shizdan 10 Posted June 30, 2009 I tried the demo and it was great. A little buggy and some choppiness but overall it was alright. Should I get this game? -How's the Gaming community? -Are most of the bugs going to be fixed? -Any improvements in game performance from demo? -Will there be any patches that improve performance as well as ATI drivers?

jakerod 254 Posted June 30, 2009 The community is great. They will release a lot of great mods and missions. BI is very good about releasing patches and fixing bugs. Haven't played either yet. Need to get my internet fixed so I can download the demo in less than 2 days without it cutting out every 5 minutes... this is all of course while waiting for my game to ship. I say a good test of a game is how long you can play it for. I played the OFP demo (the first [big] game released by BI for over 3 months while I anxiously awaited christmas (I was 12 or 13 and had no means of income) and the demo was only one mission. I hope so since I have an ATI card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njmatrix 2 Posted June 30, 2009 I honestly would wait. Don't do like I did and rush out and get it to just get so damn frustrated you tear it off your system. I did that with ArmA and because of it I have a bad taste for ArmA and ArmA2. Even though 115 patch cleared a Ton of problems I was having it is still a chore for me to try and enjoy AA or AA2. I can drop into OFP or VBS1 and have a blast but not the others. Games should be about having fun and I have had a few sessions that were ok in the fun dept but not enough to get me past that initial year of not being able to enjoy the game. Like I said I would wait til they get at least 5 or 6 patches deep. They never do anything huge in a patch right off and fix like 1 thing at a time in each patch it seems.

abs 2 Posted June 30, 2009 I bought ArmA just for the modmaking aspect of it. In the couple of years that I've had it, I've never played past the first mission in the campaign, and I barely joined any MP games. In ARMA2, I want to spend all my time in it. I can't wait to get home from work, just because of...well, everything about the game. I love it. I feel like I'm playing what should rightfully be OFP2, because that old OFP feeling is back for me.

Beltfed 0 Posted June 30, 2009 Game has been damn close to perfect for me so far. Amazing how many units you can play as in this. I haven't run into bugs but I hear there are some. Runs very smooth on my AMD quad 9500 with 9800 GT card in 1980x1020 res on very high settings. Only things I don't like are the silly voice acting sometimes and how often and easily I get killed (actually I do like the realism and difficulty so scratch that).

JDNA_reggie 10 Posted June 30, 2009 Complete noob to the series...and I say yes. I don't know my ass from my elbow about this game even though I've put 12+ hours in over the weekend, and I still say yes. It may be a bit buggy, but so is every other pc game ever released, and none have the sheer magnitude or ambition that this game does. The editors are friggin awesome. I can make it play however I want to play it for myself and my friends without being a rocket scientist, or a programmer. Pretty sweet. Buy it, and with some patience, you won't be disappointed.

Kleer 10 Posted June 30, 2009 This Game Is AWESOME! I would SERIOUSLY recommend buying ArmA2, wonderfull, most of the gaming community is quite mature, so one can have alot of fun. Imagine being inserted about a klick from the city parimeter with a squad of about 7, moving in and fighting, screaming "NOO!!!" As your buddy dies in the combat, and then after some more personell insertions, one task remains. The APC, getting a anti-tank person to take it out? How about a jet bombing? Or helicopter missiles? A rich diversity of possibilties lie within this game. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
