Hey Cross, This is the game you have been making maps for right?
I was wondering if my rig could handle this game. I tried to find the specs on this game with no luck. Could you tell me what the min requirements are for this game are buddy. The maps look huge and the eye candy awsome. Thanks..from your UO moving Target.. "T.M." -------------------- |

specs are (Recommended)
CPU 3 ghz 1 GB ram Nvidia6800 or above or Ati 800 and up (both with at least 256mb) I run a Quadcore 2.33 768mb Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS and 3 GB Ram I have everything set high with 1900x1200 Res and get 60FPS when playing on server with upto 100 players v around 1000 AI on whole of map.... And the maps are around 500km + Heres a good little video of actual gameplay.....you will notice that the gameplay is the same as cutsenes. OHHH and MIn requirements for the game are the same vid cards ,but 512mb ram and CPU 2Ghz...but its best run on the recommended ,as the servers use all the maps mostly and alot of action happens i.e Aircraft ,helos,gunfights ,tank battles ...and everything else that could happen all at once..... IF you are thinking of geting it ,then get ARMA GOLD has its cheaper and you get the addon ..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ4IU7H7eq4 -------------------- |

Interesting..That videos got my blood to a boil in a good way.
The music reminds me of the Rouge six,Tom Clancy background music. I have like 4 of those games gathering dust around here. The problem with them was the maps were just Way to small. anyway back to the spec's. My rig is set up as follows: Dell XPS gen 3 ,Pent 4 cpu 3.40 ghz but it also says 3.39ghz 2.00 gb ram...i could add another stick if needed, I know theres room for one more. Radeon x800xt...card..Im asuming this card has 256mb. cant find anyinfo to back that up though.I think you mentioned 512 mb would be best. I may fall alittle short on the video card side but woulld consider buying another more powerfull card,granted it does'nt complicate things where i may need a new power suppy etc.I'm not sure how that all works you know you buy a new card then you need a new power supply to run the card etc and the snowball just grows... I know this rig will never run cod4, cod5 and thought may be up grade this machine to run them would be nice but after reading many posts about these two games and hearing how they funnel you tward your apponent into firefights,no flanking etc,sounded to me as just another TDM type play which i have little enjoyment in playing. Your thoughts ..up grade to a new card..add another stick of ram.and go gaming? Russ -------------------- |

If your card is 512 then I wouldn`t really bother ,upgrading unless you really do want to......Ram will be OK at 2 ,as thats the min anyway.......the only thing is if you want to add a mod (and theres alot) then I would put another chunk in ...to see the different mods go here www.armaholic.com You will see that you can change nearly everything in the game...Sounds ,effects , music ,style of uniforms and even the weaponary... I have played the game on min requirements ,and it does play ok ,but you may find it a bit 'LAGGY' to say ,as it doesn`t play like CoD or any kind of run and gun game ....movement of character is far more relistic then the "norm" fast sweep around of a FPS game. The way to look at this game is to treat it as a FULL COMBAT SIM and NOT as a FPS...... It really is up to you Russ....you could always get the game to see if your machine can run it as if ....or just download the demo from the above here http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=1124........ Hope this helps you me o`l UO target....(sry had to put that ) LOL -------------------- |

Ha.Ha .Ha...Thats tottaly understandable 'Cross", especially after i bought some new Rabbit shoes.It may be a little more diffacult for you to get the bead on me.. I've been dieing to get a new game and this game sounds to me it may very well be the one. I'm going to down load the demo and see what happens. Deffinatly i'll add another stick of ram soon. And wait and see if my card is'nt taxed too much..like you said laggyness ,may be an issue. yea im almost certain my card is 256mb. Worst comes to worse i'll look into another card down the road. Thanks for your help Cross. P.S. been thinking about getting a TaT like the one you have on your bicep,but the damn thing would wrap around my chicken wing bicep like 6 times so...i decided againt it..it would look Pathetic.

Thanks again partner..I'f you see a pile of burning rubble on the ground thats probebly me learning how to fly...LoL. "T.M." -------------------- |

LOL....first time I went up in the UH 60 I crashed into the 2 Vipers sitting on the tarmac...thank god I didn`t get the bill.............
Glad it runs smooth......... I will be selling me card next month ,as I`m goner up grade to the new 1GB 280x card from Nvidia hopefully.... So if you want I can give you first offers on the card if you like...... I forget to say that in order to get the best out of gameplay ,you really need to get on TS ,Vent or use the ingame speech system.....as to type when so much action is happening can cause you DEATH...... -------------------- |

To give you an idea of size of map......SS is of a town called Pariso on the island in Arma..this is by no-means the biggest of the 22 cities ,but is one of the largest......for sale you can see a T72 parked on the open ground just down from the church and to the left on the airfield you can see a Hind Gunship on the runway.
Throw in the SS of my flight and also of the T72...... -------------------- |

I played for about 2 hours last night..Still crashing and burning though.
The maps are so massive it takes for ever to get to your next waypoint if your on foot. I found the time warp to be of some help..suddenly your in a firefight looking feverishly for your opponent. I have LOTS to learn in the commands section,key boards cammands and memorizing them effectively. It will be some time before i even think about joining a coppertive game play on the net. I dont want to get discuraged or frustrated too soon..i think for now i'll stick with single player and learn as much as posable before going that route. So far im quite happy with the way my rig is able to run this game.The real test will be when i get the the game and load probebly 6 gb,and then i'll really see if this card is up to snuff. Cross by all means if you get an offer for your present card in the near future sell it off,dont wait on me. I appreciate your offer for sure.but i think i'll get some more Ram and see if that may help runnuing the game out of the box and go from there. -------------------- |

No problem about the card ,am still thinking about the up grade anyways........
As for multiplayer I always make a server for Matt and myself to play in along with Snot Rocket from time to time.....so you could always learn in there.........

I have a question, when folks like the developers of this came specify that the minimum requirements are for a 2 Core, and the optimal are for a Quad core, one would assume this means they are writing their code so it can handle multithreads. Anyone know if this is actually the case, or are they just blowing smoke up our ass?
This came up the other day when someone was telling me about a Dell package that included Dell's odd 24" monitor (odd because of the narrow vertical resolution). I compared the package to Apple's 24" iMac which boasts a 2.8 Ghz dual core. The Dell had something like 2.33 quad. If ArmA actually is multi-threaded, the dual core still might be a better choice (two 1.4 chips) whereas the Dell is running four 575 chips. I suppose we'd have to turn this discussion over to speed experts, but it seemed to me that the iMac offered a better deal at the same price point. The Dell came with a wimpy 256MB ATI Radeon HD3650 graphics card, but had a decent SATA drive. The only real drawback to the iMac was you had to buy your own Windows OS and it isn't upgradeable. I bought the 2.8 iMac when it first came out. I've remained impressed with its speed, silence and glorious screen, and now that you can pick one up via the Apple refurbished store for $1500, it seems to be an outstanding deal. Of course, I longed for the ultimate speed, so I picked up a Mac Pro Xeon with the new Harpertown processor. The thing is smoking fast. Dean, have you made the leap to Vista yet, or will they have to peel your copy of XP from your cold, dead hands? This post has been edited by HammaTime: 12/16/08 9:58pm |
