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

Recommended Posts

But i think its not fair , because :

First they tell us that the demo will be available on monday or evt tuesday , so its now wednesday and still no demo , and now they gonna tell us there will be no demo until after the release !

Im sorry but dont they think first before they saying something ?

if its true im really pissed:mad:

1. Walker doesn't work for BIS.

2. Walker doesn't represent BIS in his above comment.

3. We said we'll release it this week, the only thing holding it back is that we're actually refining it to make it a better all round experience for you so it demonstrates all aspects of the full version.

4. If you want to see an official update to the Demo question look here.

---------- Post added at 21:04 ---------- Previous post was at 20:33 ----------

All demo comments deleted (except mine which better be the final word on the issue in this thread). If you want to read the status of the demo then see point 4 above.

Any further demo comments in this thread will result in infraction warnings and/or infractions, that includes you Walker! ;)

ARMA 2 getting reviews in the 8.0-8.5 is a good sign.

OFP got a lot of 8.X reviews IIRC.

My other fav game, Red Orchestra, got a lot of 8.0-8.5 reviews too.

The fact that it's getting "B" ratings means:

It's a ton of fun, AI is great, blablabla but it's buggy and unpolished

I can EASILY live with that ;)

Jeux Video's review is rather elogious with the well expected reserves concerning the frustrating (and sometime old) bugs in a globally impressive title.

Short Translation of the French Review's conclusion

"General mark : 8/10 (16/20)

To give a grade to a title like Arma II isn't an easy task. In its current state, the big olive-drab baby from Bohemnia clearly lacks polish and would certainly deserve an inferior mark than 16, however it gives intense sensations inside a very feature-rich war sandbox. Complex, terribly demanding, violent, the title even manages to reproduce an atmosphere a lot more present and convincing than its predecessor. While waiting for the must-have patches that will allow it to fully express its potential, Arma II remains a title of its own kind which will be very hard to surpass in the future.

Graphics : 16/20 (8/10)

Playability :15/20 (7,5/10)

Duration :17/20 (8,5/10)

Sound :18/20 (9/10)

Story :16/20 (8/10)"

Hi all

Seems like ArmA II has now replaced Crysis, Company of Heroes, Supreme Commander, World in Conflict, Quake Wars: Enemy Territory, Unreal Tournament 3, and Far Cry 2 as the benchmark game program.

For both CPU:

And Graphic card:

I think the richiespeedisback thousands of AI missions is the best test for any computer.

The most important thing is that: the benchmarks mean we have solid info on which to choose the best system for ArmA II

Kind Regards walker

English version - looks like the game dislikes AMD CPU's, maybe thats the issue.

Both the 1000 AI and 1500 AI are in the most viewed this week page! So that's good news for the exposure it may be getting. As how it's not on the most viewed this month, I have no idea.

RockPaperShotgun have favourable first impressions here.

BTW, whilst I can see the appeal of the 1500-AI demo, I think the

is much more likely to make your average punter go 'wow'

Nostalgia kicked in for a moment there when the narrator started speaking, he sounds like Berghoff!
