aaaaand then you should compare the yearly revenues of respective companies... yeah.

you pull the trigger and the gun goes bang!

haha, especially 64 player. but theres just something so delicious about mortaring a chokepoint and killing 5-10 people....

QFT. I usually play wiht 2-3 friends and we hop into a squad together. Like you said about tanks, if we all get into tanks and have engineers to repair then we're pretty unstoppable... Ace squad more often than not. Youre right about the meatgrinder thing. 90% of the people dont try flanking, but if you manage to get a good position with a couple of squadmates, you can clean up and win very quickly. At the end of the day you get people playing rambo in any game, ArmA included. Play with people you know and itll be more fun. Or in the worst case you can rant to them about the rest of the team on voice chat ;D I guess you can either play the game for what it is and have a blast and enjoy it, or just sit around writing crap in forums because its not what you want it to be.... A couple of the maps are kinda crap though. My pet hate is the map with basejumping, on rush.

My point was that while there are obvious similarities in the "theme" of the two games - both have guns, vehicles and planes - the similarities dont go much further than that. One is a lot more accessible for quick blasts of fun, whereas the other has a lot more potential for nice long afternoons/evenings of milsim-esque enjoyment... Its not a "one or the other" choice, I dont see any reason why a lost BF3 customer would equal a new ArmA customer, or vice versa... Surely people can own and actively play more than one game at a time?

how is that "promotion" for arma3? because a DRM sucks it doesnt mean that people are going to buy/play ArmA3... especially when Battlefield and ArmA are not at all targetting the same market of gamers... In addition, its clearly some asshole forum who have decided to rape the ratings on amazon because they dont approve of Origin. not actual genuine reviews of the GAME...

Its fun. isnt that the important thing?

but thats clearly not his fault or problem, he can run other games whcih use (probably a) different version of the same engine and they start! :j:

well, i seem to be much better at killing with a Kar98 than a MKB. guess thats just me though...

isnt that "fixed" now?

um... cant think of a single "FPS" game that uses TCP... when a packet gets dropped in TCP, all packets received after that dropped one are placed into a queue, nothing else goes through till that dropped packed is received - TCP packets are guaranteed to arrive in order. So if it takes a second to detect, resend, and receive that dropped packet then no other information is coming to the client... clearly not acceptable as then when that information finally DOES come through , its at least a second out of date - is this not desynch? The only information we care about in FPS games is the current state of the game world, hence UDP wins. Please excuse any inaccuracies in my TCP knowledge. Its been quite a few years since uni :)

started playing the beta last night... right after the patch was released on steam.. lol. så after two hours of waiting for a server to emerge I finally managed to play. truely awesome gameplay from the hour i had... i hope itll prove to not be as buggy as people are claiming - personally I didnt have any issues after i acutally got into a server. atmosphere is great.

cool :) will check this out later

This may be a stupid question, but does anyone have an idea why my modline isnt working? ./server -config=server.cfg -port=2302 -cpucount=2 -mod=@hellskitchen for example edit: never mind, turns out it was working. :D

Id love to try this. unfortunately I cant downlaod it because it appears i need to amke an account on your site, and there is no way that i can find to create an account...

OK Steve Jobs, calm down. I dont think you can say someone is "doing something wrong" because they're not using certain addons. Unfortunately, the MP community is pretty fragmented....

does it not refer to magnetic north? just a guess as you said its used foten in conjunction with calls for airstrike or artillery..

Ubi never actually sent a cease and desist, it was just some troll who called one of the guys on the mod team pretending to be a lawyer from Ubi or something...

from what i understand, ivy bridge cpus will be able to be be dropped into p67 mobos edit: and h67 and z68 etc

the avg gamer isnt so computer smart these days. Im sure everyones noticed a downward trend in IQ over the last few years.

I lolled.. while drinking juice :(

there was an assload of optimization in the 1.07 patch..................................... run it.

bullets from every weapon on earth start being pulled towards the ground as soon as they leave the barrel.. its called gravity.

I think its a great way to deal with the problem of dividing the community between those who buy the DLC and those who dont. Everyone still gets to play together. And the same people who whined about the DLC splitting the community are still gonna be the same people who whine about those who didnt buy the DLC getting something for free. I.e. some people always fucking whine. But this is a good solution.
