Basically...

This is just a mod for 2142...  lets look back a little... this mod was originally for BF2, but along came 2142, so that was scrapped before giving anybody anything, a demo , or a beta. Now a lot of ppl are patiently awaiting its release... so technology is improving all around us and we are forced to buy new rigs... And now we have the most incredible game out right now (well its out in may in the US officially), Armed Assault... a first person tactical simulation (Part BF2, Part Americas Army, with a smidgen of COD)... This game is what BF2 should have been, with graphics 10 times better than Bf2's. So what im getting at is, with the increase in technology, software and hardware ie. direct x 10, new graphics cards to support it.. the people that have been waiting for this mod are gonna be long gone as these graphics are gonna seem bleak in comparison. I'm not trying to sell AA, cause i am starwars fan,  im just merely stating a fact and using it as an example. People do move on. So best of luck to the team, i just dont wanna see you guys lose yer fanbase to newer technology.. and i am also very interested in seeing this mod see the light of day soon. I also hope EA doesnt release another expansion of BF2 that will make you guys put 2142 on the sidelines also, to get ready for "BF2- 2142 Assault" with Direct  x 10 support.

So like i said before... hurry and launch.

/agree

after transfering all the current material from BF2 there are probably alot of people some what impatient however I suspect a possible beta soon perhaps big_smile

Re: FirstStrike better hurry and launch

"Hurry up and launch" sounds like something you'd say to a constipated person...    Rest assured the team is doing its best to get something out to the public.

Btw, AA doesn't have nearly the hype that Quakewars has, and I am pretty sure it will not be as big a hit as you might think..

I'm pretty sure its been released already around Europe, and has been a total failure.

Re: FirstStrike better hurry and launch

Armed Assault is awesome.
That screenshot you posted looks more like Operation Flashpoint, ArmA's predecessor.
It's way more realistic than Battlefield, actually gets good patches that don't screw the game over  and it feels really immersive. Also, it sells quite well.
Here are some real screenies. Note the pwetty shadows.  The animations are the best you'll find in any game.

Re: FirstStrike better hurry and launch

yeah and it has the best editor ive ever seen,  although u cant make maps, you have to use their maps, but were talking maps the size of a small country... so theirs plenty of places to your liking. Yeah i need to post some screenshots, cause the battles at night are unbelievable,  you feel like yer in iraq, and the ai are some of the best around. This game is gonna be huge when its released in the US. Those screenshots above are nice, but you really need to see screenshots during the sunset... to me , thats when they really stand out.
