The real deal.. Armed Assault

looks like an overhauled OFP to me, graphics-wise that is.

Hey I can take MW2 Gfx if its got the game play to back it up

/* Pictured is a 100-Ton Dire Wolf aka Daishi (Great Death), one of the most powerful Clan OmniMech's ever used */

Good graphics helps but core game play and good design matters more 4 years later.

Besides, how many of us can run these newer games on top settings?

I can!

Feel the power of Nvidia 7900gtx

I've got a GF6200 so I can run most current games full blast and I'll be able to handle most games fine till the Geforce 6800 class goes to the minimal spec. That will probably be ether in 3 to 6 years.

I'd like a Geforce7600 but I'm flat broke as they come and likely to stay that way.

I have the good ol' GeForce 7800 you should see how good Oblivion is, such a beauty she is.

Good ole MW2! MW2:Mercs was'nt too bad either. If I could find a copy of that on a cheap rack somewhere, I'd but it. You ever play the Battletech "board game" Spidey?

But I agree with your point Spidey, I can totally live with less than the greatest graphics, so long as it's a good game.

Also, whaddaya mean 4 years later?! MW2 is like 1995 vintage! 11 years more like it!

4 years ago is more like MW4, the game I and my friends played and got blacklisted in the leagues with

I've never played the board game but I do occasionally dabble with Megamek, an implementation of it for the computer in Java. I even prepaired the PBI of it on http://www.pbidir.com but I'm not very good at it do to lack of play time.

*whistles returns his mind to topic - sorry Recon !*

I loved MW3 the most. MW4 was okay and MW2 is too crude for me, sorry.

I played the boardgame of batteltech, it was so cool with the littel metal fig. and then senaries...but it is like 8 years ago

Just a quick question, how many of you all are actually getting ArmA? I am sure it has been brought up before and I just forgot.

I'm hoping to put $50 away by January 1st 2007 with the intent to get it. If it does not meet with an auto-flop I'll probably buy it once I got the cash and a way to get to the store.

This was on the FAQ on one of the sites:

Multiple gunner positions in Vehicles?
It is confirmed that we will have an unlimmited number of turrets on vehicles. So B-52, here we come!

Unlimited?

What new impovements of the engine can be mentioned?
New streaming terrain, meaning that you can have endless size of island without slowing down your computer. It also means that the objectcount and viewdistance on your screen can go up.
There will also be new dynamic weather system, that effect bushes/trees, viewdistance, bullet path and 3D waves in water.

Sound good

Will there be any wildlife?
So far we will see birds and insects in the game, we haven't gotten confirmation of any livestock. The wildlife is in for better immersion of the gameworld. Another aspect is moving grass/bushes and trees which also makes it harder to pinpoint enemies when they move. (It might just be an animal/bush).

After reading some of these FAQ's I would think the gameplay will be awesome. Half the things it is saying I have never seen in any other game.

PS, I will probably get it

I'm getting it, no questions asked

I think I want a 3rd Gig of RAM and a Geforce 78000 about now !

Tekken was a good game, it encouraged me to practice a little. Much like Soul Blade encouraged me to learn a few things about sword fighting, not that that style of fighting is used much any more.

Alrighty, sounds like a few are getting it, now I will begin my search for the mods that which we can encorporate. Oh and it's old new but for those who enjoy the old skool OFP, like me...

...and also for those who like Resistance too, they mention a follow up project for Resistance Rearmed!

Well I now have enough money stored away for it (hopefully). Since the things bound to be released every where but the US first. I'm gong to be relying on yalls opinions.

If the game sucks or we are not adopting it - I'm buying me a copy of K&R instead

Have to reserve your turn

Hope so, it will be so packed the first couple of days
