Hi guys, I cant take it any more!! I spend hours watching ARMA videos on you tube and I HAVE TO PLAY THIS ASAP!!! I joined this community because I have decided to jump in the wagon. Unfortunately I have a mac book pro:

I'm planning to partition 50GB of my HDD and install Windows VIA Bootcamp. This version of windows will be solely for the purpose of playing ARMA OA and all add-ons I can possibly load.

a) Will the game run decent on his machine?
b) What version of Windows should I install for optimum performance?
c) How do I go about starting a petition to have ARMA developed for Mac OS too? ( lol already started here:http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=111203 )

Thanks guys and looking forward to meeting you online.

I know you're new but:

1) There is a sticky "Will my PC run this" (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=72181) thread for this sort of question.

2)

ยง22) Use descriptive thread titles
If you start a new thread, please make sure your thread title explains what you want without forcing people to read through your post first. Thread titles such as "How in the world do I...", "Need help!" or "Will we ever see..." are anything but descriptive. We do not allow these kind of titles and threads with such titles are subject to be closed.


Please do not act as Rambo in this forums, you won't get very far. :)
