The collision worries me a bit tho, when he fires the mi17, it flips upside down as in OFP

More to do with the physics than the collision detection?

I noticed that and was just about to say the same thing, bouncing vehicle!

[dm 9]

More importantly than that, the BMP that he kills with the T-72 appears to have popped a track. Does this suggest that mobility kills will now be possible?

Wow, really great movies

What's the music in both vids, I love it!

[dm 9]

Just grabbed screenshots

M1 sans tracks:

BMP sans tracks:

*Might* be damage models, *might* be popped tracks, hard to tell...

[Raptor 10]

nice vids, but I think to much vids spoil the enjoyment.

And I don't worry about the bumping heli, it looks like he only bumps to times.

It's normal the tailsection bumps a couple of times cos it's lighter then the cockpit.

Also, in the other other recent vids I don't see any tanks bump or slide.

notice:

on Pehota.avi video you can see the east soldier taking the mag of!

Look at shadow, the mag disapears meaning that the animation is already implemented in that version.

Nice as it would be, I don't think thats what you're seeing.

If you watch other soldier reloading animations, they twist the weapon through 90 degrees, so that the mag-well is pointing horizontal and left. I think this is what causes the shadow to disapear, rather than mag anims.

What Time B6?

37 sec to 41 sec +- (Pehota.avi)

@DeadMeatXM2- no comment.

edit: @DeadMeatXM2, i looked again and i think it could be what you said. hope your wrong though (lets all pray)

edit:1 i relooked and im sure, it removed weapon. use slow motion

Yes! I see it too, he puts it back. Look at his hand it can't be twisted 90 degrees or this north sahranian has elephantiasis.

edit: This is a mad nice surprise.

oh another thing:

notice the front down windows of uaz, they reflect the clowds!

this game will last for an eternity

edit: double post, sorry

[Jinef 2]

Chinstraps and Dissapearing Magazines .... So very very important ....

*sigh*

[Average Joe 0]

As a well-known superstore chain once quoted "Everylittle helps"

[Scrub 0]

Important to some, yes. (I could care less, not a biggie)

But a testament to BIS's capability and attention to details that allow complete immersion.

This is going to upset a few gaming mag's top 10 lists.

Yeah that reflection is subtle but still cool

But the shadows don't project on the UAZ

But this also was implemented in OFP:E so I guess they just missed this one or I'm seeing it wrong and the shadows don't reach up to the UAZ

[Daniel 0]

Yeah, look at the shadow of the soldier reloading his mag, never saw that coming.

The best parts I've seen of Armed Assault so far have been from inside the jeeps.

Ok while I share your enthusiasm about the recent videos and would probably mention all the positive developments had you not already beaten me to post I would like to raise the most worrying aspect:

Where are all the ENTERABLE buildings?

If ArmedAssault is a true successor to Operation Flashpoint or even OPF 1.5 it should have at least 1.5x the numer of enterable buildings.Yet all I see are dull uninspiring low poly buildings in the big cities.Has such a big sacrifice been made for the game to be CPU-friendly?Because this is seriously not a sacrifice worth taking.I hope I my worries are for nothing and that this buildings are place holders before it reaches gold status.

Other then the hotel can anyone report any other type of enterable buildings already included in the latest build?

I think it has been stated several times that there will be no enterable buildings.

Um.. I'm pretty sure they said it would be a mix of non-enterable and enterable buildings.

You know, actualy removing the magazine isn't present in Counter-Strike:Source, DoD:S, probably not BF2... dividing a weapon in to two models for an animation that you won't even notice while playing is lunacy.

I would much rather they work on getting muzzle flashes, tanks firing, and explosions just right than messing with this stupid shit that nobody will see unless they have a want to complain about something.
