Chernarussian military has been trained by Western armies in past years, but it retains weapons and equipment of the Soviet Army, its direct predecessor. Its main task during the past years for was to fight challenging counter-insurgecy campaign in the mountaineous regions of Northern Chernarus.

   "In the name of freedom, equality and brotherhood of nations of the Fatherland, we swear to fight for the freedom and independence of the Republic of Chernarus."

   - from the Oath of Enlistment of CDF

   * Equipment of CDF soldiers is a mixture of older gear, modern kevlar helmets and camouflage fatigues based on Soviet airborne uniform design. Soldiers are armed with AK-74 rifles, PKMs and other personal weapons of Eastern provenience.

   * CDF uses whole spectrum of Cold-War era vehicles: T-72 main battle tanks, BRDM-2 and BMP-2 personel carriers, UAZ cars and Ural trucks.

   * High mobility of CDF troops in the mountains is ensured by Mi-17 transport helos. Close air support is provided by Su-25 attack jets and Mi-24 Hind helicopters.

   * Although there are no „special forces“, Chernarussian soldiers always serve in place of their origin and thus know local conditions, which is especially useful for protecting locals against extremists.

   * Recent training with NATO armies and foreign help enables CDF to cooperate with USMC and efficiently fight the insurgency.

seen it and in the grafics department it looks very prommising. But apart from that it really seems much like a pimped up arma. I really hope they are gonna show some real gameplay footage as i,m am becoming increasingly worried that it will be much like arma with a few interesting new features but not more

[Brendon 0]

Yeah, I could hear the old ARMA Sounds and Arma Like talking "ALL, GO TO THAT TANK 8 O'CLOCK".

Also saw the usual AI Stop and Go.

Really this worries me. Also i hope there will be a lot more action in the firefight. In arma i just wasent impressed also because of the sounds. I want to be totally blown away by the confusion and sounds of a heavy rifefight like in brother ins arma hell highway were i really got a kick out of fighting the germans never had that with arma.

It looks like they have worked on the animations. + Camouflage actually fills a function now, did not discover a guy the first time I viewed the vid.

Tank-shoot sound could be a little bit better, but it is hard to say from a video.

Graphics are good, realistic, not arcade-like like in Crysis.

Why cant we dl any of the videos?

There are links, but the vids are always removed...

I like the tank shooting fx, not as good as in the pre-rendered OFP2 video but definitely an improvement from ArmA.

Here's the OFP2 vid for reference:

Notice effect on grass. Please BIS, add that too.

You do know that's rendered right?

[Placebo 29]

Comparing pre-rendered CG video from one game to real ingame videos from another game is pointless. It's like comparing a horse to a unicorn.

[Pulverizer 1]

I know it's not a fair comparision, but that's where BIS got the inspiration to change them in the first place, right? Why not go all the way. It's a good thing the fx get changed to the better yes?

I know it's pre-rendered, that's why I said "pre-rendered" and I wasn't saying OFP2 will feature better fx in-game than ArmA2. Sheeesh... Relax people

[Placebo 29]

but that's where BIS got the inspiration to change them in the first place, right?

[Pulverizer 1]

I mean, it's obvious, right?

Even Marek himself says that competition with OFP2 is an additional motivation to BIS, so it's reasonable to assume they keep an eye on the OFP2 media and perhaps take some little tips here and there on how to make ArmA 2 even better than OFP 2

Nobody can take inspiration from pre-rendered CG, it's fake.

What...

That's like saying "you can't use an idea if the idea hasn't already been used".

Not the same at all, if you find CM's faked CG inspiring that's what matters

To implement such an effect we would need the PhishX card at least.

It's any different from taking inspiration from real-life footage?

Would you consider real-life footage as a "fake" inspiration as well?

Also, in-game rendered CG is also CG and also "fake".

"FAKED CG" .... Isn't CG faked by definition? What is real CG then?

in-game CG and pre-render(or "concept"/"mock-up" CG if you like) CG have their difference, thats where the real/fake idea comes from

P.S. if i were you i would simply stop being smarta$$ and play with the words like a defence lawyer does, it wont show yourself being smarter then the others, it only draw bullets

Oh yeah? Well I already won like Six Billion Internets here today so I guess I could ease up a little for now.

the CDF are stooges of the West!!

I so gonna shoot their troops during the campaign, hell if i can, i'm gonna call in a artillery strike on them.

Well i hope they use different tactics then the commies if they are trained by the west. In OFP and ArmA the East and West AI use the same tactics during a fire fight and operating with vehicles.

'rendered CG' -- 'pre-rendered CG'

Prerendered gives an incredbly unfair advantage to graphics.

seemly its not the case, making 2 set of AI using different tactics would just cause too much time and work that makes it unreasonable

I think real life is where they are getting inspiration from, not CM's renders. You think they developed Linda because of CM's videos?

They said that competition inspired them to work harder, not that they were taking lessons from CM propaganda. Even back when the OFP2 renders first came out, Ohara's words were something like, "We are finishing up the game, and they are still in the promises phase. Promises can be anything". Does that sound inspired to you?

I think CM's PR strategy so far has been a cautionary tale, not an example to live by.
