ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead discussion thread

One question, I read somewhere that there is an entirely new lighting/shading system for the new, re-vamped engine in Operation Arrowhead. Can anybody shed sone light on this? No pun intended. :p

Camera shaking was indeed mentioned as an improvement in the FAQ, it just wasn't made clear exactly when and how it will occur.

As I recall there was a similar camera shake back in one of the Arma2 preview videos, when a russian T-72 fired its cannon. In that case it turned out that such an effect isn't actually present in the game. It was just done manually for the video.

This time it may be different, but I guess we won't find out until either a dev elaborates on it, or the game is released. :)

@BIS Devs: We know you're reading this thread. Tell us! :p

Well i guess all i can do is hope !!

The Dev's must have a right laugh with thier forums, seeing how we react towards the tinest sneak preview lol i wish i could do that lol

Seriously nice video, wish there'd been a bit more of the blatant vehicle porn and unit porn that was in the Alliance deployment trailer, but the explosions made up for it. ;)

Wish it had been the Brits though, I'm really hoping they end up being one of the reveals that BIS does between now and the release date... Crossing my fingers and toes for them to be in the main release, I don't want to have to wait for them! :D

+1

Besides any AI improvements this is the one I'm most curious about as well, looking at some screenshots at night it looks great!

nice trailer.

but still does not top the CHDKZ intro trailer ;)

regarding the camera shake. i would not put too much faith in that being in game as that was a "cinematic" trailer, so extra effects, dramatic camera angles and the like will distort the perception of actual gameplay

HOWEVER, in the wiki info release i do seem to remember in the new section something about new camera affects like shaking and such.

Yup. Sure looked like it.

Nice video, when do we get another :p

Definately not meaning to jump on your toes here.

BUT <--( i see an infraction coming) a while back cant remember what version number it was at the time, You could take a few stanag mags to the main barrel of the m1 or t-72 and it would do some serious damage. It is/was only a bug.

You don't, no worries about my toes. :)

I see no reason for an infraction here, neither for the 'BUT' and surely not for posting your opinion. We might have an evil dictatorship here, but it ain't that evil.

It was for sure like that in ArmA1, I can't remember that in ArmA2. Maybe in the very early versions.

Any words about demo before full game release?

My last info about this is that they are on it.

To the rest:

I know you're as excited as I am but please, refrain from spamming this thread even more with nonsense like "xx days left", "can't wait" and so on. We know it's xx days left and we know you can't wait but posting this doesn't change anything. :)

Main tank of the Takistanis? Rusty T-72 I presume. Everyone has a T-72 these days. :D

No Czech accent, no way. ;)

[roberthammer 582]

Nice trailer and NOW give me the game :mad: :p

[KeyCat 131]

Improved vehicle simulation (damage model, physics, countermeasures, top down radars, warning systems, helmet-mounted displays)

Just checked the OA FAQ and great to see that the old 360 degree radar is history as well - awesome work BIS, waiting patiently for my pre-order to arrive!

Nice video, but it's look like Takistanis will be whipping boys.

Awesome video, this video is about Takistan army, but I am impressed by the map (and it seems that most of buildings are open), is beautiful, good job BIS!
