"If you see the flash, it's allready too late for ArmA"

LoL, that's a pretty god one!

2 months passed since last update. Well...not bad, we had to wait longer for the update in december.

ArmA should be bloody tremendous, we've been waiting year!

ArmA was announced during E3 2005, you haven't even waited 1 year yet

Next thing we'll hear from Placebo is: "ArmA was announced during E3 2005, you haven't even waited 2 years yet "

Just kidding, for all of those impatient people, go get a life, it ain't all about the games.

... And in this time next year, we`ll be a millionaires

just relax ... and think on that that more it`s delayed more better game will be and i guess more features from Next Game will be included.

Some more info I managed to scoop, not sure how official it is.

Armed Assault:

The old campaigns are included. There's a new island (Sara) larger than 100 kmË›, where the new campaign takes place. Inspired by the korean situation there is an "evil" aggressive North and a "good" South which you'll support as an american soldier. The battles shall be huge, just like real life.

Battles in MP shall be larger too and can take multiple days in real life. That shouldn't pose a problem though, as you can join the battle anytime.

The AI shall be good , but it shall be easier for newbies by turning on green and red auras for friend and foe. Terrain won't be deformable because the devs are afraid the missions could be influenced negatively.

In game you shall be able to shoot through walls, casing, etc., you can hide from bullets behind house walls though, behind tarpaulins not. Ricochets shall pose a threat too.

In Multiplayer there shall be a commander who doesn't participate in battle.

The authors guess that the game is done by 3/4 and that the beginning of next year should be a realistic release date.

Thanks Placebo, I remember reading those now...

[NeMeSiS 11]

Yeah i was hoping for that aswell, it doesnt have to be completely dynamic for now, but it has to be improved!  

(+it would probably be good for the sales

"Hey, isnt that that game where you could blow up complete citys and stuff with tanks and chopper?"

"sounds cool, lets buy it"

Yeah, you could do this in Soldner, but didn't help the game sell, because of the crappy attitude of their publisher. I just hope ArmA is treated better...

[stegman 3]

New stuff!

and

Nice stuff!

More precisely it's my german -> english translation of Lord Lesters czech -> german translation. No guarantee on the twice translated info contained.

But if placebo posts it, it can't be that badly translated.

Hehe, that should feel like in GR: Advanced Warfighter.

Well it would be really hard to play the old campaigns without the original vehicles and weapons, wouldn't it?

And I really doubt they changed them in the original campaigns since they take place in the early/mid eighties and putting modern equipment in would be highly unrealistic.

Has we can all see the old stuff is in but finally they have bothered to make new, better looking units such has the BMP2 and T72 seen in the latest pics, something that could have been done to other products that are somehow related to flashpoint .
