Yes Chenarus is nice, but why aren't Russians supposed to be Peacekeepers there? From reading the description about Russian Armed Forces in the arma2 website that was what was said. But then we see US vs Russia again..hence.. I really like the idea of the civil war, i really do, but you see too much US vs Russia it kinda gets boring and annoying..

That war wasn't something we wanted, we went there for the right reason, to fight back and protect the citizens/civilians who were intentionally targeted, Georgia attacked incident civilians bombing them with artillery and rockets.Georgia wanted to start a new cold war and claim Territory which didnt belong to them, the president "cough" Mikheil Saakashvili thought he could get US to back up Georgia against Russia. He knew georgia would'nt win and solely believed US would help its little ally. When US said no, that was the end for georgia.. Russia did'nt start the war , Georgia did, there are many reasonable factors to consider. The fact is in politics US is always potrayed positively by western media and russia always negatively.. you don't hear the truth until you find about the result..

Because it would be a more targeted on a realistic issue nowday's, War against Terror, Realistically there was no action saw between russia and america during the cold war, maybe a few soviet pilots in the vietnam war. Both Russia and America fought in proxy wars during the cold war. USSR in Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan , US in Vietnam War. Both Countries supplied arms,funds to nations that would fight against their enemy. Now days if you read articles and such. Since Obama's win, both Russia and US now have been working on a way of cooperating in afghanistan and both nations are willing to improve and stablize their relationship.

Yea i wouldn't mind that, i know it wouldn't sell in the west, but just in my opinion im against such ideas. I know my opinion won't matter really but it won't stop me enjoying ArmA 2, so ill still play it. If you think about it most people ive talked to even alot of americans are sick of the cold war plot, they want to see a middle eastern conflict. OFDR has a plot where russia and us are cooperating against the chinese, but that also is somewhat an eye towards the chinese. I always liked the idea of rainbow six games with their mixed organizations. ArmA 1 had SLA and i didn't mind, RAC and SLA were both fictional nations, same for ArmA 2 Chernarus is a fictional nation, it could of been a nation that US could of fought against... but i guess that would be not a great idea. I will still be waiting for arma 2 when it releases over here in NZ, i am a bit disappointed about the storyline, and if you think about it quite a few russians ive talked to are upset. Its the fact that we don't hate US or whatever, its the fact that the way developers potray russia and russians in games.. same in WW2 games, the germans are potrayed.. , where have we seen one game where americans are bad? the answer is none..zip..zero?, the reason for that is because the world is americanized , im sorry if i am offending anyone here and my intention is not to, but if you look at how media,gaming,movies etc is running, you will see that everything is targeted on america

I didn't say Counter Terroism i said Middle East Conflict...., it can work and it has before..

Agreed! Why carry the cold war spectrum anyways? Its over.. , alot of my clanmates and me agree on this issue, we should of seen russians and americans fighting against terroists. Not another cold war. The Simple fact is alot of developers tend to take the Idea that the easy attractive and money making scenario would be Russia Vs US, now personally i disagree with what plot the developers do, i am somewhat offended because somehow i always see the developers potraying russians as a power hungry nation. That isn't true, now days Russia is different, building a better relationship with US. Everything is about US i swear, because thats where they attract alot of American Gamers. Hopefully there will be a mod in the future such as a Middle Eastern Conflict mod! or a Chechenya Mod which hopefully i grab on and play. I disagree with the developers story line but what can i do?..nothing.. give it 10 years and we will see what kind of games will come out with their plots. Alot of developers are still on the mind set of the Cold War.. heh...

wow nice screenies there fromz :P, maybe upload a video if possible? Could you show me some more? you running it on a 4200+ Dual core? what speed? im surprised it works pretty well..

IMO why do you need such a powerful PC? why not save $$ :P? Personally i wish i could get x2 cards but i can't afford it. Im a 17 year old high school student who makes only $70 NZD a week.., use to make $200 but business sucks at the moment. plus i give away half to help out my family. I make my money mostly through buying stuff cheap and selling on trademe (nz version of ebay) for higher. Lol if only i was a millionaire hell better be a trillionaire, i wonder what kind of PC i could build with $100,000 USD. :D Im selling my xbox 360 which i don't play so i could save up for possible future upgrades if needed.

what does the model detail do? what about shadows on medium? i play arma with low shadows and medium AA and really dont see much difference between high on them. Do you know what FPS i might get if i run on 1024x768? say everything high but 1KM distance, and a few things on medium like AA and AF,Shadows?. I wanna have Post Processing on High though. What settings do you have for yourself?

Need feedback ^

Specs?

17Inch Samsung LCD Monitor, I will be running it on a 1024x768 Resoultion, and turning Fillrate maybe 120-130% but Shadows Low, View Distance on 500m-1KM, but i wanna run most of the things on high. I just ordered this today http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161259 So hopefully it will give me a better fps/performance boost in ArmA 2 :)? What you think?

I still need advice on this ^

IMO ArmA 2 will be a Piece of Cake.. run it probably very high with 25-40 FPS. What ghz speed is your CPU?

Hi Placebo can you change my Username from russianguy192 to Spetsnaz please :)

You won't be able to run it very well at all, you need to upgrade your GFX card and CPU.

Will Bohemia Release more patches to improve system performance? I have'nt got ArmA 2 yet, but from reading everyone's opinions and reviews, alot of people are saying they are having low fps or performance problems. Will Bohemia release a patch in the future to help optimize arma 2 better for performance like they did with 1.16 for ArmA? They said it runs much better than arma but alot of people are still seeming to have problems even with the latest hardware and all. So will we get to see a patch? or the released version of arma 2 in europe and north america/worldwide which will be more stable and have better performance on systems?

i run a 3850 at 100% 24/7, i am so use to it now that temps dont even go over 50c under load or 35-40 idle. I use RivaTuner!

I ordered this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161259 So its alot quiet and cooler! and these are my specifications at the moment mate AMD Athlon Windsor AM2 6000+ 3.29ghz Dual Core 4GB Patroit DDR2 800Mhz ( Now 667Mhz ) Gigabyte GA-M56S-S3 Motherboard HIS HD ATi Radeon 3850 512MB PCI-E Thermaltake Silent Purepower 560W 300GB SATA HDD Windows XP Proffesional SP3 32bit

so can someone reply about my specs. If i switch from a HiS ATi Radeon HD 512MB PCI-E 3850 to a HiS ATi Radeon HD 4850 512MB PCI-E , it will have better performance? I wanna the game at high-very high with a decent fps around 25-45 My resoultion will be 1024x768 on my 17Inch LCD Monitor

nothing your all set! you will be able to run it on high-very high settings just not max. you probably get 25-40 fps

any mods running that altering the language?

Wow... i have same card ,4gb of ram but a 3.3ghz dual core processor.., would you mind to show me some screenshots of your performance and graphics. Its hard to believe you get 30+ FPS??, cause most people with higher end cards ive talked to have had less fps and trouble with the game itself..

upgrade your GFX card then we will see..

ok so i decided to order a HiS ATi Radeon 4850 512MB PCI-E Card.. to replace my 9 month old 3850. so will this run much better now at high-very high settings? at 1024x768.
