[Game] The Armed Assault thread
- Thread starter Ghad
- Start date
picked up this game as a right bargin (thankfully, as it doesnt run very well on my pc as suspected)
my version is 1.04 out the box- i see most servers now on 1.14
in looking up patches it seems i need to get 1.05 patch (466mb)
then 1.05- 1.08 (578mb)
and finally a 'mere' 141mb to get me to 1.14
Is a single patch available?
any other recommendations for game additions? (though i'm after stuff thats widely played tbh, at least while im getting into the game)

If you have Queen's Gambit installed, you'll be on 1.08, then you only need the 1.14 patch.
If you dont have QG, i think there should be a single patch somewhere to go from 1.04 to 1.08, then from that to 1.14.
That's what i can remember though, but maybe there is no such patch, i'm not sure.

dogbadger, make sure you get madmatts arma effects and sixth sense tracers and I recommend the Hifi FX soundpack

Thanks - i finally got it to 1.04 step by step - it took ages. It seems the performance is much smoother after patching
Have to say I absolutely love it so far - obviously it's quite like OFP (particularly with my graphics settings!) but without the arseache organising/finding multiplayer games.
It's pretty much my favourite type of shooter, and the best excuse for a pc upgrade i've had for a long time.
The first ArmA2 trailer

Hmm interesting trailer..
Pros:
-Awesome looking vegetation/forests
-Even better 3rd person animations
Cons:
-FFS looks like they still dont have any real 1st person animations
-Gore still looks bad as if they copied it directly from ArmA. They should take an example of CoD:WaW. I bet they still have players flying 2km through the air when being hit by a tank round(while not moving at all)

I think it looks more promising than I expected. I still expect it to feel vaguely disappointing/hollow. The basic premise sounds like Queen's Gambit in a different terrain--a small special ops team saves an entire country?
Seems more like ArmA 1.5 to me.

Ho ho ho ho. The only thing that interests me in ArmA 2 is the so called "Micro AI". Otherwise, I'm looking forward for OFP2 atm.

With all that technology and processing power of today I still don't understand why they haven't combined the seperate 1st person and 3rd person rendering yet in 1st person view.
Something along the lines of Mirror's Edge.
I mean, c'mon how awesome would that be? It would also decrease developing time aswell as make it visually look better.

The gore should just be a simple decal system, like bullet holes in walls only.. on models. Tons of games do it, but OFP decided to use limb-specific damage skins because it saves having to keep track of dozens of decals and crap.
LOD could probably solve that problem. Damage skins at a distance, decals up close, no big deal.

Uploaded the trailer to my youtube account. I like it, AI does seem improved, combined with the great terrain and some open-ended conflict stuff, this will be a definite buy for me.

Well this time around they are going to use an entire core for the AI, so i guess it'll have plenty of horsepower for a good AI, at least one that can take cover now.
The AI seams to be the thing they have worked the most on, so im not really worried about that. What I am worred about tho is that we probably are gonna get the same level of realism that was in OFP (with some minor improvements), like no thermals or IR, tab-fire-tab-fire-tab-fire gunnery and gay radar. "The Ultimate Military Simulation", right...
