Some screens on those journals taken from VBS! What they think they are doing? Fooling the community? After BIS screwed up (lied - LIED) with release date , for now i only wish to know: when. I dont care: what, why, how .. only WHEN?!

Well well well ... everything as i suspected in my nightmare! 1. H1 - Thank you BIS, community appreciates this ! 2. EXPLOODING tanks (bobooomm) - real war simulator .. kche kche! 3. 60 player servers ... that is GOOD one even now you can find 120 player servers on gamespy. ahahah ... i try to imagine the lag ... and crash ... pshhh ... when selecting 60player server there will be a note ("Only for freon cooled workstations with direct SAT connection") Anyways it is hard to judge by screens, we need videos, after that we can say something. And what bout those wave ant terrain bumpmapping? Looks . Hope they will fix that. Anyways H1 fellas H1!!!! My GOD! H1 ... i cant believe ... 6 moths ... pffff ... i will forget bout arma till that ... So i will just close this page and EDIT ... and why the hell bis thinks that community needs HUGE islands ... we need realistic gameplay, not huge islands (everon was OK)! Make smaller islands, but better AI and please PLEASE I BEG YOU ... update vehicle coalision! My GOD .. exploding tanks ... feee ... i cant sleep now.

Dont worry, when ARMA ll come out i am sure after few weeks yu will be able to play CRCTI on arma: http://cr-arma.dyndns.org/

I support TIR idea! Somebody mentioned that the fly choppers/planes using 3rd, but on most goood servers 3rd is switched off. And what do you think about chopper cannon reacting to your head movements without Ai support (in reality it does so) ... that would be the number 1 killa machine But i dunno about about using TIR when you r infantry .. erm. When playing on MP i change my sittin position 30 times on one game (cti), i move, i scratch my head, drink a tea... wont be that TIR complicated? But i think that switch off/on button should solve all the problems ...

What do you mean ? I mean ... i i were newbie i definately would click on ECL URL and would find out that that ECL is nothing more than C&H, CTF, 2v2 ( ) ... wich we can find on Quakes, BFs ... and other kindergarten, holywood style, stinky crap ... I think that if we have to show what OFP (arma) can offer online after finishin SP, then lets show everything ... not just silly C&H style online events...

Arma will be better than OPFR itself so how can it not be the greatest game ever? That really made no sense here, sry.. and im not prepared to wait has long has it takes neither, i will wait but i dont want to, it kind of feels we should be all playing ARMA already . Arghh the pain!! ?! My two cents ... will explain how i imagine recoliutions and evolutions ... Example ... revolution ... and hop ... we have got socialism ... once again revolution .. and hop we have got democracy ... revolution .. hop .. and we are back at dictatorship. So ... revolution was HL1 ... wooow ... big science labs with crazy stuff going around ... revolution .. OFP wooo ... real war sim ... do what you want, use what you want ... and arma, in my opinion, as upcoming game 2 is evolutionary product as HL2 ... idea is already been released to masses by BIstudio on 2001 March (OFP Demo) ... now we only tweak it a bit ...

This forum is not for advertising any ladders! It is for discussion about upcoming arma and a little bit of speculation. If players will wish to get boored of the game in two weeks they will definately join ECL with its stupid CTF and C&H. So if advertise OFP ladders, then advertise all of em ... so upcoming players will know how rich OFP community is (ECL, CTITC, MFCTI ladders and so on...). Now the newbies after reading your message will think that OFP is the same as BF crap... run shoot, run shoot and nothing else ...

Repeatedly making negative comments is tantamount to trolling, if you no longer are capable of saying anything remotely positive please refrain from posting. but he can say his public opinion, can't he? [it's a publicforum] i think it's like a censor. Raptor You're welcome to search his posts over the last couple of months to see where I'm coming from. Making your opinion known once or twice on similar issues is fine, repeatedly beating the forum with your opinion of sorrow and woe and angst is not fine. Your Evil @!"¤Å@€Å$!!! Ban me if you want thats anyway best you can do on this forums... If we cannot say our opinions! Yes i know this is your forum but anyway you have to realise that very very small mount of people is playing OFP! Its over OFP is DEAD and if Armed Assault or what ever you will call it will have only a some freaking update than i can say you have failed! And those people who are yelling all the time ooohh... this is OFP its so realistic very good gameplay etc etc... Thats all bullshit! WAKE UP!! There is lots of games that are good 3D action. Games arent suppost to train people to kill with somekinda of "war simulators" Games are made to have fun, enjoy your time, not for killing russians (BTW czech did it very directly against Russians i think they still have negative opinions about russians in Prague) Well iam out of here! Wont play AA or OFP this is my opinion! Iam sure that AA is made only to get some pocketmoney for BIS! Making an update for 4 years??.. You really must suck! I know soon Placebo will remove this post! Becouse he knows but can not accept this! You must be really a shimed! cya in the next life when you will make your second update! nx_illusion OUT! 1. I dont think Placebo will BAN you for your opinion, even if you wrote it rudely. 2. I agree that BIs took too much time making Arma ... i agree that BIs had no plan for the future and now rush all the things a little bit. And that pisses me off as well. 3. I am playing OFP for 4 years now and i support your opinion that OFP have hit its limits and in the future it will be in our memories. Even if the comunity is large, even if community made lots of addons, anyways, addons incopability issues are making communities work worthless. Evryday somebody makes some addons, but day after day those addons are forgotten and nobody even uses them. At the same time we see how community interpretate their fellings to OFP by making addons, missions, mods, islands. And thats the part, that makes my fellings for OFP go mad ... sometimes i just DL some addons just to look what each community member/members wish to see in the OFP, that makes OFP unbeaten and that will make us to remember OFP for looong loong time ... forgeting all the CS and BF crap ... 4. Please give me examples of games that can be compared to OFP! 5. OFP is not a training program (like VBS) it was created to have fun. I see that you dont know a sh*t bout OFP communityand never played mp. Just surf some forums of the clans and take a look ... those guys are very friendly fellas i had lots of good time with them online and on forums. 6. Yes ... lots of people have negative opinions about Russians (I am from east EU and btw speak Russian very well), but this does not mean that we hate em! As Most of the word have negative opinions bout Germany ... History is a thing that cannot be changed. 7. We will see if Arma was made just to get pocketmoney ... we will see ... at the moment we cant predict that. Anyways, if arma is 1.5 OFP and if it is true, BIs will loose most of the OLD community, thats for sure! 8. Even without knowing how Arma will look like i can tell for sure that your IQ is lower then most of the comentators here.

Hei ... fellas ... please stop speculating like that (its nonsence! It just hurts my feelings! I am 100% sure that BIs is not playing with us (that ArmA is just cheap PR )! That would be unbelieveble if that would be true ... thousands of fans would come to Prague protesting and shouting ... WE WANT ARMA WE WANT ARMA! Then the riot would start near the BIs walls ... Hundreds of insured, burned cars, broken windows. Police shooting at riot with plastic bullets. BIs wont do that, thats impossible it would mean the end of BIs So i still support the idea: lets wait, and hope that it will come as stated (Q4 05) ... and speculate ... a little bit ... just tiny tiny speculation among fans in the huge labirint of BIs forums away from Placebos eyes

I totaly agree with you! We see only hundreds of Holywood type games on the market. Sometimes i think that those are made like: "buy it, use it once, throw it away". Like hamburgers. Of course it puts lots of money into makers pocket. They get idea, makes it smohow and puts on market, then they get new idea .. and so on and on ... BIs team - Europeans and that says everything ...

God ... that nearly killed me !

Erm ... just curiuos ... whats formation in reality? For example ... the MGunners possition in the formation or medics or AT soldier? Anyone knows?

It is an interesting info you have dig there ... ! But i have a bad felling, that this thread will be closed ... unless BIs wants us to speculate on the future and make the game misteriuos ... uhhhhhhh What if ... game 2 whole platform already created and needs only the storyline with missions (wich is actually not so hard to do). What if BIs already know when and how game 2 will be presented, what if ArmA was created after VBS and BIs waited just for "right moment"? Just read: "obviously we write and use all our own tools/software so for us there isn't so much need or incentive to make them compatible with outside programs" It is from the interview with Placebo. This sentence means that BIs has digged tight in this type of game and i believe they definately know what they are doing and what they will be doing in 2 years (maybe even more). It is a bussines! And i undertand them! I do it myself in my bussines and actually this idea came from US (the good old pro capitalists). You have the ready product on CD and keep it in safe ... and wait for the right time .. when the old product hit their limits (becouse of the technology advance over the time) and profit is getting too low ... you put the CD (if needed you change some properties quickly) out ... upload to CNC mills ... and hooreii! Of course it apllies only when you do such things and nobody else in nearby countries, and if somebody does it ... well .. business meeting and Cartel works out

Simple answer to your question "Why start now?" Becouse on arma will be JIP, and cheaters will migrate as unstopable virus!

Metal Heart, for your knowledge i hate CTF and c&h missions on OFP (res), i just think that these kind of missions do not fit on ofp, for Quake or Unreal it is ok... I love CTI and sometime Coop's Sorry i couldnt express myself on previuos message... i just wanted to say, that leaning/mirror on OFP with its old AI thinking wouldnt fit! For example: 1. Everyone knows that if you (or your bodypart (head)) gets into AI's "eye zone" you are "busted"! AI turns into you and tries to eliminate you, or it uses grenades! So leaning is only one operation you can do from one corner, after that you MUST run to another corner wich means that visionary information gathered on first corner will not fit your changed plan (you moved to another corner) of engagement, becouse AI after seing only one your body part (head) will "know" that you are somewhere in that corner! If after leaning you will try to shot from the same corner you will be hitted by Ai who is already prepared and expecting you from that corner! I want to mark, that AI's have eagle eyes (on OFP) and it brakes your sentence "wouldn't see a peeking soldier"! For MP against other human players maybe it is OK! If AI turned with the back on you .. so everyone knows that you can get near him at 1m and AI would still stand with no emotion! Then leaning would wokr out .. but then .. leaning looses its matter! If AI's would be the same as at NOLF (No one Lives forever) it would be great : Wat iz dat? Ahhh probablyy a kat... Hu iz thee? ehhh meybee i em tuu drunk... and leaning would work! Those guys that have good PCs (like me) and plays on 1600x1200 with huge distance .. knows that players have eagle eyes! If OFP graphics engine would have some kind bare eye limitance or somekind of that when the picture far far away gets blur then i would agree to "And you wouldn't see a peeking soldier, tiny mirror or a periscope from a few hundreds of meters away with bare eyes"! But i know that in old good OFP you see everything in good detail after udjusting your video settings 2. Have you asked the question, why you dont use grenades alot? Why you have a smile when you commander says "hit the ground"? Why you laugh when you see 10 AIs with weapons on their back? Why you "fu**... damn ... &^$@% ..." when you are shot becouse operation Binocular/weapon tooked too long? In my opinion this is the OLD problem of OFP wich (i hope) will be repaired on ARMA. That means that mirror trick: getting the knife, chewing gum, mirror .. would take damn 3 secs. wich is too risky! Pericope would be great in the high grass, but as wee seen in AMRA shots there wont be high grass! "Hit the ground" must look like hitting the ground, but not like going to bed with your girlfriend as in OFP! And i am a little bit shoked by the community ... you try to find new thingies to add to arma wich actually is not neccesary ... but nobody discuss about climbing the fences or jumping or getting thru the windows (or getting out) (i mean jumping, not like Quake ... uh uh uh uh) Thank you ... and forgive me God for my terrible english...
