I was under the impression that you could not kill them though... Huh, guess some one illinformed me then =/

In all honesty I think everyone else is looking at it the wrong way, it has little to do with the military not allowing women I bet.. I think they are more worried about repercussion of the media if people started having mass women killings and wars going on. Same reason they wont put kids in games. Probably more of a safety net really...

bump?

He is a troll with a pirated copy, plain and simple.

Troll attempt failed.

So while fantasizing about the US release of the game by browsing the ArmA 2 web page ever 5 minutes, I started thinking about the weapon choices of the game. All in all I am satisfied with the weapon choice... except one thing. Why did they include the XM8? Now don't get me wrong, I love the M8, I got to test fire the thing around 4-5 years ago and I LOVED the gun. But it was canceled in 2005 with no plans to revive. So why would a game set some what in the future have the guns? If anything It seems they should have put in the FN-SCAR or the M416, the two guns that got circulated into the military instead. So why the M8?

Actually this post will be closed most likely. They close any post that talk about piracy. Just a forum rule. Also I bought my copy...saddly I cant play it till steam lets me =P

Fade doesn't always go off right away. The point of it is to degrade over time. SO it may be a week or so till you see any serious adverse affects.

False, a lot of people using the english file have reported fade being set off.

So I was reading on this forum as well as gamefaqs and steam forums, and there seems to be an issue with Piracy. Not that the piracy is running rampart, but i dont think people out there know about the FADE system or what it even does. I have seen people who pirated the German version and use the english patch, and they are complaining about the game being horrible and having terrible ballistics and so forth and it being unstable. While I understand the FADE system is meant to be a deterrent system, what I see it more of doing is causing people to go onto other forums and trash talk the game, making people already second guess getting it, and go with OFP2 instead (which is a bad idea, console based game = cut content, but thats another topic dont spam that here). Anyways, I feel like maybe the fade system is doing more harm than good to the reputation of ArmA. I am also a little concerned with the HUGE difference in release dates for the game. I think this article explains my reason best. A LOT of consumers right now, people on these forums, are pirating this game, as we speak, because they see everyone on here talking about it. We cant buy it, so whats the next best option? Pirate it and download the English patch. People dont want to wait another 30 days to download a game that people are all raving and talking about here. Anyone else think that maybe a world wide launch may have been a bit... smoother?

Also, letting them know that it is there does not mean they will be able to crack it. First they would have to identify it. After that, they would have to wait over a week or two to make sure they disabled it properly before releasing it. Its almost not worth trying to crack it.

fade is in the game code itself, its not a simple patch like most games that use DRM. FADE is a part of the engine itself. It would be such a burden to try to pirate it would almost not be worth it. It would take good hackers weeks to do it. And to be honest, the casual hacker wont take that much time for a game like ArmA, its not a part of the casual audience.

Some times a demo is worth the time and money though. It helps generate revenue of skeptics and helps build up hype of people who never knew it existed. A demo is a great way to get the games name out, because people see the demo and be like "I never heard of this game, but hey, a demo is almost a free game!"

But less not forget a couple of the reasons for piracy. 1) To try it before you buy it. 2) Because they want it and cant get it. A lot of people dont WANT to buy a german version and use an un-official patch to make it english, Vice Versa, they still want to play the game as earlier as possible so will go with said method until the english version is out. I have 2 clan members who almost wont buy the game unless they get to play it first. They dont pirate, but they are disappointed at the lack of a demo this time around for ArmA 2. Not only would it be nice for a world wide release, but a demo would have been nice for a few sceptics. My fellow clan members are skeptical at the AI command feature and a few of the bugs and would like to demo it first. Why no Demo this time around?

Along with the US in this, all I want to know to those who have already played it is.. Is the Russia an enemy to the US or an ally? am I even allowed to ask this actually? I dont need spoilers, if its iffy just say iffy..

So right now I am trying to come up with a script where a group of AAVs are slowly driving along side some players. I want to make it to where the players can jump on and ride the top. So my question is, what script would work best. A script where it detects when a player is near a APC it gives them the option to jump on top. Or a script where when a player is near an apc, the APC itself has the option to jump on top?

Well that does help a bit. The only other question though is if I wanted to do it on tanks also. Because I want it to be where they dont get on just ONE of the apcs/tanks, but they can get on what ever one they are standing by. Say they decide the area is clear, just walk to the nearest abrams and hop onto it, or wait unti the end of the convoy and jump on the jast AAV.

Here is the script that launches it... if(not (local server)) exitWith {}; switch (Param1) do { case 0: { }; case 1: { if(not local player) then {_handle = [] execVM "scripts\timeskip.sqf"}; }; case 2: { }; case 3: { if(not local player) then {_handle = [] execVM "scripts\timeskip.sqf"}; }; case 4: { }; case 5: { if(not local player) then {_handle = [] execVM "scripts\timeskip.sqf"}; }; }; _thread = [] execVM "scripts\MainThread.sqf"; _events = [] execVM "scripts\EventsS.sqf"; _handle = [] execVM "scripts\makesu.sqf"; _handle = [] execVM "scripts\makesuB.sqf"; _handle = [] execVM "scripts\makeka.sqf"; _handle = [] execVM "scripts\makeka.sqf"; _inc = [] execVM "scripts\reinforce.sqf"; //_para = [] execVM "scripts\makepara.sqf"; _sin = [] execVM "scripts\sinitS.sqf"; if (debug) then {_servs = [] execVM "scripts\debug.sqf"}; { if (_x isKindOf "OfficerE") then { _pobj = [_x] execVM "scripts\objoff.sqf"; } } forEach list alleast; the script I want to change is _handle = [] execVM "scripts\makeka.sqf. So does that mean the edit should look like this.. if(not (local server)) exitWith {}; switch (Param1) do { case 0: { }; case 1: { if(not local player) then {_handle = [] execVM "scripts\timeskip.sqf"}; }; case 2: { }; case 3: { if(not local player) then {_handle = [] execVM "scripts\timeskip.sqf"}; }; case 4: { }; case 5: { if(not local player) then {_handle = [] execVM "scripts\timeskip.sqf"}; }; }; _thread = [] execVM "scripts\MainThread.sqf"; _events = [] execVM "scripts\EventsS.sqf"; myscript1 = [] execVM "scripts\makesu.sqf"; myscript2 = [] execVM "scripts\makesuB.sqf"; myscript3 = [] execVM "scripts\makeka.sqf"; myscript4 = [] execVM "scripts\makeka.sqf"; _inc = [] execVM "scripts\reinforce.sqf"; //_para = [] execVM "scripts\makepara.sqf"; _sin = [] execVM "scripts\sinitS.sqf"; if (debug) then {_servs = [] execVM "scripts\debug.sqf"}; { if (_x isKindOf "OfficerE") then { _pobj = [_x] execVM "scripts\objoff.sqf"; } } forEach list alleast;

Think again... It took more than 3 months after it was released in europe. I really hope they dont go the same route. I agree with there being an international version and international release. I dont want to buy it off some euro website.... I was a disc copy of this game.

hmm, I found said folder, but I open up the folder of the map I liked.. and that folder is empty, even with hidden files showing on my PC..

So I played in an Evolution 4.0 unlocked server last night, which is far different from the version i have. That is, I have the version thats advertised as 3.0 when I downloaded it but when I host the server it says its V2... So yeah Im a little confused on that as well. Anyways, what i am really look for is where can I find this 4.0 evolution? I googled it and all I found were websites that tracked the status of the servers. And one website i found it advertising it, but when I downloaded it and unziped it, it was still V2. So in conclusion to what I am writing about, is can anyone direct me to a true Evolution V4 download that is confirmed V4?

Anyone know where I can reserve it already? Its less than a month away. Come oooon I want to reserve it already. Especially if it goes on steam... So I can pre-download it and play it at midnight already!

So for the longest time I had the Combat Operations version of the game out of the box. Played through the story as a Journal Entry as one of the soldiers who was involved. Obviouslly a very pro-America story. I end up buying it online from a UK retailer with the gold edition... and all of a sudden the story was different this time around... Armed Assault It was the same campaign told with video sequences in between with a news reporter. Making the U.S. Military seem questionable and involves a genocide in the end. I cant believe the story is really so modified for difference regions.

who is worst, the troll, or the ones who keep feeding the troll.
