For Norway the biggest gaming-centric website I know of is Gamer.no: http://www.gamer.no

Wrong forum. You have posted in the Arma 1 forums not the Arma 3 forums. Ask there. :)

They don't look black to me. They look more like generic clean shaven white soldiers with a strange tan more than anything else. They seem to use the same faces as the NATO soldiers as well, I guess the Iranian faces aren't done yet or something. Alpha is alpha :)

Try out the new shiny 3D editor that will hopefully be in Arma 3. :D Then try the campaign...

I use Microsoft Security Essentials as it doesn't annoy the crap out of me. No update or "You haven't scanned in a while!" pop ups all the time.

You can't build mammoth tanks in Tiberian Sun - The Mammoth Mark 2 has a build limit of 1. Disruptor is the name of the "Sonic Tanks". You mean Generals 1 not C&C1. There were no Chinese on the original Command & Conquer (It was a GDI vs Nod game).

Tiberium Sun? What game is that? I've only heard of Tiberian Sun. :P The Nod artillery eventually patched so the only thing left to deform terrain was "super weapons". Orca Bomber, Disruptor, Cyborg Reaper, Devil's Tongue, Banshee, Hover MLRS and Titan could all be spammed to win... Generals 2 looks interesting, hopefully it will be moddable as the original Generals has a ton of awesome mods (Contra, Cold War Crisis, Shockwave, Middle East Crisis)

This applies only to the United States as far as I know. Since I live in Norway and use a custom ROM (Cyanogenmod ftw) I have no worries.

They install directly from the discs and have no connection to Steam.

Got it working now, It's a pretty fun game, but I wish they used Steam instead of Origin. (Or better: no DRM at all...sweet dreams...)

From my experience Battlefield 3 is an excellent "Could not activate your game" simulator! :D Ahh the wonders of DRM...

So..will Arma X be in Norwegian stores soon? :3 I'd love having a box with all BIS games nicely tucked together :D

Nuclear Strike got some pretty nice helicopter themes. PC main menu 1VrCnkdjIbo Playstation main menu sklRwDJiMNE

Best RPG I have played in a very long time. If anyone is interested I got all my The Witcher 2 gameplay and a lot of random other games like C&C and Arma 2 on my justin.tv channel :) This game deservers all praise it can get!

PC: 1. Command & Conquer (1995) 2. Command & Conquer: Red Alert (1996) 3. StarCraft (1998) 4. Half Life (1997) 5. Age of Empires II: The Conquerors (2000) Fun thing is that I still play these games from time to time. They work 100% in Win7 64-bit, Dune 2 needs DOSBox though :) Console: 1. Oddworld: Abe's Oddysse (1997) (Playstation) 2. Halo: Combat Evolved (2001) (Xbox) 3. Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction (2005) (Xbox) 4. Metal Arms: Glitch in the System (2003) (Xbox) 5. Super Mario Brothers (1985) (NES)

NodUnit, this Apache is beautiful! Do you have any plans for making a Nod version? :D Grey camouflage with C&C1 Nod logos? :)

Then I'm the opposite of you, I love flying missions and hate warfare. I think OA was a huge surprise, it was much better than I expected it to be. And if BIS only see dollar signs in front of their eye's they would only release one patch for OA and start on another game...sort of like what Codemasters did with "Operation Exploit-name: More Cash Edition". BIS release patches every week...they let people beta test their patches before the final patch is released. I can't see how OA is disappointing with: FLIR, IR lasers, UN, US Army, CZ, TA, TM, ULB etc. There is a lot more to Arma than the campaign for example the mission editor which is extremely easy to use. The editor has been there since Operation Flashpoint, even in 2003 I understood the editor in OFP being only 10 years old with limited understanding of English! This tells alot about the editor in OFP1/Arma... Play the Arma 2 campaign and then the OA campaign...the same? I think not...

When playing as the Czech some units including myself speak English while others speak Czech. Is this intentional? And where are the German voices? I'm using OA 1.52 Build 71900 (beta) and Arma 2 1.07 if it matters.

In Norway you can now buy boxed Operation Arrowhead from CDON.no Gamezone.no And maybe Absoluttspill.no soon too! (I Emailed them) :)

So many older people here. :O I'm 16, I first played Operation Flashpoint in 2002, when I was 9 and loved it; I still do together with Dune 2, Command & Conquer 1, StarCraft and Red Alert. :D I'm happy that Arma stayed the way OFP is, the same can't be said for the C&C series which became just stupid. :(

Arma 2 has it's flaws but it is an awesome game as long as it works! What is great about Arma 2: -Intelligent AI: The AI takes cover behind buildings, cover each others backs (and yours) -huge maps -animals (lol) -Dynamic game: a mission never happens the same way. -Great mission editor. -easy installation of addons -many different weapons. -many different vehicles. -lots of game modes. -Operation Flashpoint feel. -Helicopters handles very well. -Landing auto pilot automatically lands your plane on closest air field. -Patches are released "often" Arma 2's flaws. -Many computers have problems running it. -Postprocess effects makes the game confusing. -Lag (My computer runs it fine at 40 FPS, but sometimes the game clogs up and I get 1 FPS) -Some planes handles awfully. (like the Joint Strike Fighter) -Sound shuttering -Many sounds are the same. -Many weapons have bad sounds (A-10's cannon doesn't sound right...as does many other things) -Operation Flashpoint like animations. -Some weapons doesn't feel right, like the pistols. -You can blow up tanks with MGs. -Radio voices sounds odd, even the OFP ones sounded better. -Crashes -Rendering issues -lag -lag -lag Arma 2 has many flaws but as always, Bohemia Interactive will fix most if not all of them! We just have to be patient and wait, no game is released bug free and none will ever do, especially games as big as Arma 2. If people start expecting that huge and open games like Arma 2 should be released "bug free" then they don't have much sense. Even World of Warcraft was bug ridden when it was first released. (like all MMORPG's) I know it is kinda stupid to compare a MMORPG to a......uhmm "FPS-RTS-RPG-Simulator"? Like Arma 2 however the game is huge and open and no one can deny that. If you don't like waiting for patches I recommend that you go buy a "normal" first/third person shooter like GTA, Call of Duty, Half Life, Mercenaries etc. or maybe an RTS? StarCraft, Command & Conquer, Company of Heroes, Supreme Commander... Good work BI! Keep those patches coming! I know this game will show it's greatness for everyone soon! I have played it a lot since I first got it and I don't seem to get tired of it despite the bugs...just like what happened when I got Operation Flashpoint! :) P.S I hope this is the right place to post this. :P

Half a game? Worthless? I'm sure you like me spent hours and hours of time in the Operation Flashpoint mission editor...and that you had a blast, even OFP had a really nice editor. I didn't get Arma 1 though, I didn't like the "middle eastern" theme of it, but maybe this is why I was so surprised by Arma 2? Well, I hope BIS will release a new patch soon..the lag can get a bit annoying....

The Titanic and Arma 2 cannot be compared....Arma 2 will be tweaked and fixed just like Operation Flashpoint and Arma 1 while the Titanic is still at the depths of the ocean. ;)

That doesn't sound like the AI in my game, this sounds more like the OFP AI....when I play I see them running from cover to cover, unless I order them to do otherwise....just put the behavior to danger.... About the OFP AI, I got a little annoyed getting killed by "sniper officers" which saw me though almost anything...this was fixed eventually in a patch tho...this have not happened to be once in Arma 2 :)

Well, I was playing Arma2 walking around, and it started lagging then I heard someone say "f'cking lag". Has anyone experienced this? If I one of my soldiers did say it then it is a funny easter egg. :D
