john117 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Armed Assualt 2 Platform: PC and Next Gen Console (TBD) Expected release date: 2009 Topical though the campaign is, the most impressive aspect of the game right now is the visual impact of the units and the terrain over which they fight. The vehicles, nearly 150 of them, running the technological spectrum from a bicycle to modern strike aircraft, are spectacularly detailed both inside and out. A more significant evolution however is that the all the characters actually look more like a star cast rather than a pool of expendable extras that in the past were digitised and duplicated members of the design team. No less impressive is the huge map that must be secured. Chenarus may be smaller than the island of Sahrani in the first game, but it's a much more diverse area. Where Sahrani was relatively dry, flat and depressingly rural, Chenarus is almost a condensed version of the Czech Republic itself, with all the topography you'd expect (some of it directly modeled from famous landmarks around Prague), plus sprawling urban and industrial settlements linked by 326km of roads (serviced by almost 2000 road signs should you get lost). Sound is one area that the team has been spending a lot of time working on, and it's designed to be the most realistic audio experience in a game of this type. When you consider that you'll be fighting at ranges measured in hundreds of metres, where you'll be seeing muzzle flashes from the enemy before hearing the bullet ping past your ear, you'll have some idea what to expect. This level of environmental sound positioning is totally new, to the point that when Bohemia went shopping for a sound solution they quickly found there was none. Sound design went even further: if you know your war films you might recall in Battle of the Bulge how the American GIs heard the distant sound of squeaking tank treads before the deep growl of Tiger engines. In ArmaA II Bohemia claim to have created more than 40 independent sounds per vehicle, from different parts of each engine to the sound of each wheel on a variety of surfaces, with each sound spatialised. Impressive, even if such detail might be lost in the heat of battle. from http://pc.ign.com/articles/932/932227p1.html Ingame Video:http://pc.ign.com/dor/objects/958404/arma-...ame_020309.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcgamer Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 It is a military sim not an average fps. It is mainly for PC guys and will require a tank to play and bring many old PC to knees. I tried Arma demo very buggy the whole game is and it ran like crap. Let us wait and see who they make Arma2 on consoles ? Its competitor game should be OFP dragon rising by codemasters. Which is definitely coming to consoles as well as PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
