what am i going to do when i get this game ? -- begin the downward spiral in the neglect of my education.

many applications use this protection. and no, it dosn't work.

i guess you get tons of people wanting to beta test. but yea, i enjoy beta testing so i'd be happy to do that as needed. i expect my clan would enjoy it too.

yea. some of our clan are ex mil. i didnt get the SF pack but ive seen/heard it. paying for "boosters" was a bummer for bf2. Its got some good mods like project reality but the ranking system means they wont get the community they deserve.

you never overdosed on the beans on toast ? :-) yea. keep us updated. love brits in games. esp is the voices dont go heavy on accents.

sounds really good. -- definatly look out for it. on a side note, the name sucks a bit. sounds like a fart.

bf2 is a fast action, arcade style game, poorly made by EA for the teenage market and features forcing you to pay for every little addon. armed assault is like Operation flashpoint. slower, tactical, realistic teamwork orientated warfare. if you like bunny hopping, nade spamming, or using blackhawks to hover over flags, play bf2. if your over 17, play armedassault.

i thought game 2 was 400km^2, and ArmA was 100km^2. but oh well.

and let's pray it only mirrors the size, and not its state :-) keep britan tidy ! -- bin an idiot.

i know gfx shouldnt count. but in reality, they do :-) how many times have you turned a game box over, seen that it looks like pac-man, and moved on ? i know i have, and many of the times i didnt, i wished i had. i was playing opf:res today and its fun and all (even with its faults), but if that hit the shelfs today, it'd get laughed at. anyhow. come on BIS ! you got a large base of players litrally biting at the bit to buy this game, i know of entire clans (including my own) waiting for this game to release. battlefield 2 is fading, and hell, we're **bored** ! i dont understand why BIS is playing it like this ? the public releations / advertising has been really really low level. Sometimes it seems like i want people to know of ArmA existance more than its makers do ;-/

i hope this game comes out soon. i dont know if BIS have some masterplan, but from the videos, the gfx and such looks quite dated even now. its ok if the game came out soon, but in anouther 6 months it'll look stupid ;-/

i dont think it'll detract form the gameplay to switch charectors. Once the half a second switch is done your back to the immersion again, so its no big deal. and it does work well in other games. really. it does.

i know we're humans and all, but the crazy slavery of our spikey friends HAS TO END NOW!!

maybe. but what im trying to say is, is shouldnt be a case of "wouldnt it be nice" but more a case of "why not?" all these features are just the baseline for a modern game, for a new game to be a good suprise it would need all of this, and a hell of a lot more.

what worrys me, is that the AA community seem to throw around these ideas like "wouldnt it be good to use TV guided missles" as if its some amazing feat, and games like battlefield 2 already have them, and had since day 1. yes, battlefield 2 sucks in many respects, but from now on, i'd expect any military game or sim to be upto that level on features. laser designation, tv guided weapons, reactive armor, EMC, entrenchments and proximity warheads. these things i'd take for granted in any modern game. using chat to state where units/threats are.... are you joking ? maybe for OFP1, but AA and OFP2?, that would be a sorry state of affairs. i want to pull out a spade and set up a foxhole, call in airstrikes, and such.

whats the lead time like on publishing a game ? -- if they signed a deal tommorow, how long would it take to hit the shelf (assuming it hits a shelf and not a "buy now" download button). btw: thx. its about time i registered here. been lurking in the shadows long enough. :-)

well, i know many MoFo clan are most likely going to move to AA from BF2 once its out, and you know we'll cover your 6. Looking forward to some 16AA/MoFo joint ass kickery.
