iGnitor 0 Posted March 5, 2007 So after playing ArmA on MP, I've come up with the following; -Netcode is much improved over OFP but could still do with further refinement to bring to up to the levels on Battleifield Series or closer to a LAN experience. BF does handle vehicles well and this is what I notice most about it. Although people may disagree, if you compare an average game of say BF2 and BF2142 to the ArmA/OFP series, you will notice far smoother movements in gameplay. -Playability is very decent. Can feel a touch sluggish at times, but overall good. OFP had a slight edge over this but not by much. -Ability to join during play is a big plus. -Good atmospheric detail. I'm liking it very much so far. -Nice sounds effects... Perormance issues on my AMD 3200+ 64-bit: None whatsoever and generally plays very smooth. Improvements to make: Online play performance- sweeten this up some more by refining the code that effects online play and lag issues and you have a sweet deal already. That's my personal take on it. Single Player- To be tested. Overall, it's coming along well but as always, it's not perfect and needs much fixing in quite a few areas. A postive result so far.
