It will take you a week. Its a steep learning curve. Stick it out though.

What game type and servers are ye guys playing on? I'm not finding ones as good as I was the other day

indough · 11-07-2009 9:09pm

oh yeah, i mean setting up an online game like, im already playing through the sp and liking it (although buggy and HARD), also is it hard on the esources or what? its kinda jumpy on the i7 (920) machine im running, although thats with an 8800gtx which is quite old i suppose, gonna upgrade that this week though hopefully

Dunno, nearly ever server plays Evo or Domination which i sorta detest. Much prefer custom maps.

Again we should really have a Boards coop game some time soon.

Some great missions on here http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=75852

Evo and dom are brillisnt if you happen to land on the server just as its starting, joining mid game is a bit crap.

Was just on DTK server, decent server good teamplay on it but lagged out when it hit 25 players

handier if we all picked a server and joined it

Ya, we need to do something. I'm struggling to find an enjoyable game, We'd need to be able to contact each other and advise on what server etc. Xfire doesn't allow You to follow friends for this game, it doesn't get all the server info, but it does allow chat and voice which we'd need, can anyone thats interested install it and add me, I'll be up for having a few hours at it from 4'oclock on tomorrow. We'd need our own server in the long term, but we can try find an empty dedicated one tomorrow and can post the ip here tomorrow when a few have joined

Sample User, we were mates for years.

oddly i think you suggested Xfire in 2004 on the BF forum :eek:

Stev_o · 12-07-2009 2:40pm

Anyone up for a mission later?

Stev_o · 12-07-2009 3:20pm

Grand let's see if we can get some others to have a go around 4 ish.Hopefully someone can host which would be ideal.

dreamers75 · 12-07-2009 4:05pm

Anyone about ?

there be killing to be done.

PogMoThoin · 12-07-2009 4:07pm

I've setup a public Xfire chatroom, "boardsie arma 2", we can decide what to do then

Stev_o · 12-07-2009 4:27pm

Why Xfire?

Steam anyone?

Venom · 12-07-2009 7:51pm

Im well impressed with how the engine runs but single player is a waste of time with all the bugs. Its fun being able to doss around in the world but trying to do the misisons = script borked in so many different ways.

Multiplayer seems ok but I have to admit I havent a clue how to spot enemy players. In choppers there is a green bar up the top showing both sides but nada in soldier hud, Is there some option Im missing for a radar or something?

Ya, its a mission with great potential for 6 players, You gotta stick together. Had a good go at it earlier with Teamspeak but it needs more players.......So we need 6 players for next time

PogMoThoin · 13-07-2009 6:43pm

Anyone up for trying this mission again later? We need 6 players with teamspeak

Add me on xfire and I can give You info, we'll be usin teamspeak also. You're number 5 of a 6 man team, one place left for whoevers interested. We've agreed to kick off at ~8.30

BattlingCheese · 13-07-2009 8:16pm

would love to but not got the time today

Have a good one though and post back your experience

PogMoThoin · 14-07-2009 12:08am

Ok, an update for You

We tried a few times and in the end gave up on this mission. dreamers75 managed to get to the endpoint but couldn't complete the mission, another bug, the end didn't trigger. After this 3 of us had a few goes at this mission which runs well and has no bugs (not that we've seen), but is impossibly hard. You get shot to bits by the AI even though You can't see them. Might have another go tomorrow eve.

Sierra Oscar · 14-07-2009 12:22am

Im up for a game of this over the coming days. Would have to be evenings though.
