TheLastBaron Posted March 9, 2013 I was watching a stream for Arma 3 and saw this. It makes me want to get this game. Also the timing of the music at the end was awesome and a complete coincidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SirPocket Posted March 11, 2013 I love the one from the SpartanShield mission (the two boats) Also "sleeping" pilot Lu is pretty hilarious. You got a pretty sick rig toblix! Werry werry nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youmeyou Posted March 11, 2013 I'll try and join you guys next time! Playing the first mission gave me strong Ghost Recon vibes. I think me and Arma will get along nicely. add me on steam if you haven't! (youmeyou) Whens next time? Also yeah, speaking of rigs. I have SLI'd 660tis and can seem to force the game above 30 fps even at medium settings. hope it gets cleared up after launch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirPocket Posted March 11, 2013 We'll play again next weekend. Not sure on the day yet. Maybe both! we will start around 7pm GMT. Looking forward playing with you xD I play with one Saphire 6850HD. I need to put the settings all the way down to get a decent 45-50 frames. But still experience frame drops in big fights and rain. Soon ill install my second 6850HD, hope I can crank up the settings a bit then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scratch Posted March 14, 2013 So as part of buying Arma 3 in it's Alpha phase we recieved 3 invites to "Arma 3 alpha lite". I am assuming "lite" would mean it's lacking in some features, but you should still be able to play with other Idle Thumbs folk. Steam just notified me that I have those invites now. If anyone wants to give Arma 3 a go before buying it for themselves let me know. This way, maybe we can gather a larger group for our weekend excursion.

Lu Posted March 14, 2013 Alas, no multiplayer in the lite version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geremy Tibbles Posted March 14, 2013 I'm down to shoot mans in the Video games. Also, a question a suggestion. 1. We should use that sweet ACRE mod when it comes out that adds in cool sounding radios. 2. Does anyone else have problems with mumble where it's WAAAAY too sensitive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirPocket Posted March 15, 2013 I think most of us usses push to talk. And yea mumble is very sensitive. I can hear every detail of toblix breathing. and screaming. whats your steam id Geremy? The lite version is basicly a sneak peak in the single player. So no free arma3 MP guys. Next event: 16-03 7 PM GMT. Check OP for more info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirPocket Posted March 15, 2013 Well its not that bad. I like to exaggerate a bit now and then xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scratch Posted March 15, 2013 See that's why I mute my mic 90% of the time. But then occassionally you hear me choke on my crisps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geremy Tibbles Posted March 15, 2013 Because of the house I'm in, and because my mic is apparently already super sensitive, you can not only hear my PC running through the table, but what people are doing on the other side of the house. :| I need to get a new mic.
