All added to the main list. Sexy time, Griff

Just been checking the OFP2 forums and they have a similar post up as this. Gives a refreshing perspective from a similar but all the same different community. Not trying to take sides, but at the moment Codemasters is appearing to be more gracefull than BIS in regards to this issue. I have seen no retalliations from CM yet and think that they wouldn't do so by a press releases, as these are supposed to be used to showcase change/news in the company or product, not to discuss issues with competators or company disputes. Which is a bloody shame, because I think over time this will have the opposite PR impact as was obviously originally intended. Ultimatley fingers are burning or soon will be. Link to the OFP2 forum thread is below: http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=337577 Griff

I do see where your coming from. I think in essance what I am trying to say as its not the done thing, not just in games development and publishing, but any buisness. It just looks quite poor when you openly challange a competator. On prices and location of distribution that's different, thats competative sales. But on a legal matter, its extremely rare that things like this are openly brought up to a fan base, or ultimatley potential/future customers of a product. I just feel it may have been something better resolved quietly in court and not on the BIS forums. Even though its something that has clearly been demonstrated a weak legal case. Sometimes a community can have a little too much transparency about what happens behind closed doors. Anyway I'll be quiet now as when I start to use words like transparency its time to turn off the management speak and get on to co-opage. Griff

In my view I have to agree that some of the techniques used by CM are below par. I would be a bit peeved if I was in the CEO's position. So I can see and agree why they would want to interject. Infact I agree they certainly should. However I disagree with making a big public statement out of it. I hate it when companies, feel they have to hash out their arguments like some big publicity statement. I am certain that this has been done to draw attention, but from some of the comments I have seen on 3rd party sites and my own personal oppinion. Not many people actually care about the name. It truly is the game! Maybe there are aspects to this I am just not seeing. But at the moment my view is that it looks childish to publicly release a statement that BIS are taking action against Codemasters, as it results in a 'he said she said situation,' just more polite and with better wording from both parties. My view would be - sort it out like adults/professional companies, out in the car park,I mean office, not infront of the online gaming communities. As if you fight fire in public, you could get burned, with several thousand if not more people watching. PS - I know I am a low poster, so apologies if my post is gash, I'm more of a forum stalker, await my opportunity and pounce. ;-)

Hi mate, If you have not used XFire before I suggest you check this out http://www.xfire.com/cms/xf_tour/. Simply the easiest way of getting into games is to add everyone else to your Xfire from the list on the front page of this forum thread. Then just click on their name to start a conversation and off you go! There is also an ArmA Community page located here http://www.xfire.com/clans/armedassault/, which has a mini forum on it that is good for organising games. Also when you add people it will say if they are playing ArmA, if you click on their name and look at the right panel you will see the servers IP they are on. You can then go into game and join that IP! So the possibilities are endless. Added you to the first post. Many Thanks, Griff

Thanks guys, Added you to the main post! Griff
