If you get the ACE mod and play the game with like minded people it is hella fun, though to get this mod you'll have to wrangle with the abhorrent 'six updater'. I have no idea why these guys just couldn't release it as a standard install.

Playing with the 6th.sense guys occasionally, I can tell you it's much more convenient that way. It allows for smaller, more frequent updates without having to compile them as patches and full dowloads or upload them to the different mirrors. It's very convenient when you get used to it.

Yep, I've been using Yoma's Addon Syncer and it's miles better than "sixupdater" crap.

We at TDNL use Yoma as well, and we have it fixed in such a way that only one guy has to download the mod through Sixupdater, after which he will upload the different files to our Yoma packs.
That way the rest of us can get any ACE updates through that, instead of all having to mess around with Sixupdater.
And besides that we dont update it as often as ACE mod does, we are running several versions behind right now, because we are sick and tired of updating and mismatching every other day or so.

I hook up to the Kellys Heroes servers and download with Yomas addon sync.

Operation Arrowhead is set for the 29th June, looking good...

I read that the performance issues should be fixed in Operation Arrowhead.

Nope. From Eurogamer preview:

Such focus should be also dedicated towards the HW requirements. With Core i5 750, Radeon 4890, 4 GB of RAM and Windows 7 64-bit I was struggling to get past 30-40 frames per second at medium details and parts where my frame rate could be counted on the fingers of one hand weren't that uncommon either. The HW requirements could obviously change in the several months left before release though.

But of course it never changes.

here to kill your monster
yeah!! it's arrived - but i'm off to work soon so i'll have to leave till tomorrow.

so i'll still need the sixupdater to install ACE, or can i use Yoma from the get-go?

i been a member of 6th since the vietcong days so i'll get check out what they're doing - i think they used to run thier own custom arma1 mods.

I wanna get straight into the mods and custom coop on arma 2, i kinda missed arma1 in it's breif heyday as my pc wasn't up to it, and only played the evo coop on public.

As always when I hear about ArmA updates: sounds great, maybe even fantastic.

Except for what will undoubtedly be a resource-heavy and buggy dynamic terrain generation system. And my annoyance that they are redoing the work of the most popular modders for their own profit.

Still, ArmA needs a shot in the arm, and this will do it.

Agreed.

They're not a nonprofit and it was a logical and overdue next step to move to Afghanistan.

You can also put First Aid and Battle Field Clearence Revive Modules into "most popular".
I like the way BIS make the most of what is user-made material.

No modders have complained as far as I'm aware.

Has not the terrain generator been revamped somewhat. Or am I mixing up my BIS games that are to be released in the future.

The latest beta is pretty stable 4me btw.

you already have infinite terrain in ARMA 2 working fine
so where is that buggy part ?

also the A2:OA planning development phase started before ARMA 2 was released ...

God this game is such an utter piece of crap in SP. For some reason I wanted to play it again and I restarted Manhatten and ONCE AGAIN NOTHING WORKS. I try to catch the damn langushin whore, I'm at the right spot @Krasn...... at the right time, even her car is parked in front of the church, but she simply isn't there and you can not enter the church :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Editor...
The best missions I've played, are my own, hand made.

The best multi-player experience that I have had, was on zee netzzs, (VTE).

My (SP) bugged out on the Lt Keyhole bug, or whatever his dumb name is.
Can't wait for the new Episode...
