joey45 Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Arma is a sandbox. They've realsed the tools to convert the game. Look at the A.C.E. and E.C.S. mods the T.C.ed* the game into something different and the amount of addons that are avalible. * total conversion The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Shaman Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 I will try the demo and decide. I'm huge Americas' Army game fan. I loved first Operation Flashpoint, but ARMA1 did not convince me to play it again. 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer

element1108 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Looks sweet, is that exclusive to the European release? Or does that date include North America as well? I haven't been able to find a confirmed North American date as of yet.
VMFA117_Poko Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Why there is only OR in thread question? I think I'll buy both - first ArmA2 then Flashpoint2.

element1108 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 If the Americans never won the war of independence than maybe this game would be available to us as well...anybody got a flux capacitor ??? 1.21 gigawatts? (JIGawatts lol) jk I'm Canadian so all this war simulation goes against my upbringing ;) Joey do you know if Euro vs North American versions would be TECHNICALLY different? Would it run on a North American machine?
SUBS17 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 If its like Arma then of course it should work on both but there might be the language problem. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]

theGozr Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Better not or be ready for spanking ;) Fly it like you stole it..
Valiant Shield Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I'll probably buy both, but I know I can count on ArmA being the more realistic of the two. Not sure if this has been posted yet, but TG has a great preview up: http://www.tacticalgamer.com/tactical-gamer-news-items/139458-tactical-gamer-review-armed-assault-2-london-20-05-09-a.html
diveplane Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 thx for that link https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
diveplane Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) some more nice screens wow impressive Edited May 27, 2009 by diveplane https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
diveplane Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 i read that the carrier is a fixed static object in the terrain engine, and has no damage model. still looks great though. https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
JaNk0 Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Yeah, read that too. But you can explore the carrier and land and etc :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TangoRomeo Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Don't know, some people already bought it over here. Seems to be a mixed bag so far - not really the improvement many had hoped for. Since i already have Arma, think i´m going to pass on this one.
