[News Portal]

[comp=231]Bohemia Interactive[/comp] have released a [file=24824]new trailer[/file] for their upcoming military simulator, [app=4366]Armed Assault 2[/app]. The [file=24824]new trailer[/file] focuses on the great-hulking husks of steel that is the Russian war machine, with helicopters, tanks, anti-air and jet-planes each represented from their in-game models.

While the infantry-models look to need a little bit more work, the vehicles look nothing short of amazing, and the [file=24824]new trailer[/file] shows them off in all their finely-rendered glory.

Cant wait for this game

Hope it never does come to consoles.... u cant make a console game anywhere as advanced as PC... and more often the PC version is just a bad port with simple arcade gameplay.... HAWX?

[SkenZ]

This looks to me just like a more graphically advanced version of Arma (1). Even the sounds are the same. I'll be looking to OFP2 for hopefully some fixes that OFP, Arma 1, and by the look of it Arma 2, in gameplay that always held the games back.

...highly complex weapon systems including bullet drop, wind, penetration and more, the game will strive for realism.

I'd like to know if that realism includes "crack-thump". I've not seen (heard) it done in a game so far.

yes. so named because, well that's what it sounds like.

[Ball0fire]

well its somewhat in arma1, even moreso with sound mods, soo it should be pretty well just right in arma2

its actually quite rare to hear it when you are really being engaged, especially in open country.

In afghanistan we were never able to pick up the incoming fire from that. You get the crack, for sure... however the the thump only happens if you have something behind you for it to be picked up on. ie at the range you have the mound, in an urban type environment you have a wall next to you. Though rarely if you are being engaged in an urban environment is it just one round with no other noises to reduce the effect.

not trying to sound like a sme, however just thought you might like to know.

i am disappointed about the sounds. the same effect from arma 1 and i wasn't too impressed with them.

[Bronze_D]

indeed... they somewhat feel a bit low on "punch"

but hey at least if the only problem is the sound then a mod can somewhat fix that easily, on the other hand gameplay revision mod is a tad harder to do.
