Let's hope so.

LOL

That'd be funny to see in ArmA.

EDIT: Disreguard previous post.

I hope BIS doesn't go with the de-saturated look. It makes the game look incredibly dull and exactly the same as OFP1. High polycounts and textures don't matter if the game looks boring. Go outside if you think they are oversaturated-the world looks like that! With vibrant greens and sunshine and beautiful, blue skies! Especially considering Sahrani seems to be a tropical location!

Nighttime still looks like crappy, pitch-black Black-And-White OFP But I'm sure BIS is going to improve that and they haven't gotten to it yet.

Also, the forest in one shot looks like it lacks undergrowth..dense undergrowth is a must!

One way BIS can fix this cheaply though is for certain forest areas and textures have the grass texture be replaced by a Fern Texture So instead of having dense grass in a forest (Which you don't really see IRL except in forest clearings) you have dense ferns and small shrubs in the forest.

However, I also see kneepads and camelbaks in a few shots

observe: here are the two different style sleves in the same shot.  What's that all about?

Some one asked "why are there army and navy units mixed together?" (marine cobra is in the game aswell as other army things).  My theory is that the army call the speedy responce of the marines.  One of the gus in this image is navy, one army.  Notice how the guys at the back does not have the bull symbol on his arm. Whats your thoughs on that?

Maybe im totally wrong.

As far as the different details on the soldier models, i.e. with/without kneepads, short/long sleeves, camelbacks etc My guess is that BIS are trying to vary the units so that squads don't look like a bunch of clones.

I remember reading in these forums that Marines don't wear ACU, so I don't think the short sleeved units are marines. In one screenshot a short-sleeved soldier is seen to wear the 'bull' patch.

I do however believe that we will see marines in the game, it's probably just that they haven't been modelled yet. Like we have yet to see tank crew and pilots.

hmm...sounds possible.

I like the idea of different guys. In Ten Hammers, the guys all have some slight difference, making them unique. THis would be nice in ArmA. Hope your right.

You don't see the bull because he is too far away. LODs

arma can afford modelised sand bags i think, someone will have to mod this.

I personally don't like these sand bags..

They look like they were painted in a wall..

Is that the best they can do?

I'd love to see you make something better.

Plus it needs to be in low-poly not 10,000 polys for a sandbag wall.

totally true, sandbags doesn't need to be uber nice

just as they work as sandbags

[deanosbeano 0]

lol ,i think some people have forgot which market this game is aimed at .

"Recent articles speculated that the game may appeal to a more mainstream gamer "

mainstreamers dont have time to see if shirt sleeves are down or sandbags look shit.they too busy spamming and shouting obsmeties down the mike or yelling cheat .

p.s i do realise it is only aimed more towards MStream than ofp it isnt totally aimed at Mstream. but the fact it is give bis a bit more liscence to hmm omit some detail than if it was a full simulator ..

what do i personally think of arma?

a goodlooking version of ofp that is tweaked perfect for main stream games in vast enviroments. big tick job done

is it a sequal to ofp ? never .

yes, the more detailed and realistic those soldiers look, the more are such variations needed.

What i'd LOVE to see would be variations within animation, so that different soldiers would aim their gun slightly different from others, put the rifle butt not always at the same place, walk a bit different etc. The exact same movements for each soldier makes them more look like clones than the same uniform (imho).

But i guess that if it's needed that all people in the game are the same height for animation purposes (most recent interview), there can only be one set of anims for everyone amiright?

I think many of you are really looking too far into this ...one guy thought it was reallly hot out so he rolled up his sleeves, and the other guy was to lazy to do so. Also, only army wears ACU.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Especially since there is a visible light source (lighthouse) that shines on the terrain...but the terrain is still black-and white. This indicates that the unrealistic light shader is still in. Also, no new lighting effects are visible for nighttime-it looks exactly the same as OFP1. This screenshot looks like a 2001 throwback.

[NeMeSiS 11]

but the terrain is still black-and white. This  indicates that the unrealistic light shader is still in.

IMO it isnt totally unrealstic, it is very hard to see different colors when its dark in real life

And that screenshot is way to blurry to see if its still the same kind if 'OFP-triangle-lines-lightning'

Yeah,generally when it is night time and there are no lights around its pitch black sooo...yeah thats realistic,unless the moon is full or so,I can't say I'v walked out in the night while fishing a few times and my surroundings were blue but instead black and I couldn't see a damn thing....

Even with the full moon, you wont see something something thats normally red, its more a grey-reddish color

[ebns72 0]

Yes, but if a high-powered light is shining upon it, it usually tends to be its normal color.

[Scrub 0]

Yup. It depents on the energy of the photon that gets to the eye whether a Cone (color) or a rod (b/w, intensity) in the retina triggers to create the image in our minds.

Exactly!! Thats why I turned off that with dxdll in ofp..
