Cool! A new tactical shooter built on the Unreal 3 engine!

@Plymike - FYI your shopping cart at newegg cannot be seen by us, it's specific to your login. It's pretty much a "broken link" for all of us...

I'm liking the switch to the Intel - they are leading the way, blasting AMD out of the water. I've been learning a lot from Poffadder in the discussions we've been having regarding this new tech. From what I hear, there are instances where a CPU is branded several ways, but remains the same at the core - meaning you pay less for same part, and manually dial it up to the speed of it's higher priced brother.

Do you plan on doing any overclocking, or perhaps sometime in the future? And, if you are, know that you have plenty of helpers here that are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Good to hear from you! Best wishes!

So, what are you currently buying? The list has changed from the first post moreso than just that 8 core AMD? Also, remember, specs quoted by Newegg are no kind of specs at all. Research your parts separately, not at the storefront - for example, look at the best Gaming CPU's between $100 and $200 as rated/tested by Tom's Hardware:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-3.html

You'll see the FX-4100 doesn't qualify as a "gaming" cpu technically, and also some real data on the CPU's that should be considered for gaming PC builds.

Count me in.

Seriously, when I add up the price of all your parts, it comes to the same prices (and in some cases, the same parts) of the custom built gaming computers at CyberPower (the link that BLuD posted). The only difference is that for that same price, through CyberPower, you would be getting a way better graphics card, better RAM, and a warrenty on the build. Unless you were going to build a rather advanced, expensive setup, I would also recommend that you check out CyberPower's deals cuz you could get way more for your dollar when it comes to entry and mid level gaming systems.

I would love to. Arma and VG are my passion!

...great. Now I have to go change my pants.

Just Alt-Tab and check your Task Manager when you have the game running. Click the Performance tab and check your Physical Memory Usage.

That is your guage as to whether you need more RAM or not. I always prefer faster over more, and as you would need to purchase another copy of Windows (64-bit) and reinstall the whole thing (programs and games included), you may consider the eventual costs adding up.

In the end, you will see a massive improvement with a good graphics car upgrade, because that 5570 that came with the Pavillion is only such in name alone and the actual GPU on it. By all other comparisons, it's complete crap - even a right and proper 5570 would trounce it. Such is the way with "boxed" PC's.

A good graphics card can usually be found in the $150 price range (US dollars). It should have good reviews, good recommendations from other users (perhaps here on VG), and a good name brand. Be sure you don't need to upgrade that 500W power supply, or at least factor in that cost.

Count me in - stick me with Outlanders, whatever you do, when you get a lineup going.

Okay - here's my brother's Jack (actually Parsons Terrier) and the late, great Thomas the Cat:



The dog loves to play with toys, and Tom loved to play with the dog:

Thank you to all our donators!! Please help us to meet our goal this month so that we may continue to provide awesome game servers and a great website for us all to enjoy!

I remember finding these when I first started to play Arma. Going through them again now - much more appropriate if we all take the time when we have it, so that we are all on the same page.

Thanks to all Veterans! May freedom reign forever!

Do you think the people who get banned would have not been banned were they to have read more than just the rules, but a how to play guide?

Does PR still have the PR manual?

Charlie Squad; Fire Team 2

Castor lead us along the coastal road North, parallel to Lupago and Fire Team 1. Minimal contacts - took a long, cautious approach to SE AA camp, but suffered zero casualties as a result. This tactic would have been perfect, and safe against ACE AI, so do not think we took "too" long.

We found the enemy SAM's unguarded and relieved their operators from duty before placing demo charges. Not long after, we heard reports of the General's demise and the subsequent fall of the Stronghold itself.

Made our way to Extract Zone, and watched the Osprey's coming in en masse. Great game, very quick, but no doubt a result of our practices these past few weekends. ACE here we come!!!

(on a side note - it's great to be playing Arma again with so many old friends - Murderface, Gaz, Calv, Jager, and the lot. Good times!)

Some dude named Trent had a Kimber .45 this last summer. I didn't like the look of it (it barely resembled the Colt 1911). Had a rubberized hand grip and all that.

You've seen my replica 1911, right? Silver plated with Mother of Pearl custom hand grips - a Llama .22LR :

He's already done that several times....get online before the event today, a good hour or more before, and the ACRE group will all be online - massive tech help on all issues.

Most problems arise from either installing ACRE while TS3 is running, and/or not running TS3 or Arma as Administrator.

Again, sounds like he got it working...

He had dsound.dll error - forgot what fix is for that, so I'm no help here.
Looks like it's been sorted

We need to re-order the squads based on current RSVP numbers. Also, if someone who is not signed up, perhaps someone such as BLuDKLoT or whoever, would like to be a streaming cameraman, I can make it possible.

Basically, we make an independant slot, make independants neutral to all sides, give him 117 and 148, and full use of GCam (gigan's flying camera module). He will be able to record video, and transmissions over certain main command radio channels. Invincibility and neutrality will allow him to teleport on map click within range of radios, but also ensure that cameraman is ignored by battles.

I don't relish the though of leading Charlie again with 2 fireteams I've never worked with/are extremely new to ACE and ACRE. Any chance Jager or any other LAMBS trained players would help us to round this out???

I asked that same question about the 1911 .45, and all the shooters up where I go camping told me I'd be best off with an original Colt 1911 - as in old, original, from the era (in good condition).

I love it.
One thing, though, I was disgusted by the underwater takedown at what looked like 50m with a UMP I believe. There was a bit of a wait, too, before the impact, as if.

I don't care if it was a .50 monster sniper rifle, no bullet is going to travel more than spitting distance in water. Perhaps it was a mistake, and these underwater physics and ballistics are just a pre-alpha demonstration not meant to be taken literally.

I hope...

Dude! What does mine say? Sweet!
