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

I just hope BIS is working hard to solve the problems, fix what there is to be fixed and then continues polishing the game. I just hope so. Giving a low rate that might steer gamers away from it might be an incentive to make them work ASAP. Before the game becomes a flop, only played by hardcore fans.

Do you know BI? oO

Yes patches and further support are nothing we need to worry about, for me thats another thing that should be important in a test even if it only affects it by 1-2 points.

Not from my side as their 66% rating tells me they rather should test stuff like CoD series.

I totally agree.

Even with the bugs & performance problems Arma 2 is the only reason to continue playing games at older age.

I hate those kind of reviews that give such a bad rating only because of bugs. I mean the gameplay is all that matters.

If stalker got a bigger rating than ArmA2 on release then they're full of shit. End of story. Stalker was bugged! And they only tried to make an open world!

ArmA 2 supply trucks in a campaign warfare mission. This happens pretty often, and usually they ram it until they blow up.

Stalker hat such a great atmosphere and feel but in 4 attempts i only once managed to do things in such a order that the story wouldnt stop suddently and you werent able to finish the game, not to mention patches that made you restart each time.

So if we judge atmosphere over bugs then indeed ArmA cant be worser than Stalker ( especially clear sky ) or lets say Gothic so i dont get why it deserves such a sales killing rating.

My eyes are bleeding :(. How can they release driving AI in this state? Was it impossible for BIS to see this themself, or are we the only one?

This problem is just with script placed buildings in warfare, we are working on fix.

Two videos I made :)

Night fighting would have looked much better with some continous illumination going on instead of those way to convenient NVGs ;) But I loved the atmosphere.

Yeah I want that mod from arma 1 that takes off the black area in 3rd person while wearing nv's.. and expands the view a bit or removes the goggle surround alltogether, u dont really have that sense of goggle area when using them as your eyes adjust and its like seeing the full Fov anyhow.

Indeed these videos proves why I might love this game.

Hi all

Just spotted this one

1000 AI battle at night, without NV googles!

Phwoor!

Watch in HD!

There are bits in it that were redolent of the Omaha Beach scene in Saving Private Ryan.

That has got to be the best video of ArmA II to date!

Heck I think it may be the best game video I have ever seen.

Awesome :eek:

Im of to Chernarus to try this out right now hihihi :p

[HotShot 0]

Wow, awesome. But at 4:32, what is that thing which crash lands? Very UFO-like.

That battle reminds me of War of the Worlds.

Vikhr from a ka-52 I think. They did similar things in ArmA sometimes.

EDIT: Similar video:

probably want to turn down sound again. Edited June 8, 2009 by Jakerod

Woah! best vid yet indeed, that looks fantastic

[Comm512 10]

I see and hear many cool things (like the gfx, textures, atmo, lighting, day cycle, shadows) in all the video's and some not so (like speech and collision/destruction physics)

Nonetheless i think BI did an awesome job on this game/sim

But one thing to me that is real weird is the gun smoke puff that comes with every bullet. I dont know exactly but i have not seen this IRL on any gun to be hold by humans.

I would say to remove that smoke puff feature, because it fogs up the vision of the scoped in user.

What are your thoughts on this?

Good to know that fix is on the way.

btw. Can you give us some details about the next patch. Will the performance be improved perhaps. :)

Heh, and when you know that this awesomness got only 66% by Gamestar..

So unfair and even disgusting.

Despite its numerous bugs, No game can deliver what ArmA II offers so far.

We expect big patch around 19.6-20.6. There will be also lot of fixes in data so it will be bigger. We are now working on ai driving/ moving problems, but there will be also lot of campaign and multiplayer fixes and some iprovements in ai generaly. Not sure if all of that fixes/improvements will fit this patch, I hope so. If not, it will be in next one for sure. Every deep change must be also tested and it need some time. Its labor pains of most complex war simulator ever made, i hope they will be short.

[NoRailgunner 0]

Good to hear!

Will there be new logics for those two radar buildings?

[EricM 0]

Do you know what version will be 505 release vs the next patch ?
