yeah game 2 is where the realism is at! IMO they popped the hood to see the enigine of the HUMMV?! I mean if thats true then thats Ofp damned awesome!

You forgot the dates before... 2004...late 2005... etc. S.D. Armed Assault has been in production and announced at 2005,it didn't exist in 2004,possibly as a rumor but nothing official. To be honest I don't think the games late or anything,some games take up to three years to make,and then of course I'm sure somebodies going to throw out there "Well EA can pop off games in months" or so...well EA has produced a few good games,but,and I'm sorry for those of you being fans of BF2,but it being the most modern and having the most 'in common' with OFP/Armed Assault,I have no choice. Okay lets take vanilla Battlefield 2,it was done,had several maps,several weapons and three teams,also several vehicles,with a few variations between the two. Now lets take special forces,there were several people issuing complaints that it was more CPU demanding,it had 6 or 7 maps and another set of weapons that could even be played with in vanilla once unlocked. The added things however were generally useless,night vision. Okay in night vision you have somewhat the ability to see in the dark,but even the slightest light on a metal or so would give too much reflection,and night vision in helicopters was near useless,damn dark brownish red.... Then came European uhh..something...a pretty big failure,alot of people said the voice acting was terrible,it added 3 weapons and a few more maps,and one side,then of course armored fury and who knows whats next.. Anyway looking past that,alot of people for some reason like to compare EA to Bohemia,quite an unfair comparing if you ask me,as EA is a worldwide company with a massive amount of staff that are overcharged hours and underpaid for them,while at the same time releasing more and more things while the higher ups screw up the employees trying to be nice,the crash to desktop bf2 bug as an example,thats supposed to be fixed in the next patch. Bohemia is obviously not that,a much much smaller staff taking their time to create more realistic games,yes they don't offer the best graphics such as Crytek or EA,but thats what makes Bohemia special,as they stated and as I'v seen myself,these days everyone is trying to make the next gen GRAPHIC game,focusing usually on only graphics. However Bohemia is moreso wanting gameplay over graphics. They also release a large amount of images,be it beta or not,and why? Well obviously we are heard one way or another and they are trying to please the community by doing so,they don't simply tell us everything that will be in it for a suprise factor probably. And its obvious that their not simply after our money,had that been the case,Armed Assault would have been released long ago. When games are rushed they come out half baked,when food comes out half baked its not so good,same with games,it will be done when its done and thats all there is to it,so asking things "when will it be released?" when you already have leads to such things is pointless. And Placebo said the suprise will have nothing to do with Armed Assault. well said man i agree totaly. In the early years that OFP came out and before it did i didn't pay attention to the community, so what has BiS done in the way of a "surprise" or "trickery" or "play games"? I would like to know to fully understand what Bis is capable(sp?) of.

Because Starforce has an increasingly nasty habit of "integrating" its self with your entire operating system. I've heard reports of starforce disabling LEGAL copies of Nero (and other cd/dvd burning apps) because it/they could potentially be used to create pirate copies... Oh, and most importantly: well F**k that!

yeah hence his name guys... i would love that it would be as realistic as possible (lol just remembering the old Cardboard BiS Blackhawk lol)

Q3 => July, October, September. we are already in Q3. choose a date. hmm skips August eh? LOL

it all comes down to that doesnt it? lol Nice vid. and infact anything about ArmA is great!

yeah ofp's destruction is better than that...

thats why i set it to normal, hence the name... lol

idk but is that even possible in OFP?

heh yeah no cover at all... i hope the island is not one of those features that are in the 70% complete range

ah thats a disapointment, although ArmA is 70% done there. Even this image looks a little like the first (no improvement that i can tell[except the pretty trees and such but still the ground]) .. I hope the addons for Ofp dont stop when ArmA comes out...

how so? new vid card, CPU, 2gb RAM, and all that good stuff..

yup thats correct... when i went to Morroco to see where they made BHD (dont ask) the fonds swayed and imo trunks rarely sway unless its a major storm.

WHAT ? Are you kidding ? All the ofp community think that the surprise was ARMA related. You said it was Arma related to Espectro for Armedassault.net. And you have never tell that it was NOT Arma related... So, it's why i dont understand ! Do you want a revolution or an insurection ? Please explain yourself on that point. Placebo doesnt have to explain himself...and he did already mention it wasnt for ArmA. way before the other websites wrongfully stated it was for armed assault.

As I have already made clear, the surprise is not ArmA related. yeah you did say that i dont know why alot of people keep thinking otherwise...

yeah i had to upgrade the other day in anticipation for Armed Assault.

yeah seriously, do you think i could create a whole battlefield on AA? Last night on OFP I even populated the whole of Nogova with enimies (Zombies), random vehicles, random weapons, and with minimal lag my friend and i had a 4 hour survival themed game, AA cant even touch OFP let alone ArmA.

heh. What has happened to porter and his rather funny friend frank? only the BiS gods know lol

Yeah and the different soldier models. When you look at the non-addon/mod Reg. OFP, it only shiped with the soldier, officer, SF, pilot, Crew, Sniper and civilian models. (medic is just a cross texture addon to the soldier model). What im looking forward to seeing is the possiblity of the different models for each side, including civilian. i like how bis keeps us wondering as it keeps the freshness high and disapointment low.

Yes 20 FPS in OFP is horrible for me, I'm used to frame rates in the 40's for large CTI's. I'd agree, below ~40 FPS any change is noticeable. Above 40FPS however, there really isnt (since the human eye can only really percieve ~30FPS this seems a bit odd, but those extra frames really help make the experience seem smooth, especially when moving) Anyho, I'd rather sacrifice a little bit of model detail (over view distance) to sustain a decent FPS. Afterall, when are you ever going to see that metal grille or the soldiers eyelids other than in "combat-whore-tography" or the odd cutscene? And I don't know about you guys, but I'm all about blowin shit up. yeah i sorta exagerated... but hell im used to 6-11 fps on ofp with all settings turned down so you can see that if i can get 20 fps, im happy... but lets hope that changes when i order a new pc soon...

For starters you can guarentee that the streaming code in the demo is not fully optimized, if BIS can get Nogova working on the Xbox with its measly 64Mb of RAM I'm sure they can get an island 16 times the size to work nicely on a PC with 256Mb of RAM. Secondly, seriously people you can NOT expect a game with the level of detail of ArmA to run at 100+ FPS on MAXIMUM detail settings on todays hardware. OFP couldn't be maxed when it came out (in some respects it still can't be maxed out) I really wonder about some people when they expect things to look photo realistic AND run at eye-watering FPS'. The tech is getting there, but it'll take a while yet. Following on from that point, its common for games these days to run into the gigabytes of data. If you want photo realistic textures, then you're going to have to use some HDD space. People REALLY need to stop jumping on the "OMG BIS SUCKZ0RS!!1!!11!!!1!!!" bandwagon. Their software is miles ahead of ANYTHING out there, so its bound to have "issues." PLUS its a DEMO i.e. an early version of the code. There are plenty of billboards in the demo saying "this area isnt finished, so dont send me bug reports" the same goes for the code. Come on people, BIS made OFP, give them some credit where its due... nicely put again deadmeat... You are absolutly right, i keep telling people, it doesnt matter if you got a 7800 you wont get 100fps, and really folks can you tell between 20 and 50 fps? On the note of the ofp2.info Polish article, It is obviously based on old hence the "Press demo" came out a while back. The new method of picking up weapons i did not like hearing, but like other things they were probobly not worring about how someone picks up a weapon just yet . Besides, that demo was only 75% complete  . (Just remember the latest ArmA press release. Bis has made obvious changes.

agreed

Yeah dont give in Bis and cheers to the next 5 years.

Well, as far i can see it's still the "FROG-RUN". lmao bout the scene where bout hundred of them doin the Frog-Run Please BIS, new Animation for running and new Weapon-view!!! the frog run was when the gun was pointed up and they were hopping if you keep watching towards the end you can tell that its side to side...

just in case anyone have not noticed yet, the Armed Assault Tech demo here it is: Armed Assault Tech Demo w/ Screenshots It looks pretty sweet with the new animations for sprinting, im really enjoying what im seeing! BiS is really comming together and the scale is enormous! did you see how many guys were running accross the screen?! Man and the hands on how they wrap around the weapon in this screenshot. Well its time to create that mod ive always been wanting to create...
