Garcia 0 Posted August 20, 2006 people whined about the smoke looking bad in the E3 pictures...now the damn smoke/fire looks much more real than anything else Fire and smoke almosts looks like it have been edited in...clipped and pasted from real life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archsceptic 21 Posted August 20, 2006 Dont you think something looks a bit strange with this smoke? I think it's the scale, the smoke plumes look to be about a mile away but they are only just behind the soldier? http://ofp.gamepark.cz/news/pics3/newarmapics1.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote[/b] ]I dont know wether you're agreeing with me or disagreeing with me? let's say I agree and disagree with you, because for me too the smoke seems a bit odd , but I won't complain about it , since with the drop command I suppose it is very hard to get a better result. fair enough ?

NeMeSiS 11 Posted August 20, 2006 what do you espect , the way the smoke is done is ofp and arma doesn't give much possibilities , you can only find a better texture...that's good the way it is. Since when do you know how smoke is done in ArmA? Do you have it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simba 0 Posted August 20, 2006 does this " " means you know something more than me ? by looking at the screenshots watching the videos , and from the little knowledge I have about how the smoke is generally done in games , I presume it's a drop system .

Â I dont know more then you But looking at the screenshots doesnt immideatly tell me its done the same way as in OFP, ever tried CoD2? But its hard to tell from static screenshots But i dont think they did the same as john did with his mod, it wasnt smooth enough to release it in a game (no offence to john, i still love your mod but most regular gamers/reviewers wouldnt understand it ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USSRsniper 0 Posted August 20, 2006 I already see bug... http://ofp.gamepark.cz/news/pics3/newarmapics2.jpg look closely on helicopters tail rotor, do i see hole in smoke where tail rotor is? looks like this will be never fixed since OFP.... maybe game 2?

bravo 6 0 Posted August 20, 2006 yes i noticed that bug too... Thought BIS had fixed all OFP bugs.. no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ti0n3r Posted August 20, 2006 If it looks the same as it did in the E3 Demo then I'm not impressed at all (Quite the opposite really) ;P But if they've worked more on it then who knows what it could look like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sophion-Black 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Ohh!Look at the eyes...overtired guys or did he fight with the boyfriend of a local girl :P <img>http://home.arcor.de/bodzguard/overtired.jpg</img> But I won´t turn it into a situation like "BIS give us Screens - We have to find bugs"... Another thing... I keep seeing this over and over so I have to ask: Why is the US Flag Backwards on the [ArmA] uniform? I'm guessing they don't know that on the US Uniform the Flag ALWAYS advances (never retreats). Can someone point that out to the Bigwigs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not only has this been mentioned to death, but I believe placebo said it was being worked on; you should read the previous posts before complaining, if you're goint to argue at least have a valid point.

GBee 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Why is the US Flag Backwards on the [ArmA] uniform? *sigh* Isn't this the 3rd post of this issue in the last two/three days? More importantly Placebo restated that this will be fixed. Please read before posting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
