what does gone gold actually mean? That a certain amount have sold? If so how many?

[max power 21]

It means that they're past the release candidate stage and can start printing dvds.

Will the game be shipped v1.06 and need to be patched to v1.07?

be sure to have your reactivations ready, Sprocket users

I predict a lot more stupidity on these boards and the mods "pimp hands" will get quite a workout. I'm crossing my fingers though.

gone gold doesnt mean anything ...

In my eyes its rather PR than anything else. ArmA had gone gold too and remember how crazy everyone was ?

And ArmA turned out to be .... well you know it.

Well... Ive uninstalled ArmA and sent it to a friend in the Netherlands. I just like the people in this forums, this is why Im here daily and not because of the game, Im back to OFP anyway

SOBR, yer just talking crazy talk. ArmA is an investment. You'll be back, they always come back.

well.....he got..........raped............i mean...........what could you do when you feel like get raped...........

anyway, about the version, i think it may like the UK release, 1.06 came with US, and we all get patched up to 1.07

I bought it a month or so ago and it goes Gold only now  ??

Im i wrong in thinking that anything before Gold is just beta and therfore my shelf packaged version of ARMA (au v1.05) is nothing more than a Beta ? and i paid for it thinking it was the 'Gold' ?

So now not only are we getting alot of new games ,Never exactly fully complete and left to the users to fix and finish after a few patchs, which i guess can have its good sometimes, Falcon 4.0 comes to mind. I Gotta say im impressed with all the patchs so far for ARMA, least they are trying. Fs9 and MSTS still have 1 patch each.

I have hope for the game , tho still waiting on nvidia for 8800 sli vista drivers.. so i can SLI this game and get playing, Ive done the training but the texture, jerkyness and other issues mentioned across the board. keep me from firing it up.. And real truth is Supreme Commander just has to be finished!

But then SLI has also been mentioned as an issue.. Bring on the next patch BSI

...

Obviously the other versions went gold ages ago or you wouldn't have it

The US version is gold meaning that they are manufacturing it and getting ready to ship it out.

[Boweavel 0]

So its just a language/region version...  gotcha

Still, bring on the patch

[-Puma- 2]

weeeee patch

noooooo noobs

Again the 1 month period of dodging TK noobs, explaining hand to hand how to fire a weapon, respawning at airbase to see it totally destroyed

Oh well least they're anxious to go and kill some Opfor

[Maddmatt 1]

Still, bring on the patch

And the A10s

Damn I need a new joystick, unless someone here knows how to fix the screwed up rudder on an old Sidewinder FF2. PM me if you do.

I wonder why ATARI claism only 50 players in MP

while we can already go 64 players

yet official website says

Quote[/b] ]... can be played with 100+ living opponents ...

lets hope they not gunna degrade max players to fit description

maybe due to lags?

i bet you can have more then 65 but it would be unplayable..

I notice that mission becames heavyer when we put lot of men in the map.

i know this engine is really good but its not optimized yet.. not by far.

[TheElite 0]

they have changed it a little but not fully.

now the official wording since arma:co is

"The number of people allowed in a multiplayer game is limited only by the server’s capability and usualy there can be more than 50 players together with hundreds of computer controlled units."

usually there can be more than 50
