All the usual suspects. It seems to me Military games should just pool their resources and stop building the same guns over and over. How many times has an AK47 been modeled? Someone needs to do a super high rez one and sell it on Turbo Squid.

It's the real sequel to Operation Flashpoint. Its essentially a war simulator where youre allowed to do everything between infantry and armored combat (including piloting jets and helicopters). Everything in-game is made to resemble and perform like its real life counterparts as closely as possible.

Factions will also have a different arsenals. So you could even say it is a necessity.

I believe you do not understand the mechanics of this genre (game).

VaLiancY · Mar 31, 2009

The only big differences between the guns are just ammo capacity, range, damage, material penetration and sightings.

Have no fears fine friend, this is when the mod community comes in.

ghst said:

Accuracy? Probably the old AKs from what I remember with ArmA1 but I always opted for tank crew so I'd get a short range personal defense weapon.

Ah the memories of my friendly kills.

Weight, reload speed, mobility, dimensions, visibility, muzzle flash, recoil, firing rate, ammo types, accuracy..

supposed to be june. but who knows.

Zenith · Apr 9, 2009

50-something vehicles. These aren't all of them. They're missing all the variants, the Avenger and that big ass naval assault ship that doubles as an aircraft carrier.

Frencherman · Apr 9, 2009

What else do you need to win a war?

speedpop · Apr 9, 2009

That Stormtrooper bicycle is absolutely bitchin'.

dorkimoe · Apr 12, 2009

so uhh i just found out about this game via a forum members screenshot in the pc thread

(first arma)

so he said its just like ofp, so i instantly bought it, trying to get the damn thing to work now

ill buy arma 2 day 1 if i can get into the first one

Ether_Snake · Apr 12, 2009

It sounds good, I liked BF2, but I wonder if this game is some mega hard core game or what.

dorkimoe · Apr 12, 2009

pretty mad right now

i want to play the first one so bad it hurts

but the game doesnt load after i just paid 20 bucks for it...might as well have thrown it out the window

Cobra84 · Apr 12, 2009

Damn, the Marines' apcs and the Avenger might as well be spit wad shooters compared to the BMP-3 and the 2S6M Tunguska. Hopefully the US has an advantage with the M1A2 vs T-90 and with the helicopters and aircraft.

It would be nice to see the C-130 carry some vehicles and not just soldiers.

They're missing the Avenger.

Its stealthily hidden away on the game's facebook page - http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...81968266016_72200346016_2126269_2469103_n.jpg

First thing I thought of was the Reliant Van from Only Fools & Horses.

Anyway, after being a massive Op Fap fan, I criminally missed out on ArmA, I will not make the same mistake twice.

As for the "how hardcore is this game" questions, the answer is simple: SO hardcore. Op Fap was one of the first squad based war games I played where "going rambo" just never worked, ever, lots of fun though.

Fake edit: going to war in a MK3 Golf: win. (Reminds me of the episode of Top gear where Clarkson done a beach landing in a Fiesta)

I want one of those.

Lyon · Apr 12, 2009

I didn't think I cared until I saw all those screenies, looks super.

PS Where the choppers/jets hard to fly in the original? I mean, are they... simmy?

Zenith · Apr 12, 2009

Lyon said:

No, thankfully. Also Arma/OFP is hardcore but it's not impenetrable like some flight sims are. Sort of similar to the early ghost recon/rainbow games in difficulty.

Anyway, after being a massive Op Fap fan, I criminally missed out on ArmA, I will not make the same mistake twice.

there's a demo available. I think it also has the mission editor with it.

and for the people who seem to have inexplicably never heard of it, despite press, trailers and threads of said press for OFP, Arma1 and Arma2 some ingame screens that never fail to impress me:

Llyranor · Apr 12, 2009

Is ArmA2 going to retain Bohemia's 'Game 2' planned design, aka massive dynamic battlefields with AI chain of commands with dynamic objectives?
