And gone again Aug 1, 1846 Zulu. Something's up with the server for sure. I can find other servers, just not the Sparta one.

Back up Aug 1, 1845 Zulu.

DayZ server is down, gentlemen: Aug 1, 1840 Zulu.

Yeah, they are helpful! I hopped on briefly today and I actually still had my character on the server. Stuck on the top of a tower I couldn't find my way down from in the dark. Ended up jumping off and starting over. Skaz was very helpful - came in with a boat to Elektro and hooked me up with a map, compass, and a gun among other things. Refilled my veins too. ^^ I think if my girlfriend ever gives me a break I might be able to get into this game.

I never played Dragon Age, even though my buddy nags at me all the time about it.

Custard, it might be free to play, but you still have to purchase the initial software. After my disappointment with GRFS, I'll wait and see what you guys think first. Not that I'm worried it will be anywhere near as bad as GRFS... Batwing, I was referring to right at the beginning of the video. Might have been someone who spawned in at the same spot as him or something, though.

Is it just me or is there no player colision mapping? Looked like a mech walked straight through the cockpit in the video? I'm gonna let you enthusiasts play the beta and see what you think before purchasing.

Looks quite nice, really. I wonder what game engine they are using?

Is there any point in me starting on your server? You guys all seem to have gotten so far you can basically pick any gear you want, whereas I'll be running around with a can-opener at best...

I used to play this game way back with a buddy of mine. It was awesome fun. So, are you guys still toying around with this? I might have to go and find it in that case.

Definitely console. Definitely not worth it. On the other hand, GRFS wasn't worth it either, and I went and bought that...

All I noticed was how good control he had on that carbine on full auto, plus very large magazines...

Looking good, Sir!

Interesting for sure. Copy of DayZ? Most likely a lot, anyway, judging by the name. I think I'll also be reading up on this to see how it is. Oh, and maybe I'll try and play some more DayZ too, while I'm at it!...

He tried to sound all know-it-all and stuff, then he went and said "clip".

Nice vid. I really need to play more DayZ, so I actually get somewhere with it! BTW Jack, I like that avatar. She seems to be enjoying herself...

I'm having fun with the new assignments on this. I get a real hit to my FPS on the CQB maps, though! Had to turn a lot of things down.

The singleplayer is actually a bit of fun, even if you can't controll your team like in "real" Ghost Recon games.

Yeah. It's a shame ground branch doesn't look like it will happen now that the kickstarter is over. :sad:

I think we have about three people who have actually bought it. The rest have either done their research or heard us whining. I tried out some multiplayer today and sure, if you play seige it can be kind of tactical. I'm sure if you get on the right server you can play tactical on most gamemodes. But as far as I could tell, there's no support for proper dedi's anyway. I could either host a game on my computer, or join a random match à la console multiplayer. Maps seem to be very small according to Ghost Recon standards. Think COD. They've even put a gamemode in their (called guerilla) that reminds me a lot of a gamemode from COD, where you have to survive numerous waves of enemies with increasing difficulty... I would say this game is going straight to the junk pile. EDIT: Spelling - damn phone

Well, I went and purchased it on Steam. Game has MAJOR problems even after the one month "extra work." Can't have any extra peripherals plugged in, like your joysticks or G13 keypad or Saitek Cyborg Pad or anything like that. Lots of mice aren't working either. It sees the software for the stuff and automatically thinks you have an xbox controller plugged in, so the game will then only work with xbox controller - you lose the mouse input for movement. Some people lose all mouse input except mouse scroll. So I am now playing the game with my standard keyboard and a mouse - which I can say is really annoying. Can already feel the mouse-arm symptoms coming back, and I've only been able to play the game a couple of days. Why they even put xbox controller support in a PC game to start with is beyond me. Needless to say, if they can't add support for the most popular gaming peripherals on the market very, very soon, I'll be posting a support ticket to Steam for a full refund - I don't care that I've used my unique CD-key, I'm getting my money back if this game doesn't get better. Apart from the above, I'm actually having a bit of fun in the campaign mode. It's a little linear, but most games are these days - PC or not. Story is still quite "Tom Clancy" and you get to sneak around a fair bit. Haven't tried multiplayer yet, but that doesn't look promising with only 6v6 and the run and gun attitude that seems to go into most game development these days. I guess I'll see soon...

This post isn't quite related to everything you've posted so far, but the thread IS called Server problems, so... I've been having some trouble on your server the last couple of nights. I can spawn in, do some stuff, then try to get to a new location. I'll run up to as far as 2 km, then all of a sudden I get ported back to where I was before I started the long run. Desync is at 0. Any takers?

What I like the most about this mod is the directional audio they put into the TS chat, so it's like you're talking in the game. Then, once you're further away you're forced to use the radio. I also think the AI can hear you talking, so you have to be quiet on those sneeky missions.

I might have to try this out

So, I've been away from ArmA a fair bit these days - well, away from gaming at all, really - but I'm getting back into ArmA again. Was playing a COOP mission on GenKill server where they had this mod running, and all I can say is: AWESOMENESS! What the mod does: This mod does two things, basically. For starters, it finds you on teamspeak and links anything you say there into the game so that it lip-syncs with your character. This sound is complete 3D audio, and also affected by distance - the further away you are from someone who is talking, the less you hear. The second thing it does, is add a squad radio system to your inventory, with a default talk key set to Caps Lock. You can adjust volume of the radio, adjust which ear you hear it in, and also adjust which channel you're on - 1 through 16. I've also heard rumours that the AI will hear you talking if they're close enough. I haven't seen that in action, as we had all heard the rumours and were using radio clicks to communicate when AI were nearby. Oh, another good thing with the mod, is that it automatically mutes you if you die. This mod really helps add to the realism of a mission, and forces teamplay even more. If you haven't already tried it, I'd suggest you do!
