Any other Panthera Epoch servers out that are not full of PSI people and Frankie people? Last I checked there was only 2 and Frankie played on one and Psi played on the other, making me concious of hackers and constantly full servers.

We play on a TZW server, good craic so far. Don't have time for frankie fan boys & I don't think there are many on that. Decent squad/clan battles

Looking forward for the ability to Group Up in the new A3 Breaking Point mod. No more silly secret friend signals lol!

Worth getting with an Core2Duo 2.2ghz/Nvidia GT260/4gb Ram? Probably not is what I'm thinking.

I'm using a Toshiba laptop with integrated graphics and it's working grand for me, dedicated video ram is only 32mb though, but there doesn't seem to be any problem running it for me, maybe download the arma 2 free version and give it a belt?

Mycroft H

Won't have time to get the demo, it's a tenner on steam for the OA and ARMA for like the next hour. Sure I'll try it out.

Mycroft H

Done. Now the long wait until I download 20 odd gigabytes of data.

Surely you mean 320mb?

Don't call me Shirley.



And nope, 32mb!

Mycroft H

So your saying I should be okay with 1GB of dedicated video memory :P

SherlockWatson

Yeah I hope you are, my laptop doesn't run it amazingly well but well enough that I can play it and see what's going on and actually enjoy it so i'm happy with it until I get myself a proper Gaming Pc after christmas!

Is that one of the cards that scales up based on what is running? I dont think theres a chance any current game would run with that amount of GPU memory. Just noticed thats only the dedicated memory, the card will use system memory as well!

For running Arma 2 a good processor is more important than a good graphics card.

simon360

Listen to this while looking at it!

"A few hours before release"
Could we be lucky? Hopefully a Christmas release!

Lol, I still don't believe it's going to happen. And if it does the steam store will crash so nobody will be able to download it anyway xD

Integrated graphics on my Toshiba laptop.

Laptop seems to run anything I've thrown at it so far though.

MadYaker

The more I think about it the more it becomes apparent that the launch of this game is going to be an absolute clusterfúck. Remember how hard it was to get on a server when the mod exploded in June/July of last year? This is gonna be ten times worse and its alpha so there will be some bugs too.

Still can't wait though!

I've been playing arma 3 Breaking Point. Not the finished article but it's the arma 3 engine, change of scenery is always good, improved inventory, movement etc, no more dying on stairs.

The zombies are slower but in towns you really find it hard to enter a house with just one exit because you get swarmed.

So yeah, I'm liking it so far.

What server are people playing on these days? Just starting.

This is a race that we had one night on the old Gaellords Overwatch server. Been sitting on my hard drive for a while now & found it today. Enjoy!

If you type in "Russian Server" and have origins mod and official only ticked. you should find it, its a 40 person server and its fairly active... mainly with crazy Russians.
