Is there a fooking Medic in this game?
I been crawling on my stomach for past half an hour and no one will aid meh … 🙁
How I lolled when I read that before going to bed last night.
Patch news will come from http://www.armedassault.com.
For some excellent custom MP missions (maps :P), checkout:-
6thSense.eu game server
{GG} or (GG) – Grenadier Guards…@Max: AYE

ParticipantThe best thing to do if you get shot in the leg is heal yourself. Course, you have to make sure you’re a medic first but no-one is going to help you out. Told Jo that when she plays MP she should mark targets so the squad leader can assign them. that one backfired cos she tells me that the other night she was actually told to “STFU” because marking targets was “annoying”. I was gonna jump on a server for half an hour after we’d done a few co-ops last night but that put me off and I couldn’t be arsed.
Played Jade Empire instead – looks promising I’ve got to say, but it’s an 8 GIG install! Never known owt like it – took at least half an hour to install as well. Mental. Came in a flash box though.

ParticipantJade Empire and BattleTwat can get their own threads 😈 grrrr
Don’t be too harsh, SOIA. One time, I was afk a while on the phone. By the time I came back, the first obj had been cleared and everyone was 2km up the road havin’ a tank fight.
The only vehicle was a jeep with two tyres shot out… I decided to join the fray on foot. Hadn’t gone 200m before I came across Line lying there towards the edge of the road quietly watching me. His legs were shot out and there was a puppy-dog look in his eyes. I laughed and ran on.
Actually, after calling ahead and confirming/requesting that the medical tent be left intact, I fetched the dodgy jeep and let Line have fun with the flat tyres and driving me to the next town and to medical assistance. To seem him bounding around like his old self brought tears to my eye, I can tell you.

Participanttbh iam not a great fan of coop (way to many fuckwits)……but some team/hold games with xdc types would be a laugh 😀

ParticipantDamnit! I wish I had the money to upgrade my PC. I’ve been looking forward to this game for ages (well since I first played OFP back in 2002), but I want to do it justice by playing it on a decent rig.
I’m an anti aliasing slut, so I don’t want to play it on my 6600 256mb.
March 2, 2007 at 11:23 am #45848Mr.Fenix
ParticipantI’m playing without AA on a 6600GT 256MB and it’s not bad at all, really. I keep wondering why I felt the need to fork out for a new video card (it’s in Sheffield sat in a van and should be here by 8pm)
I’ve enjoyed coop but do look forward to some immense intense clan play 8).

ParticipantYeah, it wasn’t so much that to be honest Fenix – I do find the all the naffing about with the AI modes and having to connect/re-connect from the lobby just to respawn a bit of a downer on it all as well.
Though I am trying to rescue this bird from MMORPG land so she doesn’t end up wearing beer bottle glasses, pullovers and talking incomprehensible shite about being a level whatever numpty everytime I see her and the bell-ends on these FPS games aren’t helping my efforts it has to be said.

It’s an addon that’s crying out to be written, to standardise the spawning. It’s bizarre, for sure… Superstitions arise… I have a lvl40 amulet that usually lets me respawn. 8)
Re the patch, I’m watching:-

Participantout now 😀

ParticipantSo which version do we need?
March 2, 2007 at 3:09 pm #45855Mr.Fenix
ParticipantIf you’ve got the UK (French, Italian, Spanish etc) release, go for the Euro version.
The Euro version readme says: –
ORIGINAL VERSION OF ARMA:ARMED ASSAULT 1.04
IMPORTANT: IF YOU HAVE ANY PREVIOUS VERSION OF ARMA (1.0, 1.01 OR 1.02), THIS UPDATE WILL NOT WORK AND YOU NEED TO USE INTERNATIONAL UPDATE 1.05
Here’s the good news in the readme. Everything that’s crap gets a fix:-
*******************
**1.05 Highlights**
*******************====Gameplay====
* grass is now simulated for AI and multiplayer (including largerd view distances)
* STOVL support
* improved 3D irong sights
* improved satchel simulation (including detection of player and AI usage)====Campaign====
* various improvements and bug fixes across all campaign missions====UI====
* overall polish and streamline of menus
* new modern GPS device enabled for some vehicles and situations
* satellite texture can be displayed in the main map====Controls====
* improved stability of helicopters (jaw now does not affect bank)
* extended support for keyboard shortcuts (you can toggle by holding any key and press second key together)====AI====
* general AI tweak and improvements
* more realistic AI target detection====Multiplayer====
* improved MP browser
* improved voice over net (you can hear enemy talking, direct channel is enabled)====Compatibility====
* all versions possible to upgrade to 1.05 level
* English subtitles enabled for Czech and German versionsMarch 2, 2007 at 3:11 pm #45856Beer_Monster
Participanti’d guess international, but i can’t get any of the mirrors to work
the euro one say’s it’s for the version released by 505 games, which, at least, mine isn’t.
March 2, 2007 at 3:13 pm #45857Mr.Fenix
