This is one thing I totally agree with. BIS please add this ASAP... Yea BIS, forget about fixing crashes, bugs, AI and so on and add a feature so we can choose which seat to get into in vehicles, some of us prefer the view from specific seats. It is very important for a military simulation to let you choose specific passenger seats. That was sarcasm by the way .

Single 7800GT and it runs fine for me. Drop the viewdistance and make an application profile for ArmA to make sure the game uses both SLI cards. You write your post as if everyone has this problem . Remember that the game is obviously going to be more demanding than Battlefield 2 and the like since it has much more detail and a greater viewdistance.

Look at your sig you hypocrite . It looks fine to me, I play at 1280x960. Maybe up the resolution by a notch. Either way you'll get used to it.

They have given us wrong minum and recomended specs or they are uselles too. Best way to get more performance will be to change the way how the data is streamed and not for us to buy new hardware because is less expensive to us. Just change sourece code and everything will be fine! How are the minimum and recommended specs wrong? Obviously just because your PC meets them doesn't mean you can max out the settings. My specs are a bit below those of the guy who started the thread and I can play just fine. A little lag when I'm near groups of bushes and looking into them but that's not so bad. "Just change sourece code and everything will be fine!" Wow don't you have alot of software programming knowledge .

Hell no, it would be damn expensive if it was going to be decent quality. Maybe a mic could be included but not headphones. If you want those at a decent quality buy them separately. Anyone who already has a decent sound setup for their PC wouldn't want that included. Cheap headphones=cheap quality. I thought people would have let this thread die already. It's old.

ArmA isn't an online game for everyone, not everyone has a connection that can handle it. If it was only an online game then there would be no SP missions and campaign. The MP demo does not give a good impression of the game, at least not as good as it could be. Personally I want an SP demo. BIS have said that there would be one so you not wanting one makes no difference. Obviously those of us that don't have the game and enjoy SP feel differently. And playing coop on your own does not count. The mission is made for coop, so it is basic and the difficulty is set above that of a normal SP mission. It isn't that great either. Edit: MP demo is locked, I doubt that would work. Atleast the original files can't be modified so I doubt that you can add missions.

Yea but if the SP demo only comes out with the 505 release that's gonna suck. Although I would love a working CTI as well. Hopefully both come out soon.

Americas Army will never be fixed mate, the more they throw at it the more bugged it gets . How on Earth can someone play America's Army when they have ArmA? That game isn't much fun - especially compared to ArmA. I played it a bit, it doesn't take long to get boring. Personally I think it sucks, but it's free so no reason to complain. And as for holding off until the game is fixed - what the hell you talking about? It's perfectly playable. A few bugs but it's not that bad.

NO, your PC is utter rubbish. It wont play any game at a decent FPS. Sell it for 3$ or something. Or give it away to a poor person. Hell with a PC like that you should give up on games.

I agree, the MP demo isn't much fun. I hope we will get an SP demo soon, and well before the 505 release. I don't understand why we got an incomplete MP demo, hell the CTI is unplayable.

Did you even read the other replies you got? Stop talking crap please.

Damn some people talk the biggest load of crap here . Performance problems are not due to the hard drive unless yours is really old and slow. GPU and CPU are the main factors. Less than 1 gig of RAM might cause problems aswell. The bushes are detailed and have high resolution textures with transparency. Turning down transparency AA and AF will help. Object detail at normal helps aswell. Also if your video card is a 7600 or higher then turning down post processing is just dumb . I have seen posts by people with better cards than mine who set it to low. My 7800GT has no problems with it. Not sure about Shading detail, but high end shader model 3 cards should be fine with it at full.

Sure you guys who have the super accurate AI killing you instantly don't have Super AI on? Super AI makes the AI really hard. I've only played the demo but the AI in the coop mission don't seem to shoot that accurately. Turn the enemy skill down in the difficulty options and turn super AI off if they shoot too accurately.

Simply call an AI to move near you and get him to "Report Status". There you go, the cheat is already there .

Theres you problem, 256 mb. You really need 512 to play it on high. My 256Mb 7800GT plays fine with settings on very high. Man where on Earth did you get that info?

Removal of dead bodies isn't needed for most missions, and is something that a mission editor should do himself if it is needed. But the CTI mission in the demo seriously needs dead body removal, it is pretty much unplayable right now. It also has other bugs like sometimes you can spawn in the enemy base and you sometimes spawn wounded. Also when you leave AI teammates behind (like you die or go to far so they are no longer part of your squad) they will hang around forever.

They aren't very good at choosing positions, but neither are the enemy AI. Just make sure you choose an appropriate formation for the situation and maybe give them positions to move to when appropriate (like if you want to attack from two different angles.) And after all my time with OFP and now the ArmA demo I still don't know how to tell my squad my position . Maybe someone here knows but I'm not sure you can. I usually just give them a move order near me.

But it was only to check if the copy protection is causing the problem . I think that was just ridiculous.

The game will never run properly on that graphics card, I'm afraid you will need an upgrade.

As said before MS Flight sim isn't perfectly realistic.

Some people criticize the idea of kill notifications and kill tallies. In my time playing the demo I see kill notifications come as radio messages: "Player X killed Player Y" and when you die/reach debriefing you have a kill tally. Do you people not see these things or something because I do? And the first two pages really shows what immature assholes we have here.

Well no offense but that is a stupid solution. Getting the music right in a video takes more than to just "slap" it on. It's not like you're going to watch the video more than once or twice in most cases anyway.

A persons taste in music shouldn't matter if the music suits the scene well. I don't like classical on it's own but if it is used well in the video then it is good. This topic has nothing to do with taste in music anyway - but the repetitive use of the same music.

Well if the autoaim is serverside then does it matter? It's an option so relax. Inventory is kinda annoying but it does let you customize your inventory better. You don't need to use it to rearm your ammo or take a primary weapon from a dead body so it isn't so bad.

Looking at the title, I thought this would be a useless stupid topic, but you have a good point. There are plenty of songs people could use, just open up audacity or a similar program to cut out the piece you want or 'remix' it a bit. People always seem to use good music to death until it gets unbearable. Edit: @Smellyjelly: Well then you wont enjoy the video much now would you?
