[berghoff 11]

verry nice Screens.

http://www.armed-assault.eu and http://www.armedassaults.de and http://www.bis-ingame.net visits the GC (IDEA) in Sunday.

We will see what the 5 people will bring for information.

I think all the same info? Maybe with new screen though.

Quote[/b] ]Question:

The E3 Demo used Starforce as copy protection. Will ArmA use this in the final product?

Answer:

This decission is still to be made

Well, I make my decission acording to this as well then...

@Berghoff, i dont know. I do not hope it. I know only that there is an appointment with IDEA games. -> 2-hour demonstration through BIS

Can someone explain to me what the problem with starforce is?

[CsonkaPityu 0]

Zerstörbare Gebäude! Music to mein ohren!

edit: Alright then, no starforce discussions.

Can someone explain to me what the problem with starforce is?

Yes, the problem is that discussing it on these forums will result in a ban, read the forum rules please.

That goes to the rest of you as well.

I hope they are allowed to make some videos, so we can see:

- that great smoke effects.

- the destructible buildings

- improved ai (getting cover and such things)

- animations (like reload, etc)

- the biggest city in that "demo"

- civils with shoes

- new physics

- etc etc etc

@destroyable buildings

Robert Stipek from BIS told me, that they are on a very final stage of development for this feature. So he was shure that it is in the final product of Armed Assault.

You should see three phases, hit or fire effect, second some smoke and particle effects and after all you will see a ruin with some broken walls around it.

Its not definetly confirmed that it will be there for all buildings.

@ movie

there is also a 100MB trailer with 2 minutes lenght. But I was not able to host it at this time. The movie shows the new smoke and particle effects, an AV-6 Harrier and some more stuff. Improved AI is not focused in.

Greetings from Leipzig, GC Germany.

Very nice,Thanks for those screenshots and reports.

But: Could any of you guys pester BIS about AI improvements over OFP while you are there please .

Or Game2 is changed now to ArmA.

Looking really good.

One sad thing is that :

"Will Armed Assault lying under our christmas tree this year?"

"Well, that's our goal but I can't confirm that with 100 %."

So don't expect release anytime soon.

ArmA uses Real Virtuality 2 engine. Dunno about game 2

[berghoff 11]

ArmA is still a bit 'compatible' with OFP but Game2 will be entirely new engine AFAIK.

[VISTREL 0]

I think the final build of Arma will have same capabilities as Game2 @ 2005.

Hey, sweet: "The main rotor moves according to the steering".

LOL the german commentary in the videos is damn funny (furztrocken). Although the vids are a bit short, the quality they show is amazing, the graphics are real fast (not to mention the system that demo is running on ). So i recommend to have a look onto the two videos as well as onto the 61 images, for more foliage and stuff. All told - good job. As usual BI

[Guest Ti0n3r]

Nice to finally see the mission editor. Looks pretty nice

Like "sieht recht nett aus"?

This is a criminal understatement!!
