I like it as much as PR. Find people you know and communicate.

ive never played it, but i would guess on a pub game it wouldnt be that fun, but if u had 10/12 of ya on TS playing coop it would be epic.

i love ArmA due to the amount of people I play with. It does ger boring playing by yourself. I cant wait till I start to play in the ArmA Campaign with ORT. But I like it alot. Or maybe its just all the tactial Convoys and otehr things we do when we are looked into a mission.

Once i've even seen 2 BH's in formation and droping off 8 guys armed to go and kill 3 tanks. Its just amazing what can happen when teamwork comes into play.

one of the best bits of ArmA I thought where the choppers, they felt really nice to me, maybe a little bit unrealistic but overall thought they where pretty gd

ya they qare easy once you learn them. NO W and S keys!

well arma is the Virtual Battlespace engine isnt it? same thing the use to train the australian army and other such folks iirc

tis why I've always thought PR would do better with it

make sure you have the latest patch version of ArmA.. the chopper controls were a bit buggy in the first release, but has been improved in the 1.08 version! I never play arma online.. i like the SP part,, but not the MP of ArmA..

I like ArmA but it has it's quirks. It does and allows for a lot of things that we can't even dream about in BF2 but it also is a completely different experience from PR. Most people who like PR also like ArmA and I expect the reverse to be true. They are so different that they are not competing too much directly.

ye, really a merge between the 2 would make the perfect realistic game

ArmA is amazing and the best thing about it is the Choppers, you must have had a bad experience or are miffed that your computer cant play it on high.

Get the 1.09 beta as it improves your fps considerably

Gave multiplayer a go not long ago (not much time to play with exams and all), made the mistake of going for a Conquest server or something. Log in, hop in a BH, we take off...get shot down.

Respawn, get in a BH...get tk'd.

Respawn, spawn where people are fighting, take one shot...get run over.

And so forth...

Probably cool in co-op though, still have to try that.

If you want a good experience with ArmA you should hop into RGG's TS for a game, and if you like you could go on to play with us in a PvP tournament, 25 v 25 last weeks battle .

Im probably too much of an arcade player for arma, maybe arma will be the softer option after this next release

Whats the biggest player vs player battle you can have in arma, does it beat 64 players ?

Isnt online gaming all about the people, who are always going to be more interesting to play with/against then a computer, I keep hearing arma isnt really about that..


And all that radio spam **** would really bug me, Im glad pr has cut out all the commander spamming 'infantary spotted' so going to arma would be a step backwards

PR balances Realism with good gameplay, i hope this next update doesn't ruin that. ArmA looks ok, but TOO slow paced.

Someone posted their clans ArmA coop around here, and i have to say it looked really cool. I'm just too cheap to go buy a new game that I won't have much time to play once I return to school.

I play with a reslism unit for arma, and I gotta admit the way we play the game is very differnt but its alot more fun. Choppers control imo are better than PR, the physics in PR of choppers is better than vbf2 but could do for a little tweaking. for example though PR, you can tilt the chopper forward and never have to worry about it nose diving, PR on the other hand you do. dont get me wrong I love PR but arma has a better engine to start with but the codeing sucks, its alot worse than Bf2 and which explains the extreme amounts of lag. Take COD4 very well coded little or barely and lag. Honestly Arma is just place holder until OFP2 Comes out then it'll be deserted. Btw, if you want to hook up and play arma PM we and we'll hop on TS and hit it up.

I played an earlier version of ArmA a while ago, and it was really terrible and glitchy, is it much better when you have it on high graphics w/ good FPS?

The best way to play armed assault is through an organised tournament or clan that uses proper tactics and teamwork. Ive been with the operation reality campaign (flying) and its been amazing.

And the choppers are the best thing about Arma i can belive anyone thing they are bad! To be honest i think the choppers in arma is way better then the choppers in PR
