Yusuf M. Veteran Posted May 19, 2011 Veteran Share Posted May 19, 2011 Visually, it's quite stunning. The inclusion of PhysX is great for NVIDIA users but not-so-great for ATI/AMD users. I hope the difference in physics quality isn't too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoadorable Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Dwarden, you guys manage to figure out the broken missions with people not being there, objectives not showing up etc? if you can promise this one won't have those issues i'll get it. i really wanted to like Arma II but honestly that game was a mess, sorry to say.

Miuku. Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Arma 3, now even with worse code than Arma 2! (If this is in any way possible) Seriously, why do people get such a hard on for Arma 2 when it was most likely one of the buggiest, crappiest, worst coded trash that came out for the PC in the last few years?

neoadorable Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 hey, let's try to keep it polite here. i know how you feel, i also had issues with the coding and scripting, but it wasn't that bad and we do have one of the developers with us here.

Huleboeren Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Arma 3, now even with worse code than Arma 2! (If this is in any way possible) Seriously, why do people get such a hard on for Arma 2 when it was most likely one of the buggiest, crappiest, worst coded trash that came out for the PC in the last few years? That may be the case - but no other game offers the same experience once you fully grasp the advanced nature of ARMA. I agree, they really should focus more power on bugtesting and overall user experience. I wonder if its the same engine or updated though, I REALLY WANT TO GET RID OF THE FIRE BUG AMONG SO MANY OTHER ERRORS. Dwarden as I have mentioned before please take a look at HalfLife2/Counterstrike as to how a menu and interface should be built and get rid of your own. And last but not least take a look at ACE2 for inspiration for more advanced features, its not like you care about the steep learning curve as it is now. I will buy this game regardless of how little you listen to the community though ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoadorable Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Huleboeren lives!!! And i agree with what you say, i want to get this one, too, but Mr. Dwarden there isn't doing the game any justice by being so quiet :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huleboeren Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Indeed I do - always been around but havent gotten around to posting that much lately. Cant wait to see moving footage of A3! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boz Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I can't say I'm not excited about ARMA 3. I loved ARMA 2 but the bugs and issues got me turned off.. but I still loved it. ARMA 3 looks like a stunner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doli Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I never played a modern era Call of Duty or any ARMA games but when I look at ARMA I wonder why people make a big deal over CoD games. Maybe they should try to make a console version after the PC (no console ports). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huleboeren Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I never played a modern era Call of Duty or any ARMA games but when I look at ARMA I wonder why people make a big deal over CoD games. Maybe they should try to make a console version after the PC (no console ports). I like both of them, but ARMA has a steep learning curve and its a much slower paced game which can put a lot of people off I think. I also dont think a console version is possible, the map is too big and the features too advanced - there are limits to how much you can fit to a joypad. Try comparing Battlefield2(PC) and then Battlefield: Bad Company - it really shows that the latter was made with consoles in mind. Im not saying they are bad, I love them both but a console truly does have its limits. Obviously there are areas where consoles outperform PCs (I am looking at you XBL LIVE)..

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted May 30, 2012 Veteran Share Posted May 30, 2012 I just want to say since Dwarden is from Bohemia Interactive, not sure if you had anything to do with Joint Ops, but to this day I think it is one of the most criminally overlooked PC MP games to ever exist. It was the first game that brought large scale battles. Had some truly epic moments on it. I still really want to pick up Arma II actually, for you guessed it, DayZ. Also if there is anyway to be included on the press list/beta list for Arma III, by all means let me know how. Would love to hype it up on our podcast.
