Do what we do, ignore nx_illusion's post and move on with the topic  

@nx_illusion: I suggest you stop pushing it.

so i wonder,

what has all that to do with the release of AA?

...looking... last update for SWAT4 was... yeah remember now...when they added all the advertising being streamed right into the game. as many many games will do in the future...

really a shame "nobody" plays OFP / VBS anymore... BIS could have added all the advertisement too then....**joking** LOL

I do not believe that "ArA" will come out this year. I saw first online stores with an announcement of 1.Q. 2006. It seems that it is not so easy to find a publisher for this job.

So for myself, I bought last weekend a xbox :-) so I can be sure that i will play ofp with new features in less then 2 weeks  

A bit late reply like usual with me lol, I donno if anyone noticed my "interview with Placebo" in August but I confirmed that there were enough large and small publishing companies to do a world release that were interested in contracting with BIS so I believe the delay of ArmA is due to the fact that the Engine is not where they want it to be at so they are delaying release info etc.. I mean com'n you actually expect them to release the ArmA with screenshots of "converted" abrams and tanks, the only things new i've seen in the arma shots are vegetation, landscape detail, and soldiers... They're probably still working on the Vehicles, etc right now...

so I wouldnt be surprised if they delayed the release... again

[Raptor 10]

? They want to release the game in 2-3 month and haven't complete any vehicles or soldiermodels?

I too noticed this and was thinking that if Arma was just a slightly updated version of OFP then i'd be a bit pissed off but i'm hopeing there, as you say, working on the vehicle models. Still, me being a "super" fan will still buy it  

How about if BIS are delaying Arma it's because they want the "real" OFP maniacs to buy the Elite version first so they spend twice as much money....

[Radnik 18]

How about if BIS are delaying Arma it's because

... there`s preparation for big, Elite release , party

[brataccas 0]

I actually wish BIS would rush the armed assault release and quickly release it, I know this sounds dumb but thats where expansions come in, to finish off what they never managed to do in the desired timeframe etc

[mattxr 9]

i dont have an x-box so all that news and trailers doesnt excite me one bit

Thats why i need AA news i cant wait untill the AA website is up and running..

@Nx-I -- its not been four years for an update.. They made Res, also they have been making 3 games at once.. it will be a record..

[snoops_213 75]

@nx_illusion No one is saying you cant have an opinion. Just stop with the bullshit ranting. Its not warrentted or needed. It does noone good and if you are that pissed off go to an abuse channel(irc) and do it there not here. No offence intended but if you are gonna be that childish, then cya! go to BF2 and piss them off.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Placebo said in his last interview regarding ArmA that it is starting to turn into game2 by itself. Could this be a reason for a delay, maybe they are doing more than we thinK? Anyone remeber Falcon 4.0? It took them 5+ yrs to release and when it did come out it was buggy as hell, a delay of 6months is nothing nowdays. Go BIS and I hope the OFP:E team who are moving over to ArmA will help speed things up somewhat.

To be fair, the two videos that were recently released of OFP: Elite showcases features that will probably also be in Armed Assault. We got a look at how the grass were implemented, and how vegetation would move with the wind and be affected helicopter rotors. There was also bump mapping (or normal mapping?) and detail texturing. Lastly, we got to see more of the updated water, which looks very good

And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we get a look at insects in the first video? I also thought the explosions looked a little updated. Not to forget the bouncing grenade, even if that's not exactly new

I could understand complaining a month or two back, when we hadn't heard anything in a long time. I complained too back then. But right now I'm satisfied with what we have.

(BTW czech did it very directly against Russians i think they still have negative opinions about russians in Prague)

That's true, unfortunately. Even the Red Hammer campaign was totally ruined by switching sides. Though I think it was done mainly to appeal to all the western fanboys.

I know I am going way off-topic but a soviet contigent led by a crazy rogue general abusing civilians is anything but unplausible.

[Colossus 2]

Is there a possibility to revive OFPN when ArmA comes out?

The site still looks pretty good to me

Yeah, the Retalation Campagin (Or how it was called) was much much better and I not only mean the storyline

aaahhh who the hell cares now.. There is coming lots of good 3D action/war games from other game makers. Bis are making very very slow work if it takes 4 years to make a 1.5 update.

Repeatedly making negative comments is tantamount to trolling, if you no longer are capable of saying anything remotely positive please refrain from posting.

but he can say his public opinion, can't he? [it's a publicforum]

i think it's like a censor.

You're welcome to search his posts over the last couple of months to see where I'm coming from.

Making your opinion known once or twice on similar issues is fine, repeatedly beating the forum with your opinion of sorrow and woe and angst is not fine.

Your Evil @!"¤Å@€Å$!!! Ban me if you want thats anyway best you can do on this forums... If we cannot say our opinions! Yes i know this is your forum but anyway you have to realise that very very small mount of people is playing OFP! Its over OFP is DEAD and if Armed Assault or what ever you will call it will have only a some freaking update than i can say you have failed! And those people who are yelling all the time ooohh... this is OFP its so realistic very good gameplay etc etc... Thats all bullshit!

WAKE UP!! There is lots of games that are good 3D action. Games arent suppost to train people to kill with somekinda of "war simulators" Games are made to have fun, enjoy your time, not for killing russians (BTW czech did it very directly against Russians i think they still have negative opinions about russians in Prague)

Well iam out of here! Wont play AA or OFP this is my opinion! Iam sure that AA is made only to get some pocketmoney for BIS! Making an update for 4 years??.. You really must suck!

I know soon Placebo will remove this post! Becouse he knows but can not accept this! You must be really a shimed!

cya in the next life when you will make your second update! nx_illusion OUT!

Acctually, OFP has one of the strongest and longest lasting communities I have ever seen for a non-mmorpg game. I'll bet any ammount of money that no where near as many people are playing BF2 in 4 years... so why we are enjoying our realistic, tactical war game that was can play for years and not do the same mission... you will be off... captureing bases over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again in BF2 till you get board after a month.

OFP dosnt teach you to kill any more then BF2 or any other game does. It just make the game more dynamic, with realistic missions, and non static gameplay. And a game set durring the Cold War... Hmmmmm I wonder whos going to be fighting who. Obviouslly its going to be west vs east... its a fact of life. Not "We hate russia, so they are who you are going to fight". You very well cant make a game called Cold War Crisis, and have the US fighting Austrailia or something....

Anyway, that update they are makeing will be a great update to a great game. If you knew anything about Arma you would know, that they have not been working on it for 4 years. It was an idea they got from makeing the Xbox game. Originally there was going to be no Arma, just Game 2. But to hold us over, they are makeing ArmA... its actually a smart move, and one that will make OFP fans happy.

One thing about your post bothers me tho... why the hell did you make an account to post here, when you dont even play OFP? You came here just to bash the developers and make an idiot out of your self? You know nothing about either game obviouslly, and have one hell of an attitude problem. Its quite obvious that you are just some 10 year old BF2 fan who things people who dont like repedativ run and gun games are losers. Well, your the loser here man.

Sorry for the off topic post guys, just my rant for the year.

1. I dont think Placebo will BAN you for your opinion, even if you wrote it rudely.

2. I agree that BIs took too much time making Arma ... i agree that BIs had no plan for the future and now rush all the things a little bit. And that pisses me off as well.

3. I am playing OFP for 4 years now and i support your opinion that OFP have hit its limits and in the future it will be in our memories. Even if the comunity is large, even if community made lots of addons, anyways, addons incopability issues are making communities work worthless. Evryday somebody makes some addons, but day after day those addons are forgotten and nobody even uses them. At the same time we see how community interpretate their fellings to OFP by making addons, missions, mods, islands.

And thats the part, that makes my fellings for OFP go mad ... sometimes i just DL some addons just to look what each community member/members wish to see in the OFP, that makes OFP unbeaten and that will make us to remember OFP for looong loong time ... forgeting all the CS and BF crap ...

4. Please give me examples of games that can be compared to OFP!

5. OFP is not a training program (like VBS) it was created to have fun. I see that you dont know a sh*t bout OFP communityand never played mp.

Just surf some forums of the clans and take a look ... those guys are very friendly fellas i had lots of good time with them online and on forums.

6. Yes ... lots of people have negative opinions about Russians (I am from east EU and btw speak Russian very well), but this does not mean that we hate em! As Most of the word have negative opinions bout Germany ... History is a thing that cannot be changed.

7. We will see if Arma was made just to get pocketmoney ... we will see ... at the moment we cant predict that. Anyways, if arma is 1.5 OFP and if it is true, BIs will loose most of the OLD community, thats for sure!

8. Even without knowing how Arma will look like i can tell for sure that your IQ is lower then most of the comentators here.

where is smilie "Don't feed trolls" or so ? ...

just u wait! ArmA is not only a new game or update it is a whole new playground fro modmakers. That is what it is all about to open up new boundaries with a new engine. Look at OFP today..anyone still in the community who doesnt download addons and still only plays 1.46 campaign? doooont think so just like for OFP to make the GAME community last for 4 years it doesnt just take BIS it takes the whole COMMUNITY...oh and trolls apparently.

Well in the above statements about the release yes I believe I was the last to interview Placebo and with Elite being released ArmA will most likely NOT be released by Xmas because why the hell release OFP to XboX then 3 moths later release a whole new OFP to PC's lol...

Think about it a little. People who have PCs (and don't have xbox) won't buy Elite because they will want to wait for ArmA. And people who have xbox probably have PC as well and perhaps they will consider buying ArmA also. And there will be more sales in general before xmas simply because people have a) more money and b) are in a jolly good mood So I wouldn't worry about it, I think BIS studied the market thoroughly already.

[ziiip 1]

BIS simply haven't signed the contract paper with a publisher, I think.

ArmA is no new game, it's just an update...

It's still based on the old engine, but with many improvements, but it's definatly not a new game, because there is no revolution!

it seems u missed my point. And besides with such limited information about ArmA I dont think u should be making such bold statements. From what I've seen of the engine its more than JUST an update.
