the way it looks, its going to divide the community- but no complaints, would be AWESOME if people who played bf2/mw2/arcade shooters were occupied with their own mod.
-
I've had no errors, running this mod along with WarFx and everythings smooth, the smoke looks awesome, thanks.

I'm sorry guys, but I can't leave you with your "wow!" and "ah!" and I have to say that almost all effects look "ugly" and "unreal". They have nothing to real world effects and particle textures are so bad (their colors and details). The speed of different particles is not correct. Where dust should grow fast there it grows slow and vice versa. Explosion from GRAD missile has a huge size. And shape of explosion is not plausible. Since start of AT missile has a very dense smoke there is no way to control AT missile during the flight and it seams useless. IMHO.when did dust start growing? i'm no grammar nazi but when someone uses the wrong word all together...just lol, how annoying, rude and ignorant.
you must be drunk to think warfx looks worse than the vanilla explosions- infact you'd have to be a little bit retarded too.

Doesn't both VBS2 and ARMA 2 use Virtual Reality 2 engine? If so then why can't ARMA 2 handle it if VBs2 can if they have the same game engine?pretty sure youre right, i dont know how it all works
i was guessing off this information
"Will they somehow automate the inclusion of ArmA II content for those that have it to encourage people who own it that Operation Arrowhead will be just a huge expansion pack for them?
BIS: This is difficult to say now, as Operation Arrowhead will feature a newer and enhanced version of ArmA II engine."
"What are the reasons to release it as a standalone game instead of an ArmA II addon?
BIS: At least two reasons there are, which one of these is our wish to make it easier to get the game for players who didn't buy ArmA II previously and that some of the new features require to change both exe and data in order to work properly (e.g. thermal imaging)"
i know the thermal imaging requires its own texture for everything, but dont know how coding and making textures and all that works, was only guessing the current engine arma 2 uses doesnt have all the bells and whistles the 1500 dollar VBS2 engine has
-
I asked about this on a separate thread and I got people saying "Oh, it's impossible with the engine currently used", turns out that it was a load of bull. The engine clearly can do it.you're right and you're wrong- VBS2 can handle it, arma 2 cannot- pretty sure the FLIR coming from VBS2 to AO required them to make a new standalone, not an expansion, because it required a change to data and the exe, something like that

cannot delete
-
none of the above.

buy direct and support the BIS devs
and yes, you can redownload the game

Aliens...? really?

Well, after getting this game I must say I am thoroughly disappointed.Don't get me wrong, the game itself seems great, the concept is good, the graphics are (relatively) good and I can tolerate a steep learning curve. What I cannot accept however are fatal bugs that make the game unplayable.
I've only had it for one and a half days and have suffered 2 BSOD's as well as other miscellaneous problems. Even after downloading the latest patch.
I have decided that this will be the last time I am disappointed by the for-profit gaming industry. I will be purchasing no more PC games from now on and go back to my original idea of creating my own non-profit game from scratch.
I know I could post my system specs and chase my tail for weeks looking for solutions. but I often have this gut-feeling that tells me a problem cannot be solved, and that’s the feeling I'm getting now.
Anyway, see you people when I've made my game, and if you think mine will turn out stupid, just remember, it will be FREE, so unlike Arma 2 (And many other games) you won't loose anything trying it out.;)
good luck developing a game when you lack the ambition to even fix a game(which im doubting its even the game, its probably your PC.) you went ahead and purchased.
btw bsod usually comes from faulty drivers, hardware or when you push hardware beyond its specs. not saying thats your problem, but those are the most common reasons.

used AddonSync, took some messing around with the parameter order, but it works fine

I have pretty much this system allthough I got it for $600 because I went with a cheaper 600watt psu, a $20 case, got a Cpu MoBo combo deal for $230 and a $99 seagate 1TB which is a little slow but workable. I've had some issues with the 5770 but it's performance is great. I would crossfire it but given that it still crashes on me at least twice a week I just can't bring myself to buy another one.nvm, dont know how to delete posts either

How about annoying texture flashing with ATI cardsYou're not alone, Nvidia user here experiencing the same thing, havent looked for a fix yet though.
-
Just need a flubber addon now :)my grenades could use a squirt of that
-
if its made by BIS and PC exclusive then absolutely yes.
if its made for both PC and Console then ill be waiting for its price to drop prior to buying it. if i buy it at all.

i wont hesitate to purchase this expansion

The Xenon CPU kicks the pants of current PC CPUs, you know. Both the 360 and PS3 are insane at doing the kind of math that games need compared to our OOO PC CPUs...Xenon can do more than *twice* the number of math-operations per second that my Q6600 can do! You'd have to have a top-of-the-line CPU, overclocked, to match a Xenon...Operation Flashpoint: Elite worked, didn't it? You know, perhaps figuring out how to make it work on a game-pad would actually be a good thing for the PC -- maybe they'd come up with some better menu systems ;P
This quote wasn't aimed at me, but I do program for the 360 ;)
As I said above, it's CPU is twice as good as PC CPUs. Also it's graphics cards can do plenty of things that PC graphics cards still can't do, plus it can enable features that are slow on PC without any extra slow-down. E.g. transparent particle systems (smoke, fire, etc) chew up a *lot* of fill-rate on a PC, but much, much less on the 360 due to the type of RAM accessed by the raster-operation unit...
we already have 12 (probably even more by now) core processors planned to be sold to civilians.
they(intel) have a road map of when they plan on releasing the technology, every 2 or 3 years. last i heard (about two years ago) they had plans on selling up to 12core cpus.
i know for a fact theyve made plenty with twice that, recently theyve made an 80core processor. it was capable "of producing 1 trillion floating-point operations per second, known as a teraflop. "
not that any of us have that, but your cpu only boasts a 3 core 3.2ghz processor. lol
most of our cpus would rape that pos.

I dont know.My two cents are that why cant we have a PC exclusive Game, it seems the such a concept is no longer possible in todays market.
There are plenty of games exclusive to Ps3 or Xbox, so why cant Arma2 be exclusive to PC .
JUst an oppinion, not really up for discussion.
my thoughts exactly.
whats even more depressing is ofpdr drops support, and they flood over to arma2 begging for a console version.
im sure theyll make it, they wont argue to taking your money
and i could care less, just as long as PC support and development doesnt lose priority. if that happens ill be royally pissed

Hey BOHEMIA, CODEMASTERS just pulled the plug on OFPDR. We all knew well the old community (most of us) codemasters could never come close to your product/game. However, I ask you to look at the real nunbers of games sold for the 360 and PS3 there is a market for you and your games. I will keep the faith and hope some day.FYI on 4/15/10 MS is going to shut down the old xbox online and I will no longer will be able to play the best console game ever made OFP ELITE.
do you honestly think arma 2 ported to consoles would have even remotely close to the same amount of content? it would be lacking practically everything, couldnt even be called arma 2 if you ask me.
it would turn out to be another ofpdr, theyd make a small profit and tarnish their name. personally i dont respect sellouts.

yeah thats why almost ALL console games are dubbed down from PC versions.
quit talking out of your rear end.

Have you programmed for the 360? How do you know it's limitations? The 360 is basically a stripped down PC. No, it wouldn't look as nice as the PC version maxed out, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be a good game. Do you play on the consoles at all? If you did and if you browsed any forums for console gamers for those particular games you'd see that a good chunk of the gamers do not WANT the mainstreamed version they've been getting. Quite a few have been asking for a real tactical shooter for a while. It still comes up almost every round of Call of Duty 4 I play online.Modern Warfare 2 is 2009, yet runs great on the 360. Borderlands is 2009 and runs on the 360. OFPDR is 2009, and runs on the 360. You're making the same mistake as everyone else in assuming that consoles are still in the Playstation/Nintendo 64 era.
modern warfare 2 is a terrible comparison, do you know how much arma2 has to load compared to that? what a joke.
borderlands?! give me a breaaaak.
"No, it wouldn't look as nice as the PC version maxed out" thats exactly right.

edit:re read the thread and my solution doesnt apply

Have a read of post 9, Obviously if he didn't he needs to learn english properly so it doesn't sound bad.And what is the guilty consious crap ur talking about, guilty about what?
"A campaign that is in Russian language too. I played the Sarmat campaign on Armed Assault and it was good"
certainly wasnt insulting it. even stated it was his opinion and never claimed it to be fact.
i was saying you read that and tried blowing up to mean more than it did.
(btw, russia speaks russian, america doesnt germany doesnt france doesnt uk doesnt belgium doesnt turkey doesnt china doesnt japan doesnt
india doesnt australia doesnt(which BIS has an australian team too, they speak english.), and the list goes on and on, compare that to how many countrys teach english in their school and have it as a second language in their country.)
in other words, compare the world- how many speak/understand english- compared to how many speak/understand russian.
with that said im not in awe that he was surprised sarmat won.
nor do i think he wants to personally attack russians.
and "learn english properly so it doesn't sound bad." thats what i was talking about your guilty conscious. i didnt see anything offensive against russians. its all in the eyes of the beholder, if you thought he was being rude, its because YOU thought he was.
either way none of this really matter.

and then watch it get spam voted to win the award, they are a little embarrassed by the whole affair.that happens in EVERY game that holds a comp where the community can vote.
literally EVERY one. usually the company takes precautions deletes the votes from brand new accounts that go inactive almost instantly and stuff like that.
anyways i looked at some of sarmats stuff and it looks pretty sick.
-
im fully aware of all the winners, have watched the video, currently play the ace mod, have seen sickboy on the forums, i use armaholic etc etc
one thing though, ive NEVER EVER heard of sarmat. ever.
but you can call it democracy and try to pull a Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and paint it up to be a-ok.

TankbusterSo what if the campaign is in Russian Language
Are u saying it's not acceptable to give awards to ppl who don't speak english?
Remember ur favourite game is made by non-english speaking people as are alot of other games of the highest qualities
he never said that, and i love russia myself
you took it out of context and or have a guilty conscious

those UK troops they want, are in the free VBS2 demo, it was actually given out for free in england, could probably download it online somewhere id imagine, i don't know, but all the same, there's your British troops done by a team that far surpasses your talent. unless you want to make your own homemade, i mean studio.
just for the clueless, by default vanilla arma 2 walks circles around bf2PR
