ARMA II is out

[[GCA]Crisisk]

http://www.armedassault2.eu/

Released

It seems like the game is full of bugs, just as Arma. They released a "Beta Patch" to solve the biggest issues: http://www.arma2.com/

Also availible on pre-release on Steam, but a lot cheaper on eBay: http://shop.ebay.de/items/_W0QQ_nkwZarmedQ20assaultQ202QQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_ mdoZ

Has anyone tried it?

PS: it seems like it was only released in germany :nerd:

[[GCA]Kravixon]

Richy has a German copy he's playing. Talk to him on TS about it.

Seems interesting... full of bugs yet though.

Graphics are also pretty sub par... as expected.

I will be out in the rest of the EU in a couple weeks, not sure when in North America.

'bout the bugs...
German Has smth like beta release :D.
As far as I know those bugs are minor and were pretty much solved with new patch already.
Biggest bug was connected with AI but it's already fixed by the patch. (Now AI is way better then in ARMA II, my friends are saying they're impressed when they compare it to old ARMA)
Guys that are playing it now tells me that basically this game have less bugs than ArmA 1 had, and also as I told those bugs should be eliminated before worldwide release also a few features will be add (like generated terrain with trees and bushes outside the map so you can even fly XXX km from the map and still have ground and even can land there and check the area) and a lot more.

Also minimal requirement is bigger than in Arma 1 but in general it runs better than the old one on the same hardware if you will fully those requirements :).

I have this amrma tooo but have to w8 until pay day (next week) to buy new graphic card becouse my old one (Ge Force 7300GT) is under minimal requirements for this game (some graphic problems like not loading textures etc. not even my Quad and 2GB RAM can help to run it game to be playable with this card :/)

I installed English Patch and I have Polish Language :O

True. Bought GTA IV off the bat :)

But I only bought Empire Total War, BF2, WC3 after "trying" them out. One of the reasons I like theHunter so much is that they have a free trial open forever with a certain type of deer and they don't force you to upgrade at all unless you feel like trying out something else. :)

I stopped liking ArmA when in the first mission after a painfully long drive to the battle I got shot in the legs and forced to a crawl, to which my squad leader reacted by giving me an order to crawl to a first aid station 4 km away or some equally ridiculous distance.

Operation Flashpoint, on the other hand, was awesome fun. Except that murderous forest mission.

Or is that the wrong impression?

It says no entry.profilepathDefault and after that start to load or something and it looks like its going to start the game. But then I get another error message saying shaders not valid(mismatch of exe and data).

Anyone having similar problems?

I am running Vista 64-bit, can that be an issue?

[[GCA]Kravixon]

The version we have does not have FADE, as I understand. People complain about accuracy because the engine is retarded.

[Richy]

accuracy is better than pr....

[[GCA]Kravixon]

At least you can understand how PR's works.

[[GCA]Wyspa]

Is this accuracy system changed since ArmA 1 (stil w8ing for graphic card to test on my own) cuz I liked this system in ArmA and OFP... it is a lot better IMO then the PR one...

[Richy]

The accuracy system tries to simulate real life conditions. if you have been running a long time or if you are injured, you accuracy will be less than a healthy soldier.

As for deviation, there is very little "side to side" deviation, like in PR, however bullet drop is more apparent and realistic in ARMA2, as PRs bullet drop values have hardcoded limits.

Another PR to ARMA comparison is that the rounds that you fire come out of the rifle, rather than the middle of your screen, so wherever your reddot or iron is pointing, that is where the round will go.

[[GCA]SnowControl]

Which means there is more skill and less luck involved (since you can counter a movement you see). Good good!

[[GCA]Zar2Roc]

I'm still not being able to hit anything more than 30m away. Even with M1A1. Will train a bit but this is weird.

[[GCA]Bisshop]

Bullets out of your gun sounds lovely.
Beside that it sounds like PR with other (perhaps more realistic) deviation factors.

[[GCA]Uncle Blues]

Zar2Roc;9807']I'm still not being able to hit anything more than 30m away. Even with M1A1. Will train a bit but this is weird.
It's probably FADE. Arma's Copy Protection. This is how it works. :shifty2:

[[GCA]Bisshop]

[Richy]

Yep thats FADE for ya. i remember when i torrented arma1, fade kicked in and jets started crashing into me and ak's sniped me from across the map

[[GCA]NickO]

PR is pure Fun since it still incorporates (however much its slowed it down & balanced it) the vbf2 aspect of fighting.

Arma 2 is a military simulator where you roleplay together. Personally I don't play games to make me feel like im in the army, I play games which gets my heart pumping and which don't have missions like walk through this field and through this village and then next mission.

Any targets past 100m in (even less too) arma 2 are mostly impossible to hit. Best tactic is to hide behind a tree and let your guys take care of it. This is the impression of 90% of the people I have spoken to.

[[GCA]Zar2Roc]

Uninstalled it NickO, FADE made it nearly impossible to score 15 points on shooting range in Boot Camp. Will a demo version or sth be released? It really sucks when you need to take 8 shots on 120m with M1A1 to hit the target.

[[GCA]Tequnique]

any link to the crack version?

ARma 2 has endless of possibillities...
You can easly create PR type missions and emulate the gameplay as the mission editor is so versatile...
However the problem with ARma 2 is that there are so many gamestyles that people spread out on hundreds of servers..
as for PR the servers seem to be crowded most of the time.

IMO Arma has allways been my favorite.. but when nobody wants to play it and I love Human vs human experience.. what can I do but to feel sorry for my self and masturbate?

[[GCA]SnowControl]

Ooooooovershaaaaring!

[[GCA]Bisshop]

That's what I hate about Arma. Its a co-op game against bots.
I've never had any good versus experiences.

[[GCA]Kravixon]

It can play out all human on human.

Arma is no simulator like some play-fearing people try to put it. It is indeed, a game, like any other. The problem is controlling a character, like NickO eluded to. That's the biggest fault I find (aside from AI and such, but that is to be expected). It is so hard to put your virtual body in ways you want it to. This is also the case in PR, but we don't notice it. Ever wonder how that guy shot you through cover? Part of you probably wasn't in cover, you just didn't know.

[[GCA]Uncle Blues]

Bisshop;9816']Is that your excuse for not hitting anything either Blues? :p

That's right. ;) People need to have excuses for almost everything to feel better and live longer.:p

Arma'a problem is the first impression. The game is simply too complex for an average player. In Arma you can move forward in 9 different ways! And that's only one direction! Add invisible enemies, who kill you instantly, when you lean from behind a corner (my first impression from Operation Flashpoint :p) and you get "This game sucks. I'm going back to solitare".

[[GCA]Wyspa]

I played Arma 1 a lot and what I can say that if U will get used to the movment, shooting etc it's just the best...
I love this way of playing...
'bout human vs human...
well to be honest ArmA is this type of game where U have to find good Team/Community to play with otherwise it's a waste of time...
I used to play with Polish Community the CFOG guys
They organizing some campains as well human vs human and co-op too.
Now there is one co-op campain running on ArmA 1, they even have site stylized to look like a news paper with all the nesw about the mission and fighting progress, also there are some rules and rpg elements like assest... They have some assest on the start and if they lose it in one mission they have to w8 for repairs/replacement mht like 2 missions ahead and thats not only feature added to this campain.
Not lucky for U all only for polish speaking guys ;)

[[GCA]NickO]

Salah ad Din;9840']NickO, it's FADE. Don't bash a game, just because it has an effective copy protection.

Its not FADE because FADE is painfully obvious. I am not turning into a seagull, I am not getting sniped, planes aren't smashing into me and the AI actually follow orders instead of running in circles.

This is simply how the game is. As I said I have talked with at least 10 people who have the game who have confirmed it.

[[GCA]Xan]

Yeah, I do find it hard to hit things with a rifle but not hard enough to think it's FADE's fault. I usually just fire three or four rounds and it works.

LMGs on the other hand are very accurate.

Still, it's ridiculous how using the gun's sights seems more like a disadvantage compared to zooming in without them.

[[GCA]Xan]

I didn't really do that mission because there were no spaces in any tanks and forcing a crewman out would have been mean.

That and I sort of assumed the game didn't want me fighting and I was supposed to be a commander because I could buy units.



While this game has a bunch of nice things and I don't hate it like the first ArmA, it still has an absolutely terrible interface that seems specifically designed to be counter intuitive. That is not good game design. Flashpoint was guilty of the same, but not to this extent.

[[GCA]Bisshop]

I take it pressing the use key still brings up a dozen options you really don't wanna see when you're under fire and just wanna bail out or in of stuff?

Anyone wants to guess what FPS I will get with the following system?

Ive got the same card (except its 512mb), a somewhat faster processor, same amount of ram.

on my 24" (1920x1080) screen, I get roughly 30-35 FPS on the "normal" overall setting (which sets everything to normal but uses the High setting for shadows) when outdoors with plenty of grass/bushes/trees/ and some vehicles/soldiers moving around.

You should probably get 35-40 FPS at the same settings. See the above screenshot for what it looks like at those settings.

naa that aint true, modified files cant make FADE kick in, as the default files got modified all the time in arma 1.

[[GCA]Wyspa]

There is a way to deal with that fade.
1st instal this org.reg file
LINK (http://www.sendspace.com/file/whurml)
It should do the trick :)
Also to prevent fade in kicking in again in the future instead of crack U should use mini image also when using mini image you can install patches
According to this instructions
* Install the game - Full Installation.
* Mount the ARMA2.MDS Mini-Image in DAEMON Tools Lite v4.30.4.
* Use an anti-blacklisting tool, like Y.A.S.U v1.6.9040, to to avoid blacklisting of virtual drive(s).
* After cloaking terminate Y.A.S.U using the Task Manager (Don't use the 'Terminate YASU' window that will pop up, but wait for the End Task window -> End now)
NOTICE by Wyspa
-terminating Y.A.S.U is not always needed only if it gives you a problem with SecuROM try closing Yasu, or try having Daemon tools open and closing yasu, it's all about fiddling with it

* Play the Game!

LINK to the files (http://m0001.gamecopyworld.com/games/pc_arma_2.shtml)
Notice that:
-It's recommended to use Daemon Tools PRO because you can have some problems in Lite edition...
-Also this is essential to set in Daemon Tools

Yes, but they were most likely loaded as a mod rather than overwriting the originals.

If I'm wrong let me know, but by loading the English language files as a mod on my own re-install, I got rid of all the random weird errors and the stupid bird thing.

It's not bad,I'd say the (non scripted) sentences are a bit smoother then the English ones.
For example:"One be careful enemy officer south east",close.
Instead of:One.Be careful. Enemy! Officer! South East.Close. :)
No accents either.

Using Nicko's version from the TPB - which is not exactly fully playable,but still gives a really good idea of what the game has to offer.
Looking at the editor mostly,will probably get the box once it's out in N.A.
Never really played the 1st ARMA (few minutes with the demo) or the OFP so it's all new to me :knockout:

The fill rate optimizer has to be at 100% otherwise it kills the performance,also seems like there is no multy gpu (SLI/CF) which makes
it hard to crank the settings up.I've heard that anti aliasing will be (is?)
supported after a patch or 2 - will see.
Want to try the multiplayer - could be really good - supposedly there is no
limit on the # of players,although 50 seems to be the most when looking

[[GCA]Dosedmonkey]

So whats multiplayer like? Squad based co-op mostly? Or vs. also. how many players can it handle.

[[GCA]Socketman]

"Fill rate optimizer" sets the actual resolution that you card needs to process internally:setting it higher then 100% will force ur card to process a higher
resolution and then scale it down to what your screen is set to.
That is also how Anti Aliasing works,so in a way this is basically AA

Let's say we have an image with resolution of 1920x1280, we can re size it
to say 1280x1024 without any loss in quality,in fact it will look even better.


Setting the filtrate to less then 100% will force the card to process at lower resolution and then "blow it up" to fit your screen -just like taking a small
image and magnifying it -looks like shit but uses little resources.

[[GCA]Salah ad Din]

so, best would be to simply put it at 100%. Then the card will process exactly whats needed for the screen I am using.

Strangely, when I first started the game, the standard settings where somewhere around 80%. Go figure that.

I have bought it today :rockon: i have just test practice ! it s very nice. My portable PC can support it:cool:

[[GCA]Crisisk]

Lol I uninstalled it as it messed up something with my net Framework and I cant play my so much loved GTA4 anymore

I played to missions and I had enough of it...I wasted 3hours at least for these 2 missions, and sometimes the permormance just crashes

Arma 2 seem more buggy than ARma 1, but much more promising.
I think they will work harder and faster to fix the bugs, with good help from the community.
In a couple of patches they will most likely release the ACE mod for Arma II as well..
and if ACE does to Arma 2 what it did to Arma 1 its going to be more than awesome for me.

So what I say is: DONT expect this game to be the final product...
instead look at it as a new beginning to a foundation for the community to build on...
and when it's done..it is the communties game - not the companazies.

Fill rate @ 200 on that one ^^ I bet,probably why it's in slow motion too ;)
Can't get anything over 5-10 fps otherwise.

That's pretty cool imo -the 3d editor (ALT-E)
Can someone upload the pdf manual please?

The English version :razz:

[[GCA]Dosedmonkey]

After playing PR 0860 I can't imagine it being any more buggy.

My copy of Arma II will be delivered sometime next week btw. ;)

That map editor is like flashpoints, i was really hoping for that!!

Kinda destroys immersion, though.

Bloom hampers my immersion in games. In life there is very little bloom. Proper HDR I'm fine with when it's done well, but it's almost never done well.

Most devs seem to use both those tools as a "look how awesome our game is it has this much bloom". They need to learn the value of subtlety.

[[GCA]Salah ad Din]

So, I guess you have 20/20 vision? :D

I have lens flare a bit in my left eye and a tiny ammount in right.

Hello everyone. It's my first post on this forum and most of you probably don't know me. I usually sit on polish folks' channel. Here is a link which may interest you:

The mission seems to be some kind of mix Sector Control and Project Reality + some ArmA possibilities. It is still work-in-progress so it will last some time when it will be released and hopefully this mission will fill the gap in ArmA's TvT mode.

[[GCA]Kravixon]

Uwaga Rozek! Hi hi. Do say hello to us anglophones some time on TS, and thansk for the link!

[[GCA]Salah ad Din]

Nice find, Rozek.

And LOL at post #9 in that thread by the RIP guy.

Excellent, just tell me what you need. Might I suggest however that we stop referring to devastation as a game mode based on a certain BF2 mod? Aforementioned mod is now a private company and this would be a direct challenge to their market share, they may cause trouble. Just a thought from a conversation with our clan leader.

[[GCA]Deme]

Ugh, when economy indirectly censors everyday communication, that would be a clear sign to most that its gone too far. What are they gonna do? -track down your IP, come to your hose, point a gun to your head and ask you to never mention PR again?

Anyhow, sounds promising, and nice to see you posting Rozek. :)

[[GCA]Dosedmonkey]

A mod that has no funding or profitering or any hand in money, or contracts for those who created the content, surely can no have a market share in legal context anyway.

[Rożek]

Beta version of the mission (0.1) has been released. I have already been testing it and it is very promising. You can test it for your own - http://dump.no/files/e06052ade623/Devastation01_SAvL_48_Pavlovo.Chernarus.pbo.7z

Sorry, link fixed ;)

[[GCA]Haddock]

Yess... I final got my self a copy :)
I had to order it from UK since no copy's have been available in Sweden for a while due to screw up by main distributor.

[[GCA]Sgt Bilko]

Wow, I must have been lucky? Ordered it two days before release. Must have been one of the few.

[[GCA]SnowControl]

Its not out on steam yet?

[[GCA]Haddock]

It is but that was a very expensive alternative.
