I keep getting the "Error creating 3D 9" when I try to launch the alpha now. The only solutions I can fiond are for the Steam version and not the retail.

3DP is being removed anyway' date=' so this bug will resolve itself. [/quote'] There's a reason why 1st person only servers are not full all the time: preference. People like 3rd person view and so they try to join (even veteran) servers with this feature enabled. If people like it, there is no reason to remove it. inb4 thees is a harcore gamez not for CoD noobz, etc, etc, bullshit. People play 3DP because its safer and theyre far too attached to their items. No one has ever given any other reason why they play in 3DP other than "I can see around corners and over walls" Remove 3DP. Ive seen plenty of reasons beyong looking over walls etc. For instance even with head bob slider all the way down it is still disorienting for people with visual acuity issues. If we didnt have iron sights at the touch of a button, or 3rd to 1st person view at the touch of a button I might see it as an issue but for now having a choice means more people playing the game.

Well I do like the increase in Zed difficulty but I do have a question about how to deal with these things at night now. For instance a chemlight used to illuminate a Zed before he saw me, now they see me while prone long before they step into the illuminated area. So can we negotiate at night now and survive or is it server hop to daytime servers only? Suggestions? (And go play CoD is not a suggestion I can use, I am serious about wanting to play at night)

YES Im open to experimentation and we wont know until we try. These words are so I make twenty word post.

Yes, 10 - 15 minutes he would not have gotten all those items replaced.

There was an old blood addon in OFP. I havent seen one since but its plausible if the game can handle more resource usage.

Just as the above post said, those mysterious icons on the bottom are the people the guy that made the screenshot are commanding. Fake fake fake. This guy be trollin' Also I recommend that people that have never played ARMA 2 go ahead and play a few single player scenarious just so trolls and hackers dont confuse you so much.

I think some concessions should be made considering some get hosed on the "Waiting for server response" screen of doom. Just give us 3 chances to change maybe.

This. I rarely getbackstabbed because I dont run up to just anyone and say hey buddy, lets be pals! I sit back, watch what hey do and assist if its safe to do so. One guy lost a lot of blood so I dropped a bag on the road for him. I didnt offer a transfusion because I didnt trust him. What I didnt do was shoot him the second I saw him.

Sounds like that one went down too hard to repair.

Hey thats why Rocket is my hero too! I remember the vets putting a stop to spawn camping in Ultima, man that was great. For instance I taugh a ARMA virgin how to zero a rifle and then we went out and practiced on Zeds. Now we practice on Cherno and Elektro bandits. Now theres 4 of us that people call on to provide cover. We dont expect Rocket to fix any of these bandit problems for us. Thanks for laying it on the line Rocket.

Considering that pirating costs absolutely nothing I can't imagine why you wouldnt just try it. And before you say it costs time, the time it took to post this thread and get decent answers is about the time a decent connection could get an illegal version. Coming here asking seems like you are trying to insult the development team.

Other than the different respawn point what exactly is the difference from what we have now?

I temporarily store items, like food when I go into a town so I have moe inventory space. I never leave good items in a tent. Also when I steal from other tents I love to dump whiskey bottles in them.

Tons of people have done what you have. Thats part of why its getting so much publicity. Just remember that theres an editor and a firing range in the game you can use to practice in. Google "Kronsky" and you can download a single player version of this mod to practice in. Also, most important, pleas please dont run around shooting everything and everyone. ARMA is methodical.

I say give some of them guns. Ones that are barely turning. They have their motor skills but lost their humanity. kind of like bandits if you think about it

I'd be ok with it. Could even try to sneak up on other players and attack them.

Dry Skin: With a lot of exposure to the sun now to keep our tempurature up we are going to dry out our skin. Dry skin causes us to scratch, often times while aiming causing us to lower our weapon. Trench Foot: We spawn on the coast, walk in rain etc but never change socks. After a while we get trench foot, can get gangrene and lose a leg. While you can not loot socks you can attach an M16 as a leg just like the girl in Planet Terror.

Extensive coding, but it is a core feature of the original game. If someone as free time they could try to change it, but once yo get used to ARMA2 controls you hardly notice it.

So back before I had a hunting knife and matches I would run into chickens and goats and pigs all the damn time. I even blasted a goat through a bush because I thought it was a bandit. Now I can't find an animal anywhere. Do they spawn around towns as well? Or randomly all over?
