I hope they do the same for the vehicles.

Hail Dragunov

[TheListener]

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.

[Dina]

What is ArmA 2?

[Pein]

What is ArmA 2?

a game with a lot of guns?

[Danne-Danger]

OMNOMNOM

Hopefully my PC will be upgraded and ready when this comes out.

[ghst]

i'm so happy this game exists.

[MrTroubleMaker]

:O nice!!!

[Dina]

a game with a lot of guns?

Shockingly, I'm not yet sold. Tell me more.

[ice cream]

What's the point of having so many guns?!

[Danne-Danger]

Shockingly, I'm not yet sold. Tell me more.

It's the real sequel to Operation Flashpoint. It’s essentially a war simulator where you’re 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.

What's the point of having so many guns?!

Diversity and realism.

[{Mike}]

It still misses a cat silencer

Fail

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

[Ikuu]

Can't wait to play this with my controller for even more realism.

[noire]

Oh man... I didn't care at first, then I watched the video and thought 'ok, this looks like operation flashpoint... awesome!' Then I saw that it's by the original OF devs. I'm kind of excited now :D :D :D :D

[cameltoe]

I like what you did there sir....:D

[MrPing1000]

please be good please be good oh ffs please be good.

[Frencherman]

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

[VaLiancY]

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

That's what she said.

[~Devil Trigger~]

no FAMAS :(

[ghst]

which one aims itself the best?

[VaLiancY]

no FAMAS :(

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

which one aims itself the best?

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.

[Joseph Merrick]

goty

[wolfmat]

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

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

Fuck, shall I go on?

[evil solrac v3.0]

when is this game out? and this game shall be mine.

[Joseph Merrick]

when is this game out? and this game shall be mine.

supposed to be june. but who knows.

[Zenith]

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]

What else do you need to win a war? :D

[speedpop]

That Stormtrooper bicycle is absolutely bitchin'.

[VaLiancY]

USMC Hueys. Fuck yeah!

[dorkimoe]

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]

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

[Red Blaster]

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

Total understatement.

[evil solrac v3.0]

so hard...

[ghst]

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

if cod 4 is the comic, this is the operators manual.

[dorkimoe]

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]

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/hphotos..._2469103_n.jpg

[DrM]

Nice to see Golf 3 or 4 in action :lol

[comrade]

I'll fly the jet, everyone else can ride the bicycle.

[PjotrStroganov]

Imagine four heavily armed guys arriving at the battlefield in a golf.:lol

[thetrin]

All I need to win a war is some guns and my Zlut Wagon.

[industrian]

All I need to win a war is some guns and my Zlut Wagon.

I'm getting Terminator 2 vibes off that vehicle.

[Tokubetsu]

M4 and G36? Everything else is gravy.

[RaySpencer]

That Stormtrooper bicycle is absolutely bitchin'.

its also a real bike: Montague Paratrooper

[Stop It]

I'm getting Terminator 2 vibes off that vehicle.

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)

[industrian]

I want one of those.

[Lyon]

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]

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

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]

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