Looks absolutely f*cking incredible. The player models alone look about 1000% better than those in OFP.

If there's ever a game that's worth spending £££s on upgrades just to run, that would be it. Let's face it, you'll need a super computer to run what they promise on the website. I wonder if they're going to improve the AI to handle combat in FIBUA better?

North/south korea conflict set in 2010 !

:woot:

[PaulClift]

Building on top of the successful Operation Flashpoint addon and modding support.

So we will get the tools in about 2009 then :)

[Ratamacue]

North/south korea conflict set in 2010 !

:woot:Where'd you read this?

[adamicz]

North/south korea conflict set in 2010 !

:woot:

Nope. This is for "Game2". ArmA will be set to the present. But in ArmA will be North vs. South conflict too.

[Kilgor]

Where'd you read this?

ill try and find the link again.. But it was with a interview with one of the programmers giving bits of info away.

[Kilgor]

Kieron Gillen from PC Gamer, the journalist following the events surrounding the future Bohemia Interactive Studios game Armed Assault, has written a scoop on the game in January 2006's edition of the magazine. Here are the best bits:


Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You're given a mission to destroy a convoy of trucks and tanks that are delivering supplies to the front lines. Where do you position your troops? Where do you lay the mines? Who do you target first? Do you blow the satchel charges as the first vehicle passes, or wait for juicy personnel-carriers in the centre? How long do you maintain fire, before closing in and checking the kills?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where once there were technical limitations, there are now only opportunities... ...[Bohemia Interactive Studios] spent three years optimising their engine for a port to the Xbox. Their code is stronger and more flexible for it. Where once you could see to around 500 metres... ....they're aiming for a more realistic two kilometer draw distance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where once there were forests made up of a single block of polygons... ...now there are individual trees. Now you can attack from a forest, and expect the first line of trees to hold, rather than fold as one. Urban areas aren't the embarrasment they once were. Hills now cast shadows. There is now long grass to hide your squad in. Foliage is denser.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All these changes are to be applied... ...to the old campaigns [along with some new missions added in too].
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here, you play an American peacekeeper assigned to defend the South of an island from the despotic Northern regime. The US, in preparing to pull out, triggers an invasion from the angry Northerners... ...The story [is told] in flashback, as you're interrogated by your superior officers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[BIS] are working on creating as big a city as the engine can handle.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So from that, we gather that:


The engine (and hopefully the collision detection) will be more efficient and hence less ****e to crashing and more dynamic

The draw distance will be quadrupled

Forests will create individual trees instead of blocks which look the same

Hills cast shadows

Longer grass

Denser foliage

[Already known] Original Operation Flashpoint campaigns will be included, but updated, and new missions will be made to harness new features in engine

The storyline will follow a US Peacekeeping Soldier in a North/South-Korea-type conflict

Story told from new perspective - non-linear

Bohemia Interactive are pushing the engine as far as it will go to create complex and dynamic towns and cities

[wulfstan]

I used to work for Codemasters, the publishers of Op Flashpoint, and when i was in the canteen for the first time, i saw this geeky looking dude who looked familiar. After a while i realised it was his face that was used a lot for the rendering of the soldiers, ugly with big glasses. Total nerd.

[Hellfish]

At least the BMPs look the right size now.

[Laworkerbee]

I wonder if I'll be able to get a good look during the E3 show in Los Angeles next month.

I hope the game runs better in CQB type battles, that was my only ( and very minor ) complaint about OFP.

That and my sounds craps out using the ECP addon :bash:

[adamicz]

New ArmA movie :D

http://www*megaupload*com/?d=BEWPHSDV

type dots instead of "*"

[Ballistic]

Looks like they still haven't got those walk/run/stand animations fixed yet from those screenshots. They look like they are using the OFP anims still. They are horrible. They need to take a look at the anims in BF2, now they are good !!

Looks fantastic graphically though, looking forward to playing it.

[signatory]

Hm, I'm shopping comp. With AA in mind, what should I put most money on
(generally speaking) more memory, more graphics power, or more CPU ?

with lots of objects I suppose memory (?) but should it be on the gfx card or main board... ?

Don't worry. If Placebo said it (BIS Community manager) then it must be true :-) It was also confirmed in Press Release from December :-)

And content of this new movie is pretty old so today may the game look much better.

I think most important thing for old OFP is memory so for ArmA it should be too.

HAWT!

[GrinchWSLG]

Graphically its an outstanding improvement. But then, my biggest complaints about OFP aren't graphics...

[Hellfish]

What are they? I don't mean to sound hostile - I've got my own complaints that I hope are addressed too. p-)

[Laworkerbee]

Graphically its an outstanding improvement. But then, my biggest complaints about OFP aren't graphics...

Let me guess CQB?

[GrinchWSLG]

Mostly game engine limitations on the number of gunners and weapon types on vehicle classes. IE, no tank commander's weapon when you're turned out, no larger guns on wheeled vehicles, one gunner per helicopter. The cqb is annoying too, but thats mostly because the soldier moves so wierd, dunno what it is. I love the realism as far as moving and shooting, its just that when you move around it doesn't feel natural at all.

[Ratamacue]

That looks damn impressive. Any update on possible release? Still second half of this year?

[Hellfish]

They aren't Russians.

They're fictional. From democratic South of Sahrani island, I think.

[Ratamacue]

Sweet pics man! Thanks for posting them! How many islands are there? Different environments? Because I saw pics of woodland and desert camos.From what I remember, the entire campaign from the original OFP will be included with Armed Assault, so you should have Everon, Malden, and Kolgujev. Not sure if the Resistance campaign will be included though, in which case you'd also get Nogova. There'll also be a new, modern-day campaign taking place on an island divided into North/South, similar to Korea.

[Kilgor]

What are they? I don't mean to sound hostile - I've got my own complaints that I hope are addressed too. p-)

I love OPF, so not being a prick.. but...

1. Clipping issues, especially in buildings
2. Inside buildings could be more complicated
3. Destroyed buildings and tanks folding like cardboard boxes :bash:
4. Borked bullet ballistics ie 500m headshot with a mp5sd *
5. Slip and slide tanks
6. Gun / cannon issues as mentioned before. Ie cannot program guns / ammo to a high degree of spec like other games.

the main ones that come to mind.


I would say the ability to program guns and ammo is one of the biggest.

I read in a magazine that clipping and such has been resolved, and with the new physics the buildings can be shot to pieces, dunno how tanks will be destroyed but one would hope that the dont crumble.

What do tou mean with #6?

Some of the islands in OFP are based on real ones. I won't be surprised if Sahrani is real too.

I guess after they released Armed Assault trailer they realized people needed better graphics so then they started PR campaign with new improved pics.

Who knows but my guess is that release will happen in Summer, June.

BIS never released trailer. Actually these videos aren't official and they aren't trailers. One of the video was released by czech PC games magazine and one by some russian magazine. The first one is from November (or older) by the way, thats why it has worse graphic.

[VISTREL]

yeah, my bad..those were gameplay video...and the one from russian magazine is pretty fresh one although BIS deny that...it's after that video was released we got so many new screens with improved graphics coming in.

[VISTREL]

I really hope they would improve plane handling in Arma. Thats why I loved BF2 - planes there are sweet to ride.

[Hellfish]

Kinda hard to notice bad plane handling when you've only got about 500m of airspace to fly in. :roll:

[Ratamacue]

I was lucky enough to try out an early build of Armed Assault. These screenshots looks tons better than what I saw (probably because of the crappy PC we were using), and the animations are looking great aswell. Glad to see they were all redone !!

Expect the same type of OFP gameplay with much better graphics. We didn't get to try out any armour or aircraft, so I can't comment on those, but the infantry gameplay is as good as ever !!

Nice report.
One question, if I may: did you find difference in, for example, cqb fighting? I mean, the way the rifle is handled first person, going up or down while walking, ease (and timing) of target acquisition, ....

[Count Lippe]

It's not like there's a wall you'll crash against when flying in OFP... There are no limits. If the island is 400m² it doesn't mean there's no water around it...p-)

[adamicz]

Yeah, one of the best thing on ArmA. Now are sections of terrain loaded on the fly (like in flight simulators for example). So Islands can now be as large as modders care to make them. Damn great feature :D

Where can I find list of vehicles supported in the game?

No list haven't yet been released. But there will be more than 50 vehicles. Like M1A1, Vulcan. Hummer, Stryker, UH-60, AH-6, AH-1Z, T-72, UAZ, Shilka and others. Very similar like in OFP.

Sure, some Call of duty (insert # here) is bound to look better genius. Flashpoint is the one and only for those that want it as close as possible to simulating warfare.....but since gfx is your thing i suggest "Crysis" (sp).

[Huhtis]

Does someone know what units those are, I mean are they the Opfor Northern Sahranis or those Southern Sahranians that are US ally?

Goddamn it looks good game compared to OFP and I would take this anytime over any newest games.

Too bad I already uninstalled OFP a bit too early when waiting this game.

[Crankep]

OFP never needed better graphics, with addons etc I actually think it looks good. Might be blind love though. But as I said, it never needed to have great graphics. It had great gameplay and "feeling". Never have I played a game so much as I have played OFP.

[Superking]

Dynamic Afghanistan (DELTA) has revived my love for OFP and i have spent many nights scouting for the rebel leader for that oneshot resolution, and if i cant get a shot....there is allways the lure and bombard.

All other games that have claimed to have open gameplay has failed next to Flashpoint imo, it has no equal anywhere.

Because it's a game :D
Nothing a couple of addons won't fix. I'd be happy if BIS would focus more on the physics for example than the helmets.

[Hellfish]

A lot of the Army still uses PASGT helmets. At least these screens show the new chin strap and suspension gear on the helmet.

[Digital Marine]

They seem to have made a mix between US Marines and US Army, they are wearing something that appears to be ACU but they're wearing USMC LWH helmets.

Looks cool nonetheless, better than the standard guys that are in the normal OFP.

Cant seem to view their homepage, but is there a set release date for AA yet?

Oh and Marine Corps Pilots do support Army troops as well. It's not like cobra pilots say "nope thats army, call off the support"...so regardless if you can play Marines or not, wherever the army goes, you can bet Marines go to.

What I've read OF 2 is a different product. AA is not replacing Flashpoint, but I could be wrong :roll:

[Ratamacue]

So is this game replacing flashpoint 2? And does anybody have a scheduled release date?It's not replacing OFP2. Because Bohemia Interactive Studio (the developer) parted ways with Codemasters (the publisher of OFP), they no longer hold the rights to the title "Operation Flashpoint." Armed Assault is basically an updated version of OFP with a new campaign. BIS is also developing "Game2," which will basically be the true sequel to OFP. However, this is not to be confused with the actual Operation Flashpoint 2, which Codemasters is developing in-house without affiliation with BIS.

It should be replaced with this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Avenger_missile.jpg), But 100% accuracy has never been the goals of OPF. The mods are what eliminates all "gameplay" induced balancing that all games are plagued by.

My (top of my head) wishlist too Santa would be:
Adjustable scopes (please).
UH-1Y + Marine fireteam (support from a nearby carrier).
Working bodyarmour and flackjackets (On/Off for MP).
Militia type units for the East and west (ragtag paramilitary nutjobs).
Civilians that arm themselves and join the fray (uncertainty factor).
Realistic airsupport and artillery (a must).
And for the first time ever, the sonic crack of a bullet portrayed realisticly (i hate the swooshy 7,62mm bees that inhabit Everon).

But most of the above will come as mods sooner of later so i´m set anyway :)

That's why JAMHD magazines were so good mate, give them to the OPFOR blokes, keep the good mags for yourself and then wipe em out, while taking heaps of rounds in your, ah.. generalish direction.
Too bad with my VBS1 using the converted JAM3 with HD mags makes the game crash at random places, sigh. Just going to have to live with it :)

I wonder how the "foliage fade" will be handled...

Nothing more frusterating than being hidden in some grass or bushes but the guy 200m away can see you plain as day. :)

That is an incredibly hard thing to get rid of. I have been trying to find an algorithm to provide that functionality while preserving performance goals for a very long time.

That is an incredibly hard thing to get rid of. I have been trying to find an algorithm to provide that functionality while preserving performance goals for a very long time.The only game I've seen to do a decent job is Red Orchestra. In it, foliage can't be disabled, and is viewable at all distances. Really changes the dynamics of the game. However, even though the maps are pretty large in RO, they're not nearly at the same scale as OFP or ArmA.

No. There tons of SP missions (no campaigns though). You have to become member with several sites to get the nice SP missions.

[Ravage]

any in particular ?

Anyway, I also got VBS, it really is way better than OFP, although with some minor faults.. But VBS is how OFP should have been from the start. The AI actually engages you from quite a distance and hits you.

Yeach but still too little missions in sp :-( could someone put some missions here.

You can get it in Poland but its over 2000 zł and thats just not an option for me :-(

[Superking]

Make your own missions, there are plenty of resources on "how to" on several OPF sites.

[Ravage]

I'm lazy p-)

[Solo]

I am against software piracy. I once was in the SW business and I know how that can affect costs.
Certain games (the good ones) *have* to be purchased.

You're lucky you were able to even get it.
We are not allowed to share missions with folks outside of the legit communuty.

Back on topic,
Sniper Skull that radio show was interesting p-)

[TacoDelRio]

I would need five of my computer to play that game. Looks amazing! The infantry pictures look the best. Some of the other ones look so real they kinda look like models. Something looks funny.

I hope multiplayer is good :hug:

It was pretty garbage in OFP iirc

I hope the MH-6 is beter woot

The helicopter flight model has apparently gone from fantasy to semi-realistic in ArmA.

[Marvin!!]

The helicopter flight model in OFP is supposed to be excellent, in fact a friend of mine who happens to be a chopper pilot recons it's more realistic than MS Flight Sim's model. I agree that it's very good.

Yeah, its ok... but you cant really crash the chopper...


The thing they must fix is that they have to add flares... and make damage a little more realistic..

[Marvin!!]

I have to disagree. Trust me on this one lol, choppers in OFP do crash ;) From hitting power-lines to engine failures, forces are out there to bring you down :p

Granted, it's taken add-ons and mods to achieve a higher level of realism, when it comes to damage, failures and the likes. For instance, there's a mod called the FFUR 2006 (Flash FX Unit Replacement Mod) which totally modernises the game, replaces all the default units, vehicles and weapons with current generation equivalents and adds many new features and effects, one of them being automatic flares on all aircraft ;) :D

Sorry for the off topic,
If you downloaded your version of VBS you're running a pirated copy. Same as the other guy a few posts about your post. You wont be able to access "ANY" VBS resources. And it is rather a bit stupid posting that you dwonloaded it.

Welcome to the forums Andy. Glad to have you here.

Cheers Solo,
been around for a while but wasn't posting at all.

As for ArmA,
a lot of the stuff shown on the GC in Leipzig sure looks very nice. Looking forward to a demo and I wonder if the puplisher will be able to release this end of November like they said...:roll:

[Ravage]

"The oficers will only have a sidearm" thats so bull, hope they will change that.
And that soviet sniper, he just stood like a simple grunt :bash:
Hope that the 4x ACOG will be available not only with the M203.

and the good news ?

[Marvin!!]

You can equip him with a banana launching RPG launcher if you want. Loadouts are totally customisable

[Ravage]

in the campaign ?

[kaspur_eh]

that video was sick... the planes dropping teh bombs on the infantry :hug:

too bad no english

[Marvin!!]

in the campaign ?

So you start the mission with just a pistol? Just pick whatever weapon you want from a weapons crate or off the battlefield

[SniperAndy]

After watching that movie something caught my eye...
The guy doing the demonstration clearly said "No destructable buildings".
Ok, they wont fold up like card houses any more, but non at all? hmmmm...

What I liked a lot was watching the AI doing the "leap-frogging" in the demo. Seems like BIS improved AI quite a bit but what could be seen in this video.

4. Will all buildings be destroyable?
- Yes, in the final version of the game there will be debris and rubble.

Source: ofp.info

[SniperAndy]

I know, I read that as well. But in the video it's different.
And I don't think it will be fully available unless ArmA gets the total virtuality engine 2 update before release and not just parts of it.

[Marvin!!]

I don't think they would tell lies in an ofp.info interview. It's the 2nd most visited OFP site after the BIS forums.

[adamicz]

There will be destroyable buildings but not all... only communication instalations, gas stations and bridges.

This answer is only about "if buildigs will be destroyable" not if all, even it's mentioned in the question. They just gave them no answer if "all buildings"...

New ambush vid :D

Remember the game is still WIP and the fps number is smaller also because of Fraps video capture tool.

Didn't say the lie... just said the puplisher said something else at the GC.
I just sit and wait till it is released and then we see what they managed to implement till the release...

convoy escort MP games would be so much fun

[Marvin!!]

"Schnell" rofl

[Count Lippe]

Most of it looks like modded OFP, they better come up with some real changes... None of the announced improvements work in the demo, maybe the AI is better, but not that much...

[Marvin!!]

Are you referring to that ambush video? If so then I agree, I wasn't that impressed. The graphics have been revamped, yeah, but the sounds are practically the same 4 year old OFP sounds, and I noticed they haven't resolved the 100gram vehicles getting blown 50m away by a LAW :-(

[Count Lippe]

Actually I was talking about the GC preview vid.

[Marvin!!]

ftp://www.ofpr.info/ofpd/videos/GC_ArmA_Demo_ambush.rar

That's the video I'm talking about


The OFPMDB Team (http://www.ofpmdb.net/include.php?path=start.php) has released another ArmA ingame Video.
This time several ambushes are shown. Plz remember, that you need DIVX to play the video, and keep in mind that the video is still WIP.

[Bush1]

ftp://www.ofpr.info/ofpd/videos/GC_ArmA_Demo_ambush.rar

That's the video I'm talking about

That video was recorded with all settings normal, no HDR and no Shadows.
So he could record it with fraps


/edit:
I forgot my PC specs:
Intel P4 3 GHz HT FSB800MHz, 2GB RAM, GF 6800XT AGP
all settings "normal", HDR and Shadows diabled for Fraps
ArmA runs at 20-25 fps.

The graphics aren't what I wasn't impressed with. It was the sound

[Ballistic]

I agree, the sound isn't all that fantastic. Hopefully it will be signifcantly updated before it's released. If not, I recall it wasn't that hard to mod the sound files, so I'm sure some good sound packs will be released, just as there was for OFP.
