the only real benefit is not having to open up steam overlay. But if you have a second monitor with the map set up you won't ever need one.I've just been using an outside map for town identification and heard a bunch of praise for the map so I guess I expected more. Turns out it's less useful than the web :

I need you to PM me the exact time this happened. If someone said something before it happened, if you can remember their name, I can use that too.EDIT: Holy shit, Dallas 19 just suffered some kinda massive bug that killed everyone. Managed to abort in time. :
I'm going out to get food, eat, and once I'm back I will start my "weekend survival project". Pictures, .gifs, and video incoming once something interesting happens.
Spawned right outside Elektro and went in to have a look
Found a lot of survival gear, but most importantly: a tent
Leaving Elektro and having one last look of the shithole
Today I lost my character of 10 days.
I did the friendly dance
Since this has come up a couple times, what is the friendly dance?

Scale and terrain detail. Creative Director Ivan Buchta gave me an exclusive look at Limnos by hopping around different points Arma 3’s editor. It’s more beautiful and authentic than any developer- or player-made island I’ve seen in Arma.
Myrina, its largest city, is easily two or two and a half times the area of Chernogorsk (Arma 2’s largest city). But it’s not just “more objects;” the variety of structures and the detail they’re granted makes the terrain feel much more developed and authentic. Buchta showed me an enterable airport terminal, a cemetery, a power plant, school playground, high school athletics track, a beach with colored umbrellas stuck into the sand, and a basketball court at night, lit by floodlights.
Exploring Limnos is going to be a joy. I can’t wait to fight in these areas; structures instantly appeared and felt less static, and less like cardboard facsimiles, as they sometimes do in A2. 80-90 percent of the buildings I saw were enterable.
Oh god and its alpha!What hardware were they running it on and how smooth did it play? (@erockbart)
Very, very smoothly. A frame counter wasn’t visible, so don’t interpret this as scientific, but I felt I was running at 50-60+ frames throughout the demo. Bohemia was running a Core i7 at 3.2 GHz and a single GTX 580. Not low-end equipment, certainly, but I wouldn’t call that exotic, either. I encountered one or two microscopic hitches while helicoptering, but the game behaved extremely well overall. There was no noticeable dip in framerate when I right-click zoomed in most situations, and gunfire/explosions had zero effect on performance. The largest mission I had probably had 20-25 enemy infantry (and an enemy vehicle) scattered across a kilometer or two, plus my six or seven-man squad
[93542] New: MP Statistics screen (key I) contains the Server hostname
[93528] Fixed: Max distance for DirectChat raised from 20m to 40m
There's a new OA beta patch out, with a couple of changes most likely influenced by DayZ.
Both are greatly welcomed.

So I just found a bike but I don't know the server name, I assume if you save a vehicle it'll only be on that server? What do I do? :/
Edit: nevermind, bike fell over and now i cant use it
I'll update the server right away. Both are needed.
Edit: Updated. I'm also testing different max ping thresholds on both Dallas 19 and TX 8. Seems like overall if we limit people to 200 max (extended period of time) it improves the ping on the server. Does anyone here get over 200 consistently?
Remember where you found that bike and use it. Then when you jump into antoher server, go to that same place and see if you can find one.
Don't think it works that way, has to be the same server you found the bike on
DO NOT INSTALL THE MOST RECENT BETA PATCH - It's not Battleye Certified yet, so you will get kicked. This is a client side issue only. 93586 is certified, so that can be used.

You both click on the same server......
so u just have to write out the name of the server and then send it to your friend who has to look for it by name? Cool, reminds me of 1997

Notsureifserious
If the server name is TX 8 for example, you put "TX 8" in the filter and it pops up. Then you both join............a few buttons taps and mouse clicks away, nothing major.
Honestly, he has a point. The game has no server history, no favorites and no way to directly jump into a friend game. You can't even check the server name when you are in-game.
Those are valid things to complain about.

OUR NEW SERVER NAME WILL BE US 38
well, first spawn ever lasted approximately 30s. Killed a zombie and then a player killed me. Does GAF play on a certain server?
please enlighten me ?
Man, the more I read about this the more I think I want to give it a try.
Yeah I was on the fence and waiting for a steam sale before I'd decide to bite the bullet but I just couldn't wait. Now before I start installing anything do I need both arma II and Operation arrowhead or will just operation arrowhead suffice?
