Did I seriously just read someone who can't run Ace Combat being advised to get Arma II : CO? :eek: Word of warning Arma is probably the most resource heavy game I've ever played on PC. A few AI fighter pilots on both sides will burn the hamsters in your CPU alive. Unless you have a really powerful laptop. Which given that you can't run Ace Combat? I doubt. Arma's specs are a bare minimum. Those requirements may rise exponentially depending on what you try to get the game to simulate.
Awesome bloody game though. Strongly recommend everyone tries it.
It won't be to everyone's taste but it terms of Cooperate play only Swat IV and Ravenshield offer experiences as close. Find the right team/group of players and you'll be sucked into the game for months. There's probably nothing better than the experience playing a mission in Arma with only one life and relying on your buddies to communicate with you and cover areas that you can't possibly cover. Playing in a team of 8 or more functioning as one coherent unit is positively the most amazing gaming experience I had of the last decade.0 -

Man I stayed up till like 7 or 8 am trading cards with randomers ... I got a bargain though and gave a emotion for a CS: GO card ..
Hoping 1 or 2 cheap games with cards up in daily sale that I will buy next... I thought with steam you could trade games when your finished with them and give some code or something out... Is this right? No?..Or is it only disc based games..0 -

I only ask because 1 is going for €2 and 2 is €7.50 and I'm incredibly cheap. :pac:
It's like comparing an on-rails shooter from the mid-90's, to Planetside 2 from today. Get ETS2, definitely.

When I bought Company of Heroes, I got a new item alert. I thought it was a trading card, but its actually a gift copy of Half Life 2 {I think!, still getting used to Steam}
I have it already, but the tags of the gift are 'tradable, not marketable'. Is this something I can give away in the Group Thread?0 -

Arma 2 is playable on an i3 with Intel HD 3000 or higher, it's really not that resource intensive. Since the i series CPUs are a good deal faster than the Core 2 Duo's and more affordable. Ace Combat on the other hand is a half arsed port, it's actually much more CPU and GPU intensive as a result.

ArmA 2 Free is a thing.
Just multiplayer.
No HD Textures (Which, by looking at your rig won't be an issue
) 0 -

I voted for bully because I'd forgotten to vote. Saw you post and then realised I wanted more trading cards. 0 -
