After a successful install I'll open the mission editor and make a huge battle including everything the game has to offer. After this mayhem I'll probably start the campaign... or I'll start another onslaught.

Hi,

First I would start up the mission editor and try out the various units, vehicles and weapons and just wander around on the islands. After that (many hours later) I would try to improvise a first Dutch army addon by trying to swap the DPM textures of the Russian infantry on the model of the U.S. troops.

I would first pop a chill pill then open up the editor.
Then i would select a chopper to fly with and head out over this new BIG terrain and explore from the sky. Then i would get me some nice spots from the air and make huge war on those area's. Then i would do some missions and all that stuff....hmmm....wait....just walk around as a civy would do fine to instead of all the above lol http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/rofl.gif

[Heatseeker]

Tough question, i have no idea... first maybe, open the editor to adjust graphics and sound settings, get a feel with the controls, explore the maps a bit, units, a.i, etc.
Then when im more or less confortable with it play a sp mission or two and only then start the campaign i guess, problably the same procedure has OPF, its still very far but i think it will be very exciting, for now i dream only of armed assault, seems more than good enough for the time being http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/notworthy.gif .

Firstly look at the control settings, than the other settings like sound and graphics.

After that mess in the mission editor for 15 minutes.

Than play the campaign non stop until I finish it.

It&#39;s not the size you need, but the bandwidth. I dream of when I can get a 64-bit PCI-X SATA RAID controller spitting 8 striped drives of data into a 4gb GigabyteTech RAM-Disk SATA Card. All parts available now, just out of my budget.

Since the RAM-Disk card exposes it&#39;s self as a SATA hard drive, I wonder if it is possible to stripe them with a real RAID controller...

[KimTuomi]

Shin, maybe I didn&#39;t quite follow your point on RAIDing RAM-disks? Wouldn&#39;t you RAID in case of extended reliability (fault tolerance) or speed (stripe)? I don&#39;t really see the real-world scenario where you would actually RAID ram-drives. RAM drives should be very fast compared to any physical disk-setup and probably they would be used as real fast alternative in case you need to access some project files (videoediting, whatever) in almost realtime.

Okay, maybe a bit off-topic to technical side .. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/crazy_o.gif

I&#39;m going to read the box and the manual 10 times over, and then i&#39;m going to rub my finger against the CD a few times to feel the texture of the sticker, and then i&#39;m going to look at the screen until it&#39;s done installing (and trying not to blink), and then I will go to the options and see what kind of graphical settings i can enable, and then i will play the campaign slowly and I will enjoy every bit of it http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/yay.gif http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/yay.gif

I will tell too all my friends that they must test this masterpiece.When they will test it they will want to buy it.When they will buy it, we will all enjoy it.

[westy159]

I will do the first campaign for a while. Then look at the island on the editor. Then create some big shoot out missions on editor. Then play single missions. Then the campaign again for ages (but not complete it). Go back to editor and try creating more sophisticated missions for a long time. A couple more single missions. Multiplayer. Campaign till i finnish it. And then mixture of single missions, editor and multiplayer till i die.

[Albert Schweitzer]

I will inform my neighbours that during the next 10 hours they should not get confused when hearing loud intensive war sounds. And I will turn up my speakers to max, and do a little tank-testdrive&#33;

[M4XSs]

First ill make sure it runs as i want.
then ill open mission editor and see whats new there /..

[CameronMcDonald]

Will crank all settings to highest immediately, to see if my monster (currently) machine can run it.

If not smoothly, I&#39;ll set &#39;em down a notch until I&#39;m getting a nice, smooth level of FPS.

Then the carnage will begin. Oh yes. <evil laugh> http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif

Sounds like a good plan.;)

In fact, i think thats the way i played OFP (exept the dying thing) and all and every other game i&#39;ve ever played&#33;

Well, raj, Armed Assault is the new game under development by the creators of Operation :Flashpoint and due for release soon.

The Second Generation Game (or Game2 as some call it) is also a new game under development by the same people. But this &#39;Game2&#39; is aimed at the masivly powerfull pcs of the near future, capable of so much more than todays technology.

In short, Armed Assault is for now, Game2 is for tomorrow.

Hope you understand

hmm i understand&#33; i thought it was the same thing..i got EXITED by seeing those nextgen pics&#33;&#33;

Those animations form AA are FREAK&#33;&#33;&#33; pretty much the same as OFP.

I did too&#33;

Aparently the animations will be the last thing BIS change in development. So the finished Armed Assault game will (or) should have different animations from Operation:Flashpoint

on the E3 showcard there was a soldier running with the m16 in front???
try this

Oh yeah I remember that..the AI tends to get pissed off when you kill friendlies...even online..hell I remember this one AI that,no matter what the situation,would find some sneaky way of killing my friend,without him doing anything to the AI. Then in one round of CTI..not sure how..but I somehow pissed off an AI that apprently only blew up my vehicles,it got an Vulcan M113 thingy and I got an AH-1 Cobra...fucker blew it up,then I got a humvee,bam,then a jeep,boom,then I was broke.

I hope they keep em like that,games tend to suck bad when you can kill 5 or all friendlies and the AI doesnt do anything.
