I loved the original OFP. Band of Comrades : Episode 6 anyone? :D

One thing that bugged me was the poor visibility when airborne. There was a thick, view-distance-related fog which made some ground attacks difficult. What is the visibility like in ARMA 2?


I haven't gamed since 2005, but this is really tempting. :p

View Distance is basically infinite, this is ARMA 1 not even maxed out. It was 10km in ARMA 1, not sure if its been increased in ARMA 2.

Viewdistance:
IF playing multiplayer it is controlled by the mission ( as in can be set to what mission maker requires - my mate allie always stick in a script that allows players to control viewdistance from 900 , 1200 , 2000 , 3000 , 5000 meters)

Single player uses the settings you put in the graphics menu
 
Looks increasingly like the demo wont be today. To be honest if it gets much closer to release day I'll probably just buy it instead of bothering with a demo first
 
Looking at the post about the demo it says should be out next week monday or tuesday, and that was posted on the 13th. So in theory we should have a demo in the next couple of days then. Or did i read it wrong, hope not because even though i'll still probably buy it but i would like to try the demo first.
 
Pre-ordered it along with a 20 quid voucher I'd been holding onto for a while.
Should be good but hopefully the community wade in with the usual improvements.

Disappointed to read this regarding Freetrack though. I thought my wonderful cardboard, insulating tape and hook & loop (velcro) design would have done me proud. I can afford TrackIR but doubt I'd really make the most of it. Freetrack was my test bench and as well as it works I don't think my eyes are compatible! Factor in head-bob (adjustable I know) in Arma 2 and I could be sick in no time. :o:p
 
**spoiler** Need mission help.


has anyone completed the Manhattan part of the campaign yet? I'm stuck on the part where you have to attack the main base. I'm currently standing just outside of the base, with people telling me they are ready to go. But no option to select any help.
 
Theres a lot of bugs in the game. I had to restart manhatten a few times as once one of the quest npc characters blew him self up standing next to an repeatedly exploding car lol

Hopefully there will be another patch out by the time you get your uk versions.
 
I've reloaded it plenty of times. Still seem to be stuck in the woodlands, looking at some guy that seems important. But no support, and my team and I get shot to hell every time :(
