Thank you very much Maruk and BIS team! You guys are truly doing marvelous work and still find time to do a beta patch while concurrently developing ARMA2. Well done BIS team.

I remember that demo mission. I also remember it was exceedingly hard, it became the first demo mission I never completed on any game.

I have gained a performance increase in the field on top of the fps I got from the 1.14 patch. BUT no significant increase in performance in cities or towns, those stay the same.

Version 1.12b is superior to 1.08, no question. The performance increases and fixes make Arma much more playable. For instance I have completed all the single missions in 1.12b when in version 1.08 I couldnt have bothered and just focused on multiplayer games instead. The only thing I dont like in 1.12b is the POV they need to bring it back to like what it was before. I am now going to complete the singleplayer campaign, but I think it best to wait on the full 1.12 or whatever patch before I do so. As for the recoil I find it much much better combined with the increased frame rates in 1.12b compared to 1.08. The game is much more better in my opinion and i cant wait for the full patch.

We know that when BIS is finished with a final patch it will be released. But how long will it take to be released?? This community is supportive of BIS with bug reporting with this forum and bug tracker to help them. Not to knock BIS or anything as I have great respect for these guys but the patch is taking too long.

Well if it was a real war the US forces would rip the SLA troops in the South to pieces as they would certainly attain air superiority within a day or two. Depending on where the US forces attack large formations of SLA troops would be cut off and bombed incessantly it would be a very nasty situation for the SLA units in South Sarhani. On the other hand if and when US armored and infantry units start to move North they will start to encounter stiff opposition from elite Sarhani units who have already fell back behind the border and communist peoples resistance guerillas who have been thorougly trained and highly motivated with Marxist Leninist ideals. Certain areas of Northern Sarhani will however yield to the US forces as those people there will be fed up of the communists, but other areas with strong communist organization will be a headache for the US as their supply lines get attacked on a regular basis. Still the US after a tough time in the North will defeat the resistance, as a matter of fact its the stiff resistance and brutality of the communist guerillas that makes the US send in reinforcements and support to sanitize Northern Sarhani of the Reds. To tell the truth even the highly motivated peoples communist guerrilla cells wouldnt have a chance, they wouldnt be getting support, they are cut off by a US Naval blockade, their "peoples courts" executing large numbers their fellow countrymen for helping the Americans and killing of US POWS wouldnt help them at all.. US wins.

Well I might test this patch but I dont like beta patches for video game software, so I doubt I will download till the full patch arrives next year. In saying that still good work from BIS. Some nice improvements there and I bet there will be more when the full patch is out. Merry Christmas BIS TEAM.

Thanks Junker for the reply. Well yesterday when I came back home from work lo and behold GameSpy Arcade started to work again showing up the main page and servers. I did not do anything to make this happen. I think my ISP was doing some crap and blocked off connection to GameSpy Arcade master server. I really doubt the problem was from my end. Right now I do not want this to happen again as I lost good game time playing coop and Berzerk with good people.

Ok I come back home from work eat dinner drink some cold fruit juice and start up Arma for some battles with the nasty AI of Evolution blue. I go to multiplayer to check my favorite servers and.... I see no servers. I suspected it could be GameSpy acting up, so I started GameSpy to whats wrong and found problem... It wouldnt load my profile, so I fixed that and it loaded my profile and another problem surfaced.. it would not load the GameSpy frontpage quickly and took like 15 mins to load the frontpage. I think something is really wrong here but I dont know what to do. GameSpy and Arma are open through my firewall. I have not changed any configurations with my ZoneAlarm firewall and checked if they were blocked somehow but they are not blocked. I really want to get back into Arma Coop, I played some BHD multiplayer during to weekend to get my fix in but everywhere was closet cheats doing their BS. Whats wrong here? GameSpy not loading properly and Arma not showing servers anymore. Please help.

Hmm Arma 2... I dont know what to say, I wish BiS fix issues in Arma before going full out on another game. I dont mind a Arma 2 just fix Arma while u are at it.

G36 standard rifle seems pretty accurate to me got some quick medium distance kills using it on BerZerk. Using the M16A4 Acogs requires too much adjusting under and over the crosshair in my opinion the bullets drop too early and drop either side too much time for my liking. M24 sniper rifle seems very nice to use and quite accurate no probs using it.

Ive heard rumours that high in the mountains wind affects the trajectory of bullets but I have never confirmed this.

Suppressive fire wont work as you would think in Arma and all you would be doing is be a big fat target for the aim bot AI who will home in on your gun fire like angry wasps from all angles. These AI dont flee like OFP AI when under suppressive fire, they pick up your gun sound and immediately start flanking and then by time you know it you are dead. Best way to deal with Arma AI is shoot with accuracy and move to another location before they find you.
