Arrgh, I must rid myself of these...humanity attacks...

I better not regret it, or random people are going to get lined up on the wall and shot for no reason

Now this is strange, bought it from Metaboli, I got the mail with the download links but not the cd-key...

EDITSKI: Ah, I have it now

EDIT 2: Bah, now I can't activate it...

Dowly · 06-03-09, 06:00 AM

Hmm... that's weird.. MrChris reported the same problem. He was able to apply the CD key when he started to install it, but he also couldnt activate it when trying to run the game.

Maybe the Securom server is down, maybe they just didn't add the key to the database

Ah, well, I sent them an email, hopefully they can read English

Dowly · 06-03-09, 06:09 AM

Yeh, might be an issue with the servers. Reading thru the different forums, it seems that most got it from Metabolic, so it might be due to the high number of ppl. Then again, I dont remember seeing any threads about not being able to activate the game.

Anyway, keep us posted on what they say.

Just tried the artillery thingie on the editor and holy poo!

20 MLRS' firing for 1 minute continuosly is pretttty darn deadly (both to the enemies and my PC).

Fincuan · 06-03-09, 10:08 AM

IRL too. Rocket arty is really something you'd only use against CPs, big troop concentrations and other high value targets. When accuracy doesn't matter but desctrution does

Raptor1 · 06-03-09, 10:19 AM

Good, they sent me a mail saying it's valid and now it works

Dowly · 06-03-09, 10:19 AM

Does the capital city count as high value target? Because I kinda leveled the whole thing.

Right, now to have a try with the max amount of arty I can get.

Hi guys

I'm interested to get Arma 2 when it's released in English version. I played OFP a lot, and have Arma as well, but I never really got into that. I wonder how my machine will handle Arma 2 though? At the moment I run this hardware:

Core 2 duo 6600 @ 3.18 ghz
4gb ram (800 mhz)
Nvidia 8800 GTS 640 MB at stock speed (first gen 8-series)
Creative X-Fi Gamer
1 640mb raid setup
1 Tb storage Hdd
Windows 7 beta (build 7000)

Any input welcome

cheers Porphy

Raptor1 · 06-03-09, 01:41 PM

Can't see why it shouldn't work

My comp runs it fine on max graphics (That's completely maxed), though I didn't try anything deep in the campaign

Intel C2D 8400 @ 3.00GHz
Radeon HD 4870 1 GB
4 GB Ram

porphy · 06-03-09, 02:01 PM

Thanks, that's good to know. fhtagn!

Dowly · 06-03-09, 05:46 PM

Haha, my campaign is going reeeaaallly nicely (still on the Manhattan ops). First of all, why the gas stations cant be marked on the map like in ArmA? My Humvee is running low on gas.

Secondly, why are we fighting and helping the chernorussian ppl in the first place? I just met few of their soldiers that had set-up and ro******* and went to talk to them, did they give any real info? NO! They made fun of me and my team! "Oooh, they are special forces! RAMBO!!" Fracking arses. And lastly, why the enemy has to be such an tit? There I was, happily minding my own business, trying to find some guy to get intel from when all of a sudden there's this group of insurgents that open up on me, while being busy wasting them, 4 UAZs and crapload of infantry emerge from the woods on the other side of the town! So, now I was surrounded and stranded on this little farm thingy. I sent my marksman to the center of the town to man the .50cal on the Humvee and what does he do? Get hit! You stupid little arse!

Right, so, I pulled my men back to the cover of the farmhouse and had mortars fire an barrage to a field just NE of us, where the remnants of the first enemy group were still picking up a fight. Oh poo, how I am to get that wounded guy to cover and treat him before he dies (member of your team dies = game over)?? Ah! Smoke grenades! So, I popped up a smoke screen and run for the guy, picked him up and started to carry him back to the farmhouse. "Haha, I'm going to make it! WOOT!!!" and KA-FRICKING-BOOM!! Grenade falls right next to me killing me and the wounded tit instantly.
