Arma 2 is much prettier. This is what you can realistically expect to see while playing OFP: DR...

That's with everything set to max, 8xAA 8xAF. BF2 looks nicer imo!

hahahahaha

is that man on springs ?

lol, at one point there were 4-5 of them 20 feet in the air walking around!?! Crashed about 2 seconds after taking that screenshot to.

Really cba to give it another go, it'll sit on the shelf until at few patches have been released but I don't see them improving it much. This has to be one of the most disappointing games I've played in years, probably because CM hyped the milsim aspect so much.

im off to find one of those 100+ games on arma2....

i keep crashing helicopters on arma lol i keep staring at the rotas spinning (you can see the individual dampers and bolts for each blade....beautiful)

I presume then this will be another PC game pirated to absolute high heaven, shortly followed by Codemasters damning the platform for games due to lower than expected sales, and at no point mentioning it may have done better if they'd just designed it for the PC from the ground up in the first place?

Took BIS ages to get Arma1/Arma2 playable with loads of patches. I'm sure CM will do the same.

in all honesty I think we are just going to see more and more crappy console ports

its ok with site like ocuk and enthusiasts etc butwith a recession on a) people arent going to go for gaming pc's (your average family etc) b) developers are going for the largest overall market which unfortunately is consoles

it sucks cos I hate anything played on a pad except fifa 10 and even thats pants on pc (luckily I got it for the 360 lol)

Waits for BF3....

Probably, closely followed by an announcement to tune of "we are dropping out the PC market due to piracy". Not that we would miss them if this is a glimpse into the future product, the consoles are welcome to them imho.

beginning to sound like a codemasters hate thread :cool:

RavenXXX2 · 8 Oct 2009 at 12:35

Well if the online element was fantastic then you would have to buy the game to play online, so pirating would not come in to it, if online sux then peps will pirate just to try it.

I dont think I'll play this, got dispatched today so may just send it straight back :-P

not in its current state you dont have to, the game has no serial key, anyone can play on line no matter if you bought it or Dl'd it.

Electroshadow · 8 Oct 2009 at 12:41

which means epic hacking and griefing as there's no fear of being banned.

Devlish · 8 Oct 2009 at 12:42

Hmm played, this is so clearly a poor console port. Radial menus with no return key so you cant go back a step and have to start again - not fun when youre learning the layout. Dumb enemy AI who cant hit squat. The only time ive died so far (on the setting below Hardcore) is when I walked in front of a team member. At least it was vaguely realistic.

Graphics are OK, I thought ARMA2 were more immersive but PFP2 are more polished - another console thing im sure. Are there ballistics in game? I was shooting across a valley and didnt notice any drop.

Might get it for my PS3 when price drops way way down.

Man, online must suck then, looks like another game designed for consoles and the pc gamer getting the shoddy port, to think the first one was a classic on the PC, the shame.

Clum · 8 Oct 2009 at 13:37

Just installed and i might cry. I cant believe theyve screwed it up!!! At least visually anyway. Perhaps the gameplay will save it but from the little ive played so far i dont think it will.

Get it up you codemasters!
