Very good to hear.

While I completely understand where you're coming from Grim, I'd rather not have a mod close the only thread dedicated to the console version of ArmA2. PLEASE stop being confrontational with teh modz.

Just because BIS took 'next gen consoles' off the listed platforms on their site doesn't mean they canceled production of the console version. Maybe they were sick and tired of getting e-mails asking when the console versions would be finished. Maybe they took it off because the console versions won't be released until late next year. Who knows? But BIS has stated a desire to make a console port on several occasions in several interviews, and unless BIS makes an official announcement that confirms that the console versions have been scrapped I will continue to wait for a console port of ArmA 2. /rant

Do you happen to know where I can buy/download the ArmA soundtrack?

I'm trying to find a particular song online. I know it was the theme song for the original OFP, but this version sounds different, like its newer and possibly higher quality. Maybe its the theme song from ArmA1, I don't know. I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me the song title and what game its from and i'd REALLY appreciate it someone could provide me with a download link. Anyway, here's the song I'm looking for :

Don't worry about it. They can't formally comment about a console port until they've found a publisher for the console port. Apparently they haven't. As soon as they do they will let us know.

That makes me happy in the pants.

I just saw a horrible post from a forum mod on the official OFPDR forums. It goes something like this : "CM are not trying to mimic OFP1, that point alone will say that OFP2 has to be different to what extent, CM have said they are taking a different direction and one that opens up a game that had a narrow target audience and make it more accessible. This game was delayed many times and it is apparent that the title is on the home run, which means launch Autumn (Fall) 2009, like it or not the release date can not change what is coming. I personally like the new look, the old one was dated & difficult to say the least. It's more serious than COD & it's clones, it's less of a nightmare than ARMA 1 & OFP 1." The preceding post is one the worst things I've ever heard. And the sad thing is that I feel that the forum mod's post reflects the views of CM on OFPDR. I won't throw OFPDR to the side just yet, but I'm EXTREMELY worried with how that game is turning out. ArmA 2, on the other hand, impresses me every time I see low-quality gameplay footage on YouTube. I can't wait for ArmA 2 on the XB360!

I played OFP: Elite with a few friends of mine. I wasn't in any group so to speak.

I was just talking shit whilst masquerading as a mainstream gamer and throwing in an Aliens reference for good measure ('cause Aliens rocks). Apparently it worked very well. :) Don't get me wrong. I played the original OFP on PC along with Red Hammer and Resistance AND OFP: Elite on XB. And I can't express how much I valued teamwork in versus and co-op. I guess I was just bored. I'm so sick of run-and-gun mainstream shooters and I DESPERATELY need ArmA 2 (preferably for XB360).

I want the game to get a publisher and be released for the XB360 SO FUCKING BAD! Its been years since I've played the original OFP and I needz mah fix! When ArmA 2 does eventually come out for XB360, I'm gonna pwn so many noobz. I don't mean to brag, but I AM the ultimate badass.

True. But you also have to take into account the Iraqi freedom fighters/guerrillas/insurgents that AREN'T targeting civilians (even if they're a minority).

This thread is epic. @ The OP : You can do just about anything with the mission editor. Concerning the terrorist vs freedom fighter debate : IMO, A terrorist is someone who uses acts of violence against anyone and everyone (including civilians) in order to instill fear to achieve their goal. A freedom fighter is someone who uses acts of violence against government forces/military forces (who are oppressing the civilian population) in order to achieve their goal (which is to make the quality of life for the civilian population better).

I agree completely.

I'm sure most of you have heard recently that OFPDR will not have free look and will have stereotypical red explosive barrels placed around the game. I'm sure you've also heard that the damage system allows you to take a direct head shot without major damage. I just found this and my hopes and dreams for OFPDR are near death. http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5291889&postcount=52

This vid has single-handedly convinced me that ArmA 2 will be the best shooter for the next decade simply because of how epic it is.

I know it hasn't been "OFFICIALLY" announced' date=' but Marek Spanel did say that he wanted to bring ArmA 2 to the consoles and he also said that OVERALL the PC gaming market is going down hill (mainly due to piracy) and a console release makes sense financially. But don't take my word for it. Listen to it from the horse's mouth : [b']PLAY AT 4:16[/b] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgkkkKgRSU4&feature=channel_page

That blew me away as well. In all honesty, that is the BEST presentation of war I've ever seen in a video game. The footage makes me sad because I'll never experience that many units on-screen for the XB360 version (I can't afford PC gaming), but at least I'll have that EPICLY awesome gameplay that BIS is known for.

From the mouth of Marek Spanel himself, CEO of BIS : PLAY AT 4:16 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgkkkKgRSU4&fmt=18

Incorrect. That is footage of the Debug Kit for the XB360. The Debug Kit is PC compatible since the game itself is first developed on a PC for the XB360. That is why you see a mouse cursor. Also, on the bottom of the screen you will see the "ABXY" XB360 button scheme.

Debug Kit video footage never lies : http://www.gamestar.de/index.cfm?pid=452&pk=12176 http://www.gamestar.de/index.cfm?pid=452&pk=12150 http://www.gamestar.de/index.cfm?pid=493&pk=12175

You're right, there is. Don't I feel stupid now. :pet1: Thanks.

So does that mean that a console port isn't even confirmed or just the console port release date? Because I saw an interview a while back where one of the ArmA2 devs confirmed a console port. Actually, I think I have it. Here it is : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgkkkKgRSU4&fmt=18 Thanks for replying btw.

I've been tracking the development of both ArmA 2 and OFPDR and I'm sad to say that I've spent more time following OFPDR than ArmA 2. :( Anyway, my question is this : What is the projected release date for the XB360 version of ArmA 2? Is it this year? I know many will reply with "use the search bar". I did and I couldn't find a definitive answer. Someone please answer my q.

Enjoy. http://www.gamestar.de/index.cfm?pid=452&pk=12176
