ArmA II is coming to North America in 2009 and is exclusively for PC. For all the latest information please visit www.arma2.com

So what does that prove? Nothing. We don't know about a console version yet but it was planned that is why the PC version has already X-Box buttons in it.

Nothing, all I know is they were having serious fps issues to port it to x360 (and my source for this is not a website so there is no link, you can choose to believe it or not as I'm not even gonna try to prove it nor do I care really)

True is that if its PC only or not at the end is just speculation from websites (like the one I sent you, but the first time i saw that news was in a spanish one).

If somehow they manage to end up porting it to the consoles, it wouldn't change the fact that all the issues they were having and their own history of releasing games with bad performance tells me that this one is not gonna be an exception.

There is also one preview of the game in a spanish website that already mentions how hardware demanding ArmA2 is.

Anyway, you tell me when you buy it

Edit for post n

They should do the right thing for once and push back the release date half a year (or more if neceassary).

When they announced ArmA2 they said:

Today at Games Convention in Leipzig, Bohemia Interactive announced ArmA 2, its latest military simulation game for PC DVD-ROM and next generation consoles (originally known also as Game 2).

I don't think they know whether or not it is or is not PC exclusive.

Holy balls.. it has COLOR, and looks good!

COLORS **** YEAH

 

[DraKon2k]

looks better somehow

 

[Ralfst3r]

Missing texture on the bolt release HURRRR

 

[Rak]

It's because of too much HDR - DURRRR

 

[Pharnakes]

Yes it does look a lot better. But who knows how much has it been touched up?

I bet it is just the PC version and not the box version and they should rename the game to Operation Fleshpound it isn't a sequel to OFP anyway

 

[LemoN]

mhm, we'll see
im just waiting for the first OFP fansites to review and bash it

 

[DraKon2k]

Another new screen

Nope, still looking crappy.

 

[Ralfst3r]

Dunno, looks ok to me.

 

[fiftyone]

Nice picture.
Needs more in-game stuff.

 

[Bluehawk]

I am intrigued.

 

[KrazyKraut]

Dunno, looks ok to me.

think so too, i like the gritty look.

 

[Pharnakes]

Well the grass draw distance is still very low by the looks of things. Other than that it looks ok, but I still think Arma 2 or even Arma 1 looks better.

Yes very well summed up, grass draw distance is my main complaint as well.

The grain-filter is probably just shopped over the screenshots to trick the eye into thinking it's seeing more detail as it is.
The soldier on the left has a weird pose. Looks almost as if he was prone on something that is angled up too far and now he is angled up too. Lighting on him is pretty bad. The bushes on the hill looks tacked on. Either because they are just shopped in there or because of the lacking shadow. The first person weapon's skin looks pretty low-res, especilly if you think away the grain-filter.

Looks more than good enough for me (as the sheer size is the main draw in the end) but it doesn't look very high-end, tbh.
ArmA2 looks like it has the potential to look better, on the right hardware...
