I think that video is more exciting then the game at the moment.

Pretty boring "dogfight". Why don't the planes turn and try to evade?

Is this a patch for the DEMO or the retail game?

No. lol I mean the online matches are just big empty maps with a handful of people just wandering around aimlessly. Nobody seems to know what to do or where to go. One guy was just spamming the voice commands non-stop for some strange reason.

lol I can't find games with tons of people in it - all I can get into are 12 player games and the maps are so big that 12 players is like playing hide and go seek in the grand canyon...

Any server i try to join that is bigger then 18 players will fail to join me - even if there's a bunch of open spots.

It's running fine on Windows 7 64 for me. I just need a new video card.

Maybe shrink them a little? Takes forever to find someone to shoot at.

Here's my Benchmark Scores: (see sig for system) Very Low Settings: 58 FPS Default Settings: 29 FPS Very High Settings: 19 FPS Obviously, my video card is the bottleneck. However, there were major lag issues and bizarre pop-up issues going on. This game is not ready for retail. It's got MAJOR potential, but it needs lots more work IMO.

Here's a decent breakdown of mid-range Video Cards right now and their performance levels: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-radeon,2326-16.html Keep in mind, NONE of these has been tested against ARMA2 yet... so take it with a grain of salt.

Youtube videos are the reason I even know this game exists. I came across one by accident when I was looking for Battlefield Bad Company 2 videos, and now my whole focus has been altered. I hope this game get's the same level of polish the BF games now have. I'll be hooked instantly.

I would wait a while and see people's benchmarking results before figuring that out. I'm not hoping for much on my 8800 GTS, but I'm not eager to run out to get a new video card either.

Plus - Sandbox warfare gameplay NEEDS graphic updates. The gameplay is always solid in most of these games - it's the realism and attention to details that separates these games now.

To quote Qui-Gon Jin: There's always a bigger fish. I was running a Socket-939 AMD system until last month. I stretched it out over 3 years but games like this and other upcoming games are just too demanding. AT least upgrading is much cheaper now - heck, 6-GB of DDR3 ram is only $100! Take advantage while stuff is cheap IMO.
