ArmA2: Operation Arrowhead Impressions - ALL OA Impressions/Videos/Screenies Here

[aidas2]

Game is awesome, for me it's much better then Arma2, the extra features, graphic, everything's so smooth, much more realistic weapons than arma, bullet drop, good A.I. started Campaign on Veteran dificullty, the Ai later in the mission just rapes me and my teammates, talk about vehicles, plenty of them, the IR lasers, flashlights add immersion to, it's basicly what I ever wanted Arma 2 to be

If any of you are taking requests I would love to see more night pics/videos (without NVG's) and lightsources (lamps, searchlights, etc). Really looking forward to the improved lighting engine and to see more night ops in general.

Ohh, another question.... is the fog issue we have in A2 fixed in OA?

Had my first full shot last night, love it.
Renamed my exe to ARMA2 to get SLi working and the performance is good, all settings higher than my previous ARMA2 ones. Game looks stunning.
Spent the evening on a CTI server and found I had to adjust my play style to suit the new surroundings. Not to sure about the three team CTI, being the first army wiped out isn't much fun (usually the woefully equipped independents). Maybe a spectator option or switch to civvy to doss around in a town somewhere would be good to help while away the time waiting for the second team to get gubbed.

I enjoyed travelling everywhere on foot in Cherno and even though the scenery is more barren it is still pretty enough to enjoy the walk, just got to be more aware as you are more easily spotted now.

I'll keep it in the editor for me

But I'm still looking forward to the campaign. The whole warfare thing in ArmA 2 ruined it for me so I hope this one is much better.

Warfare ruined the online aspect you mean?

1: How is the lighting engine improved? 2: What fog issue?

There's CTI stock in the game now!? I thought they took that out in A2. (I haven't played MP in months)

I will probably be making some HD videos this afternoon (CET). Mostly fiddled around with the settings yesterday to get the best recording results in FRAPS. Let me know if you want to see anything specific.

There were warfare missions in the arma 2 campaign. Did you play it?

Not all the way through. I play in the editor, armory, and online mostly.

1. I still cant even get over 30 FPS with all settings low and PP effects disabled.

2. But ArmA 2 ran GREAT at patch 1.05...why not OA?

3. That's probably the problem, because I have a 4870x2. It runs ArmA 2 AMAZINGLY, but in OA my FPS is dreadful.

Have you tried renaming the OA exe to Arma2.exe (to fool your crossfire)?

[JuggernautOfWar]

So in what ways is the lighting engine improved in OA?

Well, if it isn't too much trouble, could you please film some views of the positions (commander, gunner, driver, "ride in back") inside the M2A3 Bradley, including the different view modes (3D interior, optics, FLIR, stepped zoom levels). I keep wondering how well it's modeled, but I don't think I've seen a video that shows more than the driver position, nor do I remember seeing any FLIR video from any of the ground vehicles (only from the AH-64, ULB, and TWS). Thanks in advance!
