Looks awesome, I assume this is going to be a movie only, and not an actual campaign?

Single player takes up more horsepower because it's managing the AI and scripts. Nothing you can do but hope for optimization.

By the patch, I suppose you mean the dual core optimizer 1.1.4? http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/dynamicDetails.aspx?ListID=c5cd2c08-1432-4756-aafa-4d9dc646342f&ItemID=153 No, I am not using that right now. It causes random freezes while at the desktop. There are also reports of this so called patch making peoples games actually run much slower...

Phew, thanks!

Hi there. Currently I have an AMD Windsor 3.2Ghz @ 3.3Ghz 1mb cache dual core. My performance sucked in this game, so I ordered a 3Ghz Phenom 2 quadcore which I plan to OC to 3.4Ghz the day it arrives. Now I'm reading that the AI is done on 1 core, and I'm pretty sure a Windsor core is faster than a Phenom 2! Did I just waste 200 bucks? Win XP home Windsor 3.3Ghz 3gig ram Radeon 4870 1gb Audigy 2 Thanks!

Something else just came to mind. When I was assaulting the insurgent main camp during the campaign, one of my guys said in the middle of the fight "did you see that?" "Never mind, must have been nothing." Looked at my map, saw a yellow marker representing a person, but just ignored it as I was fighting. Strange, eh?

I was cruising youtube and stumbled on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqJPcRDaiaM Then I remembered reading forum reports over a year ago that players have spotted Bigfoot in ARMA 1, and some claim to have seen him all the way back in OFP. Modders said Bigfoot was not in the game, because they haven't stumbled upon his model. Others said he could have been hardcoded in to keep him secret and make him the ultimate rare easter egg. Anyone have experience with Bigfoot in ARMA, or is this a hoax?

You're telling me. I just ordered a Phenom II 3Ghz black edition which I plan to OC to 3.4Ghz to PLAY THIS GAME.

This is why I bought it off Steam to avoid copy protection issues.

Ive had BMPs blow up every 20 seconds for 40 minutes.

Whelp, I took the plunge today and purchased ArmA 2 off of Steam, as I was a big fan of the first game. Here are my specs: AMD Windsor 6400+ 3.2Ghz dualcore 1mb cache 3 gig ram Radeon 4870 1gb Audigy 2 7200 RPM HD (soon buying a 10,000 RPM HD) Win XP 32bit I have all settings on normal, with shadows and post processing set to OFF. I play at 1650x1080 as I have a 22inch wide screen. Yet during campaign play, I'm getting around 23 FPS. Is this normal? I have a couple questions here. I have an extra gig of ram I can stick inside my PC, but haven't due to Win XP being 32 bit. Should I anyways? What's holding my FPS back, my GFX card or my CPU? Thanks alot for the help! note: All drivers are up to date and absolute latest versions.
