Recta DP

Yes, a (print-ready) .pdf version would be great...

Great guide! Where can I buy the print version?

Hi! I want to use Arma2-Free, to convince my friends of this game. Can anyone recommend good polished and realistic coop missions? Duration: 2-3 hours Type: Coop (2-4 players) Islands: exclusively Utes (preferred because more fps!) and Chernarus. Time: day (I dont like the graphics at night, my friends should see the brilliant daytime graphics of Arma) Respawn: "Group" or “Side†– respawn to an AI on the player’s side (or group). If there are no AI left, the mission is over. (Teamswitch should be enabled). The best I've found so far was "Behind Enemy Lines" by laggy. Very good and realistic, but: (1) too long (2) chaotic (3) too hectic. Are there polished and realistic coop missions? "Cipher" too much depends on chance, since the locations are chosen randomly. I would like some missions with carefully selected locations and details and not much randomness. Dream Mission: Small Task Force (2-6 units), helicopter insertion, time for recon and planning, attack on cities / bases or convoys (artillery or air support would be great). Finally helicopter extraction. (For example a longer version of the official sp-mission: "trial by fire") Thank you!

Will printed maps (for example the Chernarus map) be included in Arma X?

Are you sure? At the moment the default setting ist: GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1000; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=2; I have already disabled vsync. There is still mouse lag... ---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ---------- Wow, thank you Leon86! Your settings (GPU_MaxFramesAhead=0; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=0) made it. The controls are very direct now. How does this affect image quality? Are there any other superb tweaks like this?

I have 60 FPS (average), ARMA 2 runs totaly smooth, but the controls are very laggy ingame (mouse lag). Is it possible to make the controls more "direct"? Thank you!

I've heard that the game will benefit greatly from SSDs. Is it sufficient if only Arma 2 is installed on the SSD, or is it necessary to install the operating system and the game on the SSD? Thank you.

Hello! I am looking for atmospheric and polished coop missions (2-4 players) working with ARMA: Cold War Assault (V. 1.99). Since viewing distance is set by the mp mission maker and can not be changed (easily) afterwards, it would be great if the missions had high viewing distance. BTW: Are there any missions where 1 or 2 players can play close air support units (transport/attack) while the others lead small ground units (infantry)? Thanks!

I plan to buy the following hardware. Will it be possible to play Arma 2 on high settings: CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K, 4x 3.40GHz or Intel Core i5-2500K, 4x 3.30GHz GPU: Palit GeForce GTX 580, 1.5GB GDDR5 RAM: 8 GB (2x4GB) HDD: Samsung SpinPoint F3 1000GB, SATA II (HD103SJ) or SSD ? Thanks!

That would be great!

It would be great if OFP would be available on steam! I know a lot of people who would buy it immediately.

Since I am from Austria and grew up in the Alps, I love mountainous terrain. It is also far more tactically challenging than simple flat terrain. Are there any (user made) OFP "islands" with large mountainous terrain (ridges, slopes, cliffs, alpine meadows, barren plateaus, mountain forests, large attack distances, etc.)? Kolgujev is a nice start, but it should be more mountainous... Thank you! Two videos to substantiate what type of terrain I mean: kV1zpJrOijg dnTpK2cTTZ0

I am building a system for Arma II. What GPU would you recommend me? [1] Radeon HD 5870 (http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a465649.html) or [2] GeForce GTX 470 (http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a557580.html) [1] and [2] have the same price.

Wow, that would be great! Did I understand correctly: It will (maybe) be possible to use the new features of AO in Arma II "vanilla" (even in the campaign)? Like: Zeroing Weapons FLIR etc.

Hello! I have been following Arma 2 for quite a while now, but have never played it. The reason is that I am a “working adultâ€. I have (a) very little time to play computer games and (b) problems finding the right hardware to play Arma 2. Together the various possibilities to build a PC are almost slaying. The only advantage of this situation is that the high price of descent hardware isn't a problem for me. The reason for my post: Due to the fact that the expansion OA will be released soon, I finally decided that it is time now to buy a PC that allows me to play Arma 2 and OA in high quality. May I ask you some questions: 1.) The game was released just about a year ago and wasn't optimized in the beginning. Is it optimized now? 2.) I have read some of the very long and detailed discussions about hardware and Arma 2. The result, however, was more confusion than clarity. Has there been reached any consensus regarding the best hardware for Arma 2 (ATI or NVIDIA; best CPU, Hard Drive, etc.). 3.) I don't have time and competence to build a PC on my own and therefore want to buy – if it is reasonable – a pre-build PC. The only purpose is to play Arma 2 and maybe other simulations (like the DCS Series) Thank you for your advises!

The main problem is not where/how to buy Arma2: OA but where/how to buy a PC that is able to run it decently ;) Therefore my question is: What are the ideal components for an "Arma2(OA)-PC"?

Will this PC run Arma 2 smooth in high details? CPU: Intel Core i7-920, 4x 2.67GHz Mainboard: ASUS P6T, X58 RAM: Corsair XMS3 DIMM Kit 3GB PC3-10667U CL9-9-9-24 (DDR3-1333) GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 X2, 2x 1024MB GDDR5, 2x DVI, TV-out, PCIe 2.0 HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB, 32MB Cache, SATA II Thank you!

Little new preview (german) and some new pictures: http://www.krawall.de/web/ArmA_2_Operation_Arrowhead/preview/id,54221/ http://www.krawall.de/web/ArmA_2_Operation_Arrowhead/gallery/

I still don`t like 2 important things regarding the eotech: (1.) On one hand everything in ArmA 2 glows (even cows ;) ), on the other hand things that should glow don`t, for example the eotech reticle (and muzzle flashes). (2.) The reticle should be "projected", it works like a head up display. At the moment it looks like if it is carved into the glass plate.

Thanks! Heat textures for animals :) :http://images.eurogamer.net/assets/articles//a/1/0/7/6/1/2/9/arma2arrow01.bmp.jpg Happy hunting!

Small question: Are the mountains in the background reachable or just a background texture? http://www.armaholic.com/pfs.php?m=view&v=3-arma2_op_arrow_04.jpg

sorry repost

No expectations but a "simple" wish regarding future simulations: Bohemia Interactive should team up with Eagle Dynamics. - Bohemia Interactive: Infantry and Ground Vehicles - Eagle Dynamics: Aircraft (Fixed Wing and Rotary Wing) Imagine being able to support "ArmA infantry" using the DCS Ka-50 simulator. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1FYIVMn9zs This is what my dreams are made of. :D
