    This looks amazing! Testing now ;)

    OK so I moved the addons, I just wanted to use the addon in existing missions for now so i also used the XEH auto launcher addon. However it says extended event handlers is required, I've looked high and low for this and only found the file online for the original Arma..

    *EDIT* Figured it out, I needed CBA (Community Based Addons) turned on. I didn't see this mentioned anywhere, which made the process alot longer.

    Hi W0lle, I've just played your mission it was a great one. Had a good pace to it. I've had the game a week and a half, but on the mission I had a gut feeling I was always going to get shot from any direction so I kept in good formation and stuck to cover. Got a nice amount of kills racked up :)

    The only thing I can say that is hardly a negative is when the humvee drives off at first and you are waiting for it to change cut scene, it's a little longer than expected as you can tell it's waiting for the humvee to get to a certain destination. No biggie though and great mission.

    I'll have to search for any more you may have done, unless you care to point me in the right direction? ;)

    I've never played the original Mount & Blade but I have infact tried Warband, it just asn't fun for me. I knew the basics blocks and basic attacks and that was it, I played for about ten minutes and I know you should give games longer but I was really bored after ten minutes haha.

    I've just recentely purchased this game. I think I bought it about a week ago. I've already put 30 hours into it! lol. Now, this number will soon go up. But I mean the second I was dropped into ARMA 2, I accepted that this is going to be hard. I don't even get frustrated when I die, because this game really is alot harder than your run of the mill FPS. ALOT harder.

    But don't you find it good that there's so much to learn? And already after playing for a short time, I've got loads better. I've begun to control my AI squad nicely, yes there's still things I need to touch up on and the AI control is probably the only real frustration for me, but I'm getting there.

    As far as the vehicles go, I found if I use the mouse to drive the vehicles, you can drive them real nice once you get used to it. I was using the keyboard before and I was driving like a drunk! At first for me, it felt like the mouse wasn't sensitive enough to drive the vehicle as it is to aim your weapon, but it seems to be very good once you give it a go. Give it five minutes and go nice and steady with it and you can already begin to do some nice driving.

    As far the graphics and immersion go, amazing. There's times where I laugh and think, man this is the real deal as far as immersion goes. I think the graphics are top notch also.

    All the missions, mods and everything make the whole community really great too. I've sat here for god knows how many hours reading about the stuff and choosing which ones I want and what not. My collection is building and building!

    What triggered it for me about how good this game was, was when I downloaded a user made mission to test one out, and I was controlling my squad to take an airfield, and we got into a massive firefight. It took me 40 minutes to finally get onto that airfield because of the resistance, but I remember after thinking. That was crazy! I get bored out of my head playing MW2 for 40 minutes now, I mean, imagine slowly moving towards a point in MW2 for 40 minutes! You'd fall asleep at your desk. But this game is completely different.

    I'm telling you I could go on and on. I'm going to use the Armoury later and play around with that! I've got some new mods to test out (sound mods and stuff) and missions to practice and try to complete. I've also got the editor to mess around in, I had a brief look, it looks endless. Where do I start? There's just so much to do :)

    If you ever want some co-op with a fellow beginner, hit me a PM. You or I can host a server and we can select some nice and simple missions that we can try and complete.

    Hi,

    I've just installed the latest beta build released today. But I like to be able to talk to friends using steam with the overlay, and I'm currently able to do that while at the same time using mods in the existing 1.5 release (because I remember there was a post were Dwarden listed an applaunch code) but now I'm not 100% sure about how I would go about linking my steam to the beta build?

    I know I can simply run it from the .../Arm2/beta/ folder but that wouldn't allow me to have the steam overlay.

    TIA.

    Thanks zipper! As I understand, Evolution is like an RPG style mode in which you progress ranks based on how many kills you get? I Presume Domination is based on control of certain locations for points and I did hear that Berzerk is similar style to BF2 as far as the way it works goes. But what about Devastation? Haha, it sounds cool for sure! I think some nice firefights would be good, both close quarters and long range :)

    My games 88% downloaded on Steam now, so not too long until I get a blast!
