well actually 60 is where it should be to be "playable" or smoothest experience other than 100+frames. Arma 2 for some reason does not readily reach 60 frames.

Have yet to play Dragon rising but seriously arma 2 just doesnt make me want to keep playing. I admit it is a nice game,maybe a very nice game even but the overall extreme sadist complexity of the game is ridiculous. the controls i mean. It took an age trying to work out how to type for god sakes. Learning curve aside(since its probably a personal problem) the other aspects of this game are pleasing. Graphically it is impressive, when it works. Seemingly it is difficult to even run this game on normal settings. The performance issues are mindblowing, weird loading textures I'm experiencing destroys the experience. Terrible frames equates to a bad experience regardless of the complexity of the game. I hope they give us a huge performance increase asap via a new patch. Gameplay wise, while being somewhat immersive(or could be since frames are terrible) is still plagued by weird ai that stare at walls while prone, run past you at literally one metre away. Other issues include: weird jumping'ish sway of the the aim reticule thing. -when the aimpoint is aimed towards a light source it goes white. wth.

well because arma 2 is a milsim and VBS2 is as mil sim as it gets? so its only logical aht expected that Arma2 is extremely close to vbs2

^ thanks mate! ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS How do mods work in the game? Weapon mods work in multi or singleplayer? What are some trends in multiplayer? What mods do people mostly use in multiplayer?

a little bit of a bump

man, this is a military simulator/fps... wth, if you want sleaze theres plenty of weird pornographic games out there

the original really brings me back, i remember it was just about the coolest game i have ever played at the time. the sounds, the feel when i get a shot on. ahhh

so you er.. decided it would be cool to register an account and post one post like that? mmm. wow anywho, i have yet to get my hands on a copy of DR, though i am excited. opinions seem to be both negative and positive, so dont know what really to think. doubt it will be a game that really turns me off though. ill get alot of fun out of it.

ohh so arrowhead wont be due in for a while? heh i was under the impression it was gonna be released soon. but all's good.

okay thanks for helping out guys. one hopefully final question ARMA 2 now or OPERATION ARROWHEAD? or should i buy both?

there are already reviews. SO there are PREVIEWS and REVIEWS for DR already. i believe the linked ones are reviews. and for the record. both previews and reviews have been quite pleasing. generally anyway.

aww come on, but the threads here already.

It is in fact confirmed that many clips are take in god mode for the guys to get the proper shots they wanted.

lol you did it again. Heres the problem, you seemingly chose to ignore the positives provided by the reviews and then picked out the negatives provided by a few reviews then took the negatives and labelled the game with them.

you just proved my point. i never made any point on the "failureness" or success of DR in my previous post. my post was about your own personal flaw, in which you think you are correct. Your ridiculous assumptions, sheer arrogance, on what you think my opinions are. You assume i think these things when i have shown not shown indication of what they are. You have assumed and judged DR based on no evidence of true gameplay or experience.

your attempts to blame other people of bias does not hide your own blatant and painstakingly obvious subjective self. you are blind, ignorant while somehow being able to convince yourself you are the word of reason. plus its fanboy not fanboi

pelit supposedly gave it 82%?

if you are referring to multiplayer mapsize then probably. but this is the mission editor?

You didnt read it properly

well they owned the name, so they named it ofp because they felt that it would be derived from the same spirit or aim that the original ofp used. however i do believe it wasnt the best choice. I have spent alot of time on the cm site well relatively more time there than here to which i hope i will be spending more. by giving it a go i meant that people shouldnt bash the game before its released. the game is going downhill in the eyes of some people. in which alot of views are only speculation and not confirmed. lol uphill, well that wasnt very hard when u consider going uphill is by clearing a load of bugs. I dont wanna be viewed as an arma hater. i actually wanted to get this game and i still do. but the hour i played proved to be disappointing. and since im here, would u address my concerns?! has the ai been fixed? they seemed ignorant of my presence when i played! and will it run smoothly on q9300 and 4870 512mb and 2gbs of ddr3? thanks @bush im not sure but i think there is a mode or something for multiplayer in which each player has a 4 man fireteam attached?

hey dm how about NO?! i was just offering another piece of opinion. is what i said not true? yet the points you proposed all confirmed by cm and truth?! oh my magazine quote is real, i didnt make it up if thats what you were thinking magazine is atomic their military themed issue. for those that read it.

And from an Australian article: lAnticipation rating: we've stopped playing the full version of Arma2 in favour of this. 'nuff said. some people are so cynical on this thread. Give the game a go! its not even released yet and i dont think the 40 man limit is official and confirmed. I dont want to take it out on arma, but arma didnt have a smooth beginning either. though i like arma2 its not without its faults and rather large faults at that. Releasing a buggy almost unplayable game is "not on" but doing it twice is unacceptable. I have considered the purchase of arma 2 but after playing it for a while, its giving me some doubts. the seemingly buggy and ignorant ai have something to do with it.
