The official update for ARMA 2 version 1.00 or 1.01.
Please note that it is NOT possible to rollback to a previous version after the installation of this patch, only a full reinstall of the game is possible.
It is not recommended to use any savegames created in versions 1.00 or 1.01.
I highly recommend you try the Demo first. I found the game unplayable with mid settings and the motion blur annoying:mad: Or, It might be the fact that I just love the original ARMA
Never believe the specs on the box for any game regardless, you won’t know wether it will play or not until you actualy get it installed on your rig… This plays great on my system, with almost full wack on the graphics side, but you will have to have a pretty current setup I’m afraid… If you want the eye candy!
Osprey, my system`s not that great, but it runs the game pretty well on Medium+ settings. On high it got too stuttery. The latest patch allows you to rdeuce the blur and glow light effect.
The blur is one of those strange things games programmers do that sounds and looks cool, but is actually unrealistic. As you no doubt know, we adjust to the blur when we turn our heads so we don`t even notice it. In game it makes you blind! Very similar to head bob in games which often go over the top.
I don`t play as much as you perhaps did with Arma 1, so all I can give you are my first impressions.
I took on a MOUT training mission. Decided to take the Jeep into the village- The jeep`s like a beacon and was shot dead twice before I could get out. Some of it due to panic. One man ran into the street, I was going to run him over, but then he took cover behind a wall of a small building, knelt and emptied into my jeep-dead.
Next time round I rode up near the village and immedietley jumped out, just as the shots started hitting my jeep. I went prone straight away and crawled to a low wall.
The shots were still coming, but then I realised they were shooting at the jeep (humvee). I stayed still and they kept shooting it for about a minute with the shots dying off.
I stayed very still in my cover by the wall and some bushes and waited.
Way ahead, on a hill, a terrorist ran out and stopped. I fired 3 careful shots at him. On the first couple he dodded about, then fell on the 3rd, he never fired back, he never seemed to see me.
After 5 minutes I crawled on. Someone took shots at me, whom I never saw. I quickly ran and took cover. cossed a road and way down it saw a kneeling terror. Took him out with 2 shots. Crawled away, round a corner, then someone shot me from close range. Never saw him.
