Got Arma 2 + Arrowhead on the Steam Special and really enjoying them. Looking to get the Brit expansion pack, but it back up to full price. Anyone have it, whats is like? worth £7.99?
 
Hi

I'm trying to join a server on this game though they all have red icons not green.
I use steam so should be up to date also using Ace Mods how do i get more Green servers to join.

Top Game Better than Black Ops by far.

Servers that dont allow mods like ace will show red. Green means its accepted. Ace mod should only be used on ACE servers or it can make problems. if someone uses ace on a non ace server then it could cause bugs or server crashes. If you want more green servers then untick the ace mod from the expanions tab on main menu.

Also on a lot of servers you need the original Arma 2 because them addons are used with OA addons on many servers or u just get auto kicked for missing addons

Like I said well worth it compared to lite. All video settings on normal 1680 x 1040 (image resized) post processing set to very low.
 
yes but you can download the missions from most game servers and then you will use the lite version if you play them online.
 
£8 for high res textures is a bit too much imo.

especially when project reality mod will add high res textures and re models of the BAF for free

Official Statement

Project Reality over the last few months have been in discussions with BI, and a joint agreement has been made, that gives Project Reality Exclusive rights for the use of the Original BAF Files within its Modification. I have personally signed this agreement with Maruk, and ensured all my Developers who need access to these files have signed a Project Reality Agreement. Therefore we now have the original BAF Files, to allow us to rework the Models, updating as required, and adding further detail to what is already a great DLC.

Project Reality are very proud and greatful for the working relationship they have with BI, and hope that we can ensure to do the game justice in the MP environment in the near future.

This now allows the texture artists greater freedom, and professionalism to enhance the Models even further, and the whole team to concentrate on the gameplay further.

What does it mean to the Community?

1. No change at all, PR: ArmA2 will be a free to download Modification, which will still NOT require BAF to run.

2. The community get a highly detailed British Faction available to use, and will be our base standard for a whole PR British Faction, to include future UOR vehicles.

3. It allows optimised models for our MP - to ensure we keep poor server performance down to a minimum, and ensure smooth online play.

3. The PR Models however will NOT be available to rework in other Community add ons in any way at all, as they will be electronically watermarked (Traceable) and have hidden PR Layers - as per the agreement with BI. (PR EULA, will clearly state this).


As you can see, we are working hard to ensure we have a firm and detailed base for our first release, and by having this agreement in place it ensures we have the perfect start point, for the team and the whole of the MP Online players.

Wow thats impressive, I think one of the PR developers is a Major serving in the British Army but quite surprised they managed to get permission.

I guess the makers of the game figured they'd gain from greater Arma sales, that is one of the main reasons I took an interest as I dont normally play the harder core sim stuff

My stereo sucks, I continually have a problem locating the source of a sound. Fairly major disadvantage I think and when you spend 30 mins playing only to die in first firefight, these things matter :o
Anyone got a nice setup working with Arma sounds
