www.armedassault.com is a Bohemia Interactive managed site. and a demo will be made by bohemia interactive also it will be released from bohemia interactive, i asked the german publisher morphicon and they sayed that there waiting for Bohemia Interactive, its there choice.

sorry about offtopic but... Some few words to Placebo, our great Community & PR Manager. Placebo, what do you expect about the ArmA owners? we need to go to cz republik to get arma because there is no demo out like in good old operation flashpoint. also everything looks like the demo is coming out after the german release. and that is bad. nobody here has a chance too take a closer look to the game until he buy it in a few weeks. i want to know, were the problem is that BIs needs gold reports from russia and poland to release the demo!? there is germany and cz that gave gold allready. sorry for talking about the demo all the time but the advertisement from Bohemia Interactiv and there game called Armed Assault is poor. Sorry but i am a very big Fan of Operation Flashpoint the developers Bohemia Interactive, and it is hurting very bad too see such poor advertisement. take a look at the screenshots from the cz version owners: http://www.clanfighters.de/images/news-pics/35_1163190279.jpg and here: http://www.clanfighters.de/images/news-pics/35_1163222907.jpg now take a look at the screens postet by BI: http://www.armedassault.com/shots/ArmA_149.jpg and here: http://www.armedassault.com/shots/ArmA_145.jpg the screenshots made by the Community are best. why i talk about this screens? i am thinking about BIs and what is up with them. the advertisement of VBS1 and Operation Flashpoint is better than this one. Placebo please, talk with your guys at Bohemia Interactiv, you are the best developers and you guys dont need a "YES" from the publishers for releasing a demo. look at all the great feedback of the german, english and cz users in this forum that owns arma from CZ allready. everybody from theme sayed that it is a great game, but nobody can realy take a look on the game because its not there home languadge. if Bohemia Interactive want to do something good to there community, go ahead and release the demo. i u want to tell all the demo users that the game is still under developerment, get an info in the demo called "still under developerment" or "beta demo". nobody will get a bad meaning about ArmA if they know that this is not a final release version and publish the demo in a english languadge or cz languadge it wont matter. after release you guys can release a final demo. so please please Bohemia Interactive, take your time guys and think about it, the community is standing behind u guys! greetings, Kev

is this hdr effect from the game or just made with an pic programm?

Hi shadak, thx for all the videos over here, can you do me a favor please? Can u record a video about the CTI multiplayer mode, were we can see how the convoy works and how you get reinforcements? if the video gets too big - no problem, your the best. let it have 10 minutes and 200MB Filesize if it wants to. You will make me very very happy with this video! Other people will be happy too i think. greetings, Kev

big big "badaboooom" hehe i am totaly impressed. great video over here. i hope BIS made this fantastic job greater and added the recoil animation also like a wasted ground texture were the arty impacts. also more very more dust and long time until dust disappears. about 10 mins is great. and this com sounds. boah this com sounds. i get horny of that game give me this great game now!!! i feel like back in army if i hear this com sounds. hrhr lets play god with the finger on that trigger button for arty strike :P

if i remember right each player is able to command up to 40 ai soldeirs. can be that i am wrong, but i think i heard it at the PC-Action Magazin DVD.

i wanted to say that the .357 magnum bullit is rising on 800 meters. and thats awsome for a pistol bullet. also the sniper rifles are part of the .357 magnum family, like you sayed the .338 lapua magnum. also i added the rifle bullet .308 or the newer .408 calibre. so please dont missunderstand me. if i typed something wrong or did a misstake on explaining something about rifle rounds, your welcome to correct me.

you are right, nice to meet an weapon fan but i was specialy talking about the most used sniper rifle bullets. i did not talk about pistol and assault rifle rounds. just wanted to bring the .308, .357 and .408 near to our community, i enjoy if there is somebody like you adding more interesting information. go on... also i need to say, that i am not perfect and also interested on new information. i know the .338 lapua magnum but did not know, that this is the new standard of military sharpshooters. because the .408 is new developerment and military based too.

I guess it is just you from the videos it seems that the balisitcs are pretty good (to me at least) a bit better than ofp however still not as good as the balistic represntation in WGL 5.1 and i could be wrong but i think that most assult rifles in the real world can hit targets up to 300m away without major adjusting, and the can hit targets up to 500m away with adjustment true, the .357 Magnum bullet and other magnum family rounds used in most sniper rifles are rising by 800 meters and hits targets directly at 1400 meters with only minimal adjustments because of the wind. arctic warfare magnum is one of the famous weapons used by military. also this weapon listens to the shortcut AWM/AWP also known in the game Counter Strike. the badboy under the magnums is my favorite: M82 Light Fifty ( .50 calibre bullits ) maximum range 6800 meters / 7450 yards effektiv range of 1800 - 2400 meters / up to 2000 yards can stop a 5 tons truck by a one shot hit in the engine. Is used to destroy mines and stop light armored vehicels from a save distance. Here an Official Information video by Army: Its the best video u can get about this sniper rifle. they shoot several armor and u see only holes. watch it, the soldier is informing about the m82a1 and then they show it in action. also one of my favorite babys: Cheytac M400 .408 Calibre - its gettin bigger and bigger ^^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DTLsgCH0ys here an information video series about snipers: Snipers - One shot - One kill! part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq4eRQizGe0 part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z0VpWEg0T4 part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz7V4KqNGB4 part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsh_uapZC-8 part 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lkJABLvR6Q Very interesting, the hole series is about 30 minutes. Here in this short video u can see the best sniper rifles, including AWM, M82A1, CH408 and more:

Sorry Folks & Placebo but i need to open this topic because i am getting nervus. Armed Assault is released in czech allready and the german release date is only about 14 days away. the russian publisher is not given any new statements because of gold. whats up with the demo. i wanted to see the game by my own with an demo befor i buy it. i truely will buy ArmA for sure, but i want to get my first impressions about Armed Assault. I wrote an E-Mail to german publisher Morphicon and asked theme for information. moprhicon sayed that they are sorry and that they have no new information about the demo and they are hoping too, that it will come out soon. because, the demo is some kind of preview of the game. its too bad if the demo will be released to late. so please, can Bohemia Interactive give us a new statement about the demo? Is it possible that the demo will come out befor the last gold anouncement? Thanks, Kev

XCess, i think the same like you. i loved the RTS based CTI mode in OFP. I also hope there will be a way it can get more realistic, this convoy and supply line idea by BIS is great, but is it made like we all hope? are there supply lines we need to secure or engage? are there resupply of tanks and apc's and support trucks? what do we need to do that we can choose the supply we want? this are many questions that needs to be answered. but nobody that has ArmA answered it allready. thats why i hate it so much to wait until 30. November ArmA release. thats why i hate we still need to wait until the MP-Demo is coming out and i hope the MP-Demo has this CTI mode includet. greetz, kev

for sure, but it would be nice if there is coming up some more screens so we have something to comment and talk about

thats why i sayed that this resupply convoy thing can be a great feature on this CTI mode by Bohemia Inter. but only if u get tactical points when u captured a town/city that u can spend for resupply of some abrams tanks or APC, so u are possible to defend an strategic area. in reallife we learned at army how to use a tank, all u do is move that iron fortress into cover and defend an 40° field of view, engage upcoming enemy tanks and apc's. after positiv hits u move the tank out of cover into the next defence position. watch this abrams video and u see an example, why the abrams tank is so fast and how they use it: thats why i want that it is possibel in CTI to make reallike battlefronts. because its full of fun and needs a high skill of tactical coordination. also a nice tank platoon video with some scenes from good old OFP:

page 4 allready and no many screenshots here, will this become an bad thread too?

Please check the included Multiplayer mode CTI. -How is the mission? -what you have to do? -whats including this convoy? -how u can get more armored veikels like m1a1 and stryker? -how can u resupply, do u use points for it? -do you need to refuel now? -do you need to capture all towns and is it playing on the complete island? AI: - how is the AI behavior when u are playing tank commander - does the AI handle your orders quick like in OFP or are they just stupid - what ways of exiting a blackhawk do we have? like paradrop etc. Physics: - are the vehikel physiks from tanks and APCs the same like in OFP - how are the aircraft physics thats just my few cents - viel spaß! greetings, Kev

Tanks like abrams get air and ship transportet in reallife. so it is possible and realistic, also sahrani is no small island with his 400kmË› Kulgojev, Everon etc had only 32kmË› and had tanks like t80 and abrams too. because sahrani is so big i want those tanks, i hope it will be realistic amount of tanks in the game. if not, i think there will be some community modified BIs CTI missions with that convoy. sounds great. i please the administrators of BIs (like placebo) can give a statement here with some detail information about this CTI game mode. what features it has and what we need to do in this mode and what the convoy stands for.

Dont missunderstood me guys, i dont love CTI because of the RTS style, i love CTI because of the realistic amount of armored and light vehikels. we have a 400mË› BIG ISLAND here. there 3 times bigger than all 3 OFP islands together. there is no fun in a CTI or Longtime MP Battle if u have only 1 to 3 Abrams Tanks some Hammers and at least 1 chopper. i loved to build a war front between two towns with one Abrams squad that hides with turned off engines in cover. between the tanks there was 100 meters space for a big ratio of sight line. it was nice to have some fantastic battles at night wenn there was a t-80 platoon trying to secure the area in south Everon and the commander called for abrams assist. We wont have any big battles on Sahrani with 3 tanks, u will see the most people walking the way to a town because there are no vehikels left, so how long do you want to walk? an hour? i was in german army for more then 2 years. we learned that convoy based support forwarding. we had a mobile HQ, a supply vehikel and medivac. we learned, if there is a heavely defended area we can call armored support that takes 1 to 24 hours to reach our position. that means there is coming a Leopard 2A6 squad if needet. also air attacks and more. so the BIs CTI truely can be nice, but i dont beleave it. if there is coming a convoy, what will happen if the enemy team will search on rush for this convoy and destroy us after 10 minutes? did u guys think about it? what will be the amount of the convoy? that what i hatet are those small kiddie battlefields from battlefield 2 with 1 chopper for transport and one cobra, also only 2 tanks and 6 jeeps. ok it was a good amount for the small maps. BIs used this amount in OFP too. you guys remember? this Deathmatch games? i tell you how the BIs CTI can be good. maybe it is like it, i dont know. nobody is given us more details. so a good BIs made CTI mode for example: MP STATUS: 100 Players 50 Soldiers each team. each player has up to 20 AI soldiers. So if we start with a ammo supply, fuel supply and medivac. also we have a repair truck and 3 hammers in our convoy. to go for the first town it can be nice. if u get some points or something like that for capturing the town to call up 2 abrams 1 stryker or something like that, then the cti mode is cool. because u can spent ur capture points for resupply and ur army is growing up. so that means, if the enemy has 8 towns and US Forces have 8 towns there can be a big conflikt. almost with a amount of units like used in iraq. for example 10 - 20 abrams, 4 cobras some APCs and Hammers, also littlebirds for fast squad based town attacks. abrams used for area support and town defence. if this is true, the CTI mode from BIs is great. but nobody over here that has ArmA is taking the time too check this out. "JIP" Join in Progress is a Server Feature. You can use it with OFP "rts styled" CTI missions also for other community made missions.

this info makes me cry!!! thats no CTI!?! god damn.... i loved to build a base where we wanted too. in cover of the woodland or somewhere between hills. building facilities and hook up a 4 tanks squad each player in assist of his AI squad. our clans made tactics wile in the game saying "in 1 hour when its dark we get a blackhawk full of a squad and drop them off near this town" or for example: bravo black one to delta six: "please confirm the visual on that tank at charlie echo 1 2 - over" delta six to bravo black one: "confirming one T-80 two BMP and one UAZ at charlie echo 1 2 - over" bravo black one to delta six: "one T-80 two BMP and one UAZ - copy - phoenix is airborn - contact in ETA 5 minutes - take cover - area at charlie echo 1 2 will be under fire and lightn up - over and out" were are those good old times??? if there are only some armored vehikels the good old time is gone! welcome Battlefield 2 Kiddies, its time for your vehikel teamkilling again, because there are only a small amount of vehikels and the fastest player will have one of them. i see the future news on the fan pages: "there is no "at least 12 hour fantastic multiplayer game" were u need to capture all towns of sahrani. there is only a 12 hour massacer of deathmatch in front of 3 abrams, 1 cobra and 1 blackhawk." please excuse my bad expressions however. I feel mieserabel and disappointet.

i know u heard it alot but i please u too use the search button. yes there will be a demo. but only if all eastern publishers gives arma gold. german and czech publishers sayed gold allready. russian publisher still saying no gold. we wait for it. if russia publisher says gold the mp demo will be released and when arma hit the stores a sp demo will coming out. i hope i could help. greetings

Hello Ian Malcolm, thank you for all the fantastic screenshots and feedback. i have two questions and i please you to give us information about it. Can u give us detail information about the CTI mode? if it is possible to build facility, barracks and is it like the CTI mode of OFP, where u need to take and hold citys and buy your units? Can u maybe post us some more high detaild screenshots about the m1 abrams and the choppers like blackhawk and cobra also of some special units like grenadiers, snipers and such? Thank you.

now i am getting boring in this forum. there are so many people out there that have the game allready and nobody can give us information. does BIs dont want they give us infos about CTI or is there no CTI? i am going to get mad allready.

Hello Folks, i think its time now to open this Topic scince ArmA is released. Now we can ask and talk about details from Armed Assault. Like Multiplayer Features, Game Performance, Grafiks, Units, AI and more. But at this Point i want to assist Placebo and the Community: "NO SPOILERS - NIC NEPROZRAZOVAT- KEINE INHALTSANGABEN" This is NO Topic for questions about the Singleplayer Campaign. So people lets go crazy now and talk about the best released military simulation-game. My 3 cents on this point: Can somebody of the lucky guys like Ian Malcom, tell us something about the Multiplayer modes. Like Deathmatch and CTI (Capture the Island) and maybe post us screens from the Ingame Map of Sahrani? How does the CTI starts and how looks the multiplayer missions like? What System based settings can be made on the ingame options? I hope i made allowed questions here and this thread will not get locked. thx & greetings, Kev

Moree... give us more....moooooreee....:D 10 Screens.....100 Screensss......1000 Sscreeens.... and this on yesterday

hi folks, i was an ati user, now i'm using an nvidia card. the HDR is supported by 6600,6800,7600,7800 and up to the 80xx series. also its supportet by ati x800 and x18xx series. so how the hell are people saying hdr can not be used under 80xx series? thats not true.

This was allready answered in a preview. yes they do to pin u down. other question only the owners of arma can answer.
