Just a image sent to me... I have no info, or no knowledge on real or not.... but always hoping:

ya, I realized that AFTER posting...working on it.

If you played ArmA1... you know how great of a map SAHRANI is/was... well now it's been re-made for ArmA2, and looks and plays fantastic... many many combat memories on that map... if you want the download... 3rd or 4th map down... http://tinyurl.com/4227lhd

Hard to record with fraps due to the extreme graphics of the game... harder to give orders while recording... but I am loving this one... best in series so far... IMO... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8jOd-vV8C8&hd=1

The biggest problems with MP... IMO... is the "spawn in anywhere", 3 out of 5 times I'll spawn in next to an enemy only to be shot almost immediately. Then theirs the fact that due to getting points for kills to buy more equiptment... half the players, both friend and foe, rather run to a camping/sniper spot instead of capturing objectives, and then finally... due to the point system then buy all those cool toys, by half time of the game almost everyone has some form of advance air weapon like a helicopter, hellfire missile or whatever... so moving out in the open is impossible... so the only ones that lose are the ones who try and capture objectives or play the game. I usually leave in disgust... thou the potential for the game is/was there. again IMO.

Thx Chaz...much appreciated.

Thx... ya, read route AP not in.

Hey guys... just finished the start up tutorial, and thou cool... don't want to do it again, lol... so any key command that does the whole start up procedure like Blackshark does? Also, while I'm here... after the navigation tutorial, I was looking for a auto pilot key or a route auto pilot key again, like in Blackshark. Anyone know? Thx in advance.

Not sure if I shared this already or if I found out about it from one of you here, but anyway... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoIv6olyN_c a sequel is in the works.

new mission editor guide, very well done...for those intrested... http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=13109

Remember all those great SP OFP missions, well w0lle, one of my favorite mission editors of all time, has compiled a 100 mission pack for ArmA 2 OA (must go into your ArmA2OA mission folder, not ArmA2 mission folder.) All the classics re-done with new locations and the new weapons/gear etc etc... these classics are done so well they have the same/similar cut scenes as the originals and say some of the same things in briefings etc etc... Highly recommended for any ArmA2 OA SP player: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=12793 JMO

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays... reporting live X-mas morning on my new iPad... (with a bunch of body wash and body spray, (whats the family saying there? lol) My kids got me a Iron Maiden "Killers" T-shirt and a "Sons of Anarchy" T-shirt... both XXL, (again, what is the family trying to tell me, lol.))

Was working fine before the latest update, but since...whenever I join the VG ArmA2 server I get in then it immediately kicks me, telling me I've been kicked, an admin thing... not a lock out kick... Anyone else? All my other servers I join and visit, work... problem just with VG. ? Thx

After the holidays I'll try and get something going for ArmA2 on VG server. ;) and 1 more co-op video to share: [yt embedded vid fixed - sem]

Just sharing a video we made of a co-op mission... this is what ArmA2 is all about... teamwork and tactics... we use a squad plus size force, sometimes with support sometimes without... usually a SL in charge, and team leaders controlling/ordering their fire teams... works out pretty good, and can be alot of fun. I checked out VG's server... looks like alot of nice co-op missions there, looking forward (after the holidays) too hooking up with some of you. [yt embedded video fixed - sem]

it's out on PC... and all versions, including the Xbox version use a number of flight controllers instead of the gamepad... just FYI. http://gaijinent.com/en/games/apache/ ;)

He betrayed his fellow countrymen/soldiers... plain and simple. He swore an oath but still leaked this info. He is not a hero, this is not free speech, he is a traitor and should be convicted and shot. Sure our county is not perfect, sure some of the info he leaked was America being "bad", but he put fellow soldiers in danger by releasing info he swore (and signed) that he wouldn't. He didn't just release some bad press items, he released combat plans and operations, some still going on as we sit here and type and play games.
