Infam0us 10 Posted March 20, 2008 <span style='font-size:11pt;line-height:100%'>IC ArmA</span> Frequently Asked Questions Is this like a clan? No. We are not a clan. We do not rely on any external organizations, ladders, clubs, or groups for this tournament. International Conflict:Armed Assault has its own schedule, servers, administrators, forums, and armies - everything needed to run independently and entirely on its own. Individuals and members of clans are welcomed to join, but you will have to leave your clan tags/affiliations at the door. Isn't that like breaking up clans? Not at all, IC-ArmA understands that members have outside affiliations. IC:ArmA is about building team work and making friends in the international community, and of course, having fun. How do these 2 forces fight each other? International Conflict utilises Armed Assaults multiplayer component to stage large scale battles. The two teams fight it out on an official battle day to determine who is victorious. The armies fight over nominated territories and they carry them forward to the next battleday. How Large is Large? We have an average of about 100 players in each battle with 126 players being the record. We hope with your help, we can keep pushing it further and further! What are the requirements to join International Conflict:Armed Assault? * You must have your own legal copy of Armed Assault * You must have a set of speakers and a mic. * You must download and use TeamSpeak. * You must visit the forums as much as possible. * You must have fun. Why Teamspeak? it is imperative that each force communicate within their teams. TeamSpeak is a very simple, and flexible Voice-Over-IP (VOIP) software program that enables you to communicate via a mic to your team-mates. TeamSpeak is free to download. And having speakers and mic, and downloading and using TeamSpeak is a requirement of the tournament. You may use a headset with mic as well. How often do these forces fight each other, and for how long? Official Battle days are one day every weekend (unless posted otherwise, e.g. due to Holiday, etc.). Currently they are 3 hours long. Do I have to play the entire time? No. You can play as much as you can or as little as you want. Some players can hammer out the whole lot, and others can only put in 1 hour. How are the 2 forces organized/structured? Each army has their own organizational structure as established by their Commanding Officers and General Staff. Each is broken down into sub-divisions or companies that has its own Officers, Non Commissioned officers, and enlisted troops. Do I have to follow the orders of higher ranking players? Yes. To achieve the level organization we strive for here, it is important that orders be followed and carried out. How can I advance my rank? One word, PARTICIPATE. Show up for practices, show up for battles, take part in discussions on the forums, hang out on the TS server, get to know your officers. That will get you started. Then it all depends on your qualities as a leader, and that is more complicated, do you have what it takes to lead men in combat? What is the official language of the tournament? English, spoken on TS and written in forums. Is this a very competitive tournament? Is the atmosphere cut-throat? International Conflict stresses teamwork, strategy, organization, friendship, and most of all fun. The members here take playing the game in the campaign very seriously. They came to International Conflict looking for organization and to get away from the chaos and anarchy that takes place in the public servers. At the same time, lifelong friendships are made and on non-battle days, many members will go "pubbing" to have fun and practice teamwork (they will jump on a public server). And at other times, many members just hang out on our TeamSpeak server. Now the Big Question - when? Sign up is open NOW! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asch 0 Posted March 24, 2008 where is the server located, north america or europe? because it would be difficult to play pvp with 100+ ping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PuFu 4600 Posted March 24, 2008 The server is currently located in US, though IC admins are looking in switching to a server in UK. The ping is not an issue with ArmA, unlike other games. It is because how the netcode is done, ppl with higher pings will receive a higher number of packages. I am EU, i have 150 ping but no problem with desynk or lagging all over the place. The MOD also includes: Custom skins Custom Weapons and Vehicle configs Custom Bradley Custom T80u and more..., including upcoming custom islands especially created for this tourney http://arma.totalgamingnetwork.com/sc/news_img/ic3scrim2.wmv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
russin 0 Posted March 24, 2008 where is the server located, north america or europe? because it would be difficult to play pvp with 100+ ping. the server is located in New York for the time being 100+ ping is very playable Pufu is correct there will soon be a extreme UK server within the next little while server is being built as we speak...

KeyCat 131 Posted March 24, 2008 I joined IC:ArmA for campaign 2 and can highly recommend it if you like teamwork and combined arms operations with ~100 players! Me as well is located in Europe (Sweden) and have no real issues with ~120+ mS ping when playing large scale battles. Just want to take this opportunity to say THANKS to UN (and everyone else involved) for the immense work they are doing ensuring everything works and continously improving it, S! /KC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sabre4809 0 Posted March 24, 2008 Just joined recently (last week) and been watching the forums. Im excited to end my holiday and get back to my flat so that I can try make time to play. Â There are 300 members that are actually assigned to armies although not all are active its still large. If your sceptical just join and have a look, I was sceptical at first but once you actually see the inner part you realize the possibilities which it seems get reached.
