    90% of my posts on the CM forum are saying that without dedicated servers and mod support the game will be dead in 6 months. Several times on this forum Ive asked, why you pick over minor issues, whilst ignoring the fact that those 2 features are missing?

    Even without those features the game still looks like it will be good, and if you like realistic shooters, then it will be worth buying. But that doesnt mean that it will outlast ARMA or be better than ARMA will be in the years to come ( Ive said that in several posts here as well )

    Like I said I have no loyalty to any company, and I have actually been far more negative about DR on the CM forum, because there they actually talk about the important features that are missing!

    I've given plenty of criticism of DR, but Ive also defended it where the posts against it have been absurd. Ive also discussed the positives and negatives of ARMA.

    The difference is that some of you ONLY discuss positives of ARMA and only negetives of DR.

    As I said in a previous post, Im a gamer and my only loyalty is to good games ;)

    Grow up guys

    Yes scores and reviews are objective, but as noone else has played the game, they do give us a good insight. Its funny how all reviews are dismissed all of a sudden ( due to all the DR reviews being good ) and yet when ARMA2 was released ONLY the bad reviews were dismissed. When certain forum members are off line, theres a mature discussion of the pros and cons of the game in this thread - then the trolls come and it all turns to ****

    505 must have had a heads up when Codies editorial was going in from the advertisers and played them off for the back-page!

    Problem is that most people buy magazines for the content rather than the adverts. And in that magazine theyll read the review that says :

    While ArmA II had the potential to be superb Dragon Rising actually is
    Some people will doubtless hate it, saying it's not a par on ArmA II, moaning about how it isn't realistic enough or that the PLA don't have accurate uniforms, but I advise you to ignore the naysayers and play the game.

    No Leopardi I'm not a troll. DM said himself that most people are comparing ARMA2 and OFP : DR.

    Is there s FLIR in ARMA2? No

    Is there s FLIR in DR? Yes.

    Get over it! Theres no need to then start comparing other future games to DR, so that you can say "Well ARMA2 doesn't have it, but this future game will"

    We know by now that OFP2 is more accessible, true, but if you want to have a real sandbox offering a vast world to interact with, then stay with BIS. VR3 gives you so much freedom in modding and scripting that i have not seen in any other game yet. So yes, we can condone some things here.

    Exactly - give DR criticism where its due, instead of nitpicking of the tiniest detail forever. Who cares about the FLIR - sure its nice, but hello! There isn't even modding confirmed for DR yet!

    We know that ofp2 dispensed with the property and the third person schooter Bhdh point I'm trying to ask a question you solve this topic Bmcn Kesbp addon in the form of websites and individuals, thank you

    I think you are asking about modifications? You can create missions, but there has been no confirmation about being able to do anything else yet. I think that they are probably waiting to see how the sales go before they confirm anything.

    You see Zipper you imply others are trolls but lets look at your recent posts.

    You say that OFP : DR wont sell due to COD. I show you the figures that disprove that.

    You reply "well its close" But now my prediction has changed to DR sales going down and COD rocketing.

    Cant you see that every post you make is trolling?

    As for DM comparing VBS to DR. Yes it can be bought, but its not aimed at the public. Can you not see that that comparing $1500 software to a $40 game is somewhat unfair? Last night the discussion had become a sensible and mature discussion. Now it seems to be rapidly going downhill again

    Because people from the dragon rising community, typically, come in here and compare dragon rising to arma. Thus one has to reply with corrections to those comparisons.

    Thats questionable, considering CoD:MW2 is out at the end of the week too.

    But why would you compare military technology which is not available to the public with a game? And Arrowhead is still a long way off release.

    As for OFP : DR not having good sales - well it looks like its holding its own against COD : MW on PC :

    i still have not bought arma 2. I am waiting for the demo or super good reviews of OPF2-DR before making my purchase decision.

    I dont care much about all these little details ie the style of the reticule etc. I want the game to be fun. I want to be able to find an online server right away, without waiting in the lobby for 15 minutes. I dont want 2500 ms latency. I want the game to be user

    friendly and easy to control.

    will see this week who gets my $50!

    I think that DR will give you what you're looking for, but I don't see why it has to be and either/or decision. Im sure ArmA2 will be fixed over the next 12 months, plus theres great MODs being worked on for it.

    Its pretty questionable how long DR will last (though I'm sure it will have great sales figures initially) Its starting to look like Codemasters have messed up the Multiplayer and are not going to support modding.

    features both a radial and a numbered menu. I immediately disabled the radial and enabled the "classic interface" on firing it up :)

    That's the best option of all - try and keep everyone happy :D . Hopefully they allow alot of customisation on PC. We'll soon find out.

    That interview is mainly talking at the console version, but it has some good info, and a nice screenshot of the FLIR. The comment about the AI spotting you easier if you're on the ridge line is pretty cool.

    I like radial menus personally, and making it contextual is even batter. The easier it is to issue commands, the greater immersion you have ingame = the game feels more real. If you're battling the interface instead of fighting in the game, then that's not a good thing. Sure you can memorise commands over time, but why make life unnecessarily difficult? It doesn't make it more hardcore - it just makes it a pain in the ass.

    Everyone here would agree that A2 had it's share of problems.

    Shame that instead of acknowledging that DR might not be the second coming of Christ, you insist on pointing out A2's shortcomings.

    Eth

    Eth if you read my posts you would see that I said by far and away the biggest potential draw back with DR, is the lack of confirmation (wall of silence infact) on dedicated servers and modding capabilities. The thing is that none of you guys even talk about that much, and instead say things like "DR hasn't got rabbits" which doesn't really reflect well on you :D

    It looks like DR will be a solid game (though I agree I cant vouch for that until I play it and neither can you).

    ARMA2 is getting better with the patches, but personally I want a game that works now, and Im not going to base my opinion of ARMA2 on what it might be in the future with mods/xpacks/patches. Having said that, if the game changes in the future then of course that may change my opinion.

    I'm a gamer, and the only loyalty I have is to good games (which is subjective of course) ;)
