Six more days for the first Official release in (Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia)
I wounder if the game will be totally completed by then or BIS will be forced by publishers to seal/close (unfinished) ARMA before its completed?

Would be kind if this question was answered because i would like to see a finished and completed ARMA even if it takes alittle more time to complete (without any errors/bugs).

All this calm makes me feel that BIS need more time to finish/complete and optimize ARMA.
(if thats the case, plz take that time to do it)

hope im not concerning anyone else by posting this.

I refuse to believe that is the case until I get official from BIS that it&#39;s true. That&#39;s how I&#39;ve always been with this website, and that is this the way it&#39;s going to stay. Stirring up the rumor mill is just a sure-fire way to stir up controversy as well....

It wont be, OFP wasn&#39;t, ArmA wont. Thats what patches are for.

All developers need more time to finish things, the secret is knowing when something is ready to be released, even if it isnt finished or perfect.

Yes, BI are most likely still working on ArmA, and Placebo has said that they wont stop working on ArmA once its released. And the release date is not BI&#39;s decision to make, its down to the publisher. And do you really think that a bunch of us fanbois asking to delay the release is going to make ANY difference? (Much in the same way that the previous begging for early release/more info/more features didn&#39;t make any difference either)

Hey there. It&#39;s currently unknown what the go with a downloadable version is... all we know is that such an option will be available. Where and when? Nobody knows currently, except BIS, of course.

EDIT: It&#39;s for sure that a boxed version will be available before the downloadable version, but it&#39;s also certain that this version will not be in English. Bummer, eh.

Yes you are right. I was told that an online download, would not be available untill after the release of the English version.
As the Czech release date gets closer, it is really starting to bug me, that i wont be playing this game in 7 days time. I have already pre ordered the German version and if there is away to get the Czech release, ill probably get that aswell. So thats like 3 copys of the game ill have by next year. Is anyone here from the Czech Republic?? from the posts i see i guess its mainly people from Germany. United Kingdom, USA, Australia.

Edit 1: I got it to work, it just downloads the whole video until it starts to play.

Edit 2: Great videos, they show alot of improvements. My favorite is MOV03166 for a couple of reasons, it&#39;s has a nice atmosphere, shows alot of improvements (recoil, new item system), great models and so on.

The model is slightly smaller, that&#39;s it. A small difference in height wont mess up the anims. Children are even smaller, now that would cause problems as they would need new animations to work properly as the original anims aren&#39;t made for such small characters.

the second one. i think that guy is swimming in a creek/river

New Videos http://www.armedassault-community.de
thanks.

A few things I noticed from the videos:

In the video named "pistole", there is a burning truck at the end. It appears there is a "charred" texture underneath the flames. I was afraid the burning vehicle was just going to be black, as I had read in a previous interview.

In the video "soldat", the flares are blindingly bright if you look directly at them. If there are ground flares ingame, they may be useful for initiating an ambush on the enemy if tripped in their line of sight.

In the "tank2" video, the forest looks very nice.

in the "tank3" video, one of the water towers tumbles over when hit with a tank round&#33; Also, the speed of the tower which collapsed straight down looked far better than in previous videos where the houses fell much too fast.

just my thoughts.

Nice as it would be, I don&#39;t think thats what you&#39;re seeing.

If you watch other soldier reloading animations, they twist the weapon through 90 degrees, so that the mag-well is pointing horizontal and left. I think this is what causes the shadow to disapear, rather than mag anims. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/confused_o.gif

Ok while I share your enthusiasm about the recent videos and would probably mention all the positive developments had you not already beaten me to post I would like to raise the most worrying aspect:

Where are all the ENTERABLE buildings?

If ArmedAssault is a true successor to Operation Flashpoint or even OPF 1.5 it should have at least 1.5x the numer of enterable buildings.Yet all I see are dull uninspiring low poly buildings in the big cities.Has such a big sacrifice been made for the game to be CPU-friendly?Because this is seriously not a sacrifice worth taking.I hope I my worries are for nothing and that this buildings are place holders before it reaches gold status.

Other then the hotel can anyone report any other type of enterable buildings already included in the latest build?

The muzzle flash should be a quick, violent report, not a lingering fireball.
The smoke boils out fast, but disapates quickly.
Dust kicked up from the ground and off the tank hull lingers for a while. The ground being wet or dry changes how much a tank firing obscures vision a lot.
For example, here&#39;s some Challanger IIs firing in muddy conditions:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XYvmTnIFlU
Notice how there is no large ammount of obscuring dust.

The difference between smoke produced from weapons and dust kicked up is a big thing. It&#39;d be awesome if stuff like that was in ArmA. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

For all you know the shadow settings might not be on full.


Quote[/b] ]* the reflection of houses, trees etc do not appear in the uaz&#39;s window like clowds do.

This has been brought up before, what you are expecting is dynamic reflections which is a waste of CPU and Video card resources for such a large scale game. Reflection maps on such shiny objects is the way to go, even most car racing games still use this method.


Quote[/b] ]* Shadows of trees do not seem to wave while same trees moves.
Well it could be the result of unfished code or possibly delibrately made like that for FPS reasons on such a large scale game.


Quote[/b] ]* Explosions, smoke do not seem to have shadows.
Shadows from smoke and explosions is not needed, do you even think of what would happen having such effects when your in a large scale battle with many explosions and smoke every where. If you want these effects then you should play a corridor shooter.


Quote[/b] ]* Radio antennas do not wave while vehicle moves. (they are just a stick there)
I&#39;m sure this could be animated but if not big deal, this is like what I read about the drivers arms not moving when moving the steering wheel. A lot of racing games dont even have such features, it&#39;s going to make no difference at all during gameplay.

There always comes a time in developing a game where you have to stop adding new features and finish off the final product for release otherwise we would be waiting for ever and BIS wouldn&#39;t make any money to continue on in future.

I think at some point your suggestions have to belong in the "What do you HOPE will be in Armed Assault" thread or in the Game2 forums.  They really do belong in the Game2 side because if they&#39;re not in ArmA now it&#39;s too late already. Unfortunately, most of us don&#39;t really visit the Game 2 side so nobody wants to post there.  I know I don&#39;t want to because no one will see it.

What I&#39;m trying to say is, don&#39;t expect to see those features you mentioned in ArmA if they aren&#39;t in yet. Those suggestions are for Game2 now.

And "Be Ambitious" only makes sense from the developer&#39;s view.  From the customer&#39;s side it&#39;s more like "demand a lot of crap".

Pilsner Urquell is nice, true.

The formula I believe is:
Beer production plus beer imports minus beer exports. So a tourist drinking/buying beer in Czechia counts as a Czech and it&#39;s not a 100% accurate.

well, but that&#39;s exactly the problem.

I&#39;m not able to read czech/polish/russian/etc mission briefings so the only thing I could do with a non-german version would be to mess around with the editor (if I get the editor-menus partly translated and they are not much different from the old OFP-Editor) and play a few multiplayer matches.

Other than that, I most likely won&#39;t be able to understand (and thus play the campaign right) nor able to work on a mod, because there has been no information on a release of the tools.

I didn&#39;t buy BF2142 because of its mild copy protection breaking my DVD drive -not physicaly, like the extreme Starforce cases. The game had a load of other bugs, on top of that; I don&#39;t want copy protection so bad it compromises system security and can physicaly break optical drives. People here even bitch about Steam copy protection, which is perfectly up-front about how it works (key is registered to your online account and verified, elegantly simple).
