Just making sure I let all the modders know that, since the game debuted, I had put it down. This came from many things I thought were missing; and me personally not having the patience to figure out modding. Months have passed and I installed Arma again and the mods are seriously a breath of fresh air. Sound, AI, ect. I really appreciate the effort to keep this game fresh and new and if I had the money I would give all of you what you deserve! Thanks Ghost

The questions is asked after watching a few videos. The game looks no different than, "ARMA 1." I do notice trees are colored but who cares? BIS is using the same engine and the same animations they previously had. Telling me on paper that there are a numerous amount of changes. Yet the videos show nothing that merits anything less than an, "addon fee." If I compare this to OPF2 if you will, the game isnt even in the same arena and I would just like to know what they are trying to pull on us, were not blind.

Now based on his information, this engine sounds much more modable than Arma. OPF2 though unreleased in any detailed information, looks like it may have traits of a real campaign in realtime. I guess we have no choice to wait and only hope someone can eventually get it right....Hence any hardware limitations.

Never mind someone is already doing it. http://pc.ign.com/articles/846/846707p1.html

It was meant for Arma 3 which isnt in development yet, so the devs could still have a chance to change the mechanics of how the game is played now. There isnt a forum spot for this topic, unless they decide they are going to make another arma game. If you take Arma or OPF2 as a whole, one of which we know very little about. You could only imagine, what can and maybe should be done with such a flexible engine. The concept they use now is, short missions and loading times. Each transition between missions is forcing you to take the role of different human or mechanical vehicles. Instead of force feeding us this story, allow us to be the same person and experience battle by individual player growth and rank. This may be similar to your idea, which tells me we both agree, that the current state of the game lacks substance and emotional development of ones self. I believe the devs spend to much time, air brushing the scenery and forget to put something in it worth playing as a whole.

S.T.A.L.K.ER Chernobyl A game that had persistant levels and a living breating environment, with an obvious rpg mix. How hard would it be for the Arma engine to have a huge populated world map that allowed the same concept as STALKER but with todays technology? Play as a rebel or an army recruit and build your own story behind you. Wishful thinking it may be, but if someone could pull it off, it would be military game of the century.

First actually go into arma and turn everything to its lowest setting and than if that doesnt work try NTune. Tedious as it is, if you have NTune u need to set all GPU settings to bare minimum and asses the problem from there

Its the map that starts with Rah..the small island

Got the game to run a marginally better. I realized I was testing it on a edited map of mine, which had alot of events going on in one cycle. Changed my Virtual Memory to 4gig x 3 /Ran Ntune-"TuneSystem" again 14% increase in performance not including memory timing adjustments. Ran Riva Tuner to increase Shader performance (1350 was the increase) Ran a few Vista utilities to enhance system performance. Map= Rah 30-60 average 45 FPS with shadows off....Shadows on is playable but at 25-19FPS-4 Tanks incoming plus 12xnormal amount of enemy groups, drops no more than 20FPS. View distance scaled back to 1000 something at 10000 FPS 25-19 this is before encountering any enemies_All options on High. except shadows off. Object detail very high, anistrophic very high, Anti is at 8---- res 1280x1024_ MP 24 people connected. Same setting playing Evolution Ping 64ms FPS held at 25-35 in most areas. View distance 3k something Very playable...Problem with me is, even though its playable I still have the urge to push more buttons to squeeze out even more performance if I can.

What the HaloHel?....Well I watched videos of misinformed Empire Strikes Back fans waiting for what they thought was a starwars movie.. One guy said, "I cant wait to watch Starwars return of Chewie." He was punched repeatedly by a camera man, wearing a Halo3 helmet. Some chinnesse kid wearing princess Lea sandals, came out of no where and karate kicked some guy saying, "Master Chief would Own Darthvader. The kick to his head sent him flying into a light pole and the lights went out. Pitch black as it was, the only thing you coud see was light sabres from some of the angry customers. They screamed, "The force is strong with this one b-itch!" Halo3 customers could be heard yelling, Masterchief give me the strength of ten pink elephants!" But Masterchief never delivered.

Overclocking guide, based on the 163.71 drivers. Im testing......Step by step http://legionhardware.com/document.php?id=687

Thanks, Sickboy Questions does anyone know if, Arma2 or OPF2 was going to have the covering AI ala (Peek, use cover ect?) I love the AI now and if they can make them perform these movements I and others Im sure would be thrilled.
