dslyecxi 23 Posted June 16, 2007 That page is so sad, Arma is nothing like its sayingDslyecxi ...is that your book? Is it serious The posted image is not my book. My book is serious, though. My book is available for purchase here, it's a 168 page full-color softcover book: http://www.lulu.com/dslyecxi Or online (free) here: http://www.dslyecxi.com/armattp.html The posted image is a mockery of the "ArmchairGeneral" guide, which has all sorts of false, not-applicable-to-ArmA info in it. My book is actually by an ArmA fan who knows what he's talking about in regards to tactics and such that are APPLICABLE to ArmA, and not just ripped from military pubs helter-skelter without any idea as to whether they work in the game or not. edit: I posted about the ArmA tactics guide being available for print a day or two ago on the forum, you can find that post here if you're interested.

Misfit Leader 1 Posted June 16, 2007 Yea, its pretty ridiculous... even in the whole photo (you only showed a part), how'd the sniper get on the roof!I remember watching an ArmA video on YouTube showcasing usable elevators... There is lot of rooftop or building that can be visited, but yeah that's not all building/rooftop/etc.. That could be very good, but it's a lot of work. Atari always been like this. Elevator are in few buildings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But there is no function behind *LoL* Anybody renember the Elevator Video before ArmA release ? Yeah I remember it, hopefully it is still possible somehow, would add alot featurewise for many indoor type mods and even outdoor elevators...takes up less space then stairs. Anyway, heres the elevator video elevator shown around 01:25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted June 16, 2007 The Steam point is kind of Ironic because there was a poll back in the day if people wanted Steam or BIS's version of such software. Everybody was complaining and bitching about having ARMA on Steam as if Steam was the antichrist himself. Â Its ironic that right now there is a 20 page plus complaint thread about Sprocket and people saying how better Steam is. Â It just brings a smile to my face thinking that a year ago there was so much opposition to Steam which did a very good job selling Red Orchestra. Also, why is it that Tripwire being novice was able to find a much better publisher. Â You can buy it in stores pretty much everywhere. Â I haven't seen ARMA anywhere around here. Â well ... sorta what i think about ... but in that times people were bitching against ArmA appear on STEAM first and/or exclusively only on STEAM but NOW there is no reason to not release ArmA on STEAM anymore ... that's the best thing and IF ATARI complains just simply disable NA region ... also i discovered that STEAM got one great free feature ... You can use it to 'register' all retail copies with STEAM ... use ? ... against keygen generated copies and cheaters in MP so far i heard not single usable argument against STEAM ...

Zim 0 Posted June 17, 2007 steam is actually good, i have many games that i got from them, never had any problems. and i doubt people whould have had ticket/keys problems with steam since ur username and password are they "key" to ur products all what they need to do for piracy protection is check if the account is being used by multi users and then bann that account.. no need to wait for keys each time u patch etc..

Dwarden 1125 Posted June 17, 2007 it's about sales potencial noone cares about Your opinion about CS and hackers there ... btw. ROO is on STEAM too and got less cheaters than ArmA or OFPR ... so somehow Your logic fails ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been in favor of Steam for years. It is the least intrusive of the protection schemes (other than no protection scheme). I play HL2 and RO using it and have only had minor problems in the last 2 years. That is very much unlike my problems with every ther protection scheme around. Plus, when I need to uninstall and reinstall a Steam game, I just fire and forget... come back later and there it is, working like a charm. No idiotic limited install license.

Phleep 0 Posted June 17, 2007 Atari is famous for using false misleading marketing strategies. This single factor, has lead many developers to pull their products from the Atari line. Furthermore, said marketing ploy's by Atari have lead to rampant quarterly losses by said company.Is Atari dead? By no means... no they aren't. But they as a enterprise, are rapidly drawing to a close. Er... Atari is dead. Infogrammes bought the name to raise their image (instead of actually raising their performance).

Luciano 0 Posted June 17, 2007 The best thing about Steam is that you never have to download anything. Patches are automatic. There are hackers on steam, but hacking games is very dangerous to the user. If you are caught cheating, your account will be disabled, with all your games. A risk not worth taking....

Warpy 0 Posted June 17, 2007 Chipper, you obviously need to register on one of our forums so i can ban you Best comment in the thread... along with the well noted first post. It does seem a little odd and I think Atari need a swift talking too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raedor 8 Posted June 17, 2007 As this turned out as a Steam pro&con thread... it is a bit OT from it's original theme, so it is a good point to close it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
