So I haven't bought Arma II yet, especially since even the demo CTDs on me, but in the last week everyone seems to have left Arma I multiplayer games. I was hoping that Arma I would slowly die away, but it kicked the bucket pretty fast.

Is online life pretty awesome for Arma II? Should I wait a bit for some bug fixes or a non DRM-ed version to come out, or is there nothing to wait for and I should get it now now now?

I can recommend it if you play Arma II with people over TS. Then it's really awesome, even there are some bugs here and there.

However I can't enjoy playing Arma 2 on random online servers. There are too many people tking on purpose and you hardly will find any teamplay.

There are still many bugs in singleplayer campaign. But the main problem is the KI. The enemy KI is extreme hard as they can sometimes spot you through walls and the team KI is completely stupid.

However I didn't play Arma I, so I can't say how polished it was concerned to part II.

 

[Tomcat_ha]

that is a actual feature of arma 2?

lol

Just get it Britney, choose your servers carefully for on-line play and enjoy the campaign and the player made single/co-op missions which are starting to filter through.

 

[Divinehammer]

I too have not bought it waiting on some reports. The multiplayer doesnt sound like to much fun yet. Will we be forming some groups from these boards to play co-op missions and such?

 

[SheepDip]

I just played through all the demo levels, and I was very surprised how well it ran, and how much I enjoyed it. I might actually have to purchase it now!

nVidia have released an SLI patch.

Works with the 182.xx driver.

If you have SLI then you need this patch.

 

[M.C.Darkness]

My rig can run the game pretty well on the demo at least, but I've found several bugs even playing that.....I intend to purchase the game after a few more patches are released.

Hopefully most of the bugs will be "squashed" by then..

 

[SheepDip]

I've been playing the campaign for a few hours now, really enjoying it and haven't had any problems running it. Couple of small bugs I've encountered haven't really affected anything at all.

Reminds me a lot more of Operation Flashpoint than ArmA did.

All details on Medium with shadows and postprocessing on high, vis is at 1800m and I'm getting a good steady fps around 30+ even in built up or in the forests. Even with the relatively low fps it does seem very smooth to play.

Rig I'm running it on, if you're wondering if you can run it is

AMD Phenom X4 9750
4GB 6400 DDR2
Sapphire Radeon 4850 Toxic

 

[Britney Federline]

Well, I got a new CPU (Q6700) and a new monitor (finally, no CRT for me!), and got Arma2. I'm quite happy with the performance with details set to normal, no AA, no postprocessing. I can run it smoothly at 1920x1200.

It's fun. I may have to come back to you guys for tips on completing the SP campaign and getting all of the little evidence bits, completing every side mission, etc.

That was quick of the mark, watabouttehtools?

 

[Dcode]

Game crashes when i resume my campaign.

Have to revert. Dunno if this is standard practice for patching.

 

[Tomcat_ha]

lots of games dont like old pre patch campaign saves so nothing unusual.

 

[Dcode]

You can revert to the start of the mission, not the entire campaign.

That's logical, considering they changed stuff in the mission themselves.
When you are trying to load an old savegame, it tries to load stuff that might not be there anymore, or stuff that should be there in the new patch but isnt.
Simply put, the mission files dont match anymore.

 

[Dcode]

Yeah i should have thought about that before posting.

**** happens
