ARMA 2 DE 1.01 (final) Impressions - Post ALL Impressions/Videos/Screenies Here

[maddogx 13]

The AI are definitely not super accurate. I had a couple of firefights yesterday on the top difficulty setting, no modified settings or values. Me as a lone soldier vs 5 Spetznaz (yes, elite soldiers), and I was never one-shot-killed.

First impressions after couple of training tasks. I love it ! :D

I bought OFP & Arma the day they were released and now this. So i'm pretty addicted to BI simulations.

This feels like a proper sequel to OFP and not gfx and terrain update that Arma was.

+ This time the camera shakes realistically when running. Also gear you carry makes awesomely realistic noise.

+ Sounds are much better than OFP and Arma.

+ Gfx and terrain style is much more realistic. Maybe because it looks a lot more the same like we have here in scandinavia in country side too.

+ Performance is superb. Runs as good as Arma with much more better gfx.

+ HALO jumps. I know i will be jumping a lot when playing this. Feels great.

+ Music is ok this time and doesn't get to my nerves like in Arma. Oh god i hated every song in that.

- Don't know any yet, because like i said i only tried couple of training tasks. And it's somehow a lot more easier to find good things than bad. Guess i'm different. ;)

In that first video you can practically smell the environment, and feel the heat of the sun and cooler shade. There's a brilliant atmosphere. Thanks mr gc!

Guys I've got one question to you, Is it possible to fight as a women or granny. Is it possible to sit in the tank as a gunner/driver/commander or grab a weapon and fight?

Or just they are useless like Reporter Maria from ArmA1?

[Spoock 3]

Maybe women are somethink as animals :D

I assume this was patched up from the interactive map?

Meanwhile the interactive map was updated:

- principal contours (and value)

- mountain names and symbols (trig. point with elevation)

etc.

It would be great if the community could come up with a proper printable topographic map (legend, UTM-Grid etc.)!

Oooh thats cold.

The female models do have skeletons set up this time around as seen in video's so through the "character selection" it is probably possible to play as a female character.

Yes I know we all want to have our granny tank squadron or pilots.

As I've heard womans are only civilians but im sure it's gonna get modded.

Now i see the point of not including children in the game but, woman soldiers are very common in todays armys.

( I guess it was left out due to harassment, but whats the point since you've them as civilians anyway )

I'm not asking about is it possible to play as a woman because I'm quite sure that is possible.

I'm asking is it possible to grab a rifle/pistol and shoot to enemy?

I stand corrected

No thats not possible, first thing i tried was to set up a hooker squad, arm them and get them in a vehicle addon from ArmA1 ( Kenjis still unreleased T-80s )... :D

They didnt show weaps or better said they were sunk in the ground when i tried to arm them via the editor.

They also didnt want to crew the Tank, they didnt even react to my get in commands.

Tried it with other females and same problem with all of them :(

With male models all worked fine and my team of Priests with AK74Ms were riding to battle in that T-80...

Strange, and it was possible to do all of that with the women that were introduced in OFP: Resistance. :butbut:

the gaming industries standards have changed much since then though I'm afraid.

My first thought when I took my first steps in ArmA 2 was that it's like OFP. It's exactly what I hoped ArmA would be. Unfortunately ArmA failed quite miserably in many ways. ArmA 2 on second hand manages to deliver the spirit of OFP but with major technological improvements. Overall it's by far the best production by BIS. Some minor bugs and glitches can be expected in a pre-worldwide release. In case you've forgot OFP was way worse when it came to bugs and glitches before the first patch arrived. Remember the flying cars?

I haven't played much yet but this looks very promising. Finally we have a true heir to OFP.

thats extremely true, i still remember reading the copy of HYPER ( best aussie gaming mag) and even with all the bugs it was the game of the month and game of the year for them and HYPER is an all formatt magazine.

So no Granny tank divisions? :(
