I really wished I was capable of playing this game. The level of depth and the sheer collaborative aspect of the entire thing is mind-numbingly enthralling. It trumps the coercive communication and intriguing teamwork that was once present in the once not-so-shit SOCOM series. Now, with the SOCOM series taking on the appears of that crappy FPS, Call of Duty, I've got nothing on par to play.

It is times like this that I wished my computer wasn't so crap that it renders me incapable of playing the game. If I had a better computer, I'd definitely give this a try. Till then, FML.

ARMA 3 looks like it's going to be interesting. Apparently it's set a few years in the future, against a modernized opponent. Both sides will use UAVs and future weapon systems.

I wanna see some combat L.A.S.E.R.s, or maybe a railgun.

You could always try Operation Flashpoint (2001). Its the predecessor of Arma and although the graphics are dated (but the system requirements are equaly low) the game (combined with the fantastic E.C.P mod) is very simular.

If you want to join us, the best way to find out if we're playing or not, is to join the DFC group chat on steam or friend me. The teamspeak info is available on the group page in steam, and when we're playing you can just ask us what server we're on.

Anyone here still playing this? I'd like to get back into it seeing as I've missed every multiplayer opportunity so far.

I still do, although I've been on a Mount and Blade kick lately.  I may look into hosting a game sometime soon-ish, I'll post here if I do.

I'll join if we all get together, coop right?

The one I joined we were running Warfare mode against AI.  I haven't fooled with any of the regular co-op missions yet, but I'd be up for giving that a try.

Not much good at stealth, but I'm good at long range sniping, tank driving, and piloting anything with wings.

I've been playing Combined Ops, but I've got nothing against hosting a regular Arma 2 game, especially if that gets more people in game.  I'd recommend getting Operation Arrowhead if you get the chance, though, it adds several new maps, more vehicles, and apparently runs smoother, although I didn't notice much difference on my machine.

2.7GB left on Arma 2, heh.  I don't think I'm getting OA anytime soon though, I just can't see putting down 40 dollars for a game right now. (Green Man Gaming price since thats what I have Arma 2 on)

Operation Arrowhead does indeed run better, so if that's a priority for you, Rilder, then I suggest you pick up OA too.

That being said, is there any way to dramatically increase my FPS without buying new hardware or dropping my resolution to 500x400? I already have most of the settings on Very Low, with the exception of Graphical Memory, which is set to Very High. Is that what's slowing me down?
