What you guys think, now that we finally saw that going over small obstacles was succefull... will that wall climb be in?

I hope so, this would get rid of another part of odd limitations for infantry.

I personaly would afraid get over this fence ;), if soldier inestimable high of plank it must really hurth :lookaround::o .

I remember 1,5 year old interview with Ohara, where he mention that in fact soldiers don't need get over barrier in VBS2 and they are actually pleased that soldier must go around obstruction, because in real combat soldier would commit dangerous when is getting over barrier. So maybe VBS3 will by without this feature :D.

They just updated link on the forums :(

[dm 9]

Now i really wonder if they change that little detail on Hummvee too (just copy -> mirror to opposite side -> paste) with the exhaust pipe and snorkel

Exhaust pipe yes, but the snorkel is in the correct place?

Hi all

Never noticed the Ural (ZU-23) before.

Kind regards walker

[sim0b 18]

The real operation flashpoint 2 :cool:

[Takko 10]

Yes.

By the way, JackFlash, why do you have got the BIS Team Avatar?

Its quite obvious that this is just an avatar and you're not a BIS Team Member?

[SaBrE_UK 0]

That's what I thought. He's 17 and from UK Midlands- kinda doubt he's even beta-testing ARMA2, let alone part of the team.

I smell a conspiracy :p

Thanks for that, although I feel sorry for Deadfast :p Since you're Czech, are there any bits of information you recognise as new or interesting that you could translate to English here? :licklips:

[Maio 293]

Nice find .

Ivan shure looked tired in the video :p .

It is Jan Prazak.....

BTT:

However, i have rather mixed feelings after i watched that Vid 2 times....

On the one side the Graphics of Landscape, Models, Towns, etc. are really absolutely superb, but on the other side it looks pretty much like plain Arma1, from the Game-Mechanic side....

A nice jump over obstacle animation we have in ACE too.... Head wiggle... ok... (i'll disable it anyway).

Still animations when they come out of Osprey is 1:1 from Arma1 (i hate that when they run by default with glued weapon on the shoulder :p ).

Also no opening of doors (we have that in ACE already - even though a engine limitation breaks it somehow with the non-possible delay) and no proper get-in animations....

Looks like they want to climb on roof when get-in that Humvee...

Can't BIS make at least one animation-type for wheeled vehicles, when get-in sideways?

This animation could be used for nearly all civilian cars, humvees, UAZs, etc etc....

And opening of doors before get-in and close after?

This is already possible, not very hard to do and add much to immersion.... 9 years of engine evolution and still no open doors is kind of poor in my opinion, sorry to say it like this.

Then there are still visible Arma1 bug-like LOD-poppings, for instance when switching from 1st to 3rd person, etc...

I really hope that this will be fixed until final version.....

I really wish i would understand Czech, maybe he gave very good infos....

I got the same feeling after watching the vid. Especially when he started driving the humvee, it looks just as clumsy as in ArmA1.

I would agree, but a good story, impressive AI and streamlining here and there will make me look past such [minor] things.

In one of the GC 2008 videos one of the devs said that they will have opening doors and hatches for the vehicles .

Plus the footage is still alpha

[Stimpak_Addict 0]

Did I hear the word "SecuROM"? I think I did close to the end of the video. Hopefully he was talking about there being no SecuROM.

@ maionaze, are you really sure?

I think they rather denied it IIRC, together with other immersion-bringers like Tank Interiors, Proper Get-In Animations and stuff....

I don't want to rant about Arma2/BIS with this, but let me try to formulate it like this:

Considering that Arma2 is currently already in a Beta-Stage (means pure Bugfixing now) and what we see in the Vid was a very late Alpha version (means its likely it will look like that in Beat/Final version), then i get a very queasy feeling in my guts... :(:o

Now i understand at some point, why we not saw much actual gameplay footages before *cough*

[z190075 10]

I think i looks amazing:-)

Deadfast you got work:-P

Hm ... are we shure it's in beta stage ? We did see the " testers needed " but did they start testing it ?

According to what Jan Prazak said in germany ~2 weeks ago, yes.....

Could you find the the thing with the open-able doors on GC 08?
