well i owned the 3500+ amd athlon 2.21ghz single core for almost 3 years until i oced it and it crashed on me for life, so i had a month waiting for arma 2 and decided to go with a cheap but still decent dual core, new gfx card,4gb of ram and a new motherboard. Im still happy! i don't like spending alot of money on computer parts so i tend to end up on the cheap side! ---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ---------- im not trying to start a war here, but in my honest opinion i think intel cpu's are just too overpriced and i know they are top notch quality!, but why should i go pay more when i can also get more for less with AMD right and still maybe underperform an equivalent intel cpu by maybe a few fps hmm? Only downside i find with AMD is their OCing ability but so far AMD has been improving on that and they will, they are getting there!

nevermind today i went to local ebgames and picked up a powerwave joystick at $40 NZD which was $10 off. So far its pretty good, it also has a realistic motor vibration in it but i dont feel it very much in arma 2. Still makes easier for me to fly helicopters and aircraft.

yep, im still very happy with the 6000+ i ordered. I don't really believe i will see much improvement on arma 2 if i had ordered a quad

I noticed in ArmA 2 that a few weapons such as the Javelin and M136 are very very underpowered compared to say the RPG-7. Also i can only carry 1 missile per 6 slots for the M136 AT rifle and its still weaker compared to the RPG which i can carry 3 missiles instead for 6 slots? Also it takes me 2-3 Javelins to destroy a BMP for example? what the? in ArmA 1 i could completely wipe any APC/Tank or Vehicle with one javelin missile? hmm aren't they supposed to be a one shot one kill wonder? Also the T-90 is completely useless even against T-72's my tank gets destroyed within one hit. I noticed in ArmA 1 the tank system and all was more improvised and it was much more balanced, but i noticed a few of my friends and me while playing ArmA 2 online and on SP that some of the weapons and armor is underpowered and completely useless so it refrains us from using it further. Im not trying to complain , but i just notice that some of the weaponary/armor in the game seems like it was made underpowered and im wondering if anyone else encountered this or noticed this problem?

i was stating the T-72 not the T-90, however the T-90 will still have a similar result even though its gun is a bit more powerful. I notice the M1A2 could take a T-90 out with one hit

Yes it will work of course on any pc and everything will be working, its just under a different publisher

An Agreeable statement. i know the M1A2 is the most powerful tank in the game but the t-90 and t-72 just feel useless against it. I also did a test with an M1A2 against 12 T-72s, guess what the M1A2 managed to destroy at least 6-7 of them till it exploded.

Hmm yea try that but i have the same cpu but i know that ArmA 2 needs more optimization, basically at 25 fps, alot of systems get that even the very power i7-920 systems!

That is very odd, because especially in maps like domination and evolution , alot of people ingame including me experienced the same problem i accounted. I hit a BMP3 with a jav and didnt explode..i really don't know whats up because when i came up close it was damaged but didn't explode

yep then i suppose your going to have to stick to that until further patch, i have same problem. But im thinking maybe OC your CPU a bit more and see how it performs. And in my honest opinion i think its the resoultion killing you.

Shadow set it to normal or disabled and tell me, maybe also try setting Objects Detail and Terrain, Post Processing and Anisotropic Filtering to High. Whats your distance?

are you sure thats correct? because when i tested some of the weapons with a few friends we all had the same results, we are all on patch 1.02..

i don't know but i noticed the same thing with the javelin it would fly off and hit but the vehicle/apc/tank would still remain functioning, i probably gotta do more tests on the editor and set up a soldier with a javelin and test all vehicles/apc's and tanks ingame to see how well the damage system is. Because right now i think some of it is not balanced..

I have same Dual core as you, and i get 20-60 fps, depending on how heavy the mission/map is set to. Have you tried a lower resoultion? whats your settings? also try OCing it by 200mhz it can help. I OCed mine by about 293ghz as it was stable at that. Also i noticed formating and removing other processes can help. Otherwise wait for further patches as the game needs more optimization and alot of people are getting the same results!

are you sure they too strong? they seem pretty week about equivalent to the T-72. I did a test and the t-72!!<<,m1a1 and m1a2 completely wiped it in the first hit which shouldn't happen if its supposed to be more powerful.

just noticed while playing arma 2, i notice were were strange tiny white dots appearing on ground textures and such. they are heavily shown but noticeable..? anyone get them? they seem to appear where the line shows from the texture.. i can try post a screenshot soon.

64bit unless you have more than 4gb of ram

Sweet just got my 4 more extra copies today in mail :), took 3 days only from dispatch date! very fast indeed!

have a setting to increase the LOD of grass

yea the AI is much smarter than in ArmA 1 but the problem im noticing is their response time even with the skill set to max they don't respond as fast especially with pathfinding and all..

Saw it at the Shelves at Local EBGames Store today, it was released today. $119.95 NZD for 505 Games Version, what a rip glad i paid $57.56 NZD for mine and got it early..

I have the same cpu as you at practically 3.3ghz,4gb of ram, but a 4850 card, i run everything practically on very high and get the same fps. You might as well stick with the cpu as upgrading won't benefit you very much but may give you a bit of extra fps maybe 10-15%, the game itself needs more patching ---------- Post added at 06:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 AM ---------- wait does that mean you can run AM3 CPUs on a AM2/AM2+ Motherboard??? :butbut: :butbut:

I am working on a PVP Map so far and can't seem to find a script or figure out how to have unlimited ammo and weaponary in the crate, so when a player picks up the weapon/ammo and the number is 99 it does'nt lower it stays at that number? Is this possible?

Yep i don't get why the terrain is like that, at close up it looks nice but at distance theres completely no grass!!! just trees..

Yes im happy with 25-30 FPS too but i notice when it goes below the 20s thats when the game gets sluggish. Ive done everything you have , reformatted, new OS Windows 7 64bit, registry cleaned,disk defrag after every install, removing all unnecessary processes...
