ARMA 2 is out at the endof the month. are there plans to try this as a supported game.

Looks very good from the trailers

If there is interest then yes. I'd post your question in the member forums and see what sort of interest and response their is. Our providing a server does of course assume that we'll get access to the server files!

yes we will be able to run a server

Whitey · June 03, 2009, 01:12:36 PM

I had a look at this yesterday and I definitely think we should get a server up and running once there's one available.

Armitage · June 03, 2009, 01:16:46 PM

If we build it they will come

If whitey can get one running, lets try and be in at the launch of a game..

from what i can see on the official website it looks nice, pretty much a pretty looking COD4, with "aparently" no pre-defined storylines in singleplayer, intresting to how they would do that.......

does look intresting tho.

i think a few of us have a copy. what about a co-op server

Whitey · June 20, 2009, 10:49:08 AM

My copy of the game hasn't arrived yet but I'll be trying to get a server up and running when it does. They haven't made it easy to run a dedicated server with the only one available requiring the main game files from the DVD and a German beta of the dedicated server exe :sideways:

From the reviews, I think this game could be great in co-op with a squad of dMw'ers :boxing:

Armitage · June 23, 2009, 07:13:11 AM

Whitey, has your copy turned up yet?

Whitey · June 23, 2009, 08:11:24 AM

I was expecting it yesterday but it didn't arrive so hopefully today.

If it does then I'll get it installed on my PC tonight but depending on how much I need to upload to the server I wouldn't expect a dedicated server running before the weekend. (why the hell didn't they release a full dedicated server package for download?) :sideways:

Whitey · June 23, 2009, 01:14:08 PM

It's arrived! I'll get on it when I get home.

sheepy · June 23, 2009, 03:35:10 PM

I was just checking my account was active and it is! (thanks for invite):flirty:

I'm installing ARMA II now. I'll check the size I need to upload once it's done.

UPDATE: This isn't good, I need to upload 8.4GB to the server using FTP at an upload speed of between 40 and 60 KB/s it would take 48 hours to upload. I'll see if I can split it up and compress it to make it doable.

UPDATE 2: The files can be split up easily. I'll batch them up into a reasonable size and upload them to the server over night. It will be a few days to do them all.

It'll be hard work and I may be kicking and screaming. :flirty:

I had a quick try at the training missions and can see it will take a lot of getting used to. Far too many keys needed for my liking but the graphics look good and I'm sure it will play well once I learn all those keys.

I'll post here when I've got all the files uploaded (the one last night failed half way but I was able to resume this morning before leaving for work). If it's ready for Sunday (should be), we can post up some details in the ARMA II thread for a co-op session.
