ARMA2

The gameplay looks awesome Im enjoying OA, just got to wait for arma 2 to finish downloading....

groovy insurgents

are we having a game tonight snipers..... get ya ass back

Guys how about ArmA 2 mission with acre today?

Ok, so what do I need to download for the game tonight? I've got ArmA2, OA and BAF installed, what else do I need?

Sure guys, lets have a game, just got back 20 mins ago, one of the BAF ones would probably be good

Being stupid here but... how do I install ACRE?

Drodders hop on teamspeak I'll tell ya mate

I'm assuming that most/all of you have it on steam? If you do, feel free to add me. You'll find me under 'Doctorrodders'

ok snip...need some help with acre and ace and stuff...did u just say u volunteer??
oh...and what patch do i need? i have 1.54;1.55;1.57 and 1.59.

Zer0 I see you use xfire, I am always on xfire when my PC is on, your'll need arrowhead patched to 1.59, here is a brilliant guide for installing the required addons, start at step #3
http://unitedoperations.net/arma2/guide/

ok, so here its what ive done:
installed arma 2 oa and patched up to 1.59
installed everything using addon sync 2009(all mods present in left window except keys)
installed ACRE in arma 2 root folder(same location where other mods are - defaul location)
installed TS3 and checked acre in ts3 plugin
using oa shortcut -mod=@CBA;@ACE;@ACEX;@ACEX_RU;@ACEX_USNavy;@JayArmA2Lib;@ACRE;@UOMods
" ARMA 2 OA HAS STOPPED WORKING"

am i missing something?

LE: managed to start the game using addon sync, but have no ideea on what server do I join :!: and i suspect here are a bunch of keys for that bloody radio
LE1: Sounds n00bish, but everytime i start game using addon sync it connects me to united operations.net_server 1 gameserver.
Any ideeas why i cannot start the game from shortcut?

Zero request nwa team speak password and ip and then i will explain you how to use radio and stuff like what =]

P.S. After ArmA 2 i'm to lazy go back in PR i know its awesome game but i don't know it's feel not realistic and more arcade then before

Not sure about the bendy neck.

Installed arma 2 and OA and tweaked registry... now I can say problem solved

Gotta love the ingame ACRE radio!
BTW nice game (I thought) last night!

Or did you guys find the CAS irritating?

so...what server are u guys playing on?

Zer0 either one of us tends to host a game, it actually isnt really laggy when hosted off a home PC, or we play on the united operations server, Your best off playing with us once to learn how stuff works, and then play on the united operations server, last night Xazper hosted 10 people off his PC, was pretty epic.

Cant we buy a server for arma II ?

Give us money

We will be keeping arma to set night where we can get togeather and have some organised eopi battles. Having a ArmA2 dedi server running 24/7 is getting away from our main clan game of PR. Plus if we bought it as a clan with donations from players who only play PR and dont have the PC or the game to run it then this would be unfair.

Members are free to play what ever game they like and use the TS but as a clan we pay and play PR first.

So with the news of UO changing to SixUpdater - http://unitedoperations.net/Thread-Using-Six-Updater-with-the-UnitedOperations-Repository

I decided to just do it and it's not a big deal. You have to convert UOMods to use six, takes about 30 seconds. Then a really small update, so I guess they are still using the same version of ACE as through YOMA.

So overall, not a big deal and we should all do it ASAP so we're up to date

How far would 700 pounds get me to buy a pc to play this game?

Very well. My PC plays ArmA2 on max settings flawlessly and cost me £730. From pcspecalist.com, custom built

Really depends what resolution and fps you wanna play at? But you could get something to play ArmA2 for 700

easy mate, have a look at overclocker.co.uk they do pre overclocked I5 systems running at 3.8ghz with full warranty.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-252-OK&groupid=43&catid=1444&subcat=

with a ATI 6870 £704. just need a copy of windows which I assume you already have.

If you phone them and say you dont need the HDD and DVD as you have one already that might nock enough off for a freshcopy of win7 64 bit.

I have

I7 @ 3.08 GHZ
6GB Ram
GeForce 580
1440x900 monitor

CPU is never above 50%
Ram is never above 30%
gfx card is at >90% (So want another one)
I play with viewdistance 4000-4500m, postprocessing normal, AA low, all else very high.
My FPS is at it's lowest >30 except when looking at a particle-heavy explosions (It'll drop to around 20 sometimes).

DRodders when you say "max" do you mean "mostly max" or "10km view, AA 8x, Post very high kinda max"? I don't want to call you a liar, but you sound like a liar. Especially when you mentioning "arma 2" "max" and "flawless" right after each other

Well, all the settings are set to max. Granted I havn't gone through all the settings to check, but i'm assuming it's all set up to max. It 'occasionally' drops to 30 FPS, but generally runs at 40-60 FPS.

I'm slightly offended that you've called me a liar

That is pretty good. What resolution you running at rodders?

Just converted Addon Sync to Six updater. Just updated it

http://unitedoperations.net/Thread-Using-Six-Updater-with-the-UnitedOperations-Repository

Updated to the new six updater, I suggest everyone else does the same too.

yo all ordered oa yestersday, prob wont get for a few days, but is there sum1 who can point me in the right direction as to what i need, and a helping hand to optomise so i can play wit yall. i know ill need to patch up to latest but unsure wot to get and where to get it cheers

Buying OA tomorrow =D

wooo! more peoples! now i just need to find some time to play. who's around this weekend?

Bollocks...well...done..i mean re-done.
Ive payed 30 quid last year for OA(at game world)...curious how much is it now

i payed 15 quid from amazon was gonna get the steam deal but i have a limited dl ,that and the fact that i get a disc for nearly the same price ,sry to be a burden lol

13 euros from steam in the holdiday sale

Same as greeny ^^ bought it from the steam sales.

Gonna catch you guys on that :p

Tomorrow I reinstall TS.

This seems to exciting, wish I could play a game like that, seems like it would literally take you a few months to master the most basic aspects of the game.

I'll see what I can do about my PC, but for the while, until December the VERY earliest, I'll be playing PR, which isn't bad.

If you all are gonna expand (even though there hasn't been a talk) I'll help out with the PR part of the clan

Has anyone seen this?

Could be cool to have our logo appearing on vehicles we are in

Playing PR helps a lot with the familiarisation. I couldn't imagine coming to ArmA straight from vanilla or BFBC!

Sweet! We so gotta do that.

hey all just got oa in the post jus a few questions, do i need to install both arma 2 and oa, can i patch straight to 1.59 or do i need an earlier patch first,wot mods do i need, cheers in advance for any replies

Can we have a ArmA2 sub-forum? It would make conversations much easier to find! Also, somebody mentioned a specific day for ArmA2, have you guys decided on a day?
