Was browsing Kotaku and saw this article
http://kotaku.com/59...-game-ever-made

That led me to YouTube from searching



Does anybody play this game. Looks buggy but fun

I've been watching more and more videos of this and it looks great. Just not sure how well it will run on my rig.

I've been playing it for the past few days, its awesome.

It's ARMA so it's buggy but very enjoyable as a basic mod, he only released it as a small scale test but it blew up popularity wise.

Yeah saw the article on Kotaku and really wanted to check it out, but alas I do not own Arma II. Gonna wait for a Steam Sale and then check it out.

How well would it run on a sort of older rig : e2200 o'ced to 3ghz. 4gig ram but only ddr2 and unsure of speed at the moment as I am on work computer. GT240 1gb Nvidia....

I've seen reports of core i5's getting crap fps, so I haven't even bothered. But if I could have a chance to play this, I'd so buy it right now lol.

I believe you need arma 2 and one of the expansions... I could be wrong on the expansion part.

Sorry I'm not sure, I have a Core i5, 4Gb Ram, ATI 5850 and I have it maxed out. Check out http://www.arma2.com/free its only 1Gb, the textures are low res but it will give you an idea of how the game will run.

You need ARMA 2 and Operation Arrowhead.

You are right. Should have been more specific in my comment, but I remember seeing a bundle on Steam for both awhile back.

Just wanted to make sure no one was disappointed upon buying it, and then realizing they need to spend more :p

It's pointless getting into a group, you spawn randomly along the coast, you have no map, no compass, only a gun, limited ammo and a few supplies, you have to scavenge the rest.

There is a demo on the main site, should be able to judge performance from that
