Oooo ooo, errr, PM? No! Steam....sweet

I can't find you on steam at all meta, not sure why. Could you search for me please. Same name as on here, cheers mate.

Bit of a misrepresentation there by kotaku, some most of those clearly aren't glitches but rather people messing with the editor and scripts or just switching between stances as quick as possible to look funny.

Request sent mate; I'll check back when I finish work tonight.

Just need yours then, Perm.

I'll be glad to. I'll be on with Rossi from 9ish tomorrow night if you're interested; hopefully pie could too.

I should be around later, do we have any missions to play or are you planning on jumping in on a random server? A small 4 man mission would probably be best because the mp performance seems a bit shaky atm.

Thanks for the key meta. It runs, just, but not at a level where it is really playable. From what I can make out it seems like a game that I really want to play but is going to have to wait a few months until I upgrade. Sorry to have somewhat wasted your lite key.

I thought that game we played last night was great, pity it took so long to set up because by the time we were getting into it (and say, not instantly being killed by the Ifrit) everyone had to leave...Hope we can get a bit longer next time.

Also, our resident medic, metagonzo dying every 2 minutes. Actual lol.

So this is out today, Just booted it up and after fearing my i5 may struggle. I can report that on 720p its running and looking sweet. Like the added pad support even if you still need a keyboard for certain actions.

Cant wait to get stuck in, Not really read much abut it. Does this have co op at all like in Arma 2?

Certainly most keen for getting some games on at some point; bit tricky as that most of my nights are working nights now, however. Something will be sorted.

Loved having a fly round the main island. Large....

Are you using the artillery computer with the mortar? (scroll wheel, should be the bottom option).

I had a quick look and I gotta say, it's a bit disappointing with regards to content. I don't mind that the campaign will come along later because of all the user missions and steamworks integration but after Arma 2 the amount of units and variety feels rather lacking. They kind of shot themselves in the foot with the amount of content in Arma 2 because if anything, after the boatload of cash they got thanks to the dayz mod you would expect MORE content in the sequel.

When you select the artillery computer it should bring you to a map screen, you click on the map where you want to fire and if it's within firing range (not too close, not too far) the option to fire should be click-able at the top right of the screen. You should also be able to select different ranges and type of spread under where it says fire. Once you click fire you should see a line on the map move from your position to the target along with a timer. I take it you see all that?

It won't be pinpoint accurate so if you're not hitting the target try firing multiple times moving the target ever so slightly each time.

Gimmie a shout on steam when you're playing coop and i'll join you.

Still going strong, In the dark world of scripting and modules now. For the time being im just setting up little scenarios to learn the ins and outs of each action.

So far I have managed to be confident with:

respawn point, Confident as I cant test it until others join!
Setting up a night time rain infested search and destroy mission.
Setting up ambushes.
Adding intros and outros to the level.
Adding fluffy bunny rabbits. Not hard but still worth a mention.
Activating a siege mode complete with back up.
Having the weather change mid game.

Still need to learn:


spawning the team in a vehicle with custom chatter on the radio.
Using flashlights only, easily done after the heli but still.
Setting up multiple objectives.

Theres still so much more behind the editor that I havent even thought about. I found watching videos and reading forums is finally paying off. It just takes an age to get to the stage where your doing these actions without thinking.

My plan is to ultimately set up a huge island attack where by you have to sneak on the island under the night sky, take out the smaller units then call in support for the bigger bases. Grand plans but you can but dream.

Oh and its crazy but im still yet to load up the other map!

This is the worst game ever. No idea what's going on, no idea what the controls are, shit graphics, shit framerate, game is full of cunts. Fuck you game. I would say fuck you enemies but I haven't seen a single one.

by far the best steam workshop item. Played it for a few hours and had a lot of fun. Had a few glitches but its still very playable.
