BIS like to use there own engine as Arma is just a modified OFp engine and wer're not going to see a truly updated engine until game2. Plus as havoc would of been costly to implenent and very cpu hungry.

You've proved me wrong

A Mod team that turns people away, this has to be a first  I will say however that this sounds very interesting and i'll be keeping my eye (look at my avatar) on this....

I wouldn't worry too much about them not having the "correct" weapon as when the modding tools are released i'm expecting a few versions within a couple of months...If a bullet comes out the end of the barrel and it's heading in the direction of a person who wants to cause you some harm, then i wouldn't give a crap if i was holding the wrong version...

Oh come on mate, you can't exclude Arma because of that one reason. I havn't got the game either but i'm not letting any bad review deter me from buying it. I know suppressive fire is pretty cool and it's unfortunate it's not properly implimented but i'm betting there's a lot of new features that will more than make up for this.

I don't read too much into screenshots like what Marcus-Ergalla or Mr Burns posted, as Parvus on the Flashpoint photography threads could get images of nearly equal or if not the same quality, albeit with a hight amount of editing. None of our versions of Arma will look like thoses sort of screens while ingame playing a mission. But i'm on these forums everyday so prove me wrong guys, prove-me-wrong.........

This is the crux of most of the complaints about poor performance. The majority of people want high details with a good view distance but like OFP this was difficult to achieve. I assumed the ArmA engine had been optimized to be able to achieve this but by reading these threads i'm having doubts..I have a high-end system but i'm holding off from ordering the Czech or German version so i can't test it out which is making me anxius

I'm glad i'm a patient person as i'm waiting for the 505 UK release. I think though that we should have a sweep stake to see what version ArmA will be at by then...I'm thinking ver 1.3

If your going to buy an uptodate system i wouldn't worry how your current system will handle Arma. But judging by recent replies i would say you could run Arma on low-mid settings with a few of the good options turned off.

This will probably be the last PC i will ever buy. But believe it or not, i only bought it for ArmAs as i don't have any games left as i threw them all out (still got flashpoint and VBS1 for memories sake). Intel core2 X6800 (2.933Ghz) Asus P5N32 SE mobo 4096MB DDR2 900mhz 2 1GB nvidia Geforce 7950 GX2 sli configs Creative SB X-Fi fatality fps. PS, I know there's a lot of Polish immigrants over here as i heard on our local radio station that the city of Southamptons population is one fifth Polish.

It doesn't make any differance where you live mate, as here in the UK I earn five times as much in a month than what you wrote a Polish policeman earns. But everything is sooo much more expensive to buy. My new system cost me approx 4438 Euros.

I was going to write the exact same thing. I can't see why it's still here as the blog has been redundant since Oct 21st. Nice idea but poorly executed. . Time to call it a day me thinks

I actually read the thread title before i post. And my post included my ideal rig to play armed assault. The title of this thread is not "This is my rig and this is how armed assault runs on it".

My system specs are, Intel core 2 duo extreme X6800 (2.933Hghz,4MB) Asus P5N32-Sli SE deluxe mobo 4GB DDR2 900Mhz ram 2X 1GB nvidia geforce 7950 GX2 Sli configs (yes thats 4 GPUs) SB X-Fi fatality FPS 20" widescreen TFT My only main concern is that Flashpoint didn't run at very high settings even on todays machines. I know Arma is supposed to be a more optimized engine of flashpoint but will i be able to get the best out of my gpus. Ps @Zombie_Mod I must be a serious asshole, as i purchased this system for one game only and yes it's Arma...That's how much i love flashpoint and i know i'll love Arma. It will be worth every penny imho....

i read it was starforce...

I would add stuff as you go along because if you build up a whole load of info then go off to post it, someone may have already input the same info . Great idea though as the more info the better. Especially for those of us who still have a few months to wait before we get to visit the island.

Now you know what it's like for people like me in real life. I'm 6'4" and even though i can see out of my vans windscreen i have to dip my head to see out of the side window, and i'm not f***ing klidding... Ontopic, like MAA3057 has already mentioned the fact that addon makers can and will rectify this problem i'm not too worried, but i can see those who have already got the game will find it a slight pain.

I second that.

I'm inclined to agree with heatseeker here as ironsight is right about the amonut being sold to non-german speeking customers may be a small percentage but it'll still eat into 505s market. I'll just wait for the 505 SE..

@ HePCaT Will you be doing the desert version also or are you leaving that to Wilco.I ask because if your doing seperate colour schemes the vests and webbing will have differant textures. Maybe if you co-operate on this with Wilco we'll have one kick-ass addon sooner rather than later. Oh and i prefer the medic colour.

UK, and i'm waitng for my countries official release date as i want a near perfect game. Plus i've ordered my new system just for this game. intel core2 duo extreme x6800 (2.933Ghz) 4096MB DDR2 900Mhz 2x 1GB nVIDIA Geforce 7950 GX2 sli configs Creative SB X-Fi fatality And i'll be playing it on a 20" widescreen TFT. Â PS; I'm hopeing i can run on very high settings but who knows what it'll run like considering the german release problems.

double post error

That would make me happy. I don't want the map that the German SE gets as it's pretty featureless and not much good. It's more like a tourist map than a military map. How about putting the contents into a map case like this. I'm not a huge fan of oversized containers like the ammo box.

Every time i read another review i get even more puzzled. RedStorm mentioned the sound being fantastic but in another review it was mentioned that the sound "bugs" (vehicles sounding near when they are miles away) that where in flashpoint are still here in Arma. Also the collision detection in Arma is mentioned as being far better than flashpoint but already in this thread we have ironbluedawn write about "infantry running through walls, buildings, fences, trees".
