Yes, the PS3 controller is a little pricier but you can use Sixaxis with MotionJoy's DS3 tool (though personally, I find it clunky and awkward). I find the PS3 controller much more suited to my hands...
This appeals massively. Unfortunately, I haven't have a lot of time for ArmA over the past week or so. Will these training sessions continue as a regularly, occasionally or just arise as and when...
This is good news; I'm rooting for BIS to sort out the current issues and triumph!
Does sound interesting, but it'd need to fit around my inconvenient work hours. Does this Duala Island mod require ACRE / ACE?
Cross-posting from the Folk forums. Didn't have a lot of success with this session; I think it was all the birthday cake.
Highway
I slotted as Alpha 1 (?) AT and arrived at the way-point. FTL...
The War Z gameplay style, assuming it will be action-MMORPG based on pure conjecture, would only alienate current players of DayZ. A system which encourages co-operation whilst staying within the...
Indeed, the worst thing about multiplayer is the people. But it can also be the best thing, which is why I really hope DayZ does introduce some sort of system to aid co-operation. It'd be much better...
I think the faction idea is a solid one, but would need to be done very carefully to avoid making the game too segregated.
I think NPCs would be hated by almost all of the DayZ playerbase. The...
I've posted this here rather than in the Arma sub-forum as I want to discuss the players of these games and the social systems in place for their interaction.
I recently had a proper look at The...
I'm so glad that my plan to introduce Outcast to this discussion has been thwarted several times. It means it's still in our hearts and minds. I don't understand the dislike of the voxel engine, I...
I've had nothing but bad luck with DayZ's non-dead population since I started. A few people on the RPS Mumble channel have been helpful in an auditory way, but I've never met any of them physically...
I'm in. This mod looks excellent.
I'm (belatedly, mod-download-and-installation-attemptingly) in.
EDIT: highlight of the final mission:

I've exhausted Netflix's supply of Archer and Bob's Burgers alas, so now I'm watching Monk, around two episodes a day. It's OCD-Columbo!
Also, after recently getting into ArmA 2, I wanted some...
Just noticed this cross-posting thread. So, from the Folk forum:
Two Days To Retirement
My first mission with the folk from Folk, I thought it best to stick close to a familiar name. One I'd...
I just encountered one of them - I've not seen a spambot do that before.
Do bots ever create avatars? If not, would forcing an avatar to be chosen on sign-up, even if it's an 'invisible' or blank...
The down-side to open back (if in headset variety) is that the sound leakage is easily picked up by the mic which can lead to a horrific feedback loop which can only be solved by reducing the volume...
I'm about half-way through Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter at the moment (and loving it), but starting to pine for some trashy space science fiction. I find myself...
I came here to post this. Abuse is one of the first PC (Linux) games I played and it's brilliant. Superb atmosphere, wonderful sound design (although when I first played, I didn't even have a sound...
I'd been desperate for ArmA 2: CO for ages and, after missing the £14.99 sale on the BI store, went and bought it for full price £19.99 (equivalent to the 20% discount on Steam). Two days later,...
Does this mean that the only way to start again from scratch is to die 'naturally' (or unnaturally) in-game?
I haven't connected to the ARPS server since this patch came out, so I'm not sure if this still applies, but I just posted here that verifying the integrity of files in Steam worked for me...
This may be really obvious, but in case anyone has any concerns: after updating to the latest beta patch (I forget which build), verifying the files on Steam to be compatible with ARPS / Folk servers...
