Hi,
I'm new to this forum and would like to ask some advice about arma. Long story short, I loved OFP, even though I found it extremely difficult (never got past
mission 10 on the red hammer campaign), so now that I have a new laptop, i thought about getting Arma. I've downloaded Arma II and Arma II OA demos, and
only Arma II OA could run decently on my computer.
Arma II cannot render graphics correctly (has black polygonic trees and grass)
Arma II OA, runs on relatively normal settings (no antialising, high texture, highest resolution, 1700m viewing distance, normal terrain detail and object detail)
at 37 fps average. In short, it's not mind blowing but definitely playable.
I'm using a thinkpad with an integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics (:p, i know i'm going to get some derisive comments...), 4GB RAM, and i5 processor.
On the other hand, OFP dragon rising demo runs great (very smooth gameplay, no glitches at all), but it feels very arcady, and the AI is immensely stupid.
In short it doesn't feel like the original OFP at all.
So in your opinion, with such a sucky machine as mine, should i get Arma combined operations? or OFP DR?
Thank you.
PS: BTW, i don't know why people keep telling me my laptop sucks for gaming, i've been able to play crysis relatively smoothly...?
