May 1, 200719 yr Woo! It's finally that time, everyone! Tomorrow, May 1st, 2007 -- Armed Assault comes to the United States! Lemme just say, for those that played the Euro demo, the game (1.05 now) has changed considerably. The GUI (server browser in particular) looks SOOOOO much nicer and aiming has changed as well. Free-aim is now supported in ironsights. In other words, you can walk with ironsights up, but at the bottom of your screen, then move the ironsights to where you need them if you would be to engage. And, if you can play this game on "Very High" -- Do it. It looks fantastic. Anyone else plan on buying it? I certainly will be. =O
May 1, 200719 yr I was a huge fan of operation flashpoint back in the day, and i've heard mixed things about this sequel. I'm looking forward to trying it out.
May 1, 200719 yr Author [...]I've heard mixed things about this sequel. Well, let's make sure it's clear that this is not OFP's sequel. OFP2 is due out in 2k8.
May 1, 200718 yr Well, let's make sure it's clear that this is not OFP's sequel. OFP2 is due out in 2k8. Oh seriously? I thought it was, thats great news then.
May 2, 200718 yr Author I thought it was, thats great news then. There is still some speculation, but from everything I'm hearing, Armed Assault is NOT the sequel to OFP. Lemme tell you right now that Armed Assault -- based on the OFP2 screenies I've seen -- is a much higher quality game. Much. If the quality of OFP2 stays as it is, ArmA is definitely going to win this battle. Already, there are loads of mods out for ArmA, so I can definitely foresee it keeping a steady, devoted following and I predict that OFP2 will flop unless it implements some really revolutionary things. Anyway, check out the demo for ArmA before you purchase here.
