Cheers. Nice and simple, then.

I'm not so bothered by the new forces, to be honest, but it looks like there is at least one new map. Hope it's a big one.

A guy thats in the squad I'm associated with has developed and released this mornin' an application for the iPad that allows the user to keep track of squads and fire teams and the disposition of each fire team as well as it's members much more easily

How the app works

Where to get it http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/reape...532633790?mt=8

Thanks

If I remember correctly, the new maps are to have rivers, which mean that they will probably have bridges, something that was missing from the earlier maps and which will add a new strategic aspect to the game. For example, if a bridge is destroyed, vehicles cannot cross, unless they are amphibious.

I've got the game up and running again and downloaded some user made maps: The Fallujah one, the Clafghan one and another which is supposed to be coastal Takistan, I think. All three are very nice. The Fallujah one is especially nice - the scale of the city is unbelievable. It's like GTA or something! I'd love to use the in-game modules to populate it with civilians and traffic, but I think I'd need to have a computer that uses synthetic neural nets to provide enough processing power.

I have the Fallujah map too, and it is amazing! From what I can gather, it's a 1/1 scale representation of the actual city of Fallujah, in Iraq. The street layouts are accurate, based on satellite maps. Perfect for recreating the Second Battle of Fallujah. I tell you, MOUT ops in this game is terrifying. That's what I love about this game, you can have anything you want in it. Science fiction? Aliens? Medieval? It's there!

I feel your pain. The game is very CPU-heavy. I've got a GTX 680, but 6GB of DDR2 RAM and an ancient Intel Core2Duo LGA 775 CPU, so the game runs poorly. Luckily, I'm going to upgrade to a Intel Core i7 2700K LGA 1155 with 8GB of DDR3 RAM by year's end, so I should be able to play the game in it's full glory. Need I mention, the game looks absolutely stunning on full graphics settings, but terrible on mid-to-low.

Anyone playing this, and by playing I mean Arma and not DayZ...?

Herr-Berbunch · 07-17-12, 03:07 AM

Why would anyone not be playing DayZ?

It's still buggy as hell but still draws you in, proper release will be great.

TBH I'm not a big fan of running around collecting stuff and avoiding z's and other players. Its OK if you are in a group and can support one another, but I prefer co-op to deathmatch stuff anyway.

Exactly. If I wanted a Zombie game I'd go out and buy one. I bought the "premier infantry tactical shooter" because I figured when I played online I'd find players with an actual mind for tactics and the like. This has not been the case.

Seems BIS quietly snuck out another DLC: Army of the Czech Republic

Bloodbunny · 08-11-12, 08:14 AM

Day Z is fun for a while, but ACE mod is 10x better, and combined with ACRE the game is pretty much a perfect combat sim

Fincuan · 08-17-12, 06:31 AM

BIS snuck out patch 1.62 a few weeks ago and I missed the whole thing!

* Overall stability was improved with numerous tweaks and fixes
* Added new video options (Post-Process Anti-Aliasing, Alpha To Coverage)

Another small piece of news:

I always read the word optimizations as lag.

Dowly · 08-17-12, 03:05 PM

With all the optimizations, the game should run on NES by now.
