Graphics are looking nice, especially the plane cockpit, I hope the detail carrys over to the rest of the vehicles. One of my concerns was that it would be low qual same as in ArmA 1.

The land seems mostly flat though, that might make engagements very quick, and Im in the mood for some long tactical firefights as Ive been watching Ross Kemp in Afghanistan. We need some ditches to hide in.

As long as the AI is up to scratch and there is a nice easy way to control them it should be good. I think the singleplayer campaign is just you and 3-4 other members of your squad, but on custom missions/stand alone single player missions you can either control a whole squad (16 men I think) or control multiple squads using the new command interface. Something long overdue.

looks good.

Had my eye on this for a while now

Lets just hope its a bit more stable on release, both ofp and arma had to be patched a couple of times before they got to their full potential.

This thread sure seems official, I'll give it that

After the utter shambles of ArmA this I would advise anyone to give this atleast 6 months of patching before even considering purchasing it, you will save yourself a lot of hassle.

Certainly looks good. Lets home the gameplay is just as good!

New screenshots are nice.

Some more pond pics, looks really nice.

this looks really nice, i hope they are using a modified engine of the first one. If its a new one we may see the shambles we had when that was released

Looking at the pond, it is either:

1. No way it is going to look like that.
2. No bloody way it is going to look like that.
3. You will need a GX3456000 MegaThrax to run it.

I thought Armed Assault 1 used a modified OFP engine, and ArmA2 will use a further still modified OFP engine.

Ive always wanted to get into a couple of these kind of games, but every single time theyve been a buggy mess and i just cba with it. Heres hoping they release a good demo.

Sorry for the noobness but i never played the first game and im just wondering if ArmA and ArmA 2 are primarily single or multiplayer games?
