* We will NOT have thermal sights, the game DO use HDR lightning, so it can be modable. * Weapons can be configured with different configs. For example silences * We will still be able to use custom faces in both SP and MP * Ironsights is 3D * TrackIR will function for both soldiers on ground, but it is also implemented for crew members in vehicles. * Inventory is incriesed and it is made easier to use it while in combat * Ingame voice is implemented in Armed Assault like in OFP, but will also work using sockets (not directplay - red). * Flightmodel is greatly increased, and BI is calling it "semi-realistic" - so you can easy spot a "newbie" among more experienced pilots. * The sound engine have been redone. Soundwaves can get blocked by obstacles such as hills etc. Sound-speed is still modelled of course. * Wound-textures and injury-system is still the same as OFP(so far). * Island size is above 400 km2 - Terrain will be very different on different locations on the island. * ArmA is based upon the same engine as VBS2 * We will probably see a new ArmA trailer later on. * You will be able to 'chop' down a tree * Artellery will be available - Paul doesn't know how, but he sure knows it's there * You can have thousands of soldiers in a mission on the same time Source: armedassault.eu

We are propably going to have a decent T-80 addon within the first week.

Aww, I can't wait to play some forest action.

Luckly new techonology gets cheaper by time.

I'm pretty sure. In OFP, we got two types of Blackhawk, one with FFURs and one with a machine gun, so I don't see why we wouldnt get both versions of Stryker.

It wouldn't ruin the CTI if you could have at least 1000 ppl playing on the server. Maybe by the time Game 3 comes out we can have so good hardware which can ensure that.

That pic with the long sleve, how old id it? Never seen it before. Looks great.

Well of course BIS and BIA shares their work, in this case BIS gave the models and textures to BIA, or who know, maybe BIA gave it to BIS.

Uh-oh, wonder how it will run with Celeron 2.4 Ghz.

Is it possible that those VBS2 pics are render shots? That was the first thing that came to my mind after being extremely impressed.

A little bit off-topic, but did you see the new shots from VBS2? If not, you can see them at BIS' website. MY question is: are those renders? Are we really going to have that great flora? Because if those are not renders, or the flora will be that cool, I'm gonna be friggin happy. Hell, they look even better than Crysis!! http://www.virtualbattlespace.com/images/pr1.jpg http://www.virtualbattlespace.com/images/pr2.jpg

That bus really owns. I'm really wondering how huge Paradiso will be.

I've downloaded it, played it and liked it. Altough I pick servers randomly, and go kill on my own. I think I'm an average player, my k/d is about equal. Sometimes I kill ppl at about 50 meters with 1 shot, sometimes I can't hit someone 3 meters away from me. The close combat can be real awkward if the ppl are having rifles. Everyone missing all shots until finally someone hits with his..like 5th shot. Firing with machine guns are real fun, finally a game in which machine guns are accurate like in RL! The fact that I have to deploy the MG is really nice, though it was a problem for me that I can only reload while deployed. The other thing I really love is the tank battles. Usually I go alone, stop at a good spot and hope in the gunning seat. Mostly 1 hit is enough, but if unlucky it can take even 5 shots to take out a tank(yes, I know there are different type of tank out there :P). Reload time is very important, once I was hit first, but shot back fast, and I was still able to shoot the second shot sooner than the hostile, so I destroyed them. It's a bit annoying that I can't use the mouse to move the cannon, though that's only a problem when trying to kill infantry. Well...that's all for now. Don't flame me if I wrote something bull****, I'm just boy telling some experience. The game is awesome, go ahead and play it!

Nice, too bad they are low res. The second pic is my fav.

That's from the E3 single player video.

I OFP, if you turn off smokes, and throw a smoke grenade, the soldiers behind will not be drawn...or at least that's what i've heard.

Yup, I hate those too. But anyways, there's no doubt custom faces will be supported. A facegen would be real cool, but you can make ugly faces with that too.

This thread is pointless. I'm looking most forward to ArmA ATM, because it'll be released soon, but Game2 will be a lot more fun than ArmA with the dynamic campaign and RPG style gameplay. Edit: voted for Game2 though.

really? hmmm well i do need to give my F5 key a rest. Yup. "I have been testing this VBS1 Lite for a week now, and it is a very nice stand alone game, a nice hold over till Armed Assault is officially released." Plus it's only 20 bucks. Soo...they propably made it to keep us playing with while waiting for ArmA, while waiting for Game2.

It's supposed to be keeping us down until ArmA comes out, which is just a few months, so I can forgive that.

Woah, Game 2's flora is a lot better than ArmA's. When you compare ArmA to Crysis, the first thing you notice is that ArmA's flora is very poor compared to Crysis, but Game2 will pwn Crysis, yay I'm so happy.

Maybe we'll have Crysis level graphs in Game2. It would be the *perfect* game then.

I wouldn't mind that. I just hope they will finish everything, especially the modular AI. Until then, I'll play BF2142.

About the competiton, is it possible that the northerns jacked the Abrams?

The new cover is awesome!!!
