ArmA Progress Updates

Recommended Posts

BIS already said no to starforce, maybe it's just some publisher trying to firce it on them.

Anyways, has anyone here seen the 5year anniversary press kits video? Amazing how many soldiers they had on screen at once. Gonna buy armed assault, but i'll probably dl a starforceless version...

Very impressive trailer. The running anim also seems improved or maybe its just me. I also must comment the music is really well done. I liked the middle eastern flair at the end of the trailer.

Ey wait where did the publisher info go? They found one? yay.gif

Its nice to hear the entire theme used from the trailer so long ago,its nice to hear something different than the usual kind of music.

I expect (and hope) that they only use it on the press-demo, as BIS dont want it leaked and the average reviewer cant break the starforce just remove it (myeah, uber-1337-h4ck3rs can, but thats not the average reviewer) wink_o.gif

Discussing copy protections contravenes forum rules. Discussing it any further may result in people being banned.

Publishers decide copy protection for retail products, so the whole point is moot.

Crazy Danish? I thought it was a cow.. or something. It 'MOO'ed, whatever it was tounge2.gif

@ Bravo 6, you will either see something - or not. Enjoy the tension, it's like sex! (just not legally or socially binding crazy_o.gif )

I have to say, that ArmA is coming together better than I had hoped. The grass, the animations, the SIZE of both the land and numbers of players is awe inspiring! thumbs-up.gifyay.gif

All look nice, very nice indeed. I really believe ArmA will look much better then this.. wink_o.gif

I also think they want us to get updates slowlly, so the shock be less heavy..

Placebo also told me that this isnt the surprice, and that the wiki isnt it neither (well, not ONLY the wiki, smiley )

look at 7th comment wink_o.gif

I think this was the special,if ya ask me its special enough,you have to keep an eye out for the details,look at everything closely and see what there is,some are obvious,others aren't.

The structure in the first image appears enetrable,shadows are also smooth and even appear on the glass,possible slight reflection on glass as well. Anti Alaising is also displayed in this image.

Image two shows the HDR and normal mapping on the hangars,possibly walking animation and the sexiest AH-1 texture I'v seen yet,hell the model is great,I'm glad they didn't make the TSS round like others have done And possibe reflections on the helicopters cockpit glass,note the blue hue.

The rest I leave for you to find.

Magnum..hm...I would tend to believe him,he received a beta and probably has been told some things,but damnit now I'm gonna need a new set of pants if this wasn't the suprise >< you guys are going to have me crying over the beauty of the game and I don't cry,argh. Oooooh corpse..

Quote[/b] ]BIS also developed a new tool named Linda, which helps the designers generating vegetation in a natural way. Most possibly this tool won't be released to the public due to its complexity though. We were told that no single tree in Armed Assault is modeled by hand anymore.

Full article.

cheers
