Two reasons to love Armed Assault 2

11-Jun-2009 Because no game has ambition like this

Spotted on youtube: two incredible videos that show just what Armed Assault is capable of. They're embedded below.

Holy crap.

Is it just me or are those videos breaking the page - isn't there a way to adjust the width?

I cannot wait to see these vids...when I get home. Damn work doesnt have flash installed Evil or Very Mad

Or sound for that matter!

It should be good. Getting this game anyway haha.

looks awesome but was it just me or did we not actually see any enemies in the second clip?

also any tips on whether to go for armaII or operation flashpoint2?

Wow. I saw screenshots of this game and thought 'doesn't look that good'.
Apparently motion does a lot for the look of a game.

Motion does look good in this game... I can however confirm my suspicions were correct. OMFG epic battles for the win!

@Thorn: Honestly dude. Get both!

OH THE HUMANITY!
Also wtf kind of supercomputer ran those. Mount and blade with 150 guys slows my modest machine and their ai is run hack and slash.

Although bear in mind your 150 guys will all be close combat. That battle was pretty far back. Good question though, apparently the game ran better on the PCG rig which has an I7 in.

I had never expected to see anything like this in my gaming life time.

Or not at least until I was about 40 or so.

I'm actually gagging for this game. I'm feeling sick just waiting for it... That's not happened since Medieval 2 for me.
