ArmA 2

[Fnatic]

Anybody going to be buying this? Looks absolutely brilliant and about 11 days to release. It's like a really realistic FPS.

Is this similar to Operation Flashpoint (I noticed it's the same developers)? I might check this one out.

Now that I've seen you can fuck about in the editor with how many things you want to start each faction with, then yes. I want it. A lot.

However, as I currently lack a computer that will hack supreme commander or even spore ffs (), I doubt it's going to come up.

Bonny- supreme commander is a memory whore so you might be alright to be fair.

Hi
Bought it, 49p from game when I traded in Red Faction 2.

Seems ok, but like with all Bohemia games, its not optimized for shit.

Rig:
Windows Vista 64x
6Gb 800mhz DDr2
Geforce GTX 260 512MB RAM
Dual core 2.8Ghz

I'm running at 1680x1050 with low/med settings. Even with the tweaks I'm still getting slowdown.

Theres alot of improvements over Arma1, but still the same old problems.

1 shot wonder AI
Clunkey
CTD's
Texture pop in/flicker all over the shop
AI path finding bad
Mission triggers not triggering

I'm sure with patches will improve the game as it goes on, and need to do more of the single player to comment on the playability.

From watching the trailers etc it looks like Joint ops and not a "new" game.

Will wait a while before I give out my hard earned.

How are the choppers like to fly with mouse and keyboard? I remember the old one had a hover mode that would slow you down but it took about 3 miles to do it so you had to crawl to wherever you needed to be or you missed your targets.

May have been easier with a joystick.....

I've got it and it runs like crap, whilst also looking worse than arma 1.
