They should have just let him trip in the stairs or have him try an escape (with predictable results) to be honest.

Kim Jong-Il has to smuggle his VSOP Cognac? I bet he is already drafting his instrument of unilateral surrender already.

While you are at it you could tell me what the hell TBA is planning to do with these aswell besides making silly speeches.

It just got a hell lot colder in hell.

Didnt know israelis were such delicate flowers.

A pretty interesting article on negative campaigning.. http://www.factcheck.org/article460.html I know those are pretty common in the US, but 80-90%.. holy fuck.

If they are optimizing 8 days before release we are truly screwed. I dont believe that they have the very latest build? It's  probably the GC version.. Hopefully it is but I am a pessimist by nature.

BULLSHIT!!! How do you explain West Point? How do you explain Annapolis? The national guard getting 100% tuition assistiance and other benifites to finnish college? What about the officers who join they have to have a college degree (not including those who have gone through OCS). You have one hell of a set of balls to discount the US military! do you realize they are being killed just so you can have free speech! By GOD! you really need to understrand how pissed the US military is! Note that he said THE military not "the US military" and being that he is not an american.. Job security? (hey, it's a goverment job afterall)

A Athlon X2 4400+, GeForce 6800GT 256 and 1 GB RAM is far from a low end machince. It is still possible to turn down settings even though you on a high-end machine I assume you read the part about 25 FPS? This does not look good. If they are optimizing 8 days before release we are truly screwed.

The sample is hardly accurate since this is an english language forum. A more accurate prediction could made of the original operation flashpoint's sales.

I've always fancied a West v West scenario myself - something like a mutli-national European force (UK, Germany, Spain, Norway etc with France etc neutral) defending against a US invasion with 4/5 maps showing the different and unique terrains across Europe. Â As far as an Afghan/Iraq scenario, I think that's just far too political. For a start, even ignoring the religious aspects, many people wouldn't accept the simplistic categorization of the 'enemy' as terrorists. The reality in those wars is that there are dozens of factions, motivations and in many cases the opposition could not be slotted into the classic definition of a terrorist. Also remember that being a game, it ideally needs an end - when the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq are a very long way from resolution how could the game come to a reasonable conclusion? As other have said Communist doesn't mean Russian - neither does it mean limited to China, Russia or Cuba. There are many more governments based on variations of communism. Arma chooses a realistic but entirely fictional conflict which is a good idea IMHO - it's less likely to offend any particular group and they get to write the story as they want. The other scenario which is both current and realistic is an African or East Asian civil war (Sudan, Burma aka Myanmar). It doesn't offer the modern weaponary of the other scenarios, but it does have some interesting differences. The terrain is very different from the scenes of many Western conflicts and so are the tactics. Imagine a game based on the Myanmar type conflict - a dictatorship military government fighting a guerilla rebel army in the hilly jungle environment. The rebels roam on foot unseen through the jungle and remote villages whilst the better equipped government forces control the roads and operate from fixed bases in larger towns. How about the Taiwanese defending Taiwan from a massive invasion by the communist Chinese. Â Taiwan is an island - perfect for the game. Never mind the fact that were talking about 36000 square kilometres here..

So wondering why only 36.7GB makes me oblivious to it? What?

Well I hope they wont translate it into dutch. Gamers in Holland are saying this for years already that we dont want games to be translated to dutch it just doesnt sound good. Well atleast for the one's i know. Or god forbid, the players might actually learn something.

Well, considering an average user can easily fill a 80GB disk these days..

Wish one day somebody would have a bit of honesty and answer "money, got a problem with it?"

36.7GB.. err?

Axis of flaming?

Let me guess, the password was 8 characters or more?

.. though I doubt my copy of RO will get too much airtime when I get my hairy paws on a copy of arma.. hopefully.

And I bet the plot would be ridiclously pussified "good american backed freedom fighters help the locals overcome the evil evil regime"-type of thing.

Why would they if just blockading the mediterranean would be enough to devastate israel?

Maybe they were looking for pirate treasure. EDIT: If you happen find my skull laying around in say 100 years feel free to do whatever you want with it, I wont mind.

Actually, most missions on public sewe.. err servers seem to use respawn. Our squad however almost exclusively prefers the ones without respawn meaning that if you die at the beginning you have to wait for 30 minutes on average unless the admin has mercy on you (ie. some script goes apeshit and teleports you into ocean). Personally, something good to read and kegetyses ofp launcher giving me an audio cue when a new mission starts alleviates the problem quite well.

.. to which russians replied

I also believe they wear cloaks and moustaches and tie damsels to railroad tracks and generally hate puppies and ice cream.
