Colossus 2 Posted July 20, 2006 I wouldn't be so sure about that, these are fresh screenshots from today (otherwise they wouldn't be so high on the "new screenshot"-list they have) I think these are pictures given directly from BIS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meyamoti 0 Posted July 20, 2006 Hmm...well we can't really get much info from the demo holders,the things I'm wondering. The FN100 images had anti alaising,why go back? Another thing would be that issue with the soldiers M16A2 in picture 5,the 'gif' appearence,this was seen in the demo,trailer,demo videos and other earlier images,yet on the FN100 there is no sign of this problem. I can't say for sure if the Mi-17 is the same,in the other image with it the lighting doesn't match up so its hard to tell if the normal map or the rivets are there.

ebns72 0 Posted July 20, 2006 Really nice screenshots, however one thing annoys me. The way the soldier's ACU has a "shiny" effect makes it seem pure white from a long distance. This has...very little camo value. Anyone else noticed this? It makes it not blend in with woodland at all. EDIT: here's an example: http://www.armed-assault-zone.com/images/photoalbum/125.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It makes it not blend in with woodland at all. It might have something to do with the HDR lightning, which can probably be turned off. I hope so, it makes me blind and hurts my eyes.

Yeah, but it should also be possible to simply make the texture non-reflective. It would be nice to be able to have HDR as well as realistic looking soldiers.

meyamoti 0 Posted July 20, 2006 In the right light camo irl will look bright as well,especially real sunny,most military images I'v seen have a overshadowing or cloudy sky or something of that nature,and if the camo is faded that just makes it that much brighter.

Commando84 0 Posted July 21, 2006 omfg!!! new screens again! I love ya bis! Nice car seriously! And intresting screens the rest too. The game looks release ready for this year judging by the screens imo.. Keep up the nice work Bis team! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meyamoti 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Judging from screens,we don't necessarily know how everything works,just looks,and even then thats some,we haven't seen the rest of the 40 vehicles and I dont think we will until ingame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most development/debugging starts and gets polished by isolating the element you're tweaking and what it interacts with. Â So they may have grabbed some images with some elements suppressed..

Ukraineboy 0 Posted July 21, 2006 I wish we'd see different vehicles and tanks. So far we've seen what? 10 different vehicles? Where's the newer pictures of: Mi-24 Southern Sahrani forces plus Royal Guard Special Forces Northern Special Forces Civilians Pistols and soldiers armed with pistols A-10 Su-25 Shilka SMGs (Bison? MP5?) BTR We've been seeing the same thing over and over again. Where's the new stuff? Why have we been seeing E3 Press Demo screenshots for the past 2 months? Also, at E3 they said game has 3 months more of development time...its now been 2 months. Where's the updates or maybe even a demo? When was OFP demo released in correlation with OFP?

jakerod 254 Posted July 21, 2006 No one said there would be a BTR. There was a shilka in one of the videos and also in a screenshot somewhere I believe. Anyone else see the black muzzle flash? Muzzle Flash The forest in those pics looks quite nice though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ukraineboy 0 Posted July 21, 2006 No one said there would be a BTR. There was a shilka in one of the videos and also in a screenshot somewhere I believe. No, there is a BTR. If there is a Stryker, the other side will have a BTR. Plus I remember seeing one in a video, that one where they quickly go through all the vehicles. And yes I have seen a shilka in a video, but I mean real high quality screenshots, not just glances in videos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scrub 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Looks like the black muzzle flash do-hicky is an alpha channel issue. (looks like they have the flash itself nicely done). Great details seen in the hatches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Journeyman 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Edit: Those bullet holes DO look pasted on, don't they? One bannana for just for the idea of it  ... Needs some Isopon P40 IMO! They look more like rust holes to me! C'mon,the whole car looks like a rust bucket!  I wanna see cars with various degrees of rust and patched up bodywork, broken door mirrors and missing panels! If I see a brand new shiny BMW 7 Series I'll shoot the shit out of it!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, where is the new stuff? Could it be that this AA may flop like OFP2? "Just taking the negative side for once. And just stiring the BIS pot a little." I would like to see some progress too. Whens this going to offically hit the states? Q4, calander year of fiscal year? I bet mid 2007. I know there is no USA publisher signed as of this point. I'm just worried because this is starting to head in the same direction as OFP2. ARG!!!!!!! just show us the light BIS! I need another hit of some more OFP! Soothes my addiction.

Heatseeker 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Didnt those M16's use to look better? The new pics are ok, still looking forward to see new gameplay features though . edit: The new Mi-24 was already seen in a older movie, i remember seeing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VISTREL 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Id love to see MI24 with more polygons. My only guess is that BIS will release new info by bits until the full release. They already improved quality of models by margin. Arma screens looks a lot more similar to Game2 screens now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guyguy1 0 Posted July 21, 2006 I havn't seen a single m2a3 the entire time from when BI started releasing screenshots up until now. My guess is they forgot to screenshot it (I hope)? The Bradley is a common & effective vehicle and will be in use by the US army for a while...so i don't know why they wouldn't make one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
