    In an article written by BIS it was stated that the island had two types of land,the south being something I forgot and the north being European.

    They could also be using a small portion for testing and whatnot,like desert island.

    I think the phsyics are WIP,but its rather nice to see the vehicle flips when it is thrown up in the air,not simply stays as it is when destroyed. Also nice to see the several locations for fire,I'm not expecting something fancy like say if a helicopter is flipped,whe its rotors hit the ground (depending on type) they become a bit smashed. Nor would I be expecting civilian cars hoods or bodys to become smashed when they are hit.

    Your url for some reason isn't working,I get an incomplete rar file. However I have seen the video's before. In terms of solving the satchel issue..well its not really solvable,a humvee with a large amount of explosives would go flying a bit of ways,the only way to stop that would be for it to explode and by that I mean break apart,parts go everywhere and all that,but I don't think thats possible,maybe with community work it will be possible.

    In terms of physics we mostly need to worry about movement in buildings and on vehicles which is taken care of,things will feel more "solid",It's somewhat hard to say..but I'm sure you know what I mean when I say most everything in OFP felt like paper.

    I would be willing to bet that the demo that appeared at E3 was a month or two old,I doubt it was new really,somehow,judging by the timeline of things released in Armed Assault,it just doesn't add up.

    It takes practice and that is a rather good thing,everyone wants everyone simplified too much,like the whining about the command menu being user unfriendly,it just takes practice and you'll get it down in a heart beat,provided your not lazy enough to click 3 buttons and just whine because you have to use your brain to use it. (not talking about anyone in particular)

    The question is,if the suprise is not related to Armed Assault,then what could it be that would cause the community to be 'suprised'?

    Something relating to Game2? A competition to win a visit and tour of the BIS offices? A new BIS website? Announcement that BIS has been bought out by EA? tounge2.gif

    Bought out by EA? Argh no don't you joke like that crazy_o.gif

    True,it would be rather silly to release a patch for a 5 year old game unless it changed the way the engine worked to make it more like Armed Assault,but then that would be a screw up because then most wouldn't want to buy Armed Assault,not to mention the file would be fairly large and I'm not sure if thats even possible with a patch.

    The question is,if the suprise is not related to Armed Assault,then what could it be that would cause the community to be 'suprised'? To be honest I'm moreso curious as ever,I'm usually a (HOLY CRAP MY COMMA KEY WORKS...and so does my shift key apparently) easy goin lad- person,I take what I get and I don't whine and cry if it wasn't something I was hoping for,whining and cryin don't get ya nothin right folks? Unless your a child with a whiny vocie and your parents just want you to be quiet.

    Nice attitude ya got there. Unlike you I am not a hardcore FPS fan,I do not flock tot he next game that has the prettiest graphics,I do not insult others because they do not have equipment to run such things either,and this thread is not titled "crysis vs AA" so why don't you just drop the subject already.

    It was? I wouldnt know because I didnt get or even know about OFP until around 2003,Im sure the patch came out long before then,but from what I saw on the patch area of ofp.info,it had beta 1.96 and then the actual 1.96 released after. (damn I am missing my comma key now)

  9. Posted

    That would be quite unexpected but why a patch,what would it do? rofl.gif

    OFP:E on PC would be pointless,yes,as it stands,Armed Assault was to be OFP:E on PC but apparently in the time of unable to find a publisher,BIS decided to mess with it more and thats what they have done,as per graphics,the first images of Game2 show more vegetation and things of that nature,Ill grab some..(my comma key hates me here,it brings up the "search")

    Thank you Chipper,glad I could help with that a bit.

    I'm also believing that we will probably see some more vehicles featured in the Game2 pics,perhaps the LAV as well,afterall,why would the Stryker and AH-1Z be the only marine vehicles there?

    And for those of you wondering what I meant by the Blackhawk render looking like the mid/late 2005 one,this is what I mean.

    26. 9. 2005 A batch of Armed Assault images are released,very early,when Armed Assault was (atleast noticeable to us) just starting to upgrade past OFP:E.

    http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/2042/aashot45oc.jpg Note the blackhawk and especially note the soldier,normal maps match with above images from game2 and OFP:E.

    2. 12. 2005 More images of Armed Assault are released showing massive landscape,new T-72,and oil derrecks,now look at the soldier in one of the screenshots. http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/165/armaprogress073or.jpg

    ttp://img480.imageshack.us/img480/8432/anniversaryreleasearma067ng.jpg

    8. 2. 2006 Two more images of Armed Assault are released,showing a hint of normal mapping,a blackhawk in a city and a T-72 with obvious normal maps. http://img476.imageshack.us/img476/2125/aashot526yp.jpg

    11. 2. 2006 Three more Armed Assault images are released,mostly showing the UH-60,now look carefully.

    http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/4413/armans13kw.jpg

    13. 2. 2006 Several Armed Assault images are released with a Czech interview. Two of which will be shown.

    http://img482.imageshack.us/img482/4841/aramatiscal35vy.jpg Note the OFP:E West Officer.

    http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/4150/aramatiscal57bk.jpg Enterable building.

    3. 3. 2006 OFP.info gets a review and more Armed Assault images are released. Various images are shown and one sets off the community,I believe we all recall this one. http://img486.imageshack.us/img486/5862/armaprogress112mx.jpg

    http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/4532/ofpinfoshot022nu.jpg Also note the blackhawk.

    6. 3. 2006 Images shown interview are allegedly stated as being outdated by atleast 3 months. http://img465.imageshack.us/img465/4861/image0xs.jpg

    20. 4. 2006, 11:49:46 William Porters blog is updated,showing a few images.

    http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/1145/wpblog26yd.jpg And the civilian vehicles we have seen in no other image (or have we?) And the shadows as well.

    20. 4. 2006, 16:48:43 Gamesradar appears with even more images.

    25. 4. 2006, 15:27:55 "Donkey" Releases a google earth image of Sahrani in the William porter blog forum thingy,no leads are given as to its coordinates so naturally nobody else can find it.

    27. 4. 2006 The Fisherman sends a video showing footage of Armed Assault from a Czech TV station,TopGames.

    12. 5. 2006 Armed Assault E3 Trailer is released.

    14. 5. 2006 WWIIEC presents a review on the demo with images as well. http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/8773/armae3wwiiec46tn.jpg Aside from weapon,the soldier looks eXACTLY like OFP:E's

    15. 5. 2006 Loaded Inc's website talks about Armed Assault and releases images of the E3 demo,one screenshot most notable because of its OFP:E type loading screen.

    17. 5. 2006 A video featuring an interview with Victor Bocan and very early Armed Assault footage (at the end) is released. http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=9886

    20. 5. 2006 Magnumland releases images from Armed Assault Demo.

    Two of which showing the M1A1 with the 50cal,though apparently bugged.

    15. 6. 2006 Armed Assault renders are released showing no signs of normal maps on the renders,quite odd for a "Render".

    Other things------------------

    April 28th, 2006 William Porter gets his new Camera and takes iimages of a convoy going through a small base and of some blackhawks,normal maps evident.

    http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/1695/037gy.jpg

    May 2nd, 2006 William Porter takes down images because the "base commander" told him to.

    May 16th, 2006 Will goes on Drill

    June 8th, 2006 Frank appears in charge of Williams blog.

    So no,tings don't add up and that is why I do not judge the WIP because I know its WIP and I also know it is not the real thing.

    I'v also stated this before but there was an Armed Assault image that oddly showed soft shadows on everything.

    And tell me,is Crysis a console game or computer game? If its computer then its quite obvious that not everyone is going to be able to run it with all of what it shows,if its a console then thres your answer right there.

  11. Posted

    Ladies and gentlement of the jury of Crysis vs OFP,please take a moment and think out what you say before you say it.

    Armed Assault does not have top of the line graphics such as Crisis because BIS does not mainly go for graphics,sorry that all you kiddies out there won't get to have your super glassy reflectant metal,sorry that you won't get your water to be uber pretty and such. I am honestly starting to wonder,BIS is not for graphics so please just drop it already,if you want to compare AA to Cryisis then feel free to compare every single game that has a gun out there to it,do you do that? No? Do you usually compliment BIS on what their doing? No. "I can't believe this is the status" I can't believe your such a blind fool. You people say AA looks like Flashpoint,well you have obviously been playing with the modifications too long,you need to go back to how OFP originally was and you'll see just how foolish your statement was.

    Those of you that complain about graphics..well..lets see...Alright lets take the general vacinity of the movement areas of these largerly graphicated games and compare then think of how they would be in a enviroment such as AA...I see nothing but the top of the line PC's running it then. So just remember,more graphics,less gameplay,and any true OFP'er would be more than willing to sacrifice graphics over gameplay.

    If you are honestly worried about graphics then you would be quiet until you see the final product,not to mention what the community could do,I mean hell look at what they have done,broken so many limitations of OFP that we thought were impossible,but they did it just the same. Games are made for different purposes,Crysis being your usual FPS. If you try to run up to a guy shooting at you in flashpoint and stand right infront of him,your gonna die.

    In terms of physics,we have heard of improved physics but seen nothing,the only people that have a slight idea would possible be the OFP:E players,and I'v said it once and I'll say it again,physics has improved,objects can be knocked over and rolled around,take a fuel barrel for instance. If you shoot it just right you can make it fall over and it might start rolling around. Use a vehicle and drive slowly with it,the barrel will roll with your vehicle or if there is a slight tilt,the barrel will roll away.

    So no,AA opens more doors then you see,you are just too blind to see them at the present time,you are thinking merely about what you see,you are not thinking about what runs behind it,what lies in the future,none of that,think of the addons that will come out now,with OFP:E's upgrades and some of Game2's,it is almost like a new game.

    Bottom line,if your wanting the best graphics such as Crysis,your in the wrong place,if you want Crisis graphics,go play Cyisis.

    For those of you that think development status is slow,its not,BIS is just hiding stuff,afterall,what did happened to the amount of say..50% that they didnt show us? And what about game2? After analyzing the infantry models of game2,I found them to be exact matches of OFP:E and early Armed Assault,and yet we have heard nothing on other than a short video clip or two which showed a quick 2-5 second walk in the forest and a helicoper flying as well as some rocks on the beach and others. There is aLOT of evidence to support that the alleged OFP2 images were not Codemasters but Bohemia's,so where is this and why do I make these accusations?

    Heres a slight off topic part but it helps to prove my point.

    http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/4660/017gd.jpg

    http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/9816/armaavid75dz.jpg

    http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/637/armademo59ao.jpg

    These three images show the Armed Assault humvee,or one of them.

    Now heres Game2.

    http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/8336/91462320050519screen0165na.jpg

    http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/1292/91462320050519screen0260jr.jpg

    http://img463.imageshack.us/img463/6065/91462320050519screen0436sk.jpg

    Game2's humvee,notice a similiarity?

    Now Armed Assault was simply supposed to be OFP:E for PC,why do I think this? Because after OFP:E's release,there were images released of Armed Assault which looked closely related to OFP:E.

    Now look carefully.

    http://img453.imageshack.us/img453/8417/aa26aj.jpg

    Could this simply be OFP:E? If thats the case,where is that OH-6 ingame? Now look here.

    http://img453.imageshack.us/img453/8381/91462320050519screen0099km.jpg Notice something a bit off about these images? If not I'll point out some things.

    for one,look at the bag on on the soldiers pants,notice how they are on both models? Now look at the animation,where the main hand components are,notice how,other than the fingers,they are exactly the same? Both are in the same pose in both images infact. Now look at the helmet,They look very close,other than the Game 2 one being a bit more round and somewhat flat. And not only that but if you look at the normal maps on the legs,you can see they are EXACTLY the same.

    So Game2 was made all the way up there and the only time we heard about it was sometime last year along with Armed Assault,we have also seen a few 15 seconds or so of footage of Game2,the soldier in one of the video's being bulkier than the ones shown in the images. So the question is,If BIS has Game2 then why did they work on Armed Assault in the first place? Because Game2 was made to be more like a more realistic infantry sim,you can piss off AI soldiers and whatnot,however with this,would they not have more than What they show? Definatly. Think back to the renders,we have seen quite a few vehicles,featuring normal maps at that,and yet the renders released were less than what we saw,and they didn't feature normal maps either,the blackhawk looked like the one that was shown in late 2005. Now think back to the images such as the ones that brought up the big "shine" issue,they were then stated to be dated atleast 3 months back. So is BIS hiding stuff from us? I think so,Why woul they do that? To suprise us perhaps?

    All I'm saying is don't judge what you see,as it may be months old,and its all still WIP,but theres more going on here than we think apparently.

    Do not be so quick as to judge,and always remember its WIP.

    The Possibility for a weapons co-ordinator in a jet to drop a bomb and using realistic targetting sites, laser guide it onto a target being marked using IR or similar methods smile_o.gif

    that would be great..almost like bf2 yay.gif

    Nah bf2 just has the see through gray alpha channel with some static and movement,you can't really see through clouds or anything,if anything when you look up at the clouds you will blinded,and night vision in the special forces helicopters was just plain useless,worse than the foot soldiers night vision,which would either not help because area was too dark,or would blind you because the slightest light reflected off a metal object.

    It was I guess failed attempt at FLIR,TSS which is what the AH-1Z uses,well basicly that would be FLIR,showing hot objects in white and dark in black,or you can reverse them,and what is shown definatly isn't FLIR.

    yeah i had to upgrade the other day in anticipation for Armed Assault.

    how so?

    You can't play games with bump maps and high resolution textures and high poly models on a pentium 1 processor with a 16meg video card.

    Indeed,palm tree trunks are very tough,almost like oak but not quite,the trunk does not sway,I once lived in Hawaii and used to see em alot,I also had the misofortune of seeing them during a hurricane while being the hurricane,boy was that fun..5 years old,sitting by a TV and watching my aladin videos while a hurricane rages outside,and winds that those things carry can pretty much bend anything except the stronger of all trees.

    2-3FPS with full settings? everyone gets that with OFP aswell tounge2.gif

    Tis simple,just don't turn the terrian up on ultra high rofl.gif

    Though it does give the terrain a new look...you can however do it with the lowest visibility,but whats more worth it? Visual distance or Visual terrain? I take distance.

    I'm not whining about the release date, and only a very few people are. And the delay is not caused by anybody whining about anything, it's because they don't have a publisher.

    I never gave specific names but I have seen it,all I'm saying is with what they have done,it wouldn't hurt to let the compass be as it is until a community member modifies it.

  20. Posted

    a compass is a compass,if the community doesn't like it,then they will be able to modify it like we'v already done,its not that big of an issue,the more we try to press on BIS to change things,the longer things will take,you people sit there whining about a release date and yet you keep being picky about things.

  21. Posted

    Oh yeah sure less effort for us,why not,you just really made that sound bad for us,a compass is a compass ffs,it has mainly north,south,east and west,it may also have the cardinal or whatever directions you call em,all you do is use it to find your berrings,use that and your map and your set. Its not hard to read a compass and because it probably won't be used too much why make it uber pretty? All you need it for is to show you simple directions,thats good enough for me.

    hum.. icon_rolleyes.gif

    Placebo can you confirm or denie, plz?

    I think this was the special,if ya ask me its special enough,you have to keep an eye out for the details,look at everything closely and see what there is,some are obvious,others aren't.

    The structure in the first image appears enetrable,shadows are also smooth and even appear on the glass,possible slight reflection on glass as well. Anti Alaising is also displayed in this image.

    Image two shows the HDR and normal mapping on the hangars,possibly walking animation and the sexiest AH-1 texture I'v seen yet,hell the model is great,I'm glad they didn't make the TSS round like others have done And possibe reflections on the helicopters cockpit glass,note the blue hue.

    The rest I leave for you to find.

    Magnum..hm...I would tend to believe him,he received a beta and probably has been told some things,but damnit now I'm gonna need a new set of pants if this wasn't the suprise >< you guys are going to have me crying over the beauty of the game and I don't cry,argh. Oooooh corpse..
