    I didn't bother going with an i7 when I was upgrading a few months ago with ARMA 3 in mind, looks like the i5-3570K will a good enough.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,798 ✭✭✭MiskyBoyy


    Yeah I'm building with an i5-3570k. I think it's more than enough for any game for the near future!

    Supporter edition for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,992 ✭✭✭Korvanica


    Savage ... Will probably go for the Alpha Edition (24.99).

    My Phenom was a good cheap choice, built my 4th pc cheap for ARMA 3 and got the Phenom hoping it would run it :D

    Can't wait

    It's interesting to get the release date (even if it is an alpha) with only a weeks notice.

    Sure beats waiting months or years!

    Clicking the price buttons does nothing.

    Also, Kudos to BI for the fair pricing scheme. The US don't get a game cheaper for once !

    No joy here either. Suspect the BI Store is experiencing something akin to a DDOS attack at the moment.


  • Legal Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 5,400 Mod ✭✭✭✭Maximilian


    lol:
    We are sorry for the inconvenience but STORE.Bistudio.com is closed for maintenance. We will be back soon. For support please email store@bistudio.com


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,213 ✭✭✭MajesticDonkey


    It wasn't available to download until 1PM anyway, but yeah, the whole BI website is a bit fcuked right now.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,090 Mod ✭✭✭✭ktulu123


    So.....that was a disaster of a launch! haha! Anyone actually manage to buy the game?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,874 ✭✭✭✭PogMoThoin


    Hmmmm, has me itching to build a PC..........Watch this space :D


  • Legal Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 5,400 Mod ✭✭✭✭Maximilian


    Got to the checkout then ... fail. At least the store is actaully working.


    Lots of vids to watch between F5 keypresses.

    1. They have finally fixed the mouse acceleration thing. Thank ****. finally. Controls seem much better.
    2. Holo scopes are finally fixed (very end of the vid).
    3. No more deaths from grenade animations!

    looks awesome.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75
