Dragon Rising has been released

[eble 3]

I honestly don't think we ArmA fans should be pointing the finger at sub-optimal physics.

I play both games, just made me laugh with all the Arma2 hating movies when it was released with bugs.

Trust me OFP-DR is full of them, I've got many many more movies to go up.

You can't shoot thru open helicopters.... you hit an invis wall.

I put a Ah6 on the airfield with an AI PLA the other side, you can see him as clear as day yet try to shoot him and you hit the invis model.

the AH6 can somersault forward or backward at zero speed and only drop 200m

all heicopters at do 360 degree truns at maximum speed, I've actually got quite good at doing a 180 and keep most of the speed on.

all light and heavy armour ground vehicles will go airborne after hitting the smallest rock, as seen the smalled bush can destroy a M1A1 in one attempt at 20m.

I've only just scratched the surface.

DR is built on top of a racing engine. Doesn't matter the games are arcades, the physics are still there.

Therefore, in all of the areas I expected Codemasters not to mess up, driving was very high up on the list.

Speaking of vehicles.

I remember the great damage system they told us about. Hell, you can't even burst the tires. You already had that comfort with Resistance.

You also seem to fail to grasp that the longevity of A2 is not solely in it's multiplayer game, especially with the vast amount of user made content that is created for the game on an almost daily basis. Of course if you really want to see a game brought to its knees on the basis of multiplayer alone, then I am afraid with no cd-key, no anti cheat system and a P2P network technology powering it, OFPDR will be dead within the next couple of months.

Space can I just ask you just what exactly is your point to being on these forums? Your post count stands at 72, 71 posts of which have been in this and the previously closed OFPDR threads and simply used to bash A2 at every given opportunity. If you hate A2 so much and love OFPDR as much as you seem to can I just ask why you are here and not spreading your love for the game over at the CM forums? It seems a little idiotic to say the least, unless of course you are working for CM in some capacity. Every post you have made has just been a thinly veiled attempt to undermine A2...why waste your time and everybody else's here when your posting on the actual BIS community forums?

That was when i just spent 50$ and trying to justify it.. Look at the numbers arma2 =dead... more people play bf2!

Wow more people play a mainstream game. Incredible argument.

ArmA2 won't die anytime soon. Not in the coming 5 years at least.

well, i don't know why you guys keep comparing OFP DR with Arma 2 , it should be compared with Arma 1 since DR is the "secuel" of OFP and Arma 2 is the secuel of Arma 1, two games ahead.

I can see about 45 Aussie servers from where I'm sitting and they have a quite a lot of people playing.

It's about gameplay not massive numbers, I like playing with about 50/60 online thats cool.

I don't need to look at a list of people playing a game to tell me it's good.

Come back in 2/3 years from now and arma2 servers will still be online, you might see some OFP-DR ones but that will be OFP-DR4/5/6 or whatever.

Seems the game encryption has just bee broken today lets see how long the first mod takes to come out.

Even better, why dont we compare it to OFP:CWC?

I prefer the title "Ghost Recon : Dragon Rising"

seems the MP master server just shat itself, this is one very good reason you don't make people log in to a master server to use P2P MP!

I suspect most reviews now the game is released will be a lot lower than those prior, simply fact people can actually play it now and see the magazines were flat out lying.

[W0lle 1050]

space

As said in my warning, this thread is about DR and not about how dead ArmA2 is (not).

And your xfire argument fails as much as DR, not everyone who plays ArmA2 is using xfire. It's anything but representative.

vilas

LOL good point indeed. I gonna change the guidelines now. ;)

....... But we don't buy those games for the campaign, do we ?.............

I said that *I* do buy them for the campaign, not everybody enjoys online.

[Zipper5 74]

It took me a total of 8 bullets with my SCAR to destroy the helicopter's rotor and cause it to crash and explode. EIGHT bullets...

[GRS 10]

I gotta test this out now. It reminds me of the old Stunts car game where if you could get up enough speed your car would lift off and fly for up to 5 mins.

Try putting them on "danger" mode when you get in combat. That usually gets rid of their suicidal tendancies.

Putting them in danger mode also makes them take 3 years to do simple task like... cross a road... It's the lesser of two evils.

This thread needs a bunch of this:

[sic-disaster 311]

I prefer the title "Ghost Recon : Dragon Rising"

I would prefer you not associate Ghost Recon with that craptastic piece of shit called Dragon Rising.

Back in the day when the franchise was not taken over by Ubisoft, Ghost Recon was one of the most hardcore tactical shooters available.

Ubisoft changed that with Advanced Warfighter series, which were nothing like the original. The exact same shit Ubi did to my beloved Rainbow Six series.

Hell, fire up Ghost Recon (original!) right now and prepare to get your ass handed to you by the AI, which is lightyears ahead of most games today.

Instead, call it BattleField: Dragon Rising.

Where is it?

thats because they are doing what danger means to be, "danger"

what would you expect people to react when telling them its "danger" out there? dance?

I picked up a copy yesterday an its not that bad or good. I wasn't really expecting a lot from Codemaster's. From the trailers an pix ive seen. I got what I thought would play like a BF2 game. My 8 yr old son might like this OF:DR but its not my style of game play. The best thing i got from OF:DR was the plastic DVD case it came with I used it to put my ARMA Dvd's in since my orginal case got broken. So that alone was worth $40.00 bucks.

[Bulldogs 10]

Yup, when there's no danger around, put them in aware or safe mode.

Alright, it was a little harsh associating it with ghost recon, but I still play ghost recon original these days and flashpoint dr just reminds me of it, except for the ai, but I guess that's mainly because of the low detail makes it hard to spot enemies at a distance.
