As the name implies you only need it if you are the server and you have switched on key-checking for addons.

Hi

I have played around with Arma2 a bit now. It really looks promising

. I had some good firefights, and the amount of stuff you can do with the game + editor is amazing! First run of the "trial by fire" mission had some memorable moments. I was in 3d person view to admire the look of everything, when I got wounded. After crawling into cover I next hear some steps and the barrel of a RPK enters view from behind... very loud death! Never saw the guy, only the long barrel with tripods firing from point blank. I guess he came around the corner...

I like it so much I'm thinking of upgrading my graphics card. The Nvidia 8800GTS 640 Mb is doing quite well, but I really want to run this game in even more visual glory. (Also I have a snag with the latest drivers when it comes to Steel Beast Pro, the driver that work there is not very good in Arma 2). So going for a new card is going to solve that as well.

Anyone in loop with graphic cards that can recommend something that goes with a rig like this? core 2 dua e660 @ 3.20ghz, 4 gb ram (800mhz), creative XiFi-gamer, Seasonic S12 600w, windows 7 rc? Edit: I'm looking at gaming on a 22" monitor at 1680x1050.

Number one thing, apart from performance, is the noise level. I really don't want a vacuum cleaner going in the case as soon as gaming starts. The 8800 card has been very good in that respect, really silent. I was looking at the Radeon Hd 4890 or maybe even a Radeon HD 4870 x2. maybe they are bit over the top, as my system isn't fully up to date. Any input welcome.

cheers porphy

I would get the 4890. I know I am as soon as the Toxic edition is back in stock here. Its supposedly VERY silent.

My 4870 runs it quite well, but the 512MB is a bit lacking in 1900x1200, and I also want a little bit more horse power.

I was patrolling through a town and got hit. I fell to the ground started yelling for a corpsman and slipped in and out of consciousness. A corpsman ran up to me and rendered first aid.

That was something I wasn't expecting from the game. I really liked the immersion that brought.

Task Force · 06-28-09, 02:06 PM

My corpsman is down right stupid... I yell MEDIC!!! he stands there like Duaaaaahhhhh.

porphy · 06-28-09, 02:14 PM

Thanks, that looks like a good advice Stabiz. I will get one of those when they turn up in shops again. Read a few reviews and they confirm it has very silent and efficient cooling.

Another ARMA2 story with a strange twist to the end... I was checking out how the ai soldiers behaved when under fire and how easy and when they can spot you. I had a patroling soldier coming down the road in dusk conditions.
Me as sniper hiding some distance away, but still quite close. Firing of a shot or two to see what happens. The ai runs for cover, going prone, scaning and fires of a few shots in my general direction. Still, he can't see me properly. Another shot when he looks in another direction,,, this one has him on the run, full sprint.
Hmm... he's heading for the open beach. Is that really a good idea?

Reaching lands end the soldier looks around for a few moments and then enters the water. Wtf!? And he is gone, not coming up again! Finally I go there to inspect the tradegy, and find him drowned on the bottom... Poor AI, got to have been really upset and desperate to do that. Wonder what kind of programing logic that made him end up at if: no options= then drown myself.

cheers porphy

I think he should say "Shut up, that is just a flesh wound, get up and move, soldier!"

Task Force · 06-28-09, 02:19 PM

well, after acouple of hits from a ak 47... I dont think im gonna be walking away... lol

porphy · 06-28-09, 02:21 PM

True... Perhaps he can't say to your face that he won't waste his first aid kit on a hopeless case...

Raptor1 · 06-28-09, 02:25 PM

Ah, what happened to the good old days when you, realistically, only had to walk on a medpack and would instantly get healed
