Realistic Terrain

Nice scenery and looks more AI friendly than those higher hills/mountains in North-Sahrani. I wonder if Ivan Buchta can show us some new ingame pics of the landscape?

That pic isn't representative of every landscape and it is not even representative of a very common landscape. The real world has plenty of flat, open planes too.

Hi, it's true, that's the south of my region, a line of hills; but i can

show you small terrain elevations in parks, in the outside of my

city, in the outside of any city where i've been, in the woods of my

province (asturias, in the North of spain.) at the sides of the roads,

at the feet of the rocks made walls that surround many roads, at the

sides of the highways, in the middle of 'em, in many trees fields, in

the industrial complexes and also at the sides of every damn river

that i've seen; the open nature and also the places where the humans

have put theyr feet have that kind of small terrain deformations, in

one part or in another, but they're almost everywhere unless yes,

in the middle of some fields for the cows and other weed eater

animals. But without a more bumpy terrain in game... we'll be

again in the hands of AI sniper machinegunners & they'll be in

the hands of our M40A3's & Barrets; so i'll suggest BIS to make

the terrain a bit more bumpy and the AI smart enough as for use

the terrain shape in theyr advantage to advance & build some

real squad tactics. Let's C ya

If ArmA2 is to succeed as a combat simulator, you would think that more detailed terrain would be a must. I'm sorry, I love ArmA, but terrain just doesn't look like that close up. I can walk outside and find a ditch in fifteen paces. Combine bushes with ditches and you have perfect cover In arma you have to use trees or buildings as cover, which is not what you would do if you had a perfectly good ditch! I mean, it's pretty much what a trench is isn't it?

Dont forget there are small bumps/hills/mountains in ArmA not only buildings, trees and objects to cover behind. But yeah, a ditch would be f-ing sweet. Too bad its so hard to make a ditch in ArmA (or was it? i dont remember).

Hi, allow the island makers build tunnels or caves will be a good sign

of realism posivilities, plus can do or add trenches; that they're very

common in fortified possitions, improvised bases or just by the guard

perimeter of any stablished base or outpost. A war without trenches

is not a war, just a unrest firefight. Let's C ya
