Great to finally play ACE in ArmA 2 :)
To bad the wounding system isnt in this version yet though, that was my favourite aspect of ACE1.
Still, eventually it'll be in, good things come to those who wait :)

Wahooo!

The ACE Mod team gets bonus points for promising the week of Dec 7 and releasing on Dec 7.

Now to die a billion times in Avgani missions...

Which will be an all-new Apache helicopter, which is what the minicampaign is focussed on :)

Next to that, the list of bugfixes en improvements seen from this patch beta-series is nothing short of great.
1.05 is gonna rock.

Enjoying ACE 2, it's going to be epic once all the features are in, it is awesome to finally be able to use the CQB sights on an ACOG (only works on ACE added guns) makes urban fighting a lot less of a hassle.

There are some bugs though, for one changing the key bindings for ACE functions won't work at all for me, even though I am editing the correct file and using the proper key codes :mad:

Also the install process is convoluted to say the least, I can see it really doing some people's heads in :D

Is that not the 1.17 beta? 1.18 official is out this now. I recently put ArmA I back on my system and for some reason I can run it all on high settings which I couldn't do before, all ive upgraded was my memory from 2 gig to 4 gig.

1.18

I just updated to 1.18 and there's only one server running 1.18. :p

because it's not final patch but 1.18 Release Candidate,
the ARMAHOLIC title is misleading

So I hop on the game to try the new mission "When Diplomacy Fails". On the first server our side's HQ was destroyed and all I could do was stare at the "You've LOST!" screen. Apparently when the mission is over, it has to be changed manually by admin. Poor waiting people.

On the second server I bought troops, transports and stuff and spent 20 minutes trying to get to enemy terroritory. Then the server stops responding. Awesome. On the third server the same thing. Also, what's with all these warping vehicles/infantry on the servers? One moment you're shooting at a guy running towards you, and the next moment he warps 50 meters to the left. WTF?

Result: 50 minutes lost + frustration. Oh, BIS games never change. I'm really trying to like but BIS is light years behind creating a solid multiplayer structure/gameplay.
