[Game] The Armed Assault thread

[Quenaelin]

Now I got demo working better and somehow playable. I still haven't played online, becouse I think frame rate is too low for that. Changed scene complexity to 35000 and changed color depth to 16 bits and everything else is very low, except shadows which is low. There is slight change to be able to run this game with manageable frame rates with my old rig

Armed Assault Zone Meet BIS

Armed Assault Zone Meet BIS

Ok as promised here is the full report of the Armed Assault Zone & BIS meeting from London.
The Article covers some key aspects of the game and we get some exclusive Q&A's with Markus Kurzawa (Armed Assault Designer) we also have some unseen screens of the new content that will be available in the 505 Games release.

Here's a small extract of the article:

Markus confirmed there would be new missions in the 505 release that will incorporate the new content. There will also be multiple new features and tweaks on existing content so that the game is given a full overhaul before release. One notable new feature is different armour values for tanks.
Real life weak spots on tanks will be brought into the new armour system. For instance, a shell or rocket into the join between the turret and chassis on a T72 will hit the ammo store causing the tank to burst into flames. On both M1A1 and T72 tanks, the rear of the tank will be more vulnerable among other specific hit zones.

does that mean not every tank will explode into a ball of fire?

 

[Jammydodger]

No it just means that they have improved the hit detection on the tanks and armour system, unless they do plan on having a different aftermath damage system, we were not aware of it tho.

Cheers

This is unplayable with my videocard! X300 ^^

 

[Makabi]

I have an X300 SE and I could run the demo with a smooth framerate, although the graphics were set at their lowest settings.

 

[DraKon2k]

I wonder if I would get more than 3fps with my Radeon 9800 Pro

 

[Arto1990]

probably not lol

 

[BlitzForce]

shoddy coding...

 

[SiC-Disaster]

really, the way ArmA looks right now, things in the distances look even worse then my good old Operation Flashpoint

I love the 'warping vehicles/men at 100m+'

 

[[5.SS]Strother]

The demo is boring and easy. Not many people play it now anyways. CTF is the best to play and if I want to I can go a whole 30 minute round without dieing and getting my share of kills and flag caps. The problem is when the ai is enabled and the bastards snipe you through trees and bushes.

shoddy coding...

and bad optimization

We will be opening the Arma League from the 24th of February and each season runs for 4 months, so make sure you get yourself signed up ASAP.


There will also be prizes for the top squads at the end of each season.

ArmA needs more variety in WEAPOOONS.
I know it may not be realistic but why not. Let's see what mods will do in the future.

 

[Capt.Marion]

from what I've heard, give it time, as OFP ****ed *around* this much when it was first released, ages ago...

 

[Profe]

arma needs more weapons!? Once the mod tools are released it's gonna need less weapons.

 

[Kenza]

Ya, more weapons even when the mod tools are out coz it will be 279 different M4 addons and maybe 2 AK addons...

 

[[5.SS]Strother]

lol there are a lot more than 2 ak addons, probably just as many as m4 addons. It's a PITA having to have all those different addons, the best thing you can do is download entire mods and forget about single weapon releases.

 

[Profe]

nah, there's a ****load of armalite style addosn for ofp, you got your sjb, wipman, and other such packs that consist mainly of m-16 and m-4 variants. There are a couple of awesome ak packs. But the addon that takes the cake are the RHS hinds, I can't wait till they are available for ArmA. Oh yea and CoC artillery with nukes and ****. Oh god nukes in ArmA = spooge.
