How much is the kit going for as I am seriously tempted. I do not really play flight sims so it would be used mainly for Ama2.
*******Official Armed Assault 2 thread of official officialness*******

Sorry to hijack. But How fine do you reckon with a high end Dual Core CPU with the GFX Card?
I have a dual core @ 4000 and I have also seen a post from one of the devs saying that a slightly higher clocked dual core should match a quad.
Sorry nizzle I meant a 4890
I see there is a very good deal going http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-124-XF&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1403

Theres a whole bunch of us on the OcUK Arma 2 server right now
Poor Muffin hehehe
Had a good time on there tonight havent really played TDM but was pretty fun
It's pretty expensive and to be honest I only got it because I also play DCS Blackhawk+other flight sims, and LFS and iRacing.
It has to be said though, that I also played ArmA 1 with trackIR and I would really miss not having it. Once you get used to it, it feels so natural.
Link to dealers if you want to check prices

Nice link to "ArmA2 tactics and techniques and procedures guide" found on the BIS forums.
Just finished the first couple of campign missions really satisfying, even if I did just follow my squad, reminded me of the satisfaction of bagging my first buck in The Hunter.
This game really is vast on lots of levels.

that guide is amazing, so deep, makes good reading, love all the team techniques etc. anyone in a arma clan or joining one? im looking for a friendly clan, would probly bring some friends too
I fukken love this game and damn I wish other developers had the balls to try to create something this vast and ambitious. Seriously, what other game is even comparable. The game world is gorgeous and huuuuge. Just grab a motorcycle or civilian car and go sightseeing.

Wow, was a big fan of Op Flashpoint, but somehow missed out on the first ARMA game. Been playing this all night, and despite the fact I'm rubbish at it and keep dying, getting some strange graphical bugs sometimes, it doesn't run that great on my Q6600, 4gb and 8800GTX, well despite all that I'm really enjoying it. It's loads of fun and the gameworld is mint
I love how you can test drive stuff in the armoury and it has turned it into a game with you getting offered missions in the world to unlock new stuff. I just spent the last hour playing as a chicken on the run from game hunters and local wildlife
it's mad how much they've crammed into this game.
