Latest ArmA2 & ArmA2:OA Press Coverage | NO discussion here!

[Takko 10]

As much hype as there is I think we all know the game will be riddled with bugs for the first 2 or 3 months after release and almost unplayable. I'm hoping I'm wrong but don't get your hopes too high.

When you know it,, why are you still hoping?

I know that its going to be a great game.

[_Cappa 10]

yes thats what I mean wheel for vehicles stick for aircraft plugged in simutaneously

Good news "yes, joystick and pedal support as well as TrackIR5."

Great stuff! thanks Cappa

[Spoock 3]

demo sounds nice, but I want demo with same time as german release :/

[_Cappa 10]

They are staying there until "the end of the day" I'm so jealous :P

Any more questions? - I will post them if you want me too :)

[Killerwatt 0]

Is it possible to fire rifle when in vehicle?

[someboy 0]

Could you ask about performance/lag issues? Does it run smooth?

[Killerwatt 0]

They are wrapping things up now. Was pretty good though.

[ziiip 1]

Can you ask if the movement of other characters/vehicles still seems jerky in MP? It was a big immersion killed for me in ArmA1.

[_Cappa 10]

Yeh it was fun. There will be a preview from www.tacticalgamer.com.

Also : -

ArmA2PC @LaurenceLaycock we'll sort that out and we will also create a list of everything from today and send it to 505 and BIS for answers

Could you ask about performance/lag issues? Does it run smooth?

The pc systems were supplied by Nvidia..so i highly doubt there would be Performance/Lag issues.

[Misfit Leader 1]

It was probably something like quad-core and GTX285/295.. but the problem is now, how will it run on ATI hardware ?

It was a cool event :)

[Misfit Leader 1]

Well, I guess we here in Germany will take the brunt of that first wave of bugs. We basically get to beta test the game for three weeks before it comes out for you guys, and by then BIS will surely have released one or two patches. :)

It's confirmed that 505 Games won't have the same version as Morphicon.

3D editor: confirmed! Tank combat has apparently also been overhauled, I'm very eager to see how. Tank combat AI was much less playable in Arma than OFP, I hope they have had a look at this.

Where is that written?

Where is that written?

This was the question:

@ArmA2PC Is the tank combat improved in terms of FCS and stuff?

...and the answer:

@funny9uy1 tank combat has been overhauled, we're sure you'll see a vast improvement

Haha maybe the german version IS the demo:D

Regarding the 3D editor:

Where is that written?

JorgePT@ArmA2PC: Can you confirm that we will have a 3D editor in ArmA2?

ArmA2PC@JorgePT confirmed!

EDIT: This Twitter thing is really confusing, you have to go fishing for the questions. (Press the link "in reply to xxxxxx", in grey below the answers, to see the questions.)

I wonder what does "overhauled" mean. It's probably better not to expect much, but if it's better than in ArmA it's already great.

[Scrub 0]

They have added more than I expected.. On the subject of content and improvements I'm a happy camper, wanna SEE it though!

[whisper 0]

HArd to follow the twitter thingy, but lots of infos.

Like, no release for 360 planned atm

the things only gets worst!!! now i am overhyped and wanted to know MORE!!!!!

[_Cappa 10]

Cool answers to my questions: -

"AI use supressive fire against you and OTHER AI. It effects things like aim (weapon sway etc)."

"There's no 'wearable/take-offable' armour but penetration is calculated to take standard armour into account on units."

"There's a definite improvement over earlier games thanks to better IK (inverse kinematics)."

"NO! No rain inside or under shelter (like big trees etc). Call off the plumbers."

LOL at last one :D

There will be a "review" at www.tacticalgamer.com, keep checking it out.

Probably when the game gets released.
