Colt45_GTO

haha i love it. i could sit and watch these dance vids endlessly

still love to know how they do that lol

i owned but one computer with an intel cpu, the rest i built myself with AMD cpu's and Nvidia graphics cards. i have never had 1 ounce of trouble with AMD they have always done what they said on the box and always a fair few quid cheaper too.

let me answer your question! i too am a BF/COD/AA gamer. excuse me mods while i clarify something... my better half asked me what game i wanted for my b'day, i said ofp:dr so she bought me that, things didn't look good on the forum for the game, i was pointed in this direction by an A2 player, i downloaded the A2 demo on sunday gone. i simply can't turn it off. yes you only get two missions and limited bits to it but hell. we went today and swapped the game she bought me for this one. CoD is a nadefest just as BF is for statpadding. this is a tactical sim in FPS and all ballistics are correct, all injuries are near as damit. if you take a hit to the leg your on your belly to the nearest outpost unless you have a medic on your team? controls are nothing like cod or bf so you will have a huge learning curve with this. oh and just like bf all vehicles are driveable/flyable etc. get the demo but be aware its not perfect play it for a few days and buy the game (i'm sure you will) i know i - well my better half did ;)

from what i have seen on these forums, there is a real sense of love for the game and BIS, THAT isn't something another game maker can boast. purely because BIS seemingly work with its community they strive to make things work rather than simply line their own pockets. Yes the latter is important but even from being on these forums and only being able to play the demo, i see BIS as an oldschool company where its customers are formost. How many gaming companies can boast this? i bet it isn't many. keep up the great work guys you are doing us and your selves proud ;)

yes Thanks BIS, i got my CD today can't install till my b'day though....its a pressy from my better half. i could have gone for anything but the demo sucked me in so hard i needed the full version. WTG guys keep up the good work :D

this isn't my vid but it makes me smile every time i see it and wonder how its done? ps. the vid may have already been posted sorry if it has.

i never thought i would see the day where i get gripped by a demo. yes it could do with an update but if the demo gets you this way, the game will lose all your social activities. i simply can't turn it off... roll on the 22nd when i install the full game and patch. all i will say is wow BIS what a game!

haha true story

anyway guys i downloaded this twice from the UE3 site and both times its a corrupt file.

i extracted to the ArmA2Demo folder in programs then just go in there and scrole down till you see the setup.exe ;)

since i have downloaded the demo i have become hooked. sometimes i like a fast paced game but my liking lives about 10 mins then i get bored of nade spam. i have been playing the sp campains in the demo just to try get used to the controls (which is slowly becoming easier) but all i can say so far is..... excellent!! and i'm only on the demo! it kind of reminds me of deer hunter series. i mean the free roam and weapon use. ---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ---------- i'm a gamer meaning i can enjoy a wide veriety of games as long as they are FPS. heck i don't care as long as i get some enjoyment. i have set myself for swapping a certain game for this one, at the same time i will be getting MW2 purely because i do like the game even with is flaws. i came from BF2 to play the demo of this. i also have cod4 installed and many other games. but i feel i'll play this one more.

i have the GTX 260 not really much to write home about except that if you emptied the contents you could use the case as a sandwich box. now i'm getting around 27fps could be the draw distance? might have to play with that. but system specs are AMD dual core 4200 2.2mhz i think? 2 gig ram GTX 260 ASUS M2N-SLi Delux MB the demo runs kinda ok but at times it feels like trying to run through a lake of custard.

switching page file sys off didnt work.

this is just a thought but i have been reading up on page file system in windows and some say switch it off. i'll go try that theory now.

how do you come out of the silly free look so you can move direction again?

cheers guys , was doing boot camp and the parachute drop, went into free look and couldn't come out of it lol

well once i master the controls i'm set, its deffo my kinda game :D

I have been looking for a new FPS/sim to occupy my mind and boredom. i'm a BF2 player and ex COD4 player, it just seems that DICE can't get the game right. i have tried asking nicely for them to fix the hitbox's and up the power on unlocks but every patch the hitbox's get worse, the unlocked weapons are pita. so my fiencee got me OFP2 for my b'day which comes round on the 22nd. i signed upto that forum to get info and feedback from the players of the game and its not good at all! i'm in the process of d/l the beta of arma2, infact the 2nd d/l today. i lost connection with the first and it corrupted the file. hopefully this one will be good. i'll be taking said OFP2 back to game to swap it for ArmA2 at game where OFP2 came from. so i'm looking for some good gameplay etc with this, i know its been well recommended!.

yes thanks i just found it in tech. d/l the dx file now.

ahh fter another 2 hours d/l its installed but wont load. ArmA 2 Demo.exe - unable to find component this application has failed to start becuase X3DAudio1_6.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.? is there any trusted sites that have an uncorrupt version? that was from gamershell

ah no i was mistaken. i thought i seen demo patch in one string somewhere on a d/l site. no there is no patch.

there is a v1.02 patch for the demo. is that the most upto date? i'm thinking it is or there would be another.

yay 16 mins left for d/l to finish. then the patch . which patch do i need for this btw? yes and sorry about my OP i did mean Demo.

Hey Thanks for the replies guys. Now this is what i'm talking about! I come on here and straight away there isn't one bad word spoken of the game. and i HATE to run and gun! BF2 is a nade fest. CODMW is also a nade fest. i like to get involved along with the next man but even if that means as a sniper, i'm doing my bit! some gamers can not grasp that snipers lay low hide and take out long distance shots. but this is when i'm in chill mode. i also like to be on the front line in the thick of it but not spawning on a freshly dropped nade (gets annoying). i used to play AA back in 2002-2004 i think it was a month after it came out? anyway thats the sort of game i'm looking for. i know i aint played it yet but i'm hoping that this is a good cross between that and BF?
