Fudgeblood 10 Posted October 1, 2009 1. Yes, there a few bugs (for me atleast) and AI is fine. Performance is still abit bad but my CPU isn't exactly top notch. 2. I believe they've fixed alot of issues, can't confirm this myself though. 3. There's a "Will my PC run this?" thread stickied, you're best off asking there.

Relemar 10 Posted October 1, 2009 Why dont you go play the demo instead of asking here? if youve played it, and dont like it, dont buy it, if you do then buy it.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyline On Fire 10 Posted October 1, 2009 ARMA2 Demo Links - http://www.arma2.com/arma-2-demo_en.html Your PC will run it fine. Download that and judge wether you want it or not yourself, we cant tell you. I personally have no glitches or bugs, its ran perfectly since day 1, finished campaign with no issues too.

krycek 349 Posted October 1, 2009 AI is still retarded at driving and AI choppers are still in love with the trees especially when attacking or landing.AI pilots should be fired,they don't give a shit they're breaking expensive toys.:icon_ohmygod: Infantry AI didn't bother me that much so I guess it's ok(for me). Can't tell you about campaign,I still didn't start that because editor takes all my time and let's hope we can talk about AI improvements when we reach 1.06.

Fudgeblood 10 Posted October 1, 2009 Why dont you go play the demo instead of asking here? if youve played it, and dont like it, dont buy it, if you do then buy it.. The demo is unpatched, this guy is asking about the campaign, bugs and perf, which you can't completely judge via the demo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bulldogs 10 Posted October 2, 2009 Don't board an AI chopper and you should be fine... seriously though, don't board the chopper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kayjay 10 Posted October 7, 2009 okay thanks for helping out guys. one hopefully final question ARMA 2 now or OPERATION ARROWHEAD? or should i buy both? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no use for a name 0 Posted October 7, 2009 I'd say both...the original game will keep you busy until they release OA which probably won't be until early next year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AAD10 Pete 10 Posted October 7, 2009 Me too. You will have a lot of fun with the actual arma2 upon OA is appearing. Or first, try out the Arma2 Demo to make sure you won't get major system problems with the game... Generally it works fine but a few people have huge problems running the game.

Gruntcrazy 10 Posted October 7, 2009 I tryed the demo it has about the graphics of Oblivion which, i find incredible for the amount of objects on-screen. So far the only problem you can have is if you suck at flying the helicopter. (me sadly) im temped to buy the game after i get my 360 controller set up on the game....woot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InFireBaptize 0 Posted October 7, 2009 almost all people here have played arma1 and know about those bugs and don't bother because they'll get fixed, the scale of complexity this game offers is beyond belief and override those bugs. When i first leaned about arma1 and played it online with a clan the first day i played it my mouth jaw dropped. IMHO i think this game is more enjoyable when you play with mature organized group of people, it took me away from family and friend for a whilte! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
