Latest ArmA2 & ArmA2:OA Press Coverage | NO discussion here!

[quicKsanD]

Hmm very interesting reviews.I was looking at the italian ones since as a Romanian I have the innate ability to understand everything without ever studying the language and I thought they have a different version of Arma 2 because it's localized in Italian
which is in 505 area but in the video it's still 1.01.57751

The italian gives high praise to Arma 2 story lauding it's dynamic gameplay,story,RPG elements and cinematography.
They like the unique gameplay but acknowledge it's progressively more frustrating and it's hard not to feel overwhelmed when at the end you are able to command platoon sized infantry,but the realism and tension makes up for that.
And finally they also like the graphics-lightening system,textures,details,overall atmoshphere virtually everything except animations.
Audio too gets high marks,so does AI for their aggressive tactics and they end up giving a warm recomandation for the game.

Such contrasting reviews.Never has a game been so polarizing like Arma 2.The 505 release should be the final word on how the game will be regarded(excellent)

What has all this Kindergarten-Fuzz to do with Arma 2 Press Coverage ?
Maybe it would be a smart move to create a "Arma 2 - The upcoming demo" thread, later renamed to " Arma 2 - The demo" ?

[*Placebo*]

All demo posts cut to the "OFFICIAL ARMA2 Demo thread", so now Balschoiw can go back to whinging about other topics

Trying to keep the forum sorted and informative is "whinging"?

Hi all

The 1000 AI and 1500 AI and now 1700 AI videos on youtube have started to make an impression on the media

The French are even calling ArmA the future of FPS

Feels weird to see a BIS game compared to large scale Call of Duty in real time, with all the explosions and all that kamikaze nonsense.. in the dark so the tracer fire and explosions stand out, please..
I would be more impressed to see a single armoured platton engage in realistic ranges and make use of the terrain for cover, same with helicopters.

Maybe Arma II handles more stuff going on due to multiple core cpu support, maybe we could already do this type of nonsense with Armed Assault on a modern rig.. anyway its pointless, theres lots of a.i. in there but they arent performing anything close to simulation grade.

Maybe you are right HS but it still sure is impressive from a scale point of view. The infantry AI is what I'm interested in and that feels very much upgraded to me. Hopefully Armor and Air will be next...
