Damn that's awesome. Would be sweet just seeing people from the air and going down and destroying them
To the people playing, check out the J.S.R.S soundmod

Replaces the somewhat bland vanilla sounds with some crazy good ones, even a distance script so sounds are calculated on distance to object etc.
Also use the Alpinestars ArmA II Launcher for mod management, settings, profiles etc.

Hahahaha oh god, the helicopter. If you have a helicopter in this game you're pretty much god.

One thing I find nasty is that when you are killed by another player, the global report just states "X was killed." It does not confirm the name of the murderer.
I stumbled around the corner of an open shipping container last night - got sloppy - and there was someone holed up in it. Whether out of malice or surprise, he emptied his Makarov into me and that was that. I did not have time to swing my cursor over his character in order to learn his name. My dreams of vengeance were thus thwarted before they could begin.
Of course, players can always change their names anyway...

I admit that made me laugh.edit: "He's Russian, but he's not THAT Russian" ROFL!!

I agree. It also solves tons of hard design problems for online games, like inflation, or the lopsided importance of "end-game" content.

I agree somewhat, but I'd hate to get my months old character dying due to a lag pike / connection lost. Server acting funny and what else.
Love the concept of perma death for rpg though.
But then there's the fuel
If this gets big there's gonna be a whole economy!!!!

I would pay so much money for a Shawn Elliot webisode series like this. Seems like the perfect game for his kind of exploits.

Going to buy CO when I get home. Sucks that you can't just run your own server right now.
Checked the forums and you can't use this (J.S.R.S) with DayZ at this point, the mod is not compatible with other mods right now (alpha).

Watched that series of videos and really want to try it out, hope there is a steam sale on the horizon.

This looks absolutely fascinating. I might actually buy that ARMAII thing just to try this out, assuming there is a price drop or sale in the near future.
You might wanna download Arma2 demo to see how it runs I have a i5 cpu and only getting like 30 fps on high.

Isn't the Arma 2 demo unoptimised as fuck because it's based on the game pre-patches?
The demo is incredibly unoptimised, fully patched the game runs significantly better.

i think we have enough people to coordinate and enter a server at the same time. I was going to hold off until a month or so when i have my new computer but i can still run it on my current one. The game just looks so interesting and intense. My only gripe with it at the moment is there are no melee weapons/barracades at the moment, which may be added in for all i know.
an i5 isn't that awesomely good. It's fast, but 30fps high for arma isn't that bad.
I bloody hope they will implement building structurs (as in ArmA2) would be SOOOO cool.

This looks pretty exciting, I might have to buy Combined Ops at some point and try this out when I get the time. It'll be interesting to see where they go with this.

Fuck this mod is so good, even at this alpha stage. I'm enjoying watching videos and reading survivor stories nearly as much as playing it.
Really would like to join a group though eventually, those "The days ahead" videos make grouping up look like so much fun.
