MadDogX: I agree with you, but i think he meant the campaign + WIP game. The game runs really good on my pc until too much AI, but the campaign is really heavy in its parts so i think thats what he meant. The game itself going in other easier/lighter missions or the editor will most definatelly be even easier on the system than ARMA2 for obvious reasons (less objects, better vegetation).

Very nice indeed! Will check it out when i get back from work. Good job guys. :)

Well said. This is the greatest in its genre and we do love it tons. And OA will be the best thing ever created so far. :) EDIT: About some weapons taking up much of the screen: You can move your head freely in this game you know so it isnt as bad as you think. Im used to move my head all the time with the freelook button and its placed on my thumb button on my mouse - easy access. This would be bad news if it was any other title without freelook.

And now we are on 339 so... :) (cool though) Thanks for the update ACE! And thanks KH for AS update. ;) EDIT: Sorry for being a schmuck SB, but are the main changes these in ACE for the latest version? And im sure there are other changes but either you dont have time to write them down or they are of such character that it isnt needed for us to know? Just checking. Per usual. :) Changed ILS activated by keypress (default: compass key). Check ace_keys.hpp [rocko] Added "ATK"/"PR"launch authorization indication for helicopter borne SACLOS missiles [zGuba] Removed Keys overview in Journal (Moved to CBA)

Yep seems the HDR is mocking up and making it impossible to see when too much light hit the screen. Little disapointing, but i guess this one is hard to get rid of at this stage. It does look great though. We wanted the VBS2 FLIR and we got it - even enhanced so we shouldnt complain. :) Good work BIS! Shooting from vehicles... Cmon and get into the match. There are countless of explanations why some things cant get into this game from VBS. And they are explained so many times i cant be arsed to explain them again. Sorry.

Feature in the campaign only?

I agree it would be nice if it was a ON/OFF feature. I do like it in some situations in SP, but for MP it should be optional. Maybe it will be. Well see.

Cause its WIP? :D My standard answer to everything looking weird today.

Same with vehicle damage. Its a redesign and nothing new i think. Istead of showing the colors on a vehicle icon it shows it in text boxes. We could see if the left or right track or turret etc was hurt before as well. Maybe engine though is new? Or that might been the main hull of the vehicle icon? Anyway, it all looks very good. Hope the sound+soundengine is on par with the rest. :)

Probably easy mode. Just like glowing orbs now on easy.

No matter how good OA is out of the box - ACE will complement and elevate it even higher. :)

2 sets: might be because its WIP. And yeah JW - that image is superb! :)

Show me when BIS did a pre-render before? ;) I sure as hell never seen it. And thats why BIS rules. Anyway - lets discuss all this in the OA thread.

Yeah... Im in ecstasy guys. :D Those screens of units, weapons, island, gear and all just looks a-fackin-mazing! BIS it looks you did hell of a job! :)

^^ Looks great as well as this. :)

W...O...W! :) facial expressions are awesome and so is the rest. Cant wait. Thanks BoboCZ!

Or chat. Dont know the language of your keyboard but on mine (swedish) its the "-" button. That opens the chat field and then type away. Change channels as desicribed by Walker like side, global, vehicle, direct, commander etc etc. Emm second look at your post you say you have no mic but first post you say you cant set your mic up? So you have a mic but you dont know how to talk through it in ARMA? Like Walker said its CAPS LOCK. Press it and people can hear you. Ofcourse if the server doesnt allow VOIP (ARMA2's in game voice program) then no one can hear you and you have to text chat. But if its active then just push and talk away. If people dont reply then they might be shy or just dont want to talk. You can always text chat as mentioned to ask if VOIP is activated. Unless they already talking. Then change the channel to SIDE wich should make all on your side hear you.

Went with your words bangtail as you know and ordered a small SSD (intel X25) for the OS wich i think is the modern way to go, and ontop of that i go RAID0 for ARMA2/games/progs. And to top it off i get 12GB ram so ramdrive will be used for the special moments. I think that will be good as the space/cash/speed with raid0 seems smarter than bigger expensive SSD's for gaming. Unless you got overload of cash ofcourse. In that case it doesnt matter. :)

What if this damn volcano keeps it up... OA is shipped through train? Maybe thats the usual method in europe (depending on where the discs are pressed i guess)? Gotta admit i have no idea.

Thanks for the updatez mate-o! And good game dude. :D

So your not using Rsync or YomaAS? Not good my friend as that keeps you updated at the press of a button. Latest version is 337.

..And we have to remember that its an expansion and not ARMA3... I remember expansions being new missions with some new gear, and now we already got (according to info we got so far): FLIR, flash lights, PEQ (laser), backpack system, new MP/SP campaign, 2 new islands, new MP/SP missions (prolly), new gear, units, vehicles - in all new factions, random town generation, bug fixes, engine improvements and who knows what else. Phew. And this to a lower price than full game (sweden show full price so far but might change). Not that im against getting more more and more stuff into Operation Arrowhead (deff not), but if they pull the above off in a good way im going to be pretty satisfyed.

Looking good EMERY & Co! :) Buidlings in VBS2 is really good because they have so many balconies, flat rooftops and ofcourse lots of them have opened garage/shops/rooms so lining them up along a road makes tons of hiding places for ambushing snipers etc. :) Dont mean to take those buildings, but would be nice to get same-ish style. Is there any place with free 3D buildings? Hmm gotta go investigate hehe. Keep up the always great work.

Many asked the same questions before you so browse through the forum and read what people say to get an idea. Personally i havent had any game breaking problems since day 1. But then again i started the campaign much later and it worked right through for me without problems. Go for it. EDIT: And if you do like these series and have played them then you know what you get so theres no reason to wait. Again, go for it.

Didnt see any mentioning of testing the beta so give it a test. http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php Top in the green bar is the latest version. Its installed besides the 1.05 version so it doesnt mess with it but creates a new shorcut for the beta alone. So no hassle but everything to win. But your problem sounds weird and i dont really think its about what version or addon you run. However test the beta anyway and see if anything gets better.
