Nine Inch Nails? + Operation Flashpoint (or arma…)?

Oh hell yes.

I’ve been making custom made user missions with NIN tracks for ages. Nothing beats the feeling of playing as part of a rag-tag group of irregular rebel forces fighting an invading superior mechanised and air-support fielded force (usually western) with Head Like a Hole (the Devo remix) blaring out in the background as you race away on foot from the oil wells you just blew up as part of a scorched earth mission.

Good times, good times…

Awesome music video btw.

I wonder if ArmA would bluescreen my perfectly good modern system for no discernible reason, pleading an apparently non-existent IRQL error, like a certain fucking Operation Flashpoint…

Say, I wonder if that’s a legitimate ‘reason I deserve cheering up’… Money back please, Bohemia.

mmm, I’ve never known why comps insist on giving postal addresses for entries when they already have a contact channel via your email entry. Unless it’s to sell on of course…

@Novack

I got an email reply to my entry asking for my mailing address, so I’m jumping out on the assumption they chose the winners. Dunno if they ever intend on posting the winners or not.

I probably have a good enough reason to get this, but my PC isn’t powerful…actually, that’s a bad way of putting it. Let me rephrase: My PC is too weak to play it. :(

It’s broken in single player, but with a good scenario maker and a solid team of 20 or so, it’s the best tactical multiplayer game made.

Of course, you have to have that solid group of 20, which is why I sold my copy to a clan-minded buddy. I’m about 80/20 single/multiplayer :/

If you want to hook up with a dedicated and disciplined group, check out Shack Tactical; the guy running it is insanely dedicated.

You have to give props to a game that allows you to, in order to destroy an enemy column, ambush them in the middle of a town with improvised car bombs, causing massive civilian casualties in the process.

It is a very broken game, but it has massive balls.

Whooa that’s one hell of a video.

There isn’t enough Nine Inch Nails in game videos, dammit.Already downloading the High-Res version.

Too bad I never played ArmA, but Flashpoint was great and I am looking forward to ArmA 2.

I don’t remember ArmA having graphics anywhere near that good when I tried it at release?!?

I didn’t enjoy the demo, the AI in this is terrible and for a game that prides itself in being realistic and true to real warfare it is foolish. On one mission you have to blow up a bridge, your whole team runs off to some hill on the other side of town to leave you alone running amongst a number of tanks, because thats real.

Project Reality is better imo for online pleh.
