Don't get Bioshocked ! http://kotaku.com/gaming....046.php

Oh man, MAFIA1 was great game. A lot better than GTA. Can't wait for MAFIA2.

Those screens made me cum. Good job, BIS! I will buy collector's edition as I did with Arma!

Well i tried it today and i liked everything except for the shooting itself, its nice that we can use iron sights and turn the crosshairs off but it didnt feel as nice as ArmA, way too 'static' IMO. And i was quite dissapointed that the maps were very thing and long, it made it more or less impossible to get lost which is a shame. Its also a shame that the maps are way too 'filled', every 5 steps you run into an anomaly or a NPC. Trust me, shooting gets better as you progress on. You will get upgraded rifles with better accurace, more damage, and sniper scopes. Right now I have 4 rifles and one of them is upgraded one with scope. I can do headshots easily. They put crap weapons in first levels on purpose. And yeah, there are lots of anomalies but they're useless. To get the best artifacts you need to explore for them. Same goes for upgraded weapons and suits. I think this game is very realistic. It encourages you to approach the enemy carefully and not always engage them. For example, in HL2 you can take out the whole building of enemies without much effort but not in Stalker. In STALKER, I prefer to run away rather engage the soldiers. Also, ARENA fights are simply awesome. One of the few games where I enjoy fighting against bots. Graphics are top notch. Environments in DX9 with full shadows own. Luckily, my rig manages to pull off 20-30 stable fps. btw, I change my opinion. this game is THE GOTY!

Don't get fooled by Messiah2's comments. This game is very good but not GOTY. As a fan of OFP I can tell you that shooting is great, and environments are awesome. If you like urban combat you will love stalker. AI is superb, however, it also tends to be stupid sometimes but every game that tried to make revolutionary AI had this. Anyway, if you like easy shooters with space and stuff you might not like it. However, as you read this forum you probably like hard stuff so my bet you might like it. I personally give it 8/10. It's a solid game with awesome atmosphere and nice shooting moments.

My copy has arrived!! http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/4615/armacollectorsts4.jpg Still, I'll buy UK version when it's released.

How is the chopper/aircraft handling ? Is it anything close to Battlefield 2 ?

Sounds like BIS didn't bother much when making CTI. My hope goes to mfcti and crcti makers.

Plz include ""The Making of the Arma" in English version.

I decided to preorder German version from buyarma. I simply don't have the patience to wait for English version.

urghh I want it so bad, will get collector's edition. Money is not a problem

I found OFP in August issue of PC Gamer. Advertising is very important, and it will be said if they won't find a publisher in USA. I think all major publishers have reserved spots in gaming magazines.

As long as download speed will be above 500kb/sec I will buy online and then burn on CD. I couldn't care less about box and manual. I always throw them away. The faster I get Arma the better!

Thanks arma.pl for nice screenshots!

Those screens make me sad..if I ever received copy of pre-release Arma, I would sure to release over 200 pics with quality turned on to the highest detail, and AA+AF to the maximum. (my rig - AMD4000, 2gb ram, 7800gt)

I disagree. Lack of JIP contributed to small number of OFP players. Most of newbies, and potential good players, might get turned off by OFP style of server, and will move on to other games. Imho, option to turn on/off JIP is the best compromise.

No, it's a cute kitty from catsthatlooklikehitler.com. I found it funny, but if it's against the rules I will remove it. Just tell me.

When you check the Powerpoint presentation I linked above you will find a point stating that no shot of an ATGM against US forces was reported and no Kornet was found in the whole country. (which does not neccessarily means that did not happen or exist...) I meant the conflict in Lebanon.

As far as I know, most of damage was inflicted by RPG29 vampyre and ATGM - Kornet. Regular RPG-7s won't do much damage to modern armor unless it's a lucky shot. However, RPG-7 is not limited to warhead capacity. It can be used to mount wide range of all kinds of warheads with different armor piercing capacity, ranging from anti-infantry rockets to huge Tandem anti-reactive armor rockets.

One thing I would like for BIS to include is realistic throttle control for Arma aircrafts. I plan on getting X-52 joystick, and plan on using that joy to full extent.

Feel free to add your mod here http://www.armedassault.org/compone....t_id,43

these guys need to learn how to turn on antialiasing

Talking about AI. Yesterday Ive played GRAW OGR coop for several hours. And damn, AI is impressive there...they get behind cover, and don't run around like crazy. Meh, I guess it's too late to demand AI makeover.
