OFP2 DR GOT NO CANCE against ARMA 2

[Oleg-Russia 10]

Hi, everyone , in this message i want to thank developers "Bohemia" for great game Arma 2 and tell something about this two games.

Yesterday i bought OFP2 DR in hope for a game wich will look cool and work as it should be.Afer playing it for 2 hours i`ve decided to bring it back to the shop and get my money back.And here i`m gonna tell you why.

We all know Arma 2 came with enormous amount of bugs, but still then game was great a simulator and on other side i was horrible to play wih all those bugs in the beginning.

When i heard about release of OFP2 DR i though it would be something between Arma 2 and COD,and it would be great simulator.

After i bought and installed OFP2 ,first feeling was good ,flash menu ,but after i started the game and have setted up everything on "HIGH: video settings i was amaized the game just doesn`t lag ,what Arma 2 does normaly.

But after playing for about 2 hours i found this game not as simulator but as a damn shooter.

Personally i`m a 3D Artist (some of my works:)

And i know how models and textures should looks like in games and what is the reachable level for it so game engine can handle it.

Well OFP2 DR model and textures are horrible. And if i compare it to Arma 2 i see the Bohemia Artists putted all their skills to the maximum to make this game as beauty as possible ,all kind of small details etc etc.

View distance in OFP2 DR got me shocked ,by so far i haven`t seen the game with such low view distance on highest settings, i could see not further then 1-1.5 km ,which in Arma 2 is noraly up to 10 km ,big difference :rolleyes:

Multiplayer of OFP2 su%$%&$cks.

What made me totaly crazy is that models of attack/transport choppers are looking more like a flying box ,and that you can shoot the out of the sky with just a rifle ,YES simple rifle and 1-2 ammo clips.

Flying heli with computer joystick?No way game even don`t understand what joystick is except XBOX360 joystick .

Game keyboard settings are horrible ,you don`t have that much control over player as in Arma 2,but OFP2 DR have excellent command squad menu ,they build it very smart way.

So here comes the quastion is OFP2 DR a simulators as COdemaser says, my answer is NO, the whole game simulation su%&*$#cks like no others, the REAL simulator is !!!ARMA 2!!! And the game graphics looks much better then OFP2 DR.

But however i found something nice in OFP2 DR ,campaing is nice.

Guns Muzzleflashes ,in arma 2 you can`t see them that good and they looks not cool and not that beautyfull.

Smoke in OFP2 s great ,looks just so cool ,cinematic smoke i mean then.

And morning/midday color saturation, good release quality game have no bugs at ll by so far, but i think have learned their mistake an will not release next time not good tested and ready for play game,so game doesn`t scare regular players ,Javlin shoots as it should be and not straight as in Arma 2,that`s it,all what i loved in OFP2 DR.

So actually we all know that OFP2 DR is also released on consoles .I thought the game was reeased andmeaned as main for PC and ported to consoles ,but know the whole OFP2 DR looks like have been ported from consoles to PC even if they build it on PC.

Conclusion OFP2 DR is no comparecy to ARMA 2 ,OFP2 DR will nt stand a minute against Arma 2.

And now for sure after Bohemia have released latest beta patch "ARMA2_Build_59323.zip" i get much more performence playing the game on High settings, so keep it up Bohemia .

And one request please adjust the way Javeling shoots mssiles ,as in reality , so missile doesn`t fly that straight ,and also if possible make some more nicer muzzleflashes.

In the end i want everyone to thank Bohemia for a GREAT game .

THANKS YOU BOHEMIA,keep up fixing the game we love it.And we all hope ARMA 3 will be a good quality poduct (if you plannig to make it :) ) .

P.S. Moderators do not delete this mesage plz, in this message i want to thank bohemia for a great game and give them a hint what way they shouldn`t choose.

Arma 2 wins this battle :)

Good luck , everyone :)
