    I’m playing a loon game at the moment with _____________ and some others. MY exploded truck still has the XDC logo on the doors and everyone can see it. Kudos.

    Should I (we) take off the =XDC= we put in ourselves? Now it’s going to show twice, right?

    So what I need from you is this:
    your player ID (found when you creat a player and go to edit its in the bottom right)
    Your player name (as it appears ingame)
    email addy (optional)
    icq (optional)
    A comment (also optional)

    Paste this url where it asks for squad url:

    http://www.jonnyspencer.co.uk/xdcsquad/squad.xml

    This is all VERY cool but I haven’t got a clue how to follow the instructions. I’ve never seen this ‘create player’ thing you’re on about! When I run the game, it just cals me by my XP login name.

    That’s some channel! 8)

    Just got kicked off an hilarious server. 46 noobs running around in the dark on a map whcih includes continuous spawning trucks about 100ft in the air. Underneath is like a truck bonfire. I had to search for a working truck and then hope I could manoeuvre it out.

    First time, I was just driving for half an hour and repaired a tank before some git tked me and my truck. I got -1 there for a good round. Maybe I ran someone over? You respawn without night vision… Trucks fallingout the sky, a guy shooting down a fully loaded chopper… democratically kicked.

    I even shot an enemy who was using a human shield. I thot the civilian was an officer and aimed for him, killing the soldier behind him, then realised he was a civ and that was like cool or something. And then i died.

    Haven’t worked out a way to set my game name yet.

    That was beautiful! Wish I could share these things with my dad but he gets chills down his spine just with ricochet noises. This one would give him seriously bestial fear and a fucking massive kill hard-on.

    lol did i just write that? 😈

    One of the things that happens to me when I play…

    When you have two enemy lining up shots on you at the same time, you know you have to do something decisive. I always crouch and pump a gabillion rounds into their nuts in manic panic. Gotta laugh at the bloodstains. 8)

    Max, have you noticed there’s medics in some missions? You’re prolly not qualified tho?

    Got 17 kills in a tank Thursday night without using the guns. That was fun.

    You know there’s a really fucking cool feeling about this game. You might circle a town full of enemy, dump the truck in a gully and then just chill fora bit whilst you get the binocs out and work out some tactics. I remember going ahead of the squad and reaching the wall of the first building and just waiting – keeping an eye out along the roofline and down the road occasionally, just chillin in the sun. Helped the AT guy get his range on a tank, spotted some targets for the sniper. When they were ready, they came over to my position and we did the town over, sector by sector. I again had brought extra ammo for the AT guy, which he was glad for. All the while you can hear gunfights and even random shooting occurring streets away. It’s very immersive.

    In BF, if you see a bad guy, one of you is dead within the next 20 seconds. In this game, you might be stalking or avoiding the same bloke for 20 minutes, and man when you hold your breath (bind that key!) for the perfect headshot and he just drops like someones just pulled their plug inthe Matrix, that just rocks.

    They call OFP and this game a ‘soldier sim’ to differentiate it from others. Wish I knew about it earlier.

    whoa! 3 pages since my last visit.

    U can copy settings from demo to full game. The folders are in your documents folder. A couple of controls glitched in the crossover but very minor to re-bind them compared to doing the whole lot again.

    I got paid yesterday and accidentally ordered a new gfx card (don’t tell the gf). Like n0m’s: a Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB DDR3 AGP. I went pikey on the postage so it’s prolly gonna take the most agonising week of my life to arrive.

    My first ATI card. Hope it’s ok. With that, I plan to brick up the door and play ArmA till the cows come home.

    You have to use suppressed ammo with a silencer, ie the ‘SD’ variety. See if that changes things. SP AI is uber tough, too. The first night mission just fucks me up every time.

    I wouldn’t complain if their vision was impaired somehow, anyhow. Also, they’re unaffected by HDR. It’ll come with a bit of luck. The ambitions of this game are big, after all.

    I just bought PC Format which has a review (88%; OFP got 79% back in the day) and an A2 sized map of the Sahrani islands

    Nice one, Insane 🙂

    All together now: –

    “Another one bought the game
    Another one bought the game
    And another one gone
    Another one gone
    Another one bought the game”

    I’m mostly enjoying MP co-op.
    Once kicked ass on a deathmatch cap the flag thing.

    So far I haven’t had time to do much more. There are team games like the co-op but without the AI and the huge Capture the Island mode which chugs on my PC. Cap the Island really needs organised, large teams to play: ideal for a 1/2-day clan match! lol

    Found a setting yesterday which improved load times e.g. screen switching to and from the map; it’s a start-up parameter ‘-maxmem=1500’ where 1500 is the RAM I want the game to use. That will hopefully sort me out. I’ll check it out before training, this evening.

    Ciao

    Good man!

    My fps ain’t bad. I’m happy with 1024×768, most stuff on normal with some antialiasing and there’s HDR lighting in the game.#

    More fps than I get on BF2142 and the whole thing is a lot more satisfying to look at, even if the graphics aren’t as ‘cool’.

    Was playing a custom mission earlier which had lightning. First time I’d seen that

    I’ll regret it forever if I don’t get a game in before the whole clan moves over to ArmA 😛 😆

    If you’re gonna have a match, I’ll step up.

    Going to need to be gently led through Ventrillo (sp.?) setup…

    Starting install now…
