Thanks , i'll google it. Meanwhile i will need to go to PC market in a few days and first check out if they have it or not.

Thats exactly what i'd like it to be. To be available in SP missions by BIS and hopefully be implemented in community created content. But i dont want this in the campaign feature it'll kill the whole realism appeal of OFP.

What i dont understand is , whats with all the Ghost Reconesque gameplay make over. I mean in OFP if we die , we die thats it. Spawning back in the next in rank guy will be a bit of a realism kill. The whole of point of playing carefully and planning your moves in OFP is that you DONT DIE otherwise gameover. This take on gameplay will however encourage gung-ho attitude as people will have many lives to expend. this wont be like GR's 3 man squad or 9 man total group ... its OFP we got 12 squads and who knows how many other friendly squads to spawn in too. I hope this feature is one which is optional , i dont mind playing such a mission once in a while but inside the campaign and structured mission no way. I dont want myself dying and then coming back from the dead in the other mission after having won the previous ones through someone elses shoes , that would be unreal ... literally .

Is there really a size difference in the PCi-E and AGP cards? my AGP card is pretty big , how bigger can the PCi-E one be?

Thanks for replying , i was totally in the dark on this issue never knew replacement heat sinks even existed for VGA cards. Any idea how much do they cost?

Yes but what about us who cant upgrade because they are waiting for the Dx10 cards . I intend on building my machine next year in proper. And if ArmA wont run on my current rig then ....

Ok so which processors are these with 64 bit processing? Also: Wtf?? Those Dells are probably sporting Nvidia based SLI setups with some uber 7800 or 7900 cards. And they are getting 20 FPS only??? I guess the rest of us with a 6600 series or lower are doomed

I see the PC running ArmA is a Dell XPS with a SLI setup. Is this PC like BIS/IDEA property or does Dell supply every booth with a PC of their own because of some contract they've got at E3 or something?

How much do you reckon gameplay can change in the MG series? After hearing about, and seeing Wii in action it's looking more and more like the console I'm going to go for... The PS3 is going to be rather absurdly high-priced IMO. And what's with the 100 dollar price difference between the 60 gig HD version and the 20 gig one? From the a gamespot blog: Oh but there's a "bargain" version for $500 right? Unfortunately Sony has sneakily removed big functionality from that version, like HDMI connection, Wi-Fi, and memory stick support, etc.

The only console which got my attention this time was the Wii. Sony lacked lustre and Microsoft's game usually end up on the PC as well so they werent all that alluring. Nintendos new remote and gameplay however are really interesting me right now , i was pretty indifferent to it before but now that i think about it , no other console is in my price range so not worth looking in to (600$ wtf and thats only console , new games and tv will add to the cost ... might as well get a kick ass PC). The Wii looks fun , a nice alternative from the usual PC gaming , with its swinging action based remote control.

I'd say they are wp's. One guy is just standing there near the hedge looks like a stop wp . I really like the atmosphere being generated by the update gfx's though. Cant wait for the real deal (vid @ E3 hopefully).

They are showing the Nintendo conference live on Gamespot right now. The new remote demonstration is being done and the guy playing with it looks like he'll tire out by all that excercise. I guess thats one way of making kids get off and away from the consoles , they cant play if they are tired . Anyone know of anyother website which has got live video streamin of E3 , Gamespot is too slow.

So whens BIS gonna show off their stuff?

And add more to the depth of the system requirements . Volumetric clouds will be very resource intensive. I'd like them too but if theres a way to switch them off it should be present too.

I'd rather be harsh with someone whos preaching something to others quite loudly and yet cant bother practising it himself , then to someone who doesnt profess to being the most civilized nation on earth.

I say get Jesper Kyd or Bill Brown to do the soundtracks. These guys are just awesome when it comes to simple instrumental themes. Jesper kyd has done many games but his best piece imo was with Freedom Fighters , those russian based orchestral and instrumentals were something else really. Bill Brown has done music for Quake and Rainbow six series and a few more games i think he's a good composer aswell. Also i hope sound quality is improved , most of the importance is given to graphics and sound is left in the dark. As this article states which is for MGS4 for PS3. i hope something similiar is done for ArmA or Game 2. Gamesport article link

We can change face textures in OFP so why not in ArmA? Besides theres a whole new head mod being made by llauma isnt there? I thought it was gonna be ported to ArmA as well.

Well, I'm just taking a wild stab in the dark here, but maybe they are being classified as enemy combatants because that really is what they are? Sometimes, anyway. Combatants who broke down to maybe who knows a simple drive to a local cuban mcdonalds (do they have one btw?) , and started regurgirating sugar coated pills of their fealty to the american nation .... wow we definitely need some more of those impressionable and guillable types in the AQ militia Way to spend the tax dollars , wasting time and effort in captivating minors .

Yeah interesting .... interesting as to why the hell are minors are being classified as enemy combatants . Big deal of they treated a bunch of kids alright , for most of us thats a given its not as if its some big favour the worlds been bestowed upon.

There are no dogs where i live either or anyother widllife so to speak , except for the stray city cats and birds. But then again citys shown in ArmA are rural based towns rather then a proper urbanized city. Still we got them butterfly's and birds should be enough but a wild dog which happens to spawn randomly on the map very rarely would be an awesome feature. Should scare the shit out of you if on a night mission your crawling around the enemys perimeter and some dog comes pouncing on you . Maybe enemy AI could also use them to pick up scents and stuff? Then hiding in bushes would be a problem too. Oh well addons and mission/scripts can make all that become a reality , no big deal if BIS doesnt do this.

A dableww teee eff is in order here .

I hope porter gets some night duty done too , i wanna see some nighttime shots .

So osama uses linux? No wonder hes so pissed off all the time , the guy cant play any games on that OS .

Are we still talking about the demo? I didnt see all those levels in my demo. The full game goes on shelves May 3 right?

Rise of Legends demo is out i tried it , it was ... wierd and crap imo. The graphics were all mixed up and i couldnt understand the story or anything either.
