Good enough for now.

Can I has mAOR PIX!!!#!@!!

[BloodyDeed]

I want these HUDs in PR 0.9 not only in CA

[503]

Seethed is still going to be 8km by 8km right?

Man I love those essex radar missiles. Those things are impossible to evade with or without flares.

Where can I find a straight explanation of WTH is Combined Arms? I understand it's a mod for PR, that models different "vehicles" (tanks, APCs, helicopters, aircraft etc.) a little bit more realistically. Am I right?

I mean, you got me insterested, but after reading some random Combined Arms forum messages (I mean the mod's own forum, not PR forum) I still can't seem to see the big picture... So much teasing and random details, but very little general specifics -- general goals etc.

Well the first page of this thread should explain everything. But the short version is that Combine Arms models realistic operation of Vehicles, bringing them closer to their real life counter-parts than every before in BF2 or PR.

Edit, also go watch the vids on the first page if you are still confused. They may be older versions of CA, but it should give you an idea.

What is Combined Arms:

Combined Arms is an add-on for Project Reality 0.85/0.86 geared towards giving each weapon realistic capabilities congruent with its real life counterparts, scaled into the BF2 engine. It also doubles as a test bed for systems that may be used for standard PR, some of which you will see in 0.86.

I really don't know how else to describe it.

[Mora]

Im in as always

[CAS_117]

I am currently uploading the required files. I am (trying) to get in touch with the guy who makes the installers but he's awol for now. They might not be up till early Friday I'm afraid.

[Technoelite]

noo i looking foward to this

[McBumLuv]

I'll be there, should be good with a full server.

[CanuckCommander]

Can't you still give us the files though? I know installer would make it idiot proof, but I don't see a reason why people can't join to do some early testing. TBH, most of us don't need the installer. I think McLuv's instructions are simple enough.

P.S. Files pls?

[McBumLuv]

If we can't have an installer in the end, here are the instructions for all interested: combinedarms.myfreeforum.org :: READ - INSTALL GUIDE

The Update file link no longer works however, and I wouldn't download the Base files yet, just because if we do get the installer, it would be useless anyways. However, this is how you would go about installing it if we don't in fact get an installer. File links updated as well, of course

Well, just waiting on CAS to upload the files for the public.

[CAS_117]

DM one is already operating isn't it?

[crazy11]

Yes we have one

[McBumLuv]

Reminder for those that need help installing it, THIS guide should help you out (links updated as well).
