I,d like to attend the AI shootem in the eye at the speed of light school!

What is the latest version and where is the avaliable DL link? Thankz

F**K steam! nuff said!

Why is it you can't move when using the Binocs,Laser marker? Yet you can move when looking thru a scope...It would be a sweet mod to be able to lower the binocs and/or move with out switching the item. Didn't mean to get off topic but someone did bring this up.

Mr Xno Thanks, its all good. Its just that I;m looking for a new title to play and arma seemed as though it was everything I was looking for. It just fell short of the mark for me. Hence my fustration, I really didn't mean to lash out at you. There are some great concepts in the game that's why I went ahead and bought it. I plan on playing with the editor a bit and giving the game a few more runs, But I really don't think this game will be on my HD for much longer, But that's just me.

Mr Xno, I,m just stating my opinon. Based on my personal expierience with arma. Sorry I don't feel the same way as you about this title. I did post my DISAPOINTMENT in the right thread did I not? The first thing I said to my self when I bought this game is "gee I need another stupid fps!" At least with those other "stupid" titles that are FPS I spent 1500 or 2000 hours, somtimes more playing and didn't spend my time on the games forums getting flamed! not after 24 hours of play time. Just look at the two threads. arma is awsome- 10 pages arma was disapionting-40 pages.That's 4 to 1.Seems like you are fighting a losing battle mr X. That reminds me there's another little detail not included in arma. Hand to hand combat. That's what makes arma such an immersive sim running in circles trying to shoot your enemy. For those who like human opponents you need servers with humans playing on them correct?Is that not the essence of online gaming? In my thousands of hours playing war games that are FPS made by other company's. I have found [mind you this is only my OPINON ] The more people on a server the more fun it is cause you never know or can count on what's going to happen,that being said you really need more than eight people to get the party going. especially with the size of the place that is arma.But you really can,t find populated servers in arma, so I'll go with eight participants. EX. last night I set the filter to servers with eight or more people , I came up with 14 servers. the 14 server is actually the make or edit your own option. Try # 14 if you like playing with yourself. So that left me with 13. 13 was a pass word server, so now were at twelve. 10 of twelve servers were 'coop' type where you play bots. server # 11 was the one where you drive a service truck to a flag so you can build a base to produce resources,Too much fun for my simple mind. ahhhh #12 was almost the right thing, a ctf two teams of humans sluging it out on an island. an island so small giligan was rooming with ginger, by the time I got into the game I got booted.whoever started it reset the server .I know not armas fault,not looking to place blame.Just stating that there's not much game to be had if you like going against humans and not AI with all the trimmings that is supposed to be arma. Again my apologies Mr X, That I just don,t care for thr reach a rank to unlock vehicles/weapons or whatever,when a bulk of the servers that are populated are set up in this fashion it just sucks,again that is not what one is led to belive when they buy this game.I have yet to see an apache attack chopper in the air in a multiplayer game.Come to think of it I haven't seen a single frag grenade thrown,again that kinda thing would take the sim out of the game wouldn,t it You just haven't lived till you heard my favorite song I think that tune is the highlight of arma imho

Well, I have played it for a week now, approx 24 hours of playing time. Its the FPS that coulda,shoulda,woulda. Its missing something,maybe alot of little things,can't quite put my finger on it. I bought the game for the online multiplayer show. I have found that at any given time there are only approx 12 or so servers with 8 or more players,Of the 12 servers ,10 of them are "coop" where the humans play on one team the ai on the other,So much for online "human" opponents....Just read the many happy threads about the ai. Anyway the next thing that added to the suck factor for me was on these coop games you can't fly or drive anything but a used toyota or a humvee with no armament, until you reach some rank that I just don't have the patience to reach. The load times for some of these servers is insane aswell.. The sound, or lack there of. If you had a world of fun with titles like bf42/bf2/cs/cod/codII/ro, and thought like myself that this was the next step in the world of fps IMHO save your money...

NO ,by the way HVS {horrible vehichle steering} is included on all models even the floor models,no extra charge! If you order before midnight will throw in the new "all or nothing accelerator" as well!

Well I went and purchased arma then went to download it! all I can say is wow. a 16 hour download, 50 kbs for approx 40.00 us dollars what a bargain! Gee the last thing I DLed on my wireless fiber optic service came in at 1.2 mps. I had a flash back and thought it was 97 I had my aol dailup @ 54kbs baby! on my PENTIUM pc. Anyway, I cancelled the DL and CANCELLED the charge to my amex! It looks like it could have been a good game. Question: Is this game avalible on store shelves In the US, NY to be excact. Until then so sorry BI.

Well I just love to stir the pot! Mr Mehan let me explain abit to help you understand. Me the CUSTOMER is paying for a service or product. BI is the MERCHANT whom I,m buying said product from. In this case the product is "software". One would think that the merchant would take great pride in delivering thier product in a TIMELY fashion.As the method of delivery is BI's responsobility.Let me add that there is no forwarning of download times prior to your CHARGE for this product. Belive it or not I have purchased softwear from other vendors, larger files that have downloaded inside of 30 miniutes or less! SO, when I was sold said "software" then went to download it,and the popup box said 16+hours @ 50kbs, I really had to question why a merchant of any software product who had any INTEGRETIY,would stand to let thier company name and reputation be attached to such horrid service! Call me crazy, imature, or whatever! As for your quote "Why the hell are you blaming BI for your shitty internet connection?" Let me clarify the elusive statement I have made.My apparent internet connection that is so infested with fecal matter as you would have it is, If I may be redundant.. Wireless Broadband fiberoptic. Which in laymens terms is "THE FASTEST AVALIBLE internent service to date". The last software I purchased and odly enough Downloaded from this very same "internetconnection" came in at 1.2 MEGAbytes per second. "MEGA" would be latin for "MILLION" as opposed to "kilo" which is latin for "THOUSAND". Add in a compressed or ZIP / WINRAR file format and do the math. I know its alot to wrap ones mind around! I fully realize and understand that every server operates at diffrent speeds dependant on volume or traffic at time of DL. THAT BEING SAID-If I'm selling software on the net I would want it to get there as fast and hassel free to my customers as possible! But being the imature 40 yr old I am,I've come to expect a certain level of SERVICE. Now I read the reviews of this game which by the way only rate about 3 out of 5 for the general public,but in lite of that fact I said to my self "self" this seems like my kinda game FPS shooter, lots of realismimmersion if you will in an online format! It supports TrackIR -with alot of attention to detail of such things like my favorite platform, the AR. geez I'm going to run out to my local best buy to get this! As video games are one of my vices or hobbies. The bestbuy near my home is in queens cnty ny. which is one of the burrows of NYC. I know, you say NYC doesn,t really have the population base to warrant a store such as bestbuy to carry such obscure titles as arma, what was I thinking?!..This bestbuy is the size of your average home depot or lowes...It just so happens that they stock just about every title you can think of. But of coarse they don't have arma. Enter the online purchase. So By this time I,m just alittle fustrated! Come on now people, I have never,ever,not even in the days when I had to use two cans with a string tied between them for an internet connection had to wait 16 hours for a download! I'm certinally not going to start now! Its a matter of principle, My value as a paying customer to a merchant. Sure I could of opted for Snail mail to get the disc. But one would imagine that it should be at least mathmatically feesable , Dare I say FASTER and eaiser to obtain such a program as arma via the internet by way of "download" in the year 2007? Why certainaly technology has advanced to this degree? But alas' I am but a simple cave man! The REALITY is I could of had it sent it overnight fedex and I would have received the disc before the file downloaded, that's just not right! Perhaps that type of service is ok for you Mr Mehan. Here's a good rule of thumb. Someone else has posted this gem in this thread ,you would be well advised to heed it. Don't settle for any program that takes longer to download then a complete operating system format and reinstall and a roundtrip flight to florida! OK I added the florida part, But Living five miniutes from the united terminal of kenndy international ,I could beat the download! Thats with the os reinstall.I'd be cutting it close but very,very possible. This is by no means an intended bashing thread, moreso its a rant or vent for service that sucks! As a cash paying customer I vote with my dollars. I'm so sorry to offend anyone who would settle for that kind of service, let us agree to disagree then! Hey your right,walmart great idea! Thanks! and hey after all, its just a game!
