning out to be more than the anticipated Opf v1.5 (with the next big game being known as “game2â€), this game is really developing into a "game2" of its own standing, maybe we should start calling the other one "game3"

Now thats exciting! Sounds like we wont be getting just an upgrade after all, like some people around here have been complaining about.

I must say that chinstrap made the halmet look a way better, but IMO, HYK ones still looks bit more natural.

That's for the Xbox version (Look at the instructions, "press A/B/X/Y to do blahblah"

It seems they are using Game2 as a testbed for Game3 (Using Placebo's new naming suggestion Game2 being ArmA, Game3 being the game comming out in 2006), which means more features in ArmA

Just a small oftopic thing (I.e reply to it at the end of a post, otherwise ignore it ) : You have ArmA, playing it, then BI replease Game3.. Will you drop ArmA and start playing it? Say if ArmA mods dont work with game3 (Without converting them anyway), so theres not instantly thousands of mods etc..

Just a random thought

Finaly, it's good to see BI aren't hyping the game to hell. But hopefully when it's released they will put TV adverts, posters etc around, so people acctualy know the game is released..

I'll buy both games no matter what the delay between them turns out to be.

If game2 won't work with converted old pbos then i'll constantly switch between both games (SP and MP) until 1 of them gets boring. By that time they'll be addons for game2 i hope.

3 months ago i sended e-mail to admin of GRY.WP.PL about incorrect pictures in Armed Assault gallery...but they are there still.

decent interview under circumstances. obviously they need to keep something for release ..

one thing i have either missed or has not been asked.

does anyone know how many players ArmA will support in mp ?

[chipper 0]

the same amount as OFP now which is how ever much the server can handle

[D.murphy man 0]

the same amount as OFP now which is how ever much the server can handle

Which with better network coding (helped from the coding for X-box live for OFP:E no doubt) should allow more players on your average server with out as much lag as it is now, hopfully.

[Zemskii 0]

Probably ArmA servers will be cheaper as OFP server, because of better netcode = less kb/s upload to the server = less bandwidth needed = cheaper rent fee for clans w00t

[deanosbeano 0]

is this official or are ya just presuming ?

Quote[/b] ]Damn good interview, you asked virtually all the relevant questions. If placebo is reading this however, has there been any consideration to making bullets travel realistically through cars, people, materials and such? One of the things sadly OFP did not capture was barrier penetration - the fact that a 30mm shell would hit something, a sign or someone's hand, and not go through, detracted from the experience a lot. Are there any plans for realistically simulating this properly, as it is a major factor in real life firefights? (50.bmg rounds routinely go through stone walls etc).

yes, this is a very important factor in a simulation game if you ask me. it would actually give the 50cal a meaning, and people would start choosing the 50cal humvee rather than the shitty (but indeed better with ofp's physics) m240s.

[Big Ofp Fan 0]

Very good and interesting interview.

ArmA will be a very good next part of the, can I say Flashpoint series?

I hope the min sys req. will not to be so high. I hope it runs fine.

Same hopefully ARMA will be good compatible with the usermade/Official addons,Stuff,Islands and missions. I'm work on a campaign and I hope it let's convert to ARMA Map editor.

My guess is almost around the lines of bf2 as they seem to share some things (only graphicswise,bf2 cant compare gameplay-wise )

You insult this game by even trying to compare BF2 to OFP/ArmA

[alx 20]

Can't wait

[privatenoob 0]

Placebo, do you have a estimate on the price tag?

in euros please...

would be nice to know how much money i need to save

saving up money for a game!?

Maybe we all should collect some money for you,

hell its for a good cause.

_

Still no word on how the box will be and if its only released

as a PC-rom and not a dvd-rom? How many discs and if there

comes a printed manual in it? Im dying to see a cover, the day

it comes I will make into a wallpaper. ArmedAssault!

well to his defense he is saying "not gameplay-wise".

But I dont see the similarity at all!

Hay that really looks like you Placebo

It doesnt look anything like him

[AtR 0]

on Placebos screen (xbox ofp ) i saw that to log in under a nickname u need to have password , will the same be available in ArmA in order to stop those reputation killers?

[Postduifje 0]

Reputation killers? That's ridiculous, OFP is a very social game, you can distinguish anyone easily by playing with them for more than five minutes. Second, it is just plain moronic to copy ones nick. What do you gain from that? And third, why would a log-in system stop anyone from using the same nick on his computer as you do?
