    * 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 smile_o.gif

    * You can have thousands of soldiers in a mission on the same time

    It would also ruin the game especially playing CTI's in MP, do you have any idea how long it would take you to fly a chopper at full speed from one end to the other on a 400km x 400km island? Forget about using tanks and vehicles if you needed to travel from one side to the other, you would be there all day.

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

    please Placebo,

    If BIA develops VBS , they also develop Arma since they are clearly using Arma/Game2 models and engine... banghead.gif

    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.

    I've downloaded it, played it and liked it. smile_o.gif 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. biggrin_o.gif Firing with machine guns are real fun, finally a game in which machine guns are accurate like in RL! smile_o.gif 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. smile_o.gif The game is awesome, go ahead and play it! firefoxlover.gif

    Quote[/b] ]Maybe it's just me, but it ruins the entire experience when I see some jerk with a clown face or other "funny" faces...

    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. biggrin_o.gif

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

    really? hmmm well i do need to give my F5 key a rest. tounge2.gif

    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. smile_o.gif

    I don't think a Q3 2006 release is still realistic. It's more likely that Armed Assault will be a christmas present for us.

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