well , Arrowhead is a great improvement comapred to vanilla Arma 2 since the interface and controls are more handy and the whole game feels more user friendly
but still , enemy AI can by fucking stupid , saw a jeep full of baddies roll downhill , soldiers run in circles and crap like that , but they're aiming was pretty good and even on the easiest difficulty you can't take to much damage before you die

Okay, I'll bite. Loading the 02:Good Morning T-stan mission start runnning default high settings at 1920*1200 resolution( 3D resolution 1280*800), I'm getting 30-45 fps. My computer has a QX9650 @3.8ghz, 8gb DDR3 and a Radeon5870. All the drivers are the latest, and Win7 was reinstalled a week ago( new HDDs). Not that it matters, since I always keep my windows completely clean.
You gonna tell me you're getting nearly twice my fps at the same settings with a system that isn't even half as a good? Granted, the CPU doesn't make a big difference if yours is OC'ed to 4ghz, since the game only uses two cores. Still, your graphics card is like 1/3 of mine.

It's the 1.52 patch. I just put my resolution to 1920x1200, then switched settings to High, didn't touch anything after that. Still, 30-45 fps is really at the limit of playability for an fps. You can also find plenty of people with i7's and even better GPUs than mine who are having tons of performance problems. As such one have to wonder what the point with these settings are, if no computers can actually run it properly. Well, except Atrox6661's computer, that is.
Also, what's the point with the stupid 3D resolution thing? Why not do like all other games and have a single resolution setting?
Here's some screenshots, first using Very Low settings, second using Very High settings and third showing my CPU usage.

i think i read a while ago (might have been about vanilla arma2) that compared to vista/win7 xp gets 10-30% better performance. it might have been fixed with the patches or it might still be the case, so maybe thats why people with worse computers are reporting high fps (they are running on xp)

Might just have to buy this one.
I've always liked the british army, no idea why, but especially the L85A2 is awesome in my opinion. A shame it isn't free like EW.

Yeah, I should have said that I was running it on XP.
Not sure how it'll perform on 7 x64 yet, as I just got this computer and I'm saving up for a 480GTX.

What the smegging smeg in the name of smeg, every game I play lately has tearing and forcing vsync with 10 different programs does nothing, and I just started to like win 7, NEVER had these problems on Xp I thought they finally fixed them as it's was the same peace of shit with Vista  but no.
I'll try and install this game under Xp then, I can't fucking play with this much tearing aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fix the goddamn drivers or something or will I have to wait for the next OS as this seems to be a problem that will keep on going forever with this kernel.

Is there anyway to get the weapons from AO into ARMA II?
I really like the SCAR models from AO.

Both ArmA 2 and OA have gotten new beta patches, for ArmA 2 it's mostly the new functionality from the latest OA updates and the OA beta was updated again yesterday with some things like apparently a better memory module and fix for terrain shadows plus some new script commands, likely for the British Campaign DLC coming soon.

It can be pre-ordered? didn't know that.
(Outside of Steam that is as I've seen it listed there, if that's what you used Steam://install/65700 could work but it might also be 33960 but I guess the Steam servers won't allow it to connect and download just yet however though sometimes there's been exceptions.)

Full changelog.
| Quote: |
========================================================
VERSION 1.54 HIGHLIGHTS
========================================================
* Arma 2: British Armed Forces Lite - all units, vehicles and weapons from Arma 2: British Armed Forces are included in this patch with lower quality textures and audio files. The full version of Arma 2: British Armed Forces with high resolution textures and packed with a new campaign and large selection of new single player missions is available for purchase, see http://www.arma2.com/baf for more information about the content of Arma 2: British Armed Forces.
* Numerous stability and functionality fixes and improvements.
* Reworked MP Session Browser and Mission Selector.
* Engineer - Engineers have undergone some serious training and are now capable of repairing damaged vehicles and defusing mines. An engineer can patch up a badly damaged vehicle, making it operable. A damaged component can be repaired to 60% status; however, note that the total damage inflicted upon the vehicle persists, and further damage will be calculated cumulatively. An engineer can defuse mines, satchels, and IEDs. It's possible to order an engineer to repair/defuse something by standing close to it, selecting 'engineer' in your command bar, and then pressing '6-1' ('action' > 'defuse'/'repair'). If you are engineer yourself, simply select 'action' > 'defuse'/'repair' from the Action Menu (default binding is the middle mouse button).
* Artillery Computer - All indirect fire weapons can exploit the brand new artillery computer by selecting it in the Action Menu (default binding is the mouse wheel). The artillery computer initiates an interface where you can see your weapon, and the associated minimal and maximal ranges on the map. You may adjust your fire mode in the menu to the right and select the target area that your ordinance will strike. The display will indicate an estimated time to target; once you fire the ordinance - by clicking the 'Fire' button - the interface will track each shot. Your aim will change according to your actions once you leave the artillery computer.

I played ARMA2 at release, it was fun, i got like halfway through at least (which is very good for me, i almost never finish any games hehe).
Is the game much different now? Have they updated the interface, controlls or graphics?
Glad i bought it, seems like its been getting many updates, that deserves support.
Any mod out there that "extends" / overhauls (in a good way, preferably) the singelplayer campaign of the game?

Arrowhead is better than the ArmA2 campaign, unsure about BAF but I like it so far, I use several mods (Armaholic.com) along with numerous missions and campaigns though it's very individual what one prefers.
(I don't use Ace or SLX for example whereas those are considered to be top-notch by large parts of the community as they take the game further towards simulator than game, I find it a bit too hardcore though some features are quite interesting and they do extend into a lot of new equipment over several factions like the Chinese PLA.)

means BAF can be easely pirated?
btw what mods do you use? i recently got vop sound pack 2.2 with the 2 addition soundpacks they themself recommended, and i like them alot. and i agree, most addons are real hardcore sim addons.
Arrowhead is only 15 pounds now on amazon , might finally pick it up
