Vultar 0 Posted June 3, 2008 As I play many military games I see that ArmA is better than others with graphics and wide wariety of activities like flying, driving etc. etc. etc. But there are two things that mess ArmA. 1. Animations. Arma animations aren't good, running models do not look anyhow realistic, also dying animations aren't realistic, because they fall the same way whereever they go shot, and what's a real shame - there are about 5 dying animations at all... What's more, ArmA is missing a lot of little animations, for example putting NVGs on head or taking out map to have a look. Also, weapons should be animated, because ArmA from 1st person looks like game from 2001... Let's have a compare with other games. America's Army(1) vs ArmA Armed Assault(2) (1)This one has fully animated weapons, each one got other keeping animation, each one can JAM. Those weapons got many functions such as regulating aimer. Javelin got great targeting system. (2)This one got nice weapons models, unfortunately, those weapons can only shoot, aren't even animated. And perspective isn't even calibrated... (Of course there are a lot of things in which AA is much worse than ArmA, for example AA's peoples are almost bulletproof, sometimes even head shot is not enought) Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter(1) vs ArmA Armed Assault(2) (1)This one got nice AI, like supressing fire, flanking enemies. AI fight great in city, they take cover, they dont want to die. (2)ArmA's bots are suiciders, they move on street and fire to anyone they see, if you take cover they are not supressing but forgeting about any target. (Of course there are a lot of things in which GRAW is much worse than ArmA, for example GRAW have no wounds) 2. Gameplay. I don't want to say that gameplay in ArmA is bad, because I like it. I want to say its a bit too slow and 'plastic'. For example why soldier exiting hummer got no chances to survive? Also, if we are aiming at someone in crouching position and we change it to standing, why we lose perspective? I'm sure that I could stand up without losing the target in real life. Some of those transitions are strange, some of them are missing. To all who took me wrong, I just wrote mine and my friends' opinion, I am not saying any bad word on ArmA because it's my favourite game, I just want to mark things that can be annoying, not only for me.
