In the screenshot showring the settings used to test the game they show 1280x1024 resolution and 4:3 aspect ration which is wrong as it should be 5:4.And then they have the nerve to answer Maruk they didn't screw up the settings,they did and the squashing is obvious.
Secondly,the lack of any AA clearly gives it a rough look so they should not claim it's on highest settings.

And last of all I really like the vibes the game is giving me.The foliage and object textures changes from Arma are very welcomed and they make the game look Operation Flashpoint gritty in a 2009 gaming world.This game has so much potential I am willing to wait a few extra months to tune performance,AI and stuff like radio chat

Talking ...Just to clarify and to get back on topic

I doubt the United States would change its flag to the Taiwanese flag, even in a fictional, futuristic setting.



Well, the number on the ship is either a nine or eight, judging by the pictures.

Currently, there is no LHA-8, LHA-9, LHD-8, or LHD-9, so Bohemia Interactive is using a fictional, "made-up" ship.
It's a little late where I am, so let me clarify from my initial rantings...:
  • Fictional name for the ship
  • Flag: Thought you meant the the game box...there is a white star in the background... edited my initial comment to clarify that part. Think I completely confused you with my intiial comment re: flag...apologies...
...Any way back on topic...

Surely the quality of the game is not represented in these images!?

Will have to look closer at the other previews that come out...not too sure about the 486dx system that Tiscali seem to be using for some of these somewhat random images!

Im sure the quality is like that when you go lower settings. It will most definatelly even look much worse when you go very low on everything. Test ARMA1 on very low on everything. Tiscali says they have it on HIGH wich means the quick quality selector. It will change some things to HIGH and some to NORMAL etc.

ARMA2 like ARMA1 i think will be best off changing every option manually. You can have lower res but with AA and get it to look good for example. Those guys skipped the AA or have it on LOW so it looks crappier. ARMA2 very high will look amazing but will need PC power for sure.

Personally I think their "attempt" to try and give ArmA2 a bad name has totally backfired on them and with the community obviously not fooled all they are going to do is damage themselves. However the question still stands "Why do they hate BIS?"

I think this one is down for maybe the devs to answer directly

Guys cool your jets. I actually liked the full preview, it was very in debt, and honest about what the reviewer thought about the build.

It will be very interesting to read the upcoming other previews, now that the journalists can really sit down with the build and spend some time on it, so that we can get much more in debt information and a LOT of new screen shots.

A last note before bed time. I really wished ARMA2 would have working backpacks. Cant see how it wont get it tbh. We have seen the nice looking backpacks from some screenshots and videos. Would be a waste if they were just eyecandy since in real battle you do have assistant gunners with extra ammo etc. Hope its all WIP or not yet shown function. Night all.

Wow, Tiscali writter calling ArmA II "cosmetic"... thats what almost all of guys in my squad are saying for quite some time now I remain an optimist and I'm hopeful we'll get a polished product from Bohemia.
I still have shivers when we travelled to Czech Rep. to get first copies of v1.00 and experienced bunch of bugs (luckly not as many as Soldner's first release, hehe). Hell, we're still using ArmA beta patch for months now

Since we're on the topic, wanted to chime in here and show some examples of what A2 looks like for me at 'very high' settings.

Click on any of them for higher-res versions.
