i think flys were in, i definatly remember reading about flys and butterflys. talking i would say no. i loved men getting out of tank on fire. would be great to see that in ArmA.

Well OFP:Elite already had flies, birds and stuff, so surely ArmA will have some too

And with their awesome new fire effect Would look superb!

yeah, it's really funny to see these poor guys. and their cries are so cool too

i normally shoot them in pity . still even if this is not implemented, i hear ECP are still around

It would be awesome for lots of the ECP stuff to be implemented at some stage... I really hope theyre willing to do it

I would suggest that once we actually get the game and walk around we should see some of the ECP features, IE talking bots, getting out of tanks on fire, etc. We'll see

i might ask on the bi forums. those who have the game have been pretty helpful so far.

While your at it, get them to register on this forum!

I just hope it dosen't get slated in English game magazines. Not that it will all round but that Czech one that gave it 55% was a bit of a surprise to me.

lo dudes,

55%? Probably becuase they are basing their reviews on the competition, BF2. I doubt they liked the realism ie: 1 hit kill, or the fact that they cant pick up medipacks . You can always tell a good game mag here in the UK cos it will tell you about the game and where its strenths are. Unlike some which are only interested in graphics and killing ... like BF2.

If anything a bit of a low review wouldntbe too bad for the game. It will keep all the 14 yearold noobs out

rock on folks,
carver

true

55%? I really don't care about this judgement. The best judgement is still my own.

I'll see if it's good or not so good. But I pretend it will be perfect

Do we know yet if, when a tank is hit with a shell/RPG, will it be the same effects in OFP? (ie go black and blow up) or will it be immobalized, turret blow off, etc?

Didn't see anything like this yet. Maybe someone will post a picture of that in BIS forum.
But hopefully the damage model is somewhat better than in OFP.

I heard somewhere that the tracks can get blown off at least.. Not sure if it's true though

Any sources? Please backup such statements.

I'm sorry, I have no idea where I read it.. Thinking about it now though, I doubt it will be implemented... It would mean them having to work on all the individual animations or whatnot for each vehicle on top of other effects such as blackening and burning.. Looks like we'll just have to ask some Czech owner if he could confirm

Well, then it's your job to ask. Send a PM to any of the ArmA owners and we'll see!

That would be extremely cool if that could happen. My favourite feature is the 'grass' not just plan old textured ground, but 3D grass.. w00t..
