  1. Playing the tactical domination today where we elected a Commander and then split off teams, it was pretty clear the organsation into teams was very clunky.

     

    I wonder if we can figure out a way to make it easier to allocate the teams and also perhaps deal with the cluttered comms from 2 separate teams communicating.

     

    I dont think the process would be complicated but just need to get everyone on the same page.

     

    I think the Comms is prolly a simple fix - the basics like announcing who you are and which team you belong to - for example-

     

    Lightspeed - Team Bravo - blah blah blah over.

     

    Over = waiting for a response. ie. "Lone tango spotted - am I clear to engage over?" (waits for order)

    Out = no response required - nothing further to add. ie. "I am holding my position - out" (no response needed)

     

    Instead of "I see a tank". Who does? Where? What team are you trying to advise?

     

    Remember Im no expert but I have an idea of what works what doesnt.

     

     

    In terms of the Teams shown in team status - we may need to do some testing to see how we should set it up.

    Today we had Alpha team, for example, actually sitting in the Bravo position while the Bravo team sat in the Delta team position.

     

    Thoughts?

  2. I bought an HD4870 1Gig DDR5 - sweet as - running everything on highest quality and averaging 35+fps.

     

    I suspect I have a slight bottleneck with my CPU and only 2 Gig of Ram but as long as its above 30fps its smooth as silk.

     

    oh yeh - this replaced my 8800GTS 320mb which gave me only 15-20 fps on high (not highest quality).

  3. ok so ive converted them but others cant hear them ingame.

     

    i wonder if everyone needs the same sound files to hear eachothers, although i have heard others in game b4.

     

    anyone know how those were set up?

  4. As you may or may not know, I'm a GR diehard and I'm not sure if these have been made but I'm going to knock some up tonight.

     

    That is - a list of 10 ingame radio chat messages taken straight from Ghost Recon - I'll try and pick the 10 best GR sound memories but also the most appropriate for use on the battlefield.

     

    "Got a tank"

    "Over the hills and through the scrub"

    "I think we caught them napping"

     

    Anyways there are a lot of them, I'll go through them all - might even post a list here to see if others want them ingame.

    Might even convert and pack them all and ppl can use the ones they like.

    But tactically, I could put together a list of radio commands that are simple but highly informative for the rest of the squad.

     

    Will keep you posted.

  5. for what its worth, I dont mind the odd vehicle here and there but im old school - on the ground is where I want to be and I dont want to do the clean up job after the vcls do the bulk of the work. I want to take on a town with my fellow grunts on the ground.

     

     

  6. Just bought a new video card for Arma 2 and Dragon Rising.

     

    I was running an old 8800gts ddr2 320mb which gave me about 15 fps in Toms Hardware Tests.

     

    Now I've purchased an ATI HD4870 1gig ddr5 which runs at 60fps and should have that in by weekend.

     

    See you then fellas.

     

    Oh by the way Halli - new personal best - 87 kills - 6 enemy vcl - and only died 13 times. Won't be long before the apprentice becomes the master. :P

     

    And finally, great move to up the number of AI on the maps - really has lifted the intensity and workload for capturing villages - much improved. thanx

     

    Lighty out

  7. Lightspeed here - from GR.Net.

     

    Had great games today on the Domination Server - nice group of players - was on the server for 4 or 5 hours.

    I haven't done that length of COOP for a couple of years since Gr died out.

    Says a lot for Arma 2 - great game and the ppl in the server.

     

    Will be back tomorrow and in future for sure.

     

    Cheers,

     

    Lighty.
