Some more screens released too and a new interview as well.

I would hate if they ruined ArmA II with hud. It kills the immersion, big reminders that it's just a game. You get a much better feeling of being there without fancy HUD telling it's only a game.

Yeah they dropped the visual quality because of the consoles.

Why? I thought it was a nice game.

Think of it this way, Arma 2 is being developed for consoles so it's taking hell of a lot resources and time because of that.

ArmA campaign will be boring compared to CWC. Really you played it? Whats the first mission like? Oh wait... you were just assuming without any reason backing your theory. They went for a news based approach in ArmA, making the missions really boring "there's enemies/objective there, go destroy it" and next mission, no real plot or cutscenes or characters like in OFP. Cutscenes were just some lame, boring news raports, really lazy. And the videos releasd of the factions still hint that they're going for the same lazy way of making the campaign.

It can't be even half as good if the campaign is solely based around some lame razor special force team. OFP was totally different, you were just thrown out in the unknown and trying to survive. ArmA will be just doing special operations behind enemy lines. Nothing exciting. Just accomplishing missions after another. Yay.

A 30-40 mission campaign like in CWC would be nice... but the standard after OFP has been a short 20 missions after CWC :/

Well in my experience it's the exact opposite. ATi drivers have been way better than nVidia's.

It's a direct copy from BF:BC.

Copy OFP1? They are copying BF:BC and adding a large environment with a HC mode where bullets are effective.

No it doesn't trigger anything if it's made like in insurgency.

It's starting to look nice. http://www.aa3.americasarmy.com/images....000.jpg http://www.aa3.americasarmy.com/images....006.jpg http://www.aa3.americasarmy.com/images....008.jpg You can download the new video from aa3 site.

I can't say yet, tomorrow when the rest new stuff will be presented.

It will be based on penetration, like in real life.

Yeah. Finally no more hitpoint systems for vehicles.

By some pre-beta screens only you are going to make the decision? Hmm yes, i already disliked AA2, AA3 will not have a free open world like I little spoiled guy is used to have with OFP or Arma. Â Of course if there will be some very nice never seen before tactical-gameplay innovations, then maybe i give it a try since its free. There will be round pre-planning phase added for example. And if I recall correctly, you will be able to select where a blackhawk will drop you in the beginning of the game in some maps.

And if you look the new USMC video, it still looks just as dumb/clumsy. When they exit the huey, one guy just turns to a statue. When there's a firefight, they just move -> get stoned -> go prone, shoot -> get up -> get stoned -> move forward -> same thing over and over again.

Similar HDR sound engine to Battlefield Bad Company's engine would create so much better war atmosphere.

The only thing revealed is that we will see improved grass.

No. Last time i heard BIS had about 50 people working on Arma 2, and they are using Arma as a foundation while CM is starting a multiplatform game from basically.. scratch. Theres a huge diference, the engine that powers Arma 2 is the result of over 10 years in development. Yeah and still has flaws from 10 years ago.

Yup, those are confirmed to be old screenshots taken for Leipzig GC back in 2008. Real new screens will be released on friday.

Only official word about it is this: "I cant tell you what it is, but you all will be blown away -TOTALLY! So spread the word, tell your friends, go dancing in the street as you prepare for next week"
