    Says who?

    Sorry but that's just bullshit. You want max graphics, you need a high end PC. That's life.

    The requirements are there to show you what you need to run it. That is, after all, the most important part.

    No, the MINIMUM requirements specified tells you what you need to run the game. The RECOMMENDED specification you should atleast to be able to run the game at medium settings with 30 fps or more.

    Hi longers

    Having a good graphics card helps but the real bottle neck is CPU in ArmA, what are your system specs? There is a system specs thread stickied; have a look in there for advice on settings. As always check the troubleshooting thread for advice on drivers, and solutions for particular hardware.

    If you one of those who is going to take um bridge and say the age old cliche of; "I have the latest computer with the highest specs I should be able to run ArmA II with everything maxed!" forget it, it is not true and never has been except for games that attempt to massage the customers ego with "Yes you have the l33t computer, you computer is more l33t, than any one else's, our puny game quivers before the might of your l33t throbbing machine!" ArmA is not like that in-fact it has replaced all the other games as the benchmark of choice for PC gaming hardware.

    There is a long tradition with the Real Virtuality Engine of future proofing the game, so that as computing power doubles every 2 years, dear old Moores law, the design of the game is open ended enough that, you can continue to have your experienc of ArmA II improve.

    What this means in practical terms is that running ArmA II a couple of days after release with everything maxed is a little bit ambitious, even with bleeding edge computer hardware. Over time BIS will refine, optimise and improve ArmA thus extending its long term use for you and all the rest of ArmA's fans. In the mean time, go into your ArmA options, select video options, select 3D resolution and look for the setting that says 100% at the end. Also try reducing you view distance by half and test, then increase the view distance until you reach a happy medium.

    By the way I run it on an ATI 1950pro its fine on my computer but my brothers radeon 4890 1gb it looks astonishingly good even at long view distances, and larger resolution.

    Kind Regards walker

    I think you're dreaming, mate. ArmA2 haven't replaced other games as benchmarking software.

    You are also wrong - the game SHOULD run smooth at the quality of official screenshots if you own a computer with or above the requirements specified on the box.

    The first bullet hitting the glass would always be affected. Even Snipers take that into account. But the thing in A2 is that the glass doesn't shatter and break immediately, it remains there for a few more shots whereas real glass would quickly fall down and thus no longer influence successive bullets.

    Depends on what type of glass - most ordinary glass types in buildings won't shatter just because you shot a bullet through it - you will simply have a small hole with some cracks in it.

    ARMA 2 just isn't fun for me, sure the graphics are nice but overall the gameplay just feels somewhat boring.

    90% of the time you can't even see the enemy only to find out your getting shot at by a squad of guys on the other side of a hill.

    I don't know how to narrow it down but before in Arma it felt like you had so many options to choose from. I'm trying to like Arma 2 but its just too hard at the moment.

    Not to mention there is still no inclusion of a kill book when you die, like the one from OFP, and with such drastic bullet spray and long distance shooting, its almost as if you did nothing at all the entire time.

    Nope, I'm not
