I bought myself a new base unit a couple months ago - AMD x2 3800 2gb ddr800 x1950xtx been running most games top quality with no troubles, even flight sim X is playable. I bought armed assault ignoring all the warnings from a few friends that it isnt very good, its buggy etc etc. So I install the game and patch it, then start to play. when I first get into the game I do a double take to make sure I have actually purchased armed assault and not operation flashpoint 1985 because it looks more or less the same(only difference I noticed was it is more blurry and the characters have got proper shaped bodies and heads not the rectangle ones from 1985). this left me slightly miffed. but i thought i would give it a chance. I started to play the campaign. the news reporter doesnt even wear a flak jacket in the middle of a warzone wtf? lol. anyway after starting the game proper i hear orders coming through the radio which sound like someone is literally pressing a fast forward button they are incomprehensible. i shoot my gunn and the radio starts to skip and follow the sound of the machine gun rofl. the fps i was getting was about 16 to 25 on 1360x768 normal detail with no AA or ansio. I actually started laughing at how pathetic this was. I thought i'd try putting everything on LOW and res at 640x480 now you know you have a completely unpolished hacked together game engine if the FPS is still 16 to 25 whcih it was on these settings. I actually laughed so hard that the arma dvd flew out of the drive and into the path of an oncoming truck, weird eh?!
p.s. save ur cash and your memories of OPF1985, dont buy this piece of crap
p.p.s sorry for the awful punctuation grammar sentence construction, I just thought i'd put as much effort into this review as BI put into Arma.
Armed Assault so far....
in ARMA - GENERAL
