ARMA II was announced for consoles a long time ago. It has a Q4 release date on IGN for 360 but I seriously doubt seeing that happen. More likely 2010. I hadn't seen any info on it being canceled but then I haven't heard anything on it in quite a while so that very well may be the case.

I will wait for a few more reviews from sites I trust like gametrailers before getting it although in all likeli-hood I will. The majority of reviews released so far have rated it above average to excellent . I have been waiting for a realistic military shooter for consoles in the vain of the first OFP for a long, long time. I am not happy about the gimpy multiplayer either but who knows, the gameplay may be refined and balanced enough that it still is fun on competitive multiplayer. Co-op should rock regardless.

And you came to the conclusion all by yourself that Dragon Rising is “an intricately detailed military simulation”. When it isn’t. Not even close.

If you played it, and I don’t believe for a microsecond you did, then you would know just how lacking Dragon Rising is. You would actually have a game to compare it to instead of immediately jumping to your only source of reference: Call of Duty4. The fact that you, and the other child, hilariously echo the cesspool of mewling cabbages the CM forum has become is not at all surprising. Real fans of OFP have long since departed.

Strange, as your very first reply to me was nothing more than “petty puerile name-calling” because you can’t defend the game or address the points I made about its limitations. Instead of acting like an adult and saying, “I don’t agree with you, here are some valid counter-points…” you opt for “WAAAAAAH! WAAAAAAAAH! MOROOON! YOU PLAY CALL OF DUTY! WAAAAH! WAAAAH!” and generally throw your toys out of the pram.

Priceless.

CM put a review embargo up until release date which only compounds their previous suspicious cancellation of the pre-release demo. I'm waiting for Eurogamer's review which will take MP into consideration as the SP campaign in Dragon Rising is very short even with co-op.

The PC post-release demo will be the real decider.

Eurogamer reviews usually make or break for me as well (the review text not the scores) but I did get suckered with a cheap pre-order for OFPDR (£29 from shopto).

wow £29 thats fair decent..mite have to go there an get it instead

Zatoichi Sanjuro were you born an obnoxious moron or do you have to practise at it every day ??

we have a different view to the game than you do stop trying to ram your point of view down our throats and get over yourself

you are an obnoxious self opinionated narcistic infantile ass
is that enough big words for you ??

why not go find another forum where ppl might be a bit more receptive of your forcefed view of the world or are you going to be like a fart and linger around long after everyone else has departed ?

should't worry about it mate, he's just another forum troll trying to get a response out of people. he can believe what he likes, just ignore him and he'll go away, we're gonna buy it, we're gonna have a great time playing it. and he'll be all alone with his CoD stats. Let it go, he's just some punk 12 year old from the deep south. It's all irrelevant. I look forward to giving you a game.

think what you said hits the nail on the head mate :)
yea we will have a great time playing it online just like we all do with bop and will be good to catch up with all you guys
not able to get online much this week im back at work and my gf is at home a lot this week so i might have to engage in some adult conversation on decorating, tv soaps and how her mates boyfriend is a moron lol oh the joy i can hardly contain myself lmao !!!:grin:

lol always fun, I'm in the middle of building two chicken proof wire cages o go over our two vegetable beds, and I'm also building a fence and gate to go between the garden and drive-way to keep our two chickens in :) and with any luck this weekend, we might go and look at a breeder in our county for 2 more chickens :) gotta love fresh eggs in the morning.
