R0adki11 3945 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Nice idea IceBreakr, unfortunately as you have put ACE as a requirement myself and my squad will not be playing as we don't use ACE. Hope you manage to get a few community players interested :) Edited June 13, 2013 by R0adki11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpl_hicks 2 Posted June 13, 2013 I am really interested in playing this as well but I am pst time. Will the server still be up for PST people or too far away for ping? I don't get back from work until 2100PST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cpl_hicks 2 Posted June 14, 2013 Wow that looks so cool, I like the idea of combining a military sim with Science Fiction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R0adki11 3945 Posted June 14, 2013 Too bad you guys couldn't join us in this event, its been a blast :) If you could host an event without ACE, and give abit more notice im sure more community members would be interested. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domokun 515 Posted June 14, 2013 If you could host an event without ACE, and give abit more notice im sure more community members would be interested. :) I'm definitely up for that. Although ACE and ACRE undoubtedly enhance gameplay, the size and complexity of these addons raise the entry ticket for many of us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpl_hicks 2 Posted June 14, 2013 I think its cool that its on ACE but then again I just upgraded my system for A3 so my system is rocking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted June 18, 2013 Bah I was out of town last week.. if you decide to do this again I can scrounge up 8-10 players... ACE preferred but OK without Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3100 Posted June 18, 2013 Beta A3 is coming next week, so that should be interesting. I'm at the seaside (real-life Everon, hehe) this week on R&R/some business, so we'll see what next week brings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReconSigO 10 Posted June 29, 2013 So when is the next one? A friend and I would love to join. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3100 Posted June 30, 2013 Well, I need some answers first - to use ACE or not for example? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReconSigO 10 Posted July 1, 2013 Well, I need some answers first - to use ACE or not for example? Definitely with ACE. Not sure why some are against it. I don't believe I've ever even played Arma 2 without it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted July 2, 2013 I would vote ACE but I can live without as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domokun 515 Posted July 3, 2013 Definitely with ACE. Not sure why some are against it. I don't believe I've ever even played Arma 2 without it. That'd be because: a) it's a very large download b) it significantly changes many aspects of the game c) its kinda hardcore, i.e. if you don't regularly play it renders the game less approachable Don't get me wrong, I think that it's great but it'll reduce the accessibility (rather like manual gearboxes vs automatics) And I'm interested in getting as many people involved, not just an elite. I guess you could call it a lower denominator approach ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mach2infinity 12 Posted October 11, 2013 Any chance of this happening for Arma 3 once a port over is done? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick_James217 10 Posted November 9, 2013 I got my account verified etc.. And im lookin into joining this I just need an answer to my question Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3100 Posted November 13, 2013 Mach2Infinity: lets wait until proper tools get out. BadBenson mentioned that he will release something for A3, so lets just wait... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valken 621 Posted November 14, 2013 I saw a bump and thought it was sign up for the weekends! Drat!!! :D Waiting for your mod to A3 but a new mission or two for A2/CO would be nice to wait for proper porting tools to become available! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
