PC Games reports on bugginess in the German edition of ARMA II,
Bohemia Interactive Studios' military shooter sequel slated for release
in that country tomorrow. Word is a patch is being readied for release tomorrow along with the
release, and here is what Bohemia Interactive CEO Marek Spanel says about the
situation:
We realize that the campaign maybe doesn't stand to your expectations but we hope that all the improvements made for the first patch will already make it much closer to what you hoped it will be initially. I just played German version 1.00 today to try some of the situations you mentioned enjoyed it despite I found a problem here or there. I'm personally not humiliated by my team mates sometimes fighting better than I do, and if something goes wrong or unexpected this game is so complex that often there is a way to find another solution of your current mission. Also, what is quite unusual is that some things happen completely differently every time I try a mission. I think the bugs do not kill the open nature of the game and that sheer scope, amount of content or beautiful country of Chernarus will more than compensate for these issues.
No surprise AT ALL.
Even ArmA 1 with the latest 1.16 beta patch (and every other patch before it) still leaves the game so bugged out it's hard to play. The game loves crashing on me and gets worse when I try to make the game better by using user made addons. Plus the performance is horrible. I can play Crysis at 1680 res with everything MAXED and it runs perfect with large view distances and all. Not ArmA. Even with everything at "normal" setting it's still slow as crap. From what I've been hearing on the BIS forums, ArmA 2 is no better on performance. Again, not surprising.
I honestly don't expect much improvement with patches over time. In fact, I almost expect it to get worse as OFP and ArmA has been that way. At least for me.
I'll try a demo but if it doesn't wow me (I'm 99% it won't) then I'll pass and think about it again once it's like $20 or less and a lot of user mods have come out.
