can someone point me in the direction to or inform me how co-op multiplayer works? Do you have to find a game on a server or can you just host one yourself with you and a friend?

Yeah I watched 1000's of vids on and it seems to happen to everyone at some extent. I read the whole (almost) ramdisk vs SSD thread and it looks like RAMdisk is the only way to completely eliminate it...but I've never seen anyone with it as severe as me. It's not severe I swear I only notice it when I'm running for minutes. I have the veiw distance set to 6km could that be it? I suppose I could just try it but I'm at work now:j:

Great game after all this time huh Fatty?!!;) Well thanks to the fellas here I've been up and running for a couple of months. I had to rma my graphics card but I'm back up and running good. I have a question I play the game on all high settings...yet it seems that foilage seems to grow right in front of me when I'm running...it obviously is not stopping me from playing this crack disguised as a game, but I just wanted to check with you guys to see if anything is wrong...this is my first build and I think I got it right. Intel i7-950 Core 3.06Ghz ASUS P6X58D 6GB OCZ Tri-Channel DDR3 Memory 80GB Intel X25 Internal SSD<----Windows and Arma 2 are stored here 1TB 7200 Barracuda HDD Kingwin LZ850 850watt Power Color HD5970 Creative Blaster X-Fi Titanium Sound Card everything is stock

I point to the chopper and press the space bar to tell everyone to get in Then I go to the map and press 0 the 8 I think it says something like transport active...then click on the map; it will say drop off and you'll be off

yeah there are some real wack jobs out there that would down play this game just to to make others acceptable. I'll tell ya..there was this stupid guy on the gamefaqs boards who proceeded to tell us that operation flashpoint was better than arma 2...he would say things like the AI driving was worse... I hoped in the back of the humvee and enjoyed the scenary as the AI drove me halfway across the map no problems...something that was impossible on the debacle called OPDR I finally get arma 2 and the game is 10x'x better than I had imagined it. I mean if you look at the OFP box...you would think that Arma 2 was the game you were getting... I don't know what drives these fanny boys:j:

Thank you Tell me about it, there is a severe demand and a measly supply. The manufacturers are shipping 5 units per week. I just scored one, and they said that they had 150 and were down to 2 by noon. I thought about 2x 5870's but I'm thinking future proof here, I assume that Arma 3 will need 2x 5970's though. or probably 3 with the all new Tri-fire gpu config we haven't heard about yet lol I've looked at many benchmarks and we're talking no more than 5 fps difference. I can live with that given the potential

I'm having trouble scoring the an HD 5970 Graphics adapter, anybody know of in any reputable online shops? As of right now I have them all on notifying me but I've already got swindled by a company that took my money and then put the thing on back order. I had to wrestle my cash back from them...while missing out on other opportunities. Appreciate the help guys I'm on my way...slowly

thanks I was forward thinking with the 5970...I figured when the pricing drops I'll crossfire that. Plus they say it's severely underclocked (750Mhz), and it's capable of 1000Mhz/15000Mhz... Overclocking sounds like something I will have to do, but right now I just want to get off the ground with this thing. right now the hardest part I'm dealing with is scoring ANY HD 5970... I found a store in canada but they don't ship to America:j:

Thanks for the advice, but I'm not overclocking anything for a while. I was hoping I can get a decent framerate on very high settings with this. The Dxd8so comes with optimizing software to do some lite overclocking I guess. I'm brand spanking noob to this, slow and easy she goes

I can't type so in the heat of the action I'd rather be looking at the screen rather than finding the "R" button. I'm pretty sure it takes some getting used to, I'll give the M& KB a try but it's good to know the controller is there.

HAHA laugh at the new guy, all I have been doing is researching. So I know I've got it right Alright I've settled on this configuration I7-950 3.06Ghz Intel DX58SO 6Gb DDR3 Tri Channel Memory Sapphire HD 5970 2Gb GPU Soundblaster X-fi Titanium Soundcard 850W Kingwin PSU 1 TB Barracuda HDD 24x LG DVD/double layer RW

hey gang, after more reseach I found that Arma 2 has/had a problem with rigs that have over 2gb RAM. Is this true, false? Was it and they fixed it or is it a still a problem... Asking because I have 6GB tri-channel thanks

Okay I'm trying to make a decision on graphic card I was initially going to get a ATI 5870 then I saw they have just released the 5970 BUT I just saw a 5970 arma 2 video on youtube that says basically arma 2 does not support xfire http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6lXzfa990M I researched and found that a lot of last summer threads were talking about the same thing THEN I figured I would just get the 5870, and if I wasn't satified I would just get another one... BUT I just saw another youtube video with 2x 5870's and the fps was like 29...WTF Have they patched this or is it just not worth it...let me know because it's a $300 difference. Thanks in advance

Well Arma 2 is the only game for miles around that comes even romotely close to what I want. With the announcement of invisibility cloaking in the new ghost recon...that was the last straw with console gaming for me..so may as well bite the bullet. Question: Is 7200 RPMs fast enough to stream this 8Gb of of Chernarus? If not what is Thank You

Hey guys, I was looking at purchasing this in hopes that I can run Arma II in high settings. I would appreciate knowing if this will be possible and/or I need to change or upgrade some things. Dell Studio XPS 9000: Intel® Core™ i7-960 processor(8MB L3 Cache, 3.2GHz) Windows® 7 Professional, 64bit, 12GB Tri-Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz - 6 DIMMs 1TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5 Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio

I hope this game does eventually make it to console... Adult shooters have all gone extinct The semi success of OFP:DR even though it was half done, should show the market that there is a desperate group of gamers that want more mature titles. I don't know how we had more last generation that we do this generation. Before this generation Ghost recon and rainbow six were the most dominant titles...staying on lives' top ten for years..then we cross over to this gen and Ubisofts top concern is raving rabbids for the wii..while up to 3 years pass before they even consider revamping their money makers Not saying GR & RB6 are genuine military simulations, but it was the closest thing. OFP:DR basically advertised Arma 2, they couldn't deliver it. They lied & cheated their way to selling that title...but people still bought it because the genre is all but extinct... So imagine if we get the real thing?
