"On vacation May 13th-20th, so if you have any problems with the forums contact someone else, I'll be in Croatia fishing!" Hey Placebo, I know that this is not the topic, but greetings from Croatia.

“In the state Arma II is a game that would deeply love if it were not so rotten bugs. We repeat, this preview version is still very far from the final version expected out in late June. So, admittedly, like its predecessor, Arma II has already the support of a community rehearsed by the first episode, but this time it is hoped to play a game finished by the developers and not by its fans.†Interesting conclusion. So, it is the preview version and BIS priority is to polish the game for the final version. Everything else seems great.

Found some very interesting info about OFP2 AI. I'd like to see this features in ArmA 2. "- The AI value their lives and will not just hold their ground if retreat is the best tactical option. - Killing enemy officers who help coordinate the enemy AI will often lead the enemy forces acting in a slower and less cohesive manner. - Both the enemy and your squad have morale systems. They are affected by the perceived quality of their leadership. So, your squad may complain and eventually abandon you if you persist in, for example, running across open fields at machine gun emplacements."

In a game this huge, it doesn't have to be next-gen ragdoll. For example, in my opinion first Far Cry has good physics and it's five years old now.

It would be nice, but only for huge explosions.

Music is fantastic.

I can agree with that.

It's important to make a huge list of available options which can be turned on/off in game difficulty, because this is how BIS can easily attract wide audience without loosing hardcore realism for experienced players. For example, some people won't play ArmA2 because some situations are too realistic for them, but if they can avoid getting killed with one bullet, they would enjoy it. Some "on/off" ideas: zoom option, after healing some part of the body it's not anymore in shape like before getting wounded (decreased accuracy and running).

That's exactly what I meant. Even though OFP2 videos are pre-rendered and they look great, I like ArmA2 atmosphere much more.

In my opinion, OFP2 pre-rendered videos look great, but I love ArmA 2 graphics and atmosphere much more. It looks much more real.

I think this is the biggest problem - the more features / open-world reality etc. we expect, BIS have more problems to solve before releasing their product. In this case, it's not that much about budget. Even Rockstar didn't manage to make perfectly polished GTA4, even though it's the highest budget game today. Because like ArmA2, it contains too much content to be released without any "problems".

Couldn't agree more. You can't have all features in one game, to get rid of bugs and great AI are priority in ArmA 2, everything else is more like a bonus.

No reason for hard feelings. BIS have their reasons for delaying it.

It's not czech and I won't do it anymore
