I used the free CS2 giveaway a few months ago for Photoshop - than it stopped working for me and I discovered that I can do everything I need with Paint.net :)

Simply not true. And neither is the picture true - i dont know a single representative family consuming that much alcohol.

Did you hear of the massive botnet attacks on wordpress websites a few days ago? Even pages you'd consider as no danger could pose a threat. This is not about common sense. http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/04/huge-attack-on-wordpress-sites-could-spawn-never-before-seen-super-botnet/

Interesting page, thanks for sharing! I gladly promoted the right software (Kaspersky) =)

Haha, thats pretty cool :D

Battlefront 3 looks like WoW in Star Wars... :(

I don't know about the format in which the models, textures etc are stored on the CD (hehe) but I looked at the source code and its really just c++/c stuff. It would take a HUGE amount of time to mod this game...

Happend! The last good game by Lucas Arts was Jedi Academy and thats like 10 years ago - I can understad the decision!

I'm just wondering because I cant imagine that Kaspersky doesn't find those 20 threats. Are they real viruses or just stuff where the heuristics scream "warning"? I had sometimes problems at work with certain virus scanners who detected my freshly baked VB.net programs as threats - only because of they weren't signed or anything.

Source?

Using Kaspersky since forever and I frequently gets awards for being the best system. Plus it seems like they really managed to make it run fast in the 2013 release :)

Yes. As far as I remember BIS introduced the feature as simple land generation and extended it to some point - though I don't own ArmA 2 (I can't play fast paced games anymore, motion sickness - ArmA 3 again works, don't know why). @Myke True, they're still fighting but I remember (thats really some time ago and probably out of the OFP time) reading an article about the AI and about the way it fights out of a certain range. Again, I might be wrong, but I'd bet that its a difference between AI fighting right next to you and on the other side of the island.

Great article! :D

Thats no difference to today. AFAIK BIS isn't really simulating parts that can't be seen by the player. And ArmA 2 already had the algorithm you're asking for. And to use Google Earth's data it needs to be waaaaaaa[.....]y more accurat.

You have to differ between tasks the engine has to do. I'm quite certain that BIS engine could even render much much larger worlds as we're seeing today. The point where it becomes tricky is to populate everything with AI. Place your player on an ArmA island and everything will be allright. Place 1000 AI soldiers with him and your computer will probably take a nap or something. I really don't have that advanced knowledge of game engines, but I have the feeling that BIS made a huge step with ArmA 3. There where people asking for a new engine after OFP and considering what BIS made out of the original OFP engine I think their evolutional way is quite effective. These videos always show a single isolated technology that is quite amazing for itself. But they always forget all the other parts that are simulated, too. And I never saw a youtube clip of a revolutional AI. That would be interesting. Edit Also wrong forum :P

Does someone remember about EA being the worst company on earth? =) Edit Here it is: http://consumerist.com/2012/04/04/congratulations-ea-you-are-the-worst-company-in-america-for-2012/

I absolutly can't agree. I think the movement is pretty nice and smooth and no comparision to OFP!

The Alpha is better than playing the first time OFP! I mean it. I loved OFP back then but this time I'm really impressed with the graphics and the smoothness with which the game runs. And I don't get motion sickness anymore while playing (the problem why I could'nt play ArmA or ArmA 2) - you must have down something with the movement, BIS. I have problems with 95% of todays games because of motion sickness. ArmA 3 is the first shooter that runs fine for my head :)

Its a matter of games. I think this is an observation you can make with many MMORPGs. Lets take WoW as example. When i started playing the game a decade ago you really needed to put some effort into the game. The needed to travel long distances and it took a while until you reached a goal. Then I quit the game for 5 years and was really suprised in how many ways Blizzard had made the game easier, because the younger crowds where whining about nearly everything that took time or effort. This is indeed not about people who want to enjoy a fast game in front of their TV. I think its really about this instant award thing!

http://answers.ea.com/t5/Miscellaneous-Issues/Traffic-quot-AI-quot-This-is-why-services-and-traffic-are-broken/td-p/737060 Also interesting! Why traffic AI and so on is broken!

I guess this is not permitted by Valve.

I guess its pretty easy then for the anti steam fraction to come up with a masterplan for BIS to release the game on its own servers. I mean, how hard can it be to handle the traffic and the infrastructure needed to maintain a few servers? Or how hard can it be to distribute millions of DVDs across the world to your local store? Peace of cake!

I watched some gameplay videos and I really liked the game - except for one thing. Why the hell are the maps so small? I guess this has been discussed many times before but I just noticed the size and remembered my cities in early iterations of the game. :( Thats a no-go for me.

What I really think is funny is that the people pissing around in this forum are thinking they're talking for the majority - but its the opposite and 99% of ArmAs gamers either won't ever care that steam is needed or install it anyway :)

1) I think we still speak proper english over here :) 2) I never said anywhere that I couldn't install it. It tried using the laptop for 6 hours. So please stop 10 flaming about things that are not true. 3) You really expect me to RESEARCH the internet for understanding how the damn thing works? Come on, thats just more than ridiculous. Do you ask people without further computer knowledge the same? This is 2012! Either you code the system in a proper way or you didn't do you job right. I never had any problems understanding Win7 or the previous versions. I never had problems understanding iOS or MacOS or Android. So please don't tell me I need to do research to find out how to close an application! :) So if both of you can give me valid points for being wrong than just flaming not quite comprehensible stuff, I'd be glad :)
