US Release ---- Armory Section

[chris3270 0]

The new Armory section is a disaster. It crashed the game three times and I had to reboot my computer once in order to make the engine souund go away (after crashing). I think it's a great idea though, I like the the infomration it provides but it needs some serious fixing.

Overall the game is great and a huge improvement over the past releases.

Can u give a little more detail of what the armory section is?

[chris3270 0]

In the US release BIS decided to include an Armory section that acts as a reference to all the vehicles and weapons in the game. It even gives you cut scenes and allows you to drive the vehicles or use the weapons.

For example... You can select the M1A1 and it will tell you about the tank itself (speed, armor, main guns, etc..) then it will allow you to select a cut scene so you can see the tank in action. Better yet you can select to try the tank by playing a few practice missions.

The idea is great and very cool, but it needs some work.

I guess it has to do something with this:

Probably you can look at all the vehicles, try them out and such, but I'm a poor 1.05(+) user too.

Edit: too slow...again

Yup, thats it. Don't worry since it crashes, your not missing much. Once they fix it it will be slick.

chris please give me your computer specs. even some of the top-end graphics cards need to donwload some new software.

My specs are as follows:

Intel Duo Core 2 6700 2.66GHZ

2GB RAM

160GB SATA Drive

NVIDIA GeForce 7950GT w/ 512MB

The game runs on Very High detail without a hitch. Just the Armory Section Crashes.

Bases on the information from the posts, I may be an isolated case. I am going to reinstall the game and see what happens.

Thanks for the info.

chris those are the same specs as my rig, except I havn't gotten the game yet. How high can you put the visibility (granted everytihng else is maxed out) until the frames start to show signs of choppiness? also, how high do you put your screen resolution to?

chris3270, thanks for the feedback. Does the Armory crash when you do something specific or 'randomly'? Like does it always crash when you press a certain button?

Also important: did you install any user-made add-on content?

Someone did post a screenshot. Its just like a libary of all vehicles and that in the game pretty much like the mission we have.

sounds pretty cool. i always like it when a game provides background information for the hardware you get to play with. games used to have that all the time (Need for Speed, Rainbow Six, flightsims etc.) but nowadays it's a rarity.

so does the new Armory replace "our" old library? is the Armory available from the start or do you have to complete the single missions in order to unlock it?

if it is available from the start, what is there to unlock?

It is there from the start and can be launched directly from the Play-section of the main menu.

The Armory definately replaces the Library, since it's not only a place to view information about the equipment. You also get to instantly try all of the equipment in a number of dynamic challenges. By completing such challenges you unlock more of the equipment (most of which is locked from the start).

User-made content is always unlocked and highlighted, and it can be used in the challenges as well. In fact, user-made content will populate many parts of the Armory ... for example a certain Challenge may use a user-made helicopter as the enemy to defeat.

Hopefully you will all enjoy it when 1.07 is released

Wow good idea to splice user made stuff into the challenges.

[paragraphic l 2]

You guys rock! The armory allready sounds nice for BIS content but to keep it alive you guys let the user-made content be available Makes it easier to test just downloaded weapons and such

And the cutscenes, just brilliant as I'd probably use that more
