@MaddogX, Again, whatever works for you may not work for me. I'm glad that game looks beautiful, for you. I know looking beautifully makes for great screen shots in those 200+ paged screen shot threads, but I don't care for it. I like running beautifully (looking beautifully and running beautifully are two different things, fyi). Try reading my posts and you'll find that I've already wrote this.. Good luck.

:D Well, I'll agree that it appears to be a step up on Arma, but it still looks like it needs some work. Either way it looks fun, and sooner or later I'll hopefully be enjoying it!

I read the threads, I read the reviews/comments, and I watched the videos. And I deduced from all those that there is still an optimization problem that many of you are failing to come to terms with, and that's okay. It may be better than Arma but not good enough, and Arma isn't much of a benchmark considering how horrible it was in that department. I'm not looking for BI/Arma to fail, but it hasn't found it's stride just yet. Like I said, down the road with patches and cheaper prices for better computer parts, ArmA2 will be a hit with many. @Whisper, Running it is one thing, running it well at graphic settings (with a respective FPS) that one deems acceptable is entirely another. Playing at 1024x768 at medium settings may be a-okay for you, but not for me. I think this is a fair assessment that maybe you are choosing to ignore; http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,685770/Armed-Assault-2-Graphics-card-benchmarks-and-visual-quality-compared/Practice/

Kudos for saying what needs to be said TonnyRat. People are either failing to realize or BI is either neglecting to confront a very real, if not the most important problem of these two games; optimization. It was ignored in the first game and apparently, I fear, has been ignored once again. If you need the top-dollar video card and processor of the day to run it just somewhat respectively, something is wrong! I trust BI will work digilenty towards fine-tuning their product and I think a few patches down the road and about a year or so after us schmoo's have the money to buy the technology needed to run it; Armed Assault 2 will be a hit! For now, BI should forgo the work on all the pleasant niceties, such as shiny HDR graphics, uber-AI, kewl scopes on your M4, paint color of the tanks and just make the game run well!

this thread should have never been started. PEACE ! edit: just some typos
