The only ones who could be within attacking and sighting distance from the MEC Main on Kashan and NOT be raping it would be forward observers - it's a term to mean camping the main base, not to determine a set number of bots raped per minute, or some other semantics. The rule is there for a reason, the admins warn/kick/ban for it, and it is a good thing. Thank you, Robot. And Cyanide, thanks for coming back and discussing it here - but please understand that the VG PR COOP Rules are not open for debate. Find another way, cap all the Flags at the other bases somehow, and then you are free to set up an FOB outside their airbase and lauch sidewinders all day at the helpless hordes. Exceptions cannot be made for rules, i.e. 7 people are online, camping enemy main base, 3 join, 10 minutes later 5 join, etc. At what point are these new players going to know that the game isn't about camping and raping the bots at their main base? Rules that change depending on the number of players present will always just confuse and cause problems down the road. Hence the clear rules spelled out, as they have been for years and years. And on that subject, it is just as bad when teams set up on the fortress in Mutrah City raping the bots as they flood out of their main - Cap the Flags! Play the game as it was designed - it's not that hard.

I know a few friends recently upgraded, but they are in the UK, and it may be a huge shipping cost vs. old used parts anyway. Keep looking, and hopefully someone may post up, but there are some nice options available for under $300 in the CPU/MoBo/RAM realm that may work for your budget, if you were able to save up for it. !hi **EDIT: Are we sure that graphics card is "too new" for the MoBo - I have a similar board and I run a new'ish Radeon 6770 which is a dual wide PCI-e card. If your motherboard has a quad core, it may also have one PCI-e slot for that graphics card, or does it not? My MoBo is from 2007, gutted from a boxed PC, the HP Pavilion 920e.

thousand times better! !2cool

Reality Gamers - not from PR COOP. Good people, sounds like a plan. We will have to get something in the works... !2cool

PM sent to BLuDKLoT - will be able to fix later. Will PM you, Melon, when it is done. !hi

Melon is the man with a plan - PM him if he's afk for too long, I bet he can work his magic on it....

Nvram =VG= LAN_WROTE ... ACE has to be updated ACRE Radios are not working properly sometimes( requesting Missions etc) If you ever have an issue with a Command Radio, or any ACRE Radio, drop it on the ground, wait a sec, and pick it back up. This will reassign the radio to you and fix 90% of problems. Obviously, ACE may need the update - but that has nothing to do with ACRE.

Nice drawings - with regards to overheating, perhaps one of the tech monkeys here would be able to help with that, I can think of several ways you can fix that and get back to the way it used to run, but I have limited time online until June 18th. Ask around in TS3, you may get some good tips. The Gaming Veterans here love to help people game and have a combined 30+ years of experience... !cheers

Sniper Package sneaks into the Arma 3 Alpha Prague, Czech Republic, Wednesday 6th June 2013 Right before heading out to Los Angeles for the E3 Expo, Bohemia Interactive released a content update for the Arma 3 Alpha. The ?Sniper Package? includes two powerful sniper rifles and supplementary ghillie suits The first rifle, the Gepard GM6 Lynx, is a semi-automatic anti-materiel rifle using 12.7x108 mm ammo. Its purpose is to stop or disable targets such as light armored vehicles, armored rifle troops, light shelters and helicopters from 600?800 m range. The second weapon, the M320R Long Range Rifle, is a .408 caliber sniper rifle, valued for its accuracy up to 2000 meters. Furthermore, besides new camouflage clothing (ghillie suits), the Sniper Package also features sniper optics (long range scopes) and a rangefinder (special binoculars). All content will be added automatically via a Steam update (0.60), which also includes the ?stance indicator? and several other game improvements and fixes. The full details are listed in the changelog.

Just remember that the more powerful tools we provide or allow tend to make the game play more like "just going through the motions" of an attack, and though it is important to have fire support and close air support for our e-soldiers, it is equally important to have a proper degree of a challenge for players as well. Just being able to be killed by the enemy is not a challenge enough, IMHO, and a degree of fear is a good thing in a realism game such as Arma. No one should feel comfortable popping their head up while deep in the shit, and they should have to think on how to act and react, instead of just scoping inept AI bots with high power assault rifles FTW. Balance is difficult to achieve, and props to all those working on this/these missions to create that sense of balance and challenge. !hi

nah, nothing that dramatic. But on Memorial Day, outside the grocery store, 2 VFW members were posted there, accepting donations and meeting people. They are certainly some of the last survivors of WWII and it was my honor to meet them. !hi

haha! I use that bridge bombing training TE all the time with different bombs - I think I hit it once or twice over the years. !lol What's really fun is trying to drop one of them B-61's and escape the blast wave - haha!

A Humble Memorial Salute A Humble Memorial Salute to the United States Armed Services - Thank You for your Service! Filmed on Memorial Day 2013 in Arma 2. special thanks to =VG= TortiaBoy and [LAMBS] Nixxen, and to Jager for their assistance.

special thanks to 8uMag00 (a.k.a. dragon) for the awesome collage!! !pals

=VG= T.E.D.F. wrote ... ... players are still forcedto Team 1 (blufor) when they join or die Melon, can you perhaps fix this? I've done some publicity on this, but (see chatbox) in game messages should also be adjusted to reflect this event, and give players a heads up. In game rules need to apply, and messages should say "No teamswitching to bot side" of course, and if you fix the above issue TED mentioned, it will be "automated", eh? !dntknw

...be forewarned - i44 Domi Port has poor garbage collection, server FPS will go down and down until it needs a manual restart. Still an awesome Domi port, but needs manual attention from an active admin at times. Have fun! Hope you get more numbers tomorrow - remember, you can post up on the actual I44 site and get their I44 community involved if you want more numbers. !cheers

BTW - Falcon BMS is wayyyyy better, and more stable. We all fly it now, and it's free! Just download the BMS installer, and point it to your Falcon 4 .exe - if you do not have the original Falcon executable, you do not need to purchase the original game, just download the executable from our Falcon BMS section, then when installing BMS, you just point to where it is on your PC. Eazy Peazy. Again, feel free to post up any questions, we are always happy to help.

www.veterans-gaming.com/download.php?list.62 Called Gunslinger X52 Pro 1.3 - from the included readme: "Paste the ?GunslingerX52F4.key? file in the C:\Program Files\Lead Pursuit\Battlefield Operations\config folder" Follow the instructions in the readme and if you have any further questions, feel free to post them up here. I found it very helpful, and even printed out the pages with the keys layouts and the joystick images with button function labels. Good luck! !coffee

Starchy - take the hint - set up pust to talk and get with the modern age. I'd hate to see you try to use ACRE in Arma, sheeeit....... !slow

SavageCDN =VG= LAN_WROTE ... We can also now run multiple dedicated servers but I'll need time to get that setup properly and the TCAdmin files updated. WOO HOO! This is great news! So happy they got this sorted before the BETA comes out... !gam

Jager LAN_WROTE ... Guessing that it has to do with the rotation, and if one mission crashes it'll revert to the starting one. ^^ Yes - exactly that. ACR was second in rotation, never gets completed due to crashes, and reverts to US - BAF was third in rotation. I've just changed it, now it's: 1. US 2. BAF 3. ACR !hi *won't take effect until server is restarted by an admin in TCAdmin Panel - do so when ACR is ready to crash, or has been up awhile, ask an admin in TS3 or Steam.
