Whoa! People are hostile here! :) :D ArmA2 has been big disappointment for me. Never going to spend money on bis game ever again. That is all. Haven't played ArmA2 on my comp in months, using my friends, and this game seriously has nothing in it. It is kinda like original Operation Flashpoint with flashy graphics, all other things, well OFP did it better. If you would downgrade the looks of this game OFP is better in every aspect. This game has probably the worst AI ever in "war simulator". Thousands of useless in game crashes, and if the game doesn't crash, it is your AI teammate flying helicopter. Multiplayer is kinda weak also, 'thou it is the best part of this game. I don't even go in the campaign here. When this game focuses only on firefights, it doesn't do those wery well. This games coding is just so terrible, it takes ultramodern computer to run this game, somewhat good. The non-existent AI and physics suck every processor dry. I don't usually compare older games with newer (just because new games usually sucks, just like comparing ArmA2 and original OFP), but man, try Bad Company 2 beta, and you'll see how bad this game is. Thta game has good AI, good physics, sounds everything. Now before anyone says, that BC2 isn't "war simulator", well, don't. It is way more realistic (being average FPS-shooter) than this one. The firefights do the realism in videogames, not anything else. If ArmA2 would have other army aspects than firefights in it (like building/guarding your camp, digging trenches, planning and setting up camp defenses, camouflaging vehicles, maintenancing your equipment, melting pure snow for your flask, setting up the tripwires, carrying heavy mines, cleaning your weapon, transporting rations and ammunition, encountering civilians, and securing them so that they cant hurt you or themselves, learning some real army values, setting up communications, building bridges and searching crossing points in swampy areas and so on), it would be more realistic, but games are for shooting, and this game doesn't do it realistic OR in fun way. This isn't personal attack against anyone, I'm not just saying how bad this game is (the game would have been good, but terrible programming ruined it), I'm disappointed too. I spend lots of money in this one, and tried to get it work the way I enjoy playing games. I even modded it to extreme ('cause every modder in the world can make this game better than bis itself, it seems, just in few days). Peace! See you in the next game! :bounce3:

That laptop is useless. Like 'em all

Never buying BIS game again, but if someone else gets the job, I can reconsider.

Again... then this game isn't for you. The campaign doesn't work. Maybe try later, or just get Dragon Rising or other similar game.

Something important doesn't rotate in my head right now, 'cause i can't figure what you mean.

It ran like crap for me, didn't figure that the game would run like that. Sadly it did. And still does. :p

nVidia control panel doesn't affect to frames at all. Somebody prove me wrong (video with fraps running/benchmarks/in-gameFPScounter). Me or anyone of my friends haven't see ANY change. :D:D:D Funny how people think that it will affect. Psychological affect maybe?

is this the end? 1.05? probably. sad, but that is how it goes.

I think it because this game doesn't work online. :j: 99% of players who had even "recommended" system for this game, can't play it online. :rolleyes: For me it is because after 1.05 my copy isn't "legal" anymore. The game says that it is illegal. That stopped me finally playing this game until 1.06 comes and hopefully fixes it back.

play the game on empty map, it works then. :)

I hope that they make ArmA3, but with downgraded graphichs.. maybe original OPF engine? Just make everything that this game has and more, just so that it would work.

oooohhh, another popular rig topic.... :p we can't have too mcuh of these

I'm using Logitech G9, but thinking to change G9x... This is too slow for my taste. :)

Tweaking and trying to play the campaign and scenarios. In the case of scenarios, sometimes I find solution to play those with quite good settings. In the case of campaign, after I get some hints from pros, I start it excited, until I see the frames. Nothing has happened, so I go back to scenarios. :)

go back to 1.04, performance isn't that improved. :(

Disable PhysX from nVidia settings. Keep your resolutions right for your screen. Take AA off. Video memory should be default.

More FPS for Chernarus. Fixes for increasing framerate. More options for disabling/enabling things like HDR and such. I have very-low-end rig, and it can't still run this game in decent rates at any time, even if the requirements are met. 1.05 helped a little bit, so thank you for that.

Yeah, nothing wrong with the engine, but the first FarCry's engine wasn't that bad either, the sandbox was fun, multiplayer actually worked in that game. They should do "TOP100 engine" list separately.

Great list. Deus Ex is number ONE, everyone who has played it can tell that. Not surprised. IL-2 should be higher, being 100 is way too far from many mediocre games that the list haves. Jagged Alliance2 way too low also. Enemy Territory... should be higher. Not many games that old still have such many active clans and players. Street Fighter 4 should not be on that list at all, maybe the weakest of them all. Fallout3 divides people, my opinion is that it should not be in that list at all, weakest of the trilogy, just simplified from the originals with Oblivion engine. If Fallout3 would be 2d, like the games before that it would be easily weakest of the bunch. (opinions, opinions, don't get mad on me) ---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ---------- ...oh, and one thing. FarCry2 on the list, but not the first one?!? HAHAHAHAAHA! Everyone knows that FarCry2 is an shitty game. :butbut:

Just played these through on hardest difficulty setting, with super AI and such. Took something like 15 minutes. Too easy I think. Village Sweep was pathetic, just ordered all my troops in the middle of the village, didn't even have chance to see what happened, when the mission was cleared already, took less than 3 minutes. :eek: Your ideas? Is there any way to make this harder? Weaken your allies even more? :mad:

sadly new beta isn't THAT great. still waiting aswers to thousands performance issues people are having in this game.

also I don't understnad the scopes in this game, how come you see the surroundings around the scope when you are looking through it? does the character keep both eyes open? no wonder that everything is so blurry... :D

Difference between "High" and "Very High" is that "Very High" drops your frames even more. I can't understand this postprocessing. If it is ON, even on LOW, the game lags and looks horrible. It is impossible to use sniper anymore, 'cause all in the game looks blurry after 10 feet. That guy really need glasses, just think him standing on a bus stop with that vision. He would never see the bus number in time.

Whole map or just the icon? My maps icons start to flicker quite fast after some time of playing. Map itself is good.

the hit detection is terrible, but not the main issue ATM.
