*******Official Armed Assault 2 thread of official officialness*******

Have they improved the voice work in this ? I remember playing the original, and the voices really put me off. It was all over the place :).
Nope unfortunately the radio is still horrendous. This is the one 3rd party mod I hoped for more than anything else with Arma 1.
The radio discussions with officers etc is fine as they're all recorded as one sentance, but the 'dynamic' in game type radio is just as bad as Arma 1.
In typing equivalent I guess it sounds something like this lol....

Two, go TO thaaaaaat Tree
 
Lol , that exactly spot on

In arma these voice commands were a hell of a lot better ( the volume was the same for each word) , this time round sounds like he squeezing out a log while talking
 
I'm not sure I'm allowed to comment as I don't have the game yet but in the Video's I've seen the radio chatter seem to get chopped far to often.
 
This certainly looks like it's gonna be fun, especially online.

I've got an 8800gts 512mb at the moment. Is that going to be enough to get some decent graphics, or is it worth upgrading to a 4870 1gb? Also have e7200 at 3Ghz and 4gb Ram.

Would love to know the answer to that, too... I don't think my 9800GT 512mb card is going to cut it so am looking at a 1GB 4870, as that seems to be around a 50% graphics boost after googling some reviews/comparisons.

Just hope a single 4870 will run it well :)

As I posted earlier:
Core i7 920 @ 4.2Ghz
2x Radeon 4890s in crossfire
6GB DDR3
2x 15k SAS drives in raid0

and Arma 2 performance is still poor!

Unfortunately I don't think anyone will be able to answer whether XYZ card/cpu will run this well until they sort out the performance issues with a patch. Fingers crossed that will be sooner rather than later!

On the subject of performance, for anyone running an ATi card with this game I noticed no FPS gain but a much smoother experience with the Catalyst 9.6 (beta/leak/whatever) here.

Thanks for drawing our attention to that, sorry, hadn't caught up on the whole thread.

If that's the current state of the game, I think I'll cancel my preorder and see if they patch it into acceptable performance!

I didn't mean to sound blunt, was just pointing it out :D

Its in a bad way in terms of bugs etc, but it is still an incredible game, and when it works, it blows everything else out of the water IMO!

With any luck there will be a major update to coincide with the UK/euro release. Also, you can view bugs submitted by the community and submit your own etc over at the official BIS forums (http://forums.bistudio.com/forumdisplay.php?f=83) and on their bugtracker (http://dev-heaven.net/projects/cis/issues) so may be worth a look there to keep up to date with what is going on if you're considering cancelling :)
 
People remember that this is a bohemia game. Systems will not be able to run it at max for years, it was the same with Op flash, the same with Arma 1, I know i still can't max that. Good job normal still looks really good when you're in the thick of it.

Besides. This is turning out to be one of the best games i've ever played... its overtaking op flash very quickly...

I've had so many amazing experiences, completely unscripted, just messing about in the mission editor, or playing the 'combat' random mission type.

I keep getting blown away by this game. Lets face it most games would be on the shelf after a few days. This is not one of them.

Show Bohemia some support and buy this bad boy. Eastern European devs are the generally the only true PC exclusive dev's these days. so support em.

Been playing games for going on twenty years and that is just about the best game footage ive ever seen. Big Opflash and Arma fan and im so ridiculously excited about this game, as with previous efforts im sure it'll take the devs/community a while to get things into shape but christ is this game looking sweet :D.
