Interesting Facts And Figures
The Key Improvements over ArmA
• Micro AI: AI can precisely navigate, find cover
and co-operate with centimetre precision (in
comparison to meter precision in ArmA 1)
• Suppressive fire simulation
• Battlefield clearance and first aid
• Dynamic conversation and communication
system
• Animations (more fluid and realistic, hand sig-
nals, ability to reload while walking, climb over
smaller obstacles)
• HALO insertion
• Mega SEF - brand new sound engine allowing
very complex sound effects
• Player-driven main story with emphasis on the
team
• multicore optimisations (more troops and
higher detailed scenes combined with a solid
frame rate)
• Shader Model 3.0
• support for multiple joysticks/controllers
