    Arma 3 flinching mechanics

    This is extremely unrealistic. I recommend watching some videos of real hand grenade explosions, which are mostly fragmentation grenades. Bodies close to it are penetrated by shrapnel and are not tossed around not even a single meter, let alone fly 20+ meters through the air. This isn't hollywood.

    That saved my day.

    Info on upcoming 1.08 patch

    Good work. If BIS now fixes the server reporting bug, I'll praise them on my knees. Sort of.

    1.05 Server Appearing/Dissapearing

    Actually .. if I had spent the amount of money on server hardware and software for the sole purpose of playing Armed Assault, like Nightmare has .. I'd be pretty damn ticked off as well. I agree that people should treat each other with respect, but on the other hand I've worked in several support departments, for several well known IT companies, and regarding my experience, a professionally working company can deal with angry customers without kicking them out of the line or denying them access to support interfaces ( like this forum is one, generally spoken ) A server that can not be accessed by public players who are not aware of the IP address is of little to no value. And severely asking to give this bug a higher priority ( after 6 months ) has not so much to do with a demanding attitude, but rather with justified expectation towards a software company who is seeking to improve their product. The fact that we've been asked to submit an Ethereal packet interception log ( which we did ages ago ) makes me wonder if BIS is using a ticket system like Remedy or something at all. Personally I am very disappointed about the current situation as well I have to say. @ Sickboy: Is there just *anything* useful you have to contribute to solve this issue ? Frankly, it does not really matter what your personal definition of a clan server is. My two cents.

    What's The Obsession With Coop?

    First of all I sort of agree to the topic title. There's a tad too many coop servers up, playing coop all day long, while you really have to look for a decent 10vs10 player CTF/C&H or the like. On the one hand I really love cooperative missions. Especially when played as a team, with a teamspeak server and people you know. They offer a great atmosphere and last as long as a good movie. On the other hand nothing gives me an adrenaline rush but a PvP map. Because you face *smart* enemies that actually *think*. (Exceptions prove the rule.) I'd love to see a balanced number of coop & pvp servers running, so everyone has something to choose from.

    How do you do the side roll move???

    As far as I know it's double pushing the left/right key ?

    M82 anti-material sniper rifle?

    The actual penetration capability of 0.50 CAL gauges is around 34mm steel. This particular chart is for the 0.50 Machinegun, but the Barret should be similar, unless the muzzle velocity is way higher. Chart EDIT: Image too big. Replaced with link

    Women civilians

    I would vote for adding children. Nothing makes a war as horrible as corpses of children, and even seeing this simulated should make everyone ponder about the abyss which every conflict represents. I just fear they'd censor ArmA pretty quickly then.

    Locks up at "Wait for Host"

    START => Run => netsh winsock reset Not sure if that has an effect but that is how you trigger it.

  15. Hey Kiwi. I didn't mean to come off smart, but your post indicates you know little-to-nothing about software developement. You bought a really nice PC there, and your hardware is not really the problem. Your operating system is. I've been a 1st level support engineer in real life for a couple of years now. I work for a huge insurance companies IT department, and we have several applications designed to work under certain operating systems. We especially have web based applications, and those were designed, using the ActiveX componenets os the IE6. When a user calls me who wants to open a support ticket because one of the web applications does not work, and I see he has Mozilla installed .. I tell him: No support. You must use the IE6. All I want to say is: Set up a dual boot system and install the game under XP. If the problem isn't solved by that I'll offer support until it is.
