Kytec Switchblade Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I'll be getting it, didn't pre order tho, probly after anthrocon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Flintoff Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 thought about getting it, but not sure yet, it is the continuation from the makers of the old operation flashpoint after all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akurei Sieyes Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'm getting it, plus most of the people in the fps group of my game clan folks, which can only mean it's dedicated server time. \o/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygna Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 When I get some money together I'll buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krow Ames Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Well, Flashpoint 2 is looking good, but I'll check this out. I still have to put 40 bucks aside for Left 4 Dead 2. I might end up getting Arma2 if everyone else is too, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Itamae Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 What is ARMA @_@. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellervo Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 The demo ran absolutely horribly on my computer, so I do hope retail is better, efficiency-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Kuhr Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Got it. I love it. Looks freakin wonderful. I dont get people saying it's crap and has all these gamestopping bugs. I havent seen any. It actually runs better than the old ArmA did on my system. So far though I'm just waiting for others to get it and for ACE mod to move to it.

Rei Kuhr Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 If you havent read it yet, read this. It may not be always the most pertinent in a normal game, but it's great for giving you an idea how to better yourself in a tactical environment.Dslyecxi's Tactical Guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akurei Sieyes Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) Always resourceful forum peoples over at BI and Armaholic have been hard at work on optimization guides, here's some of that for people who'd like to squeeze more fps out of ArmA2 :)/>http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=73947/>http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=6713Also once my game group Sturmgrenadier gets our own server up I will see if maybe you guys could join in or of it'll be private. There's a lot of interest in ArmA2 compared to the first one among our guys, so i dunno whats going to happen. We are also waiting on a free server upgrade with double memory and ramz.

Desereck Creeggan Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Sbivohdfbndiorgh I'd buy it but I still cant complete the demo on veteran.Shit is fucking hard @_@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Kuhr Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 The key to surviving in ArmA2 is simple: PAY ATTENTION. 99% of the time someone gets killed, it's because they werent watching their surroundings. Due to the lack of any advanced warning system (apart from radar on some vehicles and aircraft) the only way to spot an enemy is with your Mark One Eyeball. Watch for movement, pay attention to uniforms, and generally keep under cover and/or concealment at all times. If you hear a shot ring out, get low immediately and find cover. Never sacrifice a safe position for awareness. If you dont know where they are, at least you'll be in a spot where you cant get hit. Use your ears to listen for incoming rounds. If they're far enough away you'll be able to tell their general direction by listening to the crack of the round passing by and listening to where it hits nearby. Fight the urge to immediately run, but dont stay stationary. And know that the enemy is smart. They will not just run straight at you. They will flank. So keep an eye out to the sides, and even your rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Itamae Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Either this is the most realistic FPS ever, or you just took that a bit far Rei >_>; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kytec Switchblade Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 most realistic fps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygna Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Arma2 can more be categorized as a simulation rather than a game. The creators aimed to create an almost entirely realistic approach to combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kytec Switchblade Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Yeah, its not fast paced at all, very strategic, everything is made to simulate RL to a T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Kuhr Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 It's designed to be as realistic as possible. In fact, the people who developed ArmA and ArmA 2 develop virtual combat simulators for the US military. It is a game where real life combat tactics not only become useful, they become imperative.

Kytec Switchblade Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 i may buy it tonight. I may also just play killing floor instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Kuhr Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 To be honest those of us who are ArmA veterans are waiting for Ace Mod 2 to come out for ArmA2. It makes the gameplay far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastrenzo Benelli Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Originally the game ran pretty bad on my computer, but I just installed a new graphics card, and it's running like mad on max settings, great FPS, and no GPU Temperature over 85C, I might start playing this online again.

Exterminatus Footman Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I have Arma 2, if anyone wants to play. I used to play it with my friends in the Merczateers. We went on adventures using the campaign maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastrenzo Benelli Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I can rarley get on to a server anymore because I have so many addons that the servers dont' recognize them, and it auto-boots me.I also refuse to play as BLUFOR unless it's CDF, Tired of the 1395393 servers that make you play as USMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johann Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Are you guys going to abandon Arma II when Arma III comes out? I really wanna play with you guys, but I don't want to waste money on a game I'm gonna play for a few months and then have everyone leave. :cJust wonderin'.
