I aint bothered that it was chosen by the publisher.. i think they should do that and not the community.. they are the publisher afterall.. But that shot is crap, the text on the top has the default photoshop outer glow, the pic is of a low quality res and on low settings in ArmA. Jeez is this a joke? 1st April was a while ago lads.

The best card for arma IMO would be the Geforce 7950 GT 512mb if u can stretch to it Otherwise get a 8800GTS or GTX if ur going to buy a DX10 card.. the cheaper 8600 versions are not as good as people think they will be.

I sometimes have issues with my Linksys router's DMZ i dunno why, maybe i dont set it up right or summat, but try these... Required Ports: If you need to trigger ports behind a router or firewall the following ports are required to be open: 2302 ArmA 2303 Server 2305 VOIP Or maybe Gamespy was down, it sometimes happens to me but usually only once every 3 months or something and i click multiplayer, it freezes for like 2 minutes, then i get a blank server list, but its responsive for me...

Excellent work as always Mandoble!!

Cant be certain but i think i remember reading that it would include an 'engine overhaul' or something in the likes? :S

Umm u get the campaign stock, and about 10 single player missions as a rough guess, some are unlocked after u complete a previous one But they arent *that* good maps, but theres plenty out there which are great to play offline, check out User Missions and stock up on somemaps, i'd recommend Dynamic War (should be on the first page of the UserMissions thread) which is great because its dynamic so its always different when you play. The AI limit i think is realllllllyyyy high, theres a max of 150ish groups of soldiers i think, which is insanely high.. and you can have tons and tons of soldiers per group, i dont know the exact limit but ive had over 30 soldiers in my group before soo obviously i dont think u could find an issue with the offline limit Plus if u ever get bored while travelling, use the Mission Editor!! Great fun to be had there, whether its something stupid or a well thought out mission Hope it helps

I rarely even use ladders and i havent got any other securom bugs or anything like that, so i dunno whether i'll bother downloading this... It wont stop you accessing servers using the hotfix will it? And for those moaning about the little amount of fixes, dont expect a patch for a while, i'd say maybe when the expansion comes out we'll get one now.. as its scheduled for september.. so another patch before that would be unlikely... I hope we get better performance in the expansion!! Ciao

8800 GTX is bloody expensive, but it will last u the longest out of any other card out there.. so expect to play games like Crysis well on it. Otherwise i'd get the 7950GT or 8800 GTS as suggested above, 7950GT runs ArmA sweetly tho =) (but not a Dx10 card)

U need number 1, the 'euro' update, u want 1.04 - 1.05

You need the 1.04 -1.05 Patch first (smaller one) then the 1.05 - 1.08 patch (big one)

Frustrating: 1) They are easy enough to outsmart, BUT they can see you and pinpoint your exact location, then shoot you through a wall or bush or something. 2) The AI that are on your side are equally as stupid, therefore you end up pretty much on your own, and although u can outsmart some, the AI will still pinpoint and shoot you from distance and through objects So i believe that the AI need to be smarter, AND more realistic, so dont have them running down open streets towards you aimlessly, make them suppress and be suppressed etc. And dont have them shoot you from extreme distances where its near impossible for you to do the same. My two pence

Yeah i guess.. but i like the user missions forum because for noob map makers like me, you can get tips, bug reports and praise/death threats for your map But if BIS were to create an official map depository which people would use then i'd be all up for it, i like Armaholic, but theres not as many members there to *just* release it on Armaholic (especially if you need feedback)

Good idea, but it would mean that a player could dominate as they would keep evolving and no-one would be able to keep pace with him as they are overwhelmed by a Abrams or something.. if you know what i mean. But if everyone spawns with a M136 then i guess it would be pretty balanced

Great addon matt, nice work! Cant believe i missed this for so long O_o Keep it up!

You have 2GB RAM, try this tweak http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....b+tweak

hehe Cheers, yeah it wont be as good as yours at all.. And the script i think was made by Karr a while ago for OFP and modified for ArmA, so i dunno whether its JIP compatible, i havent had much testing apart from my own testing of certain things. Thanks for the tip on the buildings, i'll sort that out for 1.00 =) it was really annoying me trying to find some flat land... I guess i'll have to tear apart another CTF to get some JIP compatible scripts if this doesnt work. Cheers mate

Good Day :P I present to you a new CTF i have made, its not loaded with many magical scripts but its i think its a good CTF, its at version 0.9 at the moment, so im open to suggestions for the map, please alert me of any bugs or anything and i'll do my best to fix them. Im a learning map maker so any tips you may have will be very welcome =) Features: @Capture the Flag @Custom building placements @Custom ruin environment @Anti Team Kill Script @Balanced gameplay for both sides @Vehicle respawn @Custom Music + Intro (i intend to clean up the intro for v1.0) Images: README ====== Mission: CTF 30 A Little More Action Version: V0.9 Developer(s): Jack-UK Description: A standard CTF with custom buildings/ruins on Sahrani.

Hell no, that track rocks! Leave the dam thing alone :P

Indeed i also wish we had the mission editing forum back in the ArmA area, makes sense to me. We still get threads in here asking questions about scripting and editing and such.. *sigh*

So long as it isnt in the mission name itself i dont really mind where it goes. The mission description is only 1 line long on the waiting screen so theres not much you can fit on there anyway, you can stick your name, or a catchphrase or something in it, or maybe a quick description of the mission if it is 'unique' otherwise i dont think its that useful. Breifings i usually like to be clear about what to do in the mission instead of having "Made by xxxx" or whatever plastered all over it, use the notes section!! I shall be using this standard in the future.. =)

Voted yes! So ... Howz about it mods/admins?

Notice you only mentioned graphically And ArmA eats up more performance than any other game.. plus the 'forests' dont really look like forests to me, i think they looked better in OFP:Resistance personally, with the improved trees in ArmA i think they could have looked a bit better. Dont get me wrong though, ArmA IS beautiful, u only need to look at the screenshots section to see that, but you need a top notch PC to get the max settings, and even then you wont get good frames. Plus some people have great systems with 8800s and such and they get worse frames than people with lesser systems (for unknown reasons). What i love BIS for though, is their patches

Any idea if or when it wil be released mate? Â Looks very interesting, and looked like some form of rag doll physics were used on the bodies of the men? I dont think there was any ragdoll on the men.. they had the same death animation, the video was cut at the end of each anim and showed again with another explosion The hummer explosion looked IMMENSE though Nice one

Very true, but the jump from CryEngine 1 to CryEngine2 is huge: ONE: http://www.crytek.com/technology/index.php?sx=eng1x TWO: http://www.crytek.com/technology/index.php?sx=eng2 Whereas i think most people will agree there isnt that much of a jump between OFP -> ArmA. By the way, i dont think ArmA sucks or i wouldnt play it Im just saying that i think ArmA in some aspects lags behind the times, and i just think the gap will grow as time goes on, as you say because the Crysis team is 4x bigger than BIS
