I managed to fly over the Small island off the top right of the map and also fly over the oil rigs. Is it possible to land on the rigs and is there anything on them?

Thanks. I'd heard someone talk about requiring the "Origins" pack, I assume that's not needed then?

I'm REALLY low on food and despite playing for a couple of hours I've not found anything. Where is the food?!?

The answer is simple and something I do if I want to level up; go on a sparsely populated server with like 3 players max. The chances of being sniped are far far lower.

Surely, when you have your sniper rifle and ammo, map, compas, NVG, hatchet, knifte, entrenching tool, barbed wire, food, drinks, etc. etc. etc. and you* STILL kill someone who's been in the game 30 mins then where's the justification in that? * by saying "you" I'm making a generalisation of bandits.

I would much rather say "Hi" to someone and then enjoy the interaction than shoot them in the back without having seen me. Seems people like this are in the minority. I'm guessing that it would be mostly people in the bracket of 'younger gamer' that enjoy just pulling the trigger.

+1, I was the same. Had NO IDEA what direction to go in and eventually ended up against the western edge. So some 30 mins of running I got to the air base where people were trying and failing to use the heli's :) I want to try this off-line editor mode, just to have a look around the map. But if I enable the mod in ArmA2 then the "Single Player" option isn't available. How do I start the map in the editor?

I managed to capture this video of a hacker teleporting...

There's well over 5k servers now, so what's the advantage to paying money to host a server?

How can someone follow you between servers? There's around 5,000 of them.

Exactly. Why you'd need more than 1 for a car or ATV is beyond me.

Erm.... that ain't Scottish... I'm 41 by the way.

No

Most of the issues are ArmA2 bugs. As you know, Beta patches are coming out regularly so maybe it is being addressed.

So many videos show sound effects or other stuff played over voice chat. How do you actually do that?

Is there a maximum time where you can be AFK (Away From Keyboard) in the game? (other than dying of thirst/hunger) Reason for asking is that other games like BF3 only allow you a few minutes.

What does the in-game resolution tell you it is set to - 1200?

ALT-F4 doesn't work on most servers for me, I have to ESC - Abort - Disconnect - Quit. Is it a thing that can be disabled?

There seem to be a lot of players on Skype, some on TeamSpeak, others just using the game. Here's a poll asking what you use to see which is most popular. Edited to include Steam chat.

Updated to include Steam voice chat.

I've been following ArmA since its roots in Operation Flaspoint 11 years ago and I have all the DVD's including the expansions. I know its popular on Steam now and I suspect that most Steam users have bought ArmA2 for the DayZ mod.

Erm, that'll still be a retail DVD version won't it?

It looks like the issue is with Windowed mode, why not go full screen?

I'm interested too in a friendly server. However I can see how this would also be abused by PvP trolls. To the OP - in light of the comments above can you re-post the details please and let us know if its fully updated etc?
