Armed Ass(ault)

Got this yesterday, with options on full and the max draw distance (10k) @ 2560x1600 I get pretty poor performance. With draw distance hacked down to around 5k the lowest drops are to around 30fps but its generally 40-60. This is with an 8800GTX SLI setup. Will post some screenies later on.
 
I have also played this on Duo Core 2 2.16, 2 GB RAM and GF 7900 GTX 512 MB RAM at a res of 1920x1600.

Most settings are on high/medium. It looks pretty good but no where near as good as it looks on all those screen shots. Runs OK but you do get the occaisonal slow down.

There are some bugs with the scripting I think...when the AI has drive somewhere they occasionally get stuck but I think its a good game. Freakin hard though.
 
The drawdistance is not the resource hog anymore that it used to be in OFP, the big hog now are Shading Detail and HDR.

The game will be continously updated, BIS have a history of releasing lots of patches that fix/improve AI and other areas.

Im getting somewhat fustrated with the game.

There are missions that dont end, some stupidly hard ones and the AI ALLWAYS gets one hit kills.

Choppers are so hard to fly now too, its impossible to get FFAR`s lined up with a target the controls are so twitchy and in some cases unpredictable.

I'm in the same boat, the choppers are annoying me the most, I either keep crashing or just not hitting anything with rockets, etc. I was wondering if it was my mouse playing up as the helicopter would randomly start moving in one direction?! They were a lot easier to fly in OFP, maybe too easy though?

It's certainly nice to get a new game, but they could have at least changed the HUD, it's identical which is a little poor tbh. Hopefully another patch or two will sort the main problems out, then the community can start making some nice addons for it! :)
 
I always found choppers and planes impossible to fly using the mouse in OFP, so i setup the stick of joy to work. Made it tens times easier! Maybe its the same in ArmA
 
I got the german version the other week, just need to find the time to get around to giving it a real good test!

Licking what I have seen while playing so far.

Although it does need a high end pc and mine is on min ATM.
