    I think a small contributing factor in it all is that the ARMA community is about as welcoming as punch to the face. People who have joined here, either before or after the game was out to perhaps make contact with other clans/people who are playing or came here because certain aspects of the game was confusing to then are, on the whole greeted with a large dose of "fuck off cod noob" attitude.

    There are people here that don't want this game to become mainstream and would love it if it was just a few people playing it so long as they can remain on their self appointed pedestal where they can cast e-derision on anyone who, god forbid played a game not on their "approved" list. These people are now on a list of a different kind, My ignore list. Which sadly had come into use for the first time in a very long time.

    I'm a member of a lot of forums and do a lot of promotion for our clan and this is by far the most hostile place I have ever frequented, I'll stick with it though cause I like the game and underneath I think your all made of cream :p

    This.

    They want to remain this game as sim as possible.

    Even people say the speed of the game is too fast... go figure.

    What they dont know is that too much sim is no fun for a game.

    Youd dint play ofp right??

    Try playing it two year later with a geforce 2 and a amd 1300 which was the top specs at the time... it wont go smooth.

    Mp will demand most of the game, new rigs to do new addons that will require more and more power.

    And i dont agreea about the cost thing.

    Anyone that bought a 8800 ultra in its time three and a half years later still has a card that can run every gamein high except for crysys and Arma 2.

    Someone has already measured sprinting to be ~25km/h (which is fast even for bicycle), jogging ~19 km/h and walking 6 km/h. The only reasonable speed here with full gear is 6km/h (actually when not walking for miles I'd expect to walk faster than 6km/h, but for walking long treks 6km/h is considered standard with full gear).

    Running 2000m at 8.5 minutes (which is what I did with normal sports clothing (no gear) at the end of training, and yes, I know I'm not a great runner) gives ~14km/h. To ace a high school fitness exam here you need to run it at ~6min (which usually only extremely fit guys pull off), which is 20 km/h (pretty damn fast!), again with no gear. So is the Arma 2 soldier extremely fast? No, but he's definitely jogging faster than he should be.

    I dont care a bit this a game, not real life.

    The problem with arma was that the anim at aiming was so slow and clunky the game failed at all levels.

    This games need and increase ins peed, i dont care only if its for sprinting, but running needs to be toned up.

    Its got nothing to do with people being campers - It's the fact that we now have servers able to support 4X to 5X the player limit on OFP, but still playing maps with the same area - so the map size and player numbers are actually forcing you to camp.

    Campers are a consequnce of the extreme breathing pulse system and that affects rounds dynamism entirely.

    Without so much campers due to the difficulty of aiming after running like in OFP it would change for good.

    Anth;1389592']Well ive heard and seen this 1 billion times and theres only one thing that can be done and thats addons to change the game' date=' to the way ofp used to feel. Arma/arma 2 is a co-op game as far as im concerned bis made it this way thats why you see very few pvp games running.

    Try from a running position to crouch and kill a corner camper in arma/arma 2 :(

    Then try it in ofp :)

    Theres your difference between the two games!!

    .[/quote']

    exactly.

    Guys people camp for a reason... and that is to abe able to hit something.

    its so obvious its not even funnny.

    The reason for the lack of fun is that in Arma 2 the aim is severly affected when your soldier runs a mierable 20 metres. Unlike in OFP.

    This favours camperism, which favours boresome and therefore lack of excitemet.

    In OFP you could actually hit something if you have been running, not in Arma.

    Therefore the lack of flags, if ppl want to kill something they need to camp every corner.

    This game will only succeed when the severe of the pulse breathing system gets tone down to ofp levels and ppl can hit something after sprinting.

    Right know it is imposible to play a urban ctf withput camping.

    Seriously this game improves at least 75% with a decent squad or clan and teamspeak.

    Im spaniard and my clan is www.clanedm.es and today i remembered days from OFP.

    That and install windows 7, the improvement is dramatic.

    Im running arma2 at high7medium settings at 1680 with a:

    e8500 and gtx275.

    MP is much better than the campaign.

    If you want to play the campaign wait for some patches.

    If you read what I wrote Dlc there was actually no 'insult' made. Your computer truly has something wrong with it - I have a I7 920 stock, 4 GB DDR3 and a 1GB GTS250 - I get no less than 27 fps in a complex mission, in the editor, 40 plus is the norm, perhaps low 30s in a heavy fight. You have a less powerful CPU but a more powerful GPU. But even with a good dual core you should not be getting catastrophic fps like 4/5.

    Christ this game is divisive !

    Your cpu is much better than mines whilst your graphics card is not so much worse than mine.

    Dont quote me as if your hardware is worse, cause it is not.

    ..

    I have a mid-high system (quad) with only a GTS250 and run at good rates..., never less than 27fps in a heavy battle. You have an axe to grind...

    Your computers fucked - 4/5 fps !

    'Game done for good' GTFO - this game will only increase in popularity as the level of the 'average' gaming system increases.

    You can shove your insults up your ass.

    Either you ran it everything on low or you are full of shit.

    Nothing could be further from the truth. The people you call "elitists" are exactly the ones who keep the game alive, making addons, mods and missions and thus giving Arma2 near endless replayablity, just like with OFP. :)

    I guess those people helped bis not to go nearly bankrupt and therefore rushing arma1 and releasing it in such a lackluster state.

    The games increase popularity if they have a friendly mp, with all that elitist coop crap and the poor graphics compared to dx11 in december we will see.

    Because the same crap was said for Arma and noone plays that game, period.

    you guys with your elitist view of this matter are the ones that could make bis go into bankrupcy.

    I agree this game should leave itself in the gameplay aspect, but it needs much better optimization to reach the big public.

    Without big public there is no money, and without money there is no bis.

    And without bis there is no more arma2.

    If you dont comprehend such a simple business management aspect then i hope your work isnt anything related to economics.

    This game already has an outdated engine, speacially physics wise, if they dont put their act together, in no less than 6 months, specially with the coming of the new gt300 from nvidia and the octo core processors from intel with dx11, this game could be done for good.

    I have quad 9550 @ 2.83, 4gb ram, GTX 285 and vista 32

    I cant play the game on medium. I play low/medium and hava 15-25 fps.

    Nice to hear others also have problems.

    I was starting to think my pc was the problem.

    Im downloading windows 7 from microsoft, when i finosh ill format my velocirraptor and tell you guys if there is an increse in performance.

    But im not playing this game without high quality textures, medium objects and at least medium terrain detail with aa2x ( low aa )

    I can live with normal shadows and low anisotropic but thats it.

    Hey guys, im new to ARMA, now that i have bought a new computer i was thinking my computer might run it.... But not!! I installed the demo first.

    Was a very big disapointment..

    My specs:

    Intel i7-920 @ 2,67MhZ

    EVGA GeForce 260GTX 896MB

    6GB DDR3-1333MHZ

    1TB HD 7200 RPM

    My computer should run it... I don't know it's the demo so i was trying the demo first before i buy it. But if the game runs the same as in the demo, i won't buy it just because of the performance.

    Even at normal/low the game looks crappy and blurred all over the place, it's either blurred or low fps.

    My gaming resolution is 26" @ 1920x1200.

    Is this laggy problem fixed in the lastest patch? Is it really solved?

    Do you have fillrate at more than 100%??

    Multicore systems should have an assured increse in performance.

    But it seems even on some peoples quads this isnt true.

    Well i was gonna buy a 275. Do you think it's worth the extra cost in buyer the 285?

    Glad i came across this post now!

    I really dont know.

    What can i tell you is that its not worth the money to change from a 8800 gts to a 275 for this game.

    I mean, with the 8800 i played everything on low, aa deactivated with minimun frames of 20.

    Horrendous, Ofp could look better at those settings.

    Now my Gtx doesnt even hit the medium mark with constant framdrops.

    Im downloading right know windows 7 to give a final verdict but i doubt a lot changes.

    What is your actual card??

    An exclan teammate has a i7 920 with a gtx295 and windows 7 and he cannot max everything out at 1680x1050.

    So go figure.

    Windows 7 RC1 x64

    intel Q6600

    4 GB RAM

    8800GTX XXX

    resolution: 1280x1024

    The game runs fine and is very playable

    don't forget to install nvidia/intel motherboard drivers

    NVIDIA nForce 15.35 WHQL

    Intel Chipset Software Installation 9.1.1.1014 WHQL

    this could make a big difference.

    No it wont.

    I have a e8500 @3800 with an abit ip35pro and a geforce gtx275 and cant even run it on medium with constant framdrops.

    The game is simply not playable at todays resolutions without uber i7´s and gtx285 or above in high settings.
