Mr burns u rock!!!

Hi, I am wondering if anyone came across any information or knows if there will be an WW2 Eastern Front Mod for ArmA 2? I know some WW2 Mod Teams are out there but they are mainly focusing only on Western Front ( I44 for Example ) ,I know Vila's had some models and weaponary based on Eastern Front. I tried the Liberation War Mod for OFP and i am surprised by the shear amount of units,armor and aircraft there is. Now i know there will be some WW2 Mods being worked on for ArmA2 but my main concern is the fact they will be more focused on the Western front / D-Day scenario. However i am deciding on whether to start learning and maybe creating a mod for the Eastern Front myself, but the problem is i am a newbie in making models/reskins, or whatever it is with ArmA/ArmA 2 modding. Maybe if can get the right direction on where to start, or some advice and information about creating mods, i could learn and then maybe start working on such a mod. One of my friends from NZARMA says it took him a year to fully understand how to skin and model. I am really new to this sort of thing, but i myself would like to see an Eastern Front WW2 mod for ArmA 2, but from what it looks like i didn't see any for ArmA 1 exactly, and i don't think there probably will be on for ArmA 2 either, i know there were a few for OFP but the mod developer team for liberation war mod for example hasn't been active i suppose. Any Suggestions? Opinions? Advice?

Ive seen a video somewhere on youtube showing a dismemberment/ limb displacement mod, AC-130 and Dismemberment mod or something. I know there is one out there still in WIP but does anyone have any news about it or any other displacement limb mod out there ? I know slx has one but it doesnt cut it and i didnt really like the displacement on it? Anyone know any ones made out there or if theres any news lately if someone is going to release one soon? Ive tried searching everywhere and couldnt find any related link :S

Im wondering if its possible to use a joystick for flying and such? i found my very old saitek x6-31 lying around which i havent used for about 8-9 years lol, its still working and in awesome condition and im trying to get it to work. Drivers are installed :), its connected to my external c-media sound card which has a game/midi port for it. Has anyone tried?

i reckon it could be better, imho i really don't like the cover..

just upgraded to a HiS ATi Radeon 4850 512MB PCI-E/ AM3 AMD Phenom II 1055T @ [3.9ghz]/ ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/ Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600mhz CL9/ Thermaltake Silent Purepower 560W/ Seagate SATA II 1TB/ Antec Twelve Hundred Case From a AMD AM2 6000+ 3.3ghz Dual core,AM2 Gigabyte Mobo and 4GB DDR2 800mhz ram. use to get 20-25 fps average, now get 40-55's :) Oh and get an AMD :P

if anyone wants to have a game add me! russianguy192 :)

Yea but i am an amd + ati fanboy :P I'm going to OC this baby when i get it tomorrow, to about 3.6-4ghz I can run the actual game on very high with my 4850 so i am happy here, and i am pretty sure my CPU is my bottleneck, so i should see a more better experience in cities and all? I get pretty decent FPS with my current system but when i have a very large battle with plenty of AI my system lags. So ArmA 2 does not use extra 2 cores? What about in intensive large scale battles, say 200+ AI?

I haven't played ArmA 2 in a couple months as i have lost interest but i intend to get back into it after i build my new system. I'm going to go pick up some new PC parts i ordered tomorrow. How much performance difference would i see if i went from an: AMD Athlon AM2 6000+ Windsor x2 3.3ghz 4GB Patroit DDR2 800Mhz Gigabyte GA-M56S-S3 Motherboard HIS ATi Radeon 4850 512MB PCI-E Thermaltake Silent Purepower 560W 1TB Seagate SATA II HDD iCute Super18-5G1-BB Windows 7 64Bit to a: AM3 AMD Phenom II 1055T x6 OCed to 3.6-4ghz ASUS M4A89GTD Pro AM3 DDR3 ATI 890GX PCI-E 4GB Kingston DDR3 1600 CL9 RAM HIS ATi Radeon 4850 512MB PCI-E Thermaltake Silent Purepower 560W 1TB Seagate SATA II HDD Antec Twelve Hundred Gaming Case Windows 7 64Bit Anyone got a 1055T tested on ArmA2? Does the game benefit from extra 2 cores? I get 25-35 fps average, sometimes reaches as high as 55fps.. and i play everything on max at 1024x768 Res and AA Off and Shadows on Low. Would i see a performance increase?

Yesterday my Windows 7 64Bit for some odd reason corrupted on me, so i formatted the partition which it was located in and decided to Install XP SP3 32 Pro Edition to see the difference id have on ArmA 2, however after my installation of the OS i am having a problem with Updating ArmA 2, i am getting an error as soon as i try to apply any patch 1.02,1.03 or 1.04 from my ArmA 2 Installation. Saying my air.pbo is corrupt or something, can not patch please redownload the file. However now im getting the error saying my drive is full but i have plently of space on my hard drive... however ive done a few reinstalls and tried running in different compability modes, ive check the disc and its fine as it successfuly installs the game and ive had no issues with it. Its been happening ever since i installed Windows XP Pro SP3? Any Solutions?

I would like to make a suggestion, i always need the disc to run ArmA 2, now ive noticed when ive looked at the back of my disc ive been getting a few scratches and some heavy looking ones, but disc works well as i only got it 2 days ago. Now ArmA 1 had a patch release which would allow it to run without a disc. I prefer to run without a disc because it does'nt damage it and i don't need to always insert it to play the game which i find a hassle. However i don't know its possible BIS will take this route because of piracy. But i am wondering if it is possible in the later patches? i like to take good care of things i buy and i notice having discs in our drives causes them to get scratched and damaged, and alot more people prefer not needing the disc to run the game. Is this going to be possible?

17 :) turning 18 next year

Good Progress so far Crash! Keep up the good work!

so bayonets will be usable? that would be awesome to see :), i know that the finn's used molotov cocktails against T-26's ? are they going to be part of this mod? By the way i am a Russian myself and i know alot about the winter war. I honor both sides of the fallen men and men who fought during the war.Seeing such a mod being created based on this scenario is exciting. However i haven't gone through every post on this thread and i am curious , i don't want to sound rude, but will the mod portray both sides evenly, so its not being biased? Like portraying russian's in the mod as bad? Anyhow will trenches be added as an object? i know the finn's built vast amount of trenches with tank barriers along the mannerheim line.

I know some of you may dislike the WW2 aspect and yes it has been overdone, but seeing the eastern front scenario in ArmA 2 for me would be amazing, with alot of vehicles, weaponary, units would be sweet. I am a WW2 Fanatic, i love reading books,watching movies and playing games involving the WW2 scenario. But anyhow its something i would be interested in, but then if i directed to another conflict i would probably have less interest in it. Hmm..

i can speak russian but my voice is a bit hoarse :/

about 500,000 people die a year from regular seasonal flu.., im not gonna be worried if i get swine flu.. ill recover!

I am very excited for this mod! :) , do you have a possible release date for the mod? and will you have any decisions on porting it over to ArmA 2 in the future? Many Thanks

Yes and it just shows how a complete moron you are :). I was'nt angry i was defending my opinion :) Well i agree with you on keeping Putin, anyhow you coming with the wrong assumptions, i was not stating Chechens in general as Terrorists, i was stating that the Chechen Terrorists themselves were causing it. Heard of Moscow Siege? Beslan School Shooting? those were committed by the Chechen Rebels/Terrorists. Soviet Intervention in Afghanistan was a proxy war, we fought against a group of army of rebels who didn't support the pro communist afghanistan government, we did lose, the vietnam war was a proxy war so was the korean war, There was no such thing as terrorists back there. American's did the same thing in Vietnam and Korea. And also as you were saying, yes i am patriotic :), there is nothing wrong with being patroitic is there? what about the american republicians over iraq and afghanistan? what about the finns who are so patriotic about the winter war. If you hate me being patroitic so be it, i bet if i was saying something bad about your country or your ethnicity/nationality which was'nt true you would feel offended. I suppose you are a hypocrite? No? ---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ---------- You can always easily tell the difference between violent video games and the real world and media. Ive seen a couple of gruesome videos and pictures and i very much regret seeing them and watching them, it pretty much scarred me for life :/. Curiosity hits you and you ponder. Ive seen pictures and videos of real beheading's and i assure you that was very horrible and chilling. Upon watching one of the chechclear videos i was horrified how the victim begged for mercy and how he suffered,it made me angry and depressed, for me its very hard to believe such reality happens and that 1/1,000,000,000 experience such a thing in the world and to understand the psycological aspect of how some people enjoy committing these acts or can commit them without having any affects on them. I know when playing violent videos games i don't notice anything, but seeing the real violence it scares me.. , i think that the soldiers who experience this in real life get scarred for life, they can never forget the horrible reality they experienced and saw. Violent Videos/Images can show you this over the internet and you get scarred. I really would urge everyone to not watch or look up the images of such things..im still getting these pictures in my head and its hard not to forget.

i really find the MK 28 for example very accurate when prone, should'nt there be some sort of recoil?

i find the bad thing in maps like evolution and domination, and some other coop maps is i die more often and i see less firefights. So about 1/8 of the time i spend fighting , 1/2 the time is spent travelling forth and back and the rest is spent dying. wheres the fun in that? and those maps get easily repetitive. So thats why i prefer pvp maps or just playing good coop with a bunch of guys on TS who are using teamwork. ---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ---------- Alot of people including me have the patience to wait for a chopper, but if i go through the scenario of dying as soon as you land over and over or chopper crashing or blowing up and then you have to fly again over and over or travel on foot over and over, you kinda get sick of it and get annoyed cause thats all you practically do, i find domination and evolution maps very repetitive so i stay away with them cause thats how most of my experiences are with them

whats does FLIR do if i mind asking?

Id have to say both, i love most of the Russian Weaponary ingame,the apc's and the tanks, even though im Russian im not trying to be biased, however i think the USMC ingame has some overpower in their tanks and for some reason i find the USMC Aircraft much more enjoyable to fly compared to the Russian equivalents. M1A2 and M1A1 is nice but i don't really like the exterior design lol, so i go with T-90. For Weapons, if its a standard issue rifle i have to choose, i go with the M16 or M4 than the AK47 as it find it more accurate and easier to have control when aiming and feel as if its powerful as the AK, while with the AK i find it having more recoil and the ironsight's not as good. Sniper Rifles i have to say SVD is my top favorite, however the USMC has the DMR ,M24 and the M107 that i also enjoy sharpshooting with. Anti Tank Weapons, the RPG wins overall for me as the M136 just feels useless ingame. The MG i pick would be the PK i find it more smooth and not as bulky as the USMC SAW. APC's , well this is a hard one, id say i like both of Russia's and USMC's APC's as much as each other. AA weapons, both USMC and Russia's AA weapons are equal for me. Now the Standard Issue Military vehicle i would have to go with is the Humvee hands down, it has 4-5 seater and can be fitted with MG,AT etc while the UAZ is more compact it can have 3-4 seater and i also don't really like the design. However id have to pick Russia overall even though the USMC armory has somewhat better choices for me too. Need to say no more?

Ahh, my apologies, i was mistaken. However i did try the FDF Mod back in ArmA 1, and loved it. What kind of selection of weaponary, armory are we talking about in the FDF mod? is it going to be similar to the FDF mod in ArmA 1, port over ? or is it going to be more improved?

i am curious but when you complete your Finland at War Mod, Will you be porting it over to ArmA 2 by any chance? as i am a fan of your mods, i've always loved your guys work as its fantastic, however im very excited for the Finland at War Mod and just wondering if you will be planning to port it over to ArmA2 by any chance one finished?
