    Quote[/b] ]Estimated release date: H1 2006
    So as far as I know, Q4 '06 is pure speculation. yay.gif

    Until we're signed to a publisher all release dates are speculation, whether you read them on official sources or on some obscure online shopping portal smile_o.gif

    So what are "You/BIS" waiting for to sign to a publisher?! Malajn.gif

    hurry up we are not getting any younger... yammer.gif

    I don’t have a map of the whole area, but I’ve posted what I do have here. If anyone has a bigger map with more of the local islands, feel free to post it in the comments.

    looks like the island it self is bigger then this one we see  in this page biggrin_o.gif

    yay.gif

    right? icon_rolleyes.gif

    I hope they change/add the view effect using the joystick.

    what i mean is:

    when you pilot a chopper/plane etc.. using the joystick, you use the top button to look arround

    , ie,

    in old ofp when we use this "button" to look to sides the image return to center, its quite anoying if you wanna look in an angle like 35ÅŸ and keep it in that angle.

    The image should keep that angle and shouldnt return to center (foward view) like it does.

    I would like to see these improvement in ARMED ASSAULT. Plz.

    Today is April 2nd, so we can go back ontopic please.

    how can we go ontopic if "YOU" dont give us some Recent Official information about ARMA..

    we only can comment on video and we all know thats useless to talk about "old" video.

    give us some recent information and concrete information about ARMA, the recent one.

    With Armed Assault being said to have even more scripting possibilities and a mission editor (at least) on par with the old one, I wouldn't worry about game modes. Your fantasy's the limit.

    im very glad to explore those w00t.gif

    I really hope editor with much more options. smile_o.gif

    As the video in question wasn't made by us, or released by us and contains very old footage and content, I think it's not important for it to have a separate thread beyond where it's being discussed.

    When there is an official BIS trailer/video released by all means create a separate thread for it smile_o.gif

    see..? whistle.gif

    Cant wait... yay.gif

    Reading all the comments here, I must admit I feel highly unimpressed by the video.

    I reckon it is not the most recent one and I guess that many of true ARMA features are yet to be shown. BIS likes to keep us guessing, anyway. But, what I see is far from being level with OFP + ECP/DMA Packs at the very least. This is why I really think this is just something to keep us guessing.

    Keep faith, lads...

    i agree!

    in any case its imperative we keep Criticising ARMA in good or bad way, in order to improve THE game! wink_o.gif

    RELEASE the ORIGINAL Video nener.gif

    it will be very welcome.gif

    here it comes the WAR PLASTIC!

    I agree with:

    *Holding my breath, I take my moderator hat off*

    OK, here is my opinion. I've watched the video twice now, and will probably watch it again.

    I honestly see nothing different in AA than OFP, save for everything now gleams in the sunlight, helicopters getting shot down look a little bit prettier and you now have the option to skip and jump your way around the battlefield. Also, view distance looks like it's improved a bit.

    From what I can see, the armor modelling hasn't changed, tanks zig-zag as a substitute for seeking real cover, the AI hasn't appreciably changed, the equipment is obsolete (there are no Vulcans anymore, and haven't been since about 1992, not to mention M21 sniper rifles, XM-177E2 rifles and M72 LAWs), the battles are still mad rushes with little or no military thought involved, and the animations are unchanged.

    I've seen many references to VBS in the promotions of Armed Assault - primarily from unofficial sources, though - yet I see no kind of influence at all. Sure, it looks like a lot of the models were pulled out of VBS and tweaked a bit, but overall I get the impression that AA is OFP with an unneeded facelift. I've seen absolutely nothing new involving gameplay in that entire 7 minute long video. The US Army pack for VBS looks far superior to anything I've seen in AA thus far (note: I don't have the US Army pack, so I can't say that for absolute certain).

    The essence of what I'm saying - none of the core gameplay shortcomings of OFP appear to have been addressed. I see no multigunners, no evidence of all weapons available on all vehicle classes, no moving around in vehicles, no swimming, and no proper grass (eyecandy tufts don't really count).

    And for that, I'm very dissappointed. It looks like someone watched Black Hawk Down a few too many times and decided to throw as much of that movie as possible into the game.

    I understand that this video is from a beta/tech demo. Hopefully its a lot older than I think it is. I also understand that AA is kind of an interim bridge between OFP and not a revolutionary new product, but in this video I don't see evidence of any of the improvements we've read about in the recent interviews.

    I dunno - I guess this is why BIS keeps so quiet. A bone gets offered and then chewed up by the pack who only want more. I hope there's more evidence of improvements in AA in the coming weeks. Of course all of us on the forum are going to buy this, if anything JIP is worth that price, but what is lacking in AA when it ships means we have to wait that much longer for the community to create it.

    *End rant*

    I second that, all of it. Unfortunately.

    My biggest hit in that video is the AI. Actually despite the recent bragging about being able to make super intelligent AI and so on, these AI act nothing like real soldiers when under fire. See for example the scene of 3 AI standing around in safe mode, and this XM opening fire on them. That is NOT how soldiers react IRL. that's what you do in an execution. Get your fag from your pocket and wait to be shot.

    Also notice all of the other reactions of AI to incoming fire. THey have no concept of geting low and being surpressed and surpressing back if possible. This doesn ot mean aiming perfectly before you open fire.... sheesh

    Damage effects sems same. Sounds pretty much identical. Little cover in the field, hopefully blasts no longer go through walls invisibly. And is there any building destruction yet.

    The only impressive things in that video to me: Destructable bridge effects, swaying trees and stuff, some ambient animals, switching of soldiers OPTIONS, and possibly ricochet on tank MG bullets.

    Oh my, this is really not good news. smile_o.gif

    Wonder if we can have a real loadout yet, or if there is loadout fatigue etc.

    and more other users.

    I also beleave this is an old video!

    Must be! Im sure we will not have this game at our homes.

    I think BIS want us to know the opinion of old ARMA the old version..

    There will come something we didnt see yet... wink_o.gif

    I dont want Plastic War Game!
