    Confirmed release dates and countries.

    Exactly! Now tell me this: Why announce a release date if you know it's not gonna last?

    shooting while running?

    Yes, but that's advancing not running/sprinting.

    What do you *HOPE* will be in ArmA?

    What would be cool was if you could place satchel charges on vehicles so u had to check the vehicle before driving off

    Halo Wars

    Starcraft is IMHO still the best RTS. I didn't like the AOE series, and found the gameplay too slow for my liking.

    ArmA Progress Updates

    Perhaps you might maybe be right at some time in the near future maybe that BIS might do something that might affect us in some probably way maybe, but perhaps speculation is all just a little too stupid because maybe it doesn't contribute to anything except bandwidth usage, so maybe what we're doing right now and pretty much everyone else in this forum might just be a waste of bandwidth and doesn't add anything at all maybe to anything. Who knows? Well, since if you really make a great netcode, there is no reason that this would use any bandwith. The AI software on all machines connected to an MP game is the exact same, so the AI will react the same if the situation is the same. This system is also seen in games like starcraft, where to only things that are transmitted through your internet connection, is you mouseclicks - nothing more. No unit-placement information is sent whatsoever. Desync will be a terrible thing, though - but I see no reason why head-movements, hand animations and other 'eye-catches' is synced on all PCs in an mp game. Did you even bother to read our posts? Because your response has absolutely nothing to do with what we were talking about. Weren't we talking about bandwith sucking of useless things like the trigger-animation and random headmovements on AI? If we are talking about CPU usesage, yep then im way off... But the point still stands. There is no need to transmit these information in MP, and therefor wont affect network bandwith.

    Yea, of course Paul don't know things like this - it is simply not his department But maybe he can ask someone who does *** wink wink *** Or maybe Suma would come by one of these days - I know he is outthere somewhere

    I think it's pretty weird that BI never wants to answer questions like this. I meen... It's in all interest, and surely they have found out the final numbers by now 3Ë week prior release? It could be very nice, if one of the actual developers (The ones who know some of the more technical stuff) of the game browsed their own forums for like 5 mins per day? These questions doesn't take long to answer, and it helps themselves so all the interviews made doesn't include the same technical questions with the same 'no-clue answers' that we are seeing. Let's hope they will start answering questions like this helping the mod community to start it up before release. I must imagine it must be very frustrating not being able to start :/ I assume most of the people with the creative skills find it pretty useless to keep creating addons for OFP and therefor are pretty anxious with simple info like this.

    Where to buy ??

    No, all scripting is done using the same English language commands. Personally, I'd wait to see how the online distribution system works before I started thinking about buying the German version. Don't count on it being in the near future. I asked Idea-Games and they don't even know what system they want to use, they don't know what kinda versions they will sell online neither.

    It doesn´t matter if a warning is posted. The content is the deciding matter. The rules are pretty straight on this issue. You are not allowed to pretend your a moderator either Oups.. Now I did it

    Armed Assault fiction competition

    ArmedAssault.eu Fiction Competition We are approaching release of Armed Assault, and are all very eager to be able to play the game. The last few weeks have given us alot more 'blood on our teeth' due to the massive PR work made by BI and various fans-sites around. We have seen a new trailer from the Game Convention in Leipzig, and a bunch of new screenshots and interview from various sources. Now is the time we want to hear your most intimate fantasies about Armed Assault (That is the only fantasies we want to hear about). Therefor we have created this competition for any members of the Armed Assault community. Everyone is free to participate, except people who are Administrators or Super Administrators on ArmedAssault.eu. And the prize is? Yes - the most important aspect of any competition - the prize. We are proud to announce, that we will be giving out a brand new TrackIR4:Pro sincerely sponsored by Naturalpoint to the winner of this competition. For anyone not familiar with TrackIR, this is from the manufactores website: The TrackIRâ„¢ device is a high-performance headtracking system that enables hands free view control in popular games and simulators such as Pacific Fighters, MS Flight Simulator 2004 , Lock On: Modern Air Combat, IL2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles, Live For Speed, GTR, World War II Online, and many more. A slight turn of the pilot's head causes their in-game view to pan in any direction, totally independent of commands from mouse, keyboard, joysticks, and other accessories. Now TrackIR goes one step further to FPS-games, and Armed Assault will be the very first FPS-game that is TrackIR enabled. To see a video demonstration of this, go to this blog . What do I have to do to win this? This is quite simple. We want you to write a fictional story of atleast 700 and a maximum of 2000 words in English. The story have to be Armed Assault based. You are free to follow a single character through the story, multiple characters or as a third person observator or any other form of telling your story. This is your choice. In other words - you are free to write the story in whatever way you want :-). However (here comes the funny part). You have to use the following 12 screenshots in your story. This means that the situation on the screenshots have to be a part of your story. They are in no particular order, so you can arrange them how you like them into your story... Click here for the full competition page. Now get your butt into the site and start write YOUR story from your most wet dream about Armed Assault. The TrackIR4:Pro hardware have been kindly donated by Naturalpoint.

    blood splash

    It would be nice with those white puffs like seen in BoB to simulate the dust from the soldiers gear. Indeed you won't see any blood 'puffs' when shot.

    Crosshairs?

    Yes and yes

    Another attack?

    Well... The yanks just got beaten and kicked out of the league... I guess he meant it could be suicide Terrible though

    Woman soldiers

    Well, that is the way world works. The battlefield would be a very crappy place for men to start ignoring their instincs - those are what makes the soldier able to function under stressful situations. You can't deny your instincts - since they are not placed in your voluntary part of your brain.

    Running while shooting poll

    Doesn't matter. If it's not in yet, don't bother. If it is in, don't bother removing it If some1 wants to reveal himself to the enemy by shooting while running, please let him do so. I can honestly say if I saw some1 running towards me (in arma) while shooting, I would simply take aim and shoot him to death. I would never seek cover, since that would be too risky. So IMHO shooting while running won't do any good as suppressive fire and it won't do any good if you want to get kills.

    Woman soldiers

    Woman doesn't belong on the battlefield. Not becuase they are bad soldiers, they simply make their friendly male soldiers worse. This is due to the instinc of man, and the fact that the male soldier will take his focus on a wounded friendly soldier instead of doing his job. Risking his own life = 2 casualties. This is why you don't see many female soldiers in modern war as well. If they are stationed in war they are usually at 'rear with the gear'.
