sweet!!! thanks Maddog!!! I LOVE YOU MAN!!!! Would you be kind to tell if I have to create a BI Store account to purchase the alpha? I have steam but don't want to go there. Also, would buying alpha (34 USD) give me access to the full game on release? Mucho gracias!!! EDIT: looks like ARMA III is from steam.

my steam is commandosolo2010. If I buy from BI store, do I have to download alpha from steam? Please reply urgently. I'm itching like an addict here!!!

OK, here are my system specs: Windows 7 Basic 64 bit CPU AMD FX8150 Bulldozer black edition RAM 8 GB GPU nVidia GTX650 Gigabyte HDD 1 TB LAN Will I run it on max or what settings? I also have trackIR4 pro, CH products fighterstick USB, pro throttle USB, pro rudder USB. Is it true the alpha is 20 Gigs of download? Urgent to response knowing I want to participate in Alpha testing.

Is this intel solid for older versions? using version 1.60. He is the last thing remaining and its very infuriating that I cannot locate him. Main camp I schwhacked with UAV (which got toast btw) and the rest with chopper after killing Maddox for whistling dixxie. Oh, and Shaftoe dies in Manhattan due to un-natural causes....

OK.. OK.... About the bus stops and time travel, the manual states I can use bus stops to fast travel to a location, but is this applicable to campaign? Thanks a zillion!!

fair enough. Is 'show of force' implemented in Arma 2? I'm trying to understand how AI reacts to fire, and I notice they'll perform always the 'basic' drill, then either flank or head-on with near impunity. By show of force, I mean firing from a big gun like SAW, does it ward AI off an area for example? Reason I ask is assassination missions. I constantly find marks inside tents or in vehicles, and need to circle around just to get others away from me for a clean shot, yet since I'm early in armory, I play with M16/ Corpsman, and the sniper seems like the best alternative for specific engagement (under limits of course).

thanks beagle. I guess I'll go ahead and hardball Harvest Red then... EDIT: about the map tools, what can you tell me? I saw folks online drawing lines and such. Is it possible in single player?

beagle, thanks but I was talking like selectively removing the effect, keeping the blur. I'm playing DVD version of Arma 2. I have OA, but want to get basics with A2 first. the newer patches, do they address this issue?

It's just unbearable anymore. I have AMD FX8150, GTX650 2GB, and the following happens: 1- I go to Gorka, meet with Father Fyodor, don't take his cache. 2- I go to Novy Sobor, meet with Michael (the man) and get the main base location 3- I go to Khelm, my squad mates (AI) spot the detonation man, kill him, but Liv's house is not demolished. After all this I enter HMMW and proceed to main base, to find my screen having the film grain effect, and the experience is just ruined. How do I disable this thing. I want to keep post process, but cancel film grainness effect. Oh, also another bug, is the UAV thermal (N) bug. When I switch to BHOT and right click to exit, I get a negative film HUD and screen. Sometimes, UAV shows normal CMOS/CCD daylight colors and other times FLIR. Is this a bug? Last, map tools: I saw people drawing lines. What are the keyboard keys to put tools and lines and objects on map? Double clicking puts the X circle denoting position. A shift and click puts a donut. Anyone could tell use for donut? Thanks in advance

could you post a guide for a Kindergarten student.. :D like me :D

1- Hostage holdup animation 2- C-130 Skyhook pickup system or variant with script to execute towing in of the balloon and the hoist. 3- Silent Hunter 5 styled water effects on goggles, specially with Navy Divers. 4- Conducting underwater harpooning of enemy divers, maybe acquire their oxygen tanks, or masks.. (too much for the crew I know, bear with me). 5- underwater sunken vessels, maybe WW2 submarines, or merchant men (handelschiffe)

Hey friends, I wonder if it's possible to create CQB halls for training as an object. I want to create a multistory carpark, or a villa, or a hacienda, or a killhouse, something urban to practice CQB. I know Arma 2 is all about military, but CQB is also military (police predominantly but..). Is it possible to create an object out of scratch? What software should I use? what is the format to export? How to do it? I tried a makeshift 3D pileup, but wasnt satisfied, so I want to make a kosher (sorta speak) CQB hall for CQB training. I apologize if this is in the wrong section.

brilliant work that, I say. Could you post how you did it?

Thank you!

Dear friends, I have combined operations DVD, and I want to know if Arma 2 requires the previous patches to be all downloaded and applied in their order to the latest patch, or I can install the game and the latest patch only? Game--> Patch 1.51 --> 1.52--> .53-->.54-->.55 .........--> .59?-->Play (A) Game--> Patch 1.59 --> Play (B) A or B?
