Armoured Assualt Demo

[Ludicrouse]

Its coming soon to Fileplanet at least, will update when a concrete date becomes available.

[James24]

that ought to be an awesome game.

[Volw]

I hope they won't use the shitty FP browser again :/ It ruined the multiplayer part of the game tbh.

[James24]

reserved it at fileplanet- it is coming on thurs. Would have to be the day I am at work!

[DarthS]

0o

How long untill its up for normal download? Friday?

[Volw]

reserved :D

BTW. Is it multiplayer or ?

[Vasquez]

isn't it ARMED Assault, not Armoured Assault?

[Ludicrouse]

isn't it ARMED Assault, not Armoured Assault?

Cant remember... prolly Armed, but then again thats what you get when you keep changing the fucking name...

[Hovis]

The games been out for months already. In Czech. :)

[DarthS]

You speak Czech? o0

[KillerB]

Tbh, didnt really see the point in changing the name from Operation Flashpoint 2 to something else. i agree with Ludi!

[Maurgrim]

Operation Flashpoint 2 is a different game (other developers) while Armed Assault is being developed by the guys that made Operation Flashpoint if I got it right.

[DarthS]

Yeah, Bohemian studios is it? They split from the publisher (Codemasters) who got to keep the brand name for some reason.

So the real sequel is Armed Assault, while Flashpoint 2 is being made by someone else now.

[Nyana]

Operation Flashpoint 2 is owned by Codemasters,
Armed Assault is OP:FP 1.5,
Game 2 = Bohemia's secret new game in development (also large scale warfare).

[Volw]

OFP 1.5 was the one developed for US Army, it was called VBS1 ... AA is more like OFP 1.75 ;)

[Ludicrouse]

In other news....

505 Games and Bohemia Interactive have announced that they will be releasing exclusive content with the European edition of Armed Assault when the military shooter is release in PAL territories on February 16. Here's the statement they made:

Lucky European gamers will experience a wealth of exciting exclusive features when ArmA: Armed Assault blasts into stores, including:

- Two new aircraft: take to the skies in the fearsome Su-34 Fighter and Su-34 Bomber
- Two new motorbikes: powerful 'hogs of war' for both sides of the battle with the TT650 and the M1030 military motorcycles
- Four new weapons: the Russian rifle AKS74PSO; another Russian favourite the KSVK; the giant US-designed M107 and US rifle variant the M16A4

The PAL version of ArmA: Armed Assault will also launch with an exclusive new mission called 'Blood, Sweat and Tears'. This assignment sees players cast as either special operative Cpt. Mike Lambert or Pvt. Rich Angelo in an open-ended scenario that takes place on one very long morning on the bloody battlefields of Sahrani.

I can't wait for the full game. When it appears I'm going to be looking to put together organised play for it because I think, while it lacks a lot of what Planetside has, it is without doubt the ultimate tactical team shooter.

What I want to do is get one or two nights assigned per week for ArmA where we can play through missions we've built and so on. We might want to look at recruiting new players as well and setting up forums here and TS channels and whatnot. If the multiplayer is sorted out this game is going to be brilliant.

Dont set your hopes too high Herr Bread...

[Nyana]

I will put WoW aside for a serious game of ArmA

[Vasquez]

I'll be up for that, Best of Both :)

[Hovis]

Dont set your hopes too high Herr Bread...

It's not hopes dude. I'll drag you bitches kicking and screaming into that game if it kills you. Besides as I say, we'll look to bring ArmA players in just as we have for WoW and Planetside and the other games that stood the test of time.

[Volw]

Dont set your hopes too high Herr Bread...

Some time ago [...] I was in OFC clan, we've been playing once per week and it was fking bomb! The greatest thing was the mission editor, you'r starting playing some random mission and have absolutely no clue what's going to happen, brilliant!

[Ludicrouse]

I used to make and release missions for OFP... the mission editor was great but still, the Legion's history with Non-MMO FPS games is abysmal, to say the least.

[Daymare]

well, me and twinblades from wow did empty some cs servers...? :p

[DarthS]

Id be up for it.

Hope the combat has been improved though, OpFlash despite the realism had rather clunky and awkward gameplay.

[Volw]

BF2 was quite good for the first couple of months ...

[D4rkhouse]

Id be up for it.

Still the same suckarse gameplay, I got the polish version for some time now, still not convinced it has all I liked about of and yet it got verything I hated about it *shrugg couldn't find the enthusiasm to check out multiplayer yet:o

[DarthS]

Demo goes up on fileplanet at 9am Pacific, which is 5pm GMT. Hopefully there will be a torrant up sometime after.

BIS developer Maruk posted today at BIS forums:

[Ludicrouse]

[Ludicrouse]

[Hovis]

Now that's service. Ludi you should get a job at Burger King.

[Hovis]

Have to download it from the US West Coast like a fanny though. :mad:

[Ludicrouse]

Now that's service. Ludi you should get a job at Burger King.

I prefer McDonalds, way better fries... just a shame about the burgers...

[Ludicrouse]

Also, think thats quick? There's already a TS channel for it and im just sitting in there waiting for the d/l to finish :)

[Maurgrim]

w00t? Dunno about BK and McD fries in the UK but here in good old Deutschland BK beats the shizznit out of McD in all aspects but especially in the fries! :mad:

[DarthS]

21 min wait. :(

Be in-game in an hour or two. Is it multiplayer?

[Ludicrouse]

Is it multiplayer?

yes

[KillerB]

Installing the game as i speak, 's gonna be fun i hope ^^

[Ludicrouse]

Aye, installing now

[Ludicrouse]

Laggy, buggy and ugly... thats just the Server Browser... from about 40-50 attempts i managed to get into 1, yes ONE game.

Every other time i kept getting Session Discons and Unable To Connect To Host errors...

[Vasquez]

I've ogt a 28 minute wait time on fileplanet. Any mirrors up yet?

[James24]

downloading now <3 subscription

[Vasquez]

Downloading. Got 20 minutes left. It's actually pretty quick for fileplanet, I've got 500 kb/s.

[KillerB]

got into the first game i tested, 17 players. tbh its not much else then a remake of the original OFP game, but i guess i wasnt expecting anything else. so nothing new means that its pretty much another boring game imo since ive kinda outplayed OFP...

[Maurgrim]

Not impressed. :mad:

[Ludicrouse]

Yes it is utter toss is it not...

[James24]

saying this game is bad is a compliment... don't waste your time downloading it.

[DarthS]

Erk.

Might give the single player demo a try (if it comes out), but otherwise this is getting knocked off my christmas list.

[Vasquez]

Not had a chance to play yet. What is bad about it?

[Ludicrouse]

Its OFP... and by that i dont mean a sequel.. i mean its literally OFP, its not had any improvements, its still ugly... in fact id say its took one huge step back...

[DarthS]

Its OpFlash 1.5.

Which would be fine if this was a mission pack, but its five years on ffs. A new engine on its own isn't worth £30.

[Maurgrim]

It's not even worth downloading the 845mb Demo imo. Bloody Piece of Shit the Bread recommended there :mad:

:D

[leanmeankillingmachine]

thanks for letting me know its utter WoW, wont bother downloading it now.

[Hovis]

Couldn't even get into a game. Talk about disappointing. BLEH. :(

[DarthS]

I blame bread tbh.

Lynch him! :D

[Maurgrim]

I agree!

Let's feed him to feral ferrets in tiny chunks! :mad:

[Neraj]

Man... was looking forward to this too, I don't think I'll be downloading it now! ;)

Oh well! off to play with me Wii :p
