Cap'n (DayZ)

Its that island about 30-40 kilometers away from Skalisty! I spawned there once.

You could download a Windows compatibility program and then purchase it off of Windows Steam. There are a few videos online of people running ArmA 2 off of Linux, most are using Mint. Not 100% sure, I'd suggest you stick with Windows.

It creates tension knowing that everything you've worked for is at risk every second of the day, and that you'll have to work for it all over again if you die. Blank slate, as I call it.

Damn Gews, have you ever considered getting an upgrade?

The 7870 is good enough to run max settings, it has to do with your CPU. Its...its...its hit. You need an upgrade. Otherwise your going to downgrade on the graphics settings.

70-80 FPS, 720p resolution @ 75hz refresh rate. Radeon HD 7950, FX 8350. Ultra, High AA 40-45 FPS, 900p resolution @ 120hz refresh rate. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 OC'ed, Intel Core i7 720qm High, Normal AA AA looks better on the laptop for some strange reason, older GPU and the older AA tech works better I guess.

Buddy, a mid range GPU from 2006 isn't going to run this game smoothly on even low settings. You shouldn't be making recommendations buddy.

I'd much rather suffocate someone by shoving my dick down their throat.

Doubt it.

Hello everyone, I am here to ask a very important question. In a short time indeed, the standalone will be released and we will be set loose upon the newly revamped land of Chernarus. Among these new features, are two islands off the coast. One of these may be familiar to some ArmA players and Private hive players. Utes, an island housing an airfield and military installments of the Chernarussian military, and another smaller island that we will simply call "Treasure Island". The question today is, will you remain on the mainland or become an Islander? I plan to become an islander and inhabit treasure island, and clear it of all the infection so it may be fit to live. I will make trips to Utes for new guns, and occasional trips to the mainland for food. What will you do on the islands?

Oh my, never considered that. Us islanders may have to deal with those nasty sea bandits. Like pirates, except they wear towels over their heads and have automatic rifles.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting a new laptop but I'm having trouble finding what I want. You see, the majority of decent gaming laptops carry Nvidia graphics cards. Now that's fine and all for others, but I have brand loyalty to AMD and I'd prefer to get a laptop with an AMD GPU and an Intel CPU in the sub 1000 $ dollar range. It has to be equal to or better than a GT 650m in terms of gaming performance and I'd prefer that it has an Intel CPU as AMD mobile processors aren't all that good. It should be a minimum of an i5, and I'm okay with getting a laptop that's a little older, but no too old as I'm trying to replace my current(ASUS G73Jh). I'd prefer a quick response, and no trolling/fanboyism. (I understand some of you have a prejudice against laptops, but I'm asking an honest question and stop being assholes and telling people to get a desktop. They are usually getting a laptop for a reason!)

Yeah, I never really played Operation Arrowhead much. I think the only good campaign is the one in the base game, and the DLCs are just for having new things to play with.

Still, the pint is that this could save time and development money for the devs and it would also offer a way to show our creativity. Not everyone wants a pure PvP deathmatch walled in loot center. I'm actually creating a map right now, based off of Sat images of the North Carolina Piedmont. I'd love to have this map in standalone, and I think it would make the game much more creative if we could make our own maps. Say there was a small fee, or the maps are server exclusive.

I'll go look for him. All the Chernarussians have a funny voice, like Frenchmen on helium.

Fine. I remember that from the first mission in ArmA. You could hang out with that CDF dude if he hasn't turned yet. He was pretty cool.

Cheese cloth? Where can I find this "cheese cloth"?

If we just happen to join the same server, we'll either have to share or fight for the island...I CALL AIRFIELD!

We could run a joint business venture. You could sell boats and I could sell roadflares and assorted ammunition.

Would I be considered "well known" by any measure? I'd love to show you the camp, tell some stories, and show you the life of the road flare master.

There are two islands, one mainly military and the other is all low level civilian loot. There will be a sublet of population on those two islands, and I'm planning on being one of the first to move. The islands will have everything needed for basic survival; food, water, varied equipment and a mixture of low and high level weaponry. I already know Utes very well, from countless missions in multiplayer in ArmA 2. Its about two to three times the size of an average BF3 map, and those maps house 24-64 players and there is still a lull in combat at times. With the majority of the server(80-95%) on the mainland, competition will not be too huge. You could make friends with the new neighbors, or kill them and send them back to the mainland. Either way, the swim alone would prevent most newspawns. I'd imagine some would come in the beginning to explore, but most will stick to the mainland. I'd see Utes as more of a place to loot and the smaller island below it as a place to live and hide loot. Either way, I'll avoid the mainland and move to the islands upon release.

Chernarus, as awesome as it is, will get boring after a while. Is it such a bad thing splitting into different sublets of players? If we all share the same loot tables and similar buildings, whats the difference between the base map and the rest other than physical appearance. Not much if you ask me.

Will female players need tampons? Could this possibly deter some of the cross dressing that is so common among the community?

I'm afraid the player populations will split between the Islanders and the Mainlanders. I'm planning on moving to Utes anyways, and setting up a trading post and medical base. Hopefully not too many of those nasty mainlanders will intrude upon our peace.

Ah...the PKM. It must be implemented some day, some day. But anyways, I prefer the RPK over all. Handles like an assault rifle yet has the capacity of a LMG. Has decent accuracy too. Plus common ammo. And it looks cool.
