Atari is in the ArmA now

I have played the demo into the dirt. Im gonna buy the first copy I see when it comes out in may. If you are in the military, you need to give this game a shot! The graphics arnt amazing, but the gameplay is. Before you attack anything, you had better have all your men in place or you'll get slaughtered. Great game!

Why are we Americans always the last to get stuff?

I'm looking forward to this. Operation Flashpoint was a great game, but it had some flaws. Hopefully this one will be all good.

lets see some vids for this. i hope they innovate because i doubt they can pull of next gen graphics yet

I can't wait, but the name is kind of silly ArmA 'Army' cleaver

Operation Flashpoint was awesome. This one will be even better!! (Hopefully)

This game rocks, but I'm European so I've already got it, gnagnagna!

Seeing as Atari's doing the publishing, we U.S. gamers won't have to worry about StarForce. (read somewhere on the NWN forums they (Atari) prefer/require SecuRom on all titles they publish, course I never had a problem with SecuRom)

Yea i'm not sure about this one. It seems a little suspect. I'm not really into PC games as a whole, it takes a lot to get me excited over one. And this one here not so much.

what RaiKageRyu said

Military themed-FPS are spawning as fast as MMOs these days.

That took a while, GS. The BIS Union posted that weeks ago. I tried to PM this too. :| And why the heck is it called ArmA: Combat Operation on the GameSpot UK? ArmA: Armed Assault was and still is the first name it had, the name the developer named it. Leave it that way will you? Sign, hardcore fan :)

cant wait, will pick up, the mods make this game, i want FFUR for it

The graphics are not anything special, but I wouldn't call them ugly either. Well, their decent if you are actually able to run the retail version of the game with max settings. The demo, from what I've seen, expierienced, and heard, is horribly optimised. It's mostly plantlife like trees and grass, as I understand it, that kills everyone's framerates.

Nice Quo refrence :)

Now THAT was a misleading title. I thought Atari was taken over or something :P

"I hope they do well on it. Atari hasn't been doing great lately." this game has been finished for a while, the European versions came out months ago.

rokkuman, I'd like you to find me a game that has anywhere near the level of content OFP and ArmA have with really great graphics. Sorry, but you have to chose between massive gameworld, or great graphics. And the choice people make with OFP is always the first. If you want the second, go play Oblivion. (Which, in comparison to all of the OFP titles, has a very small gameworld.)

jeez it's about time a US publisher picked up this game. too late for me though, i'm gonna get the European version.

Operation Flashpoint was a great game. It totally reminded me of being in the Army. (In which I served 6 years as an Infantryman.) I'm really hopeful that ArmA is great. I think it will be. Lancer VI

I hope they do well on it. Atari hasn't been doing great lately.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I know, but with today PCs they could definitely make it look better than that, that's just ugly.

the graphics are kinda bad because the map is now something like 250 Square miles large, and the view distances are like 5 miles.

I liked Operation Flashpoint, and I will probably end up buying this too, because I like realistic FPS games. But I do think they should have worked on the graphics a little more, they look just plain ugly on this game..

this game is really the only game of its kind.

Check out my Review for the EU Version later this week!

Wicked game and when its out in US there well be even more people!

god I love ArmA. awsome game.
