Is there a possibility that this will make it to the iPhone for us iPhone simpletons? :)
...or perhaps even the iPad, in order to make use of the larger screen real estate?

AFAIK Arma2: FR is primarily being developed for iPad and android tablets, i think i remember reading something like that.

Sweet. Because truth be told, I have no idea what ArmA FR is. As long as it has the ArmA name on it though, I'll buy it. Any idea where you read that, S.A.?

The game has its own web page.
At the top of this screen slect "games" and follow the links to the web site.

Here are the devices:

From the picture above, I'm guessing:
All iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod)
Android devices

Wow, I thought it was only android, but they're putting it on facebook and iPhone/iPad too?
A lot of people have at least one of those devices in their household, and most people have facebook. I say good move BIS. I am going to tell people to get this, should give them a taste of the ArmA series.
Thanks Joe98 and Dice. Didn't think to look above.

iOS4 does me no good, since I have the ancient iPhone (not even GS) and can't afford the $200 a new one could cost. :( The iPad is not even a dream at $400. :)

i'd buy it for iPhone.
* iOS version will be definetely supported from 3GS.
There could be performance issue for the lower device.
* Resolution is optimized for iPAD.
Stay tuned - it will be out in 2 months.

should make it support retina display so it looks even cooler on the iPhone4 :).

Aww... time to say "goodbye" to my iPod Touch 2nd generation...:(

We still looking good for the first week of Oct? :)
Kylania's picture sums up what I was thinking. :D
I hope all is going well in development. Our money is waiting. :)

Also, it would be a great tool for BI to do marketing/advertising of Arma to a whole new customer base.

Any update on this?
The iphone version is still under development alongside major update of the game itself, some highlights of the update that should be also basis for the iOS version:
• great new interactive shooting range. Can you eliminate all the terrorists and protect the civilians? We’ll see about that…
• “career mode”
• new fast and flexible download system
• optional optimized Open Feint implementation
• various fixes and optimizations

I just got a 4S so my fingers are itching for some IOS trigger action ...
Can't wait. I'm an avid OpenFeint user so it'll be a great recommendation to all my OF pals. :)
Finally the iOS version
(http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/arma-2-firing-range/id469898448?mt=8)
It should be free to get and play, however 1.99 USD in app paid unlock is necessary to get access to all features.
Thanks bis! I enjoyed it a lot, I'll be telling some friends about it!
Bought it :)
Did you consider using the gyroscope to control the aiming?
I also noticed one bug: You can't scroll the text description of the guns. Also, it seems to me to be unnecessary to have an option between enhanced and basic rendering in the 3D view, as all the supported iPhones should manage the enhanced rendering.

Yay finally, purchased!
Another bug: the game center leader board is inverted, 1 point is the best
edit: I don't think the achievements are working either, e.g. I have unlocked the Factory, but haven't gotten the achievement. Also I found the tilt controls, but it's not using the gyro, and it seems as the controls are inverted. Eliminate:GunRange is a similar game to Arma FR that does it right.
+1 for tilt controls.
Just purchased it now. Thank you, BIS!
Abs
:rolleyes: tilt controls are there.
just go to options -> controls ->change scheme (default is drag to tilt). Make sure to click on calibrate though
Yes, but it's not using the gyro. You have to use the iPhone as a driving wheel to move left or right, which is not a natural movement.
ah yes, got your point now
Just installed and it's fantastic - thanks BIS!
Just wondering - what happened to the OpenFeint support? I was looking forward to it. Did it get removed in favour of Gamecentre?
I'm not complaining, just out of interest is all :)

Is there some way to start over your "Career" without deleting and re-installing the app? I sort of faked my way through the 3 demo levels not knowing what I was really doing.
Also, does the app crash (shutdown after the splash screen) for anyone else? Mine does it every "first time" I launch it after my iphone 4s has been idle for some time. Launching it again after it crashes works fine.
Yes, it crashes some times when I'm going back to the app it seems.
I enjoyed it quite a bit, thanks BIS. When I'm not at home and I have no way to play ArmA, I can do the next best thing. :D
Thanks again,
Craig

I bought full version on my iPad, but when i install on my iPod Touch i cant use full version features on it.
Is there any way to recover purchase so i can use full version on iPod without buying again?

Sorry this is completely solved by Apple/iTunes and we can do nothing about this.

We have followed the mainstream for iOS so there is Gamecentre. Anyway we could reconsider OpenFeint for future updates.

Career reset is on the list for the next update. We will look into your crash - what firmware do you have?

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunatelly leaderboard reset is quite complicated on the Apple side. We will see what we can do.
Tilt could be inverted in options.
We will think about Gyro extra feature for the update. So far we are trying to deliver the same version for iOS and Android.

Are you sure? In other apps with in-app purchases they have an option to restore purchases. I just tried this out in two apps on my new iPad, but couldn't find any option in FR.

By take? Eh. It's ok but not finished. The career takes 10 minutes. There's no skeet shooting which would have been my favorite. I would like to increase the swipe sensitivity as I find myself to br too slow swinging though a large arc with the iPad.
Tried the AR update, and glad that you got the gyroscope to work! Will you add that to the other maps in a later update?
Also, you really need to offer the restore purchase option. It's not acceptable that I lose the game if I need to restore my iPhone, and I can't install it on my iPad either.
Edit: got the restore working with the last update, I also got fooled by the AR, you don't need the gyro for that :p
