June 2, 200817 yr Author Ok... I played the demo... SIMPLY WOW!!!!!!!!!! Why has nobody told me about this game????????? I think this is a BUY!!!!!!!!
June 2, 200817 yr I played the multiplayer demo a long time ago, and was thinking about buying it. I think its a great realistic shooter... I just never ended up shelling out the cash for it.
June 2, 200817 yr I play it very often with a number of friends. As far as the lag goes, they have recently released a number of patches that have drastically improved FPS through optimizations. The demo is officially more obsolete than it was with 1,08. 1,14 changed the aiming system, the FOV, the name of a few guns... I did try to get a few Armory members in on it -- if you use the search function you'll find a thread or two -- but no one seemed to care or found it too realistic/large. ^^

I am not sure if you know any of them from the SRT site. We may get Jiga, Claymorecarl, and lawman to play get it. I am sure when Jasun takes a look he maybe interested. So that would be 4 or 5 of us anyway. I was just a little worried that there wouldnt be enough servers or people playing the game since it is an older game.
June 2, 200817 yr indeed it looks like a gorgeously detailed FPS.. that Mi-24 there in one of the shots looked awsome..

I am sure when Jasun takes a look he maybe interested. So that would be 4 or 5 of us anyway. I'd be willing to bet only 50% of those people actually stick with it. I was just a little worried that there wouldnt be enough servers or people playing the game since it is an older game. There are plenty to play with, but it's always more fun to play with people you know and set up ops. Take a look at ShackTactical if you're curious what you can expect in large ops. indeed it looks like a gorgeously detailed FPS.. I daresay as detailed as they come. that Mi-24 there in one of the shots looked awsome.. It is sex.http://www.armedassault.com/pic_screenshots/arma_screenshot_2006_33.jpg http://home.arcor.de/parvus/ArmA/pics_1/ArmA_325.JPG http://www.armedassault.com/pic_screenshots/arma_screenshot_2006_14.jpg
June 3, 200817 yr I own it but haven't only managed to play it for about an hour and I gave up...Got stuck in cars, was far away from any fire, need biscuit to walk me through it on vent some night :thumbsup:
June 3, 200817 yr Because of the music in the first video it reminded me of the end battle in Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War now i have to go play that again. Thanks alot Statecop:p
June 9, 200817 yr Author update....So i have played this game some... pretty fun! It is VERY realistic..to the point some people may not like it. I played with my friend and he couldnt ever figure out how to lock on to stuff with the hellfires when in the cobra. I was flying and it is pretty damn close to being in a real helo. Granted I have never been in a cobra but from flying a lot in other helos I can say it seems very realistic (for a game). I had a lot of air speed up at a high angle going to try to clear some trees getting way from a MG firing at us and basically hit the ground HARD. It was a move I could do on BF2 with easy but you can do it in these...yet any way I learned this about helos http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Settling_with_power I was giving it more power but it fell out of the sky like a rock after I cleared the trees and hill I was trying to get behind. I lost my lost power and popped the nose up and tried to auto-rotate but I didnt have enough alt.....I hit the ground again...yes HARD. I could tell it seemed to slow down so I am not sure if auto-rotate works in this game yet. I am going to get up there and kill the engine and see if I can auto rotate it down. This didnt work for me...
June 9, 200817 yr You didn't lose enough speed, or your LZ wasn't flat. You actually missed it, the crew and I were just playing it.
