Should be interesting to see how they handle the trench warfare in the storyline since most of it was just push towards one trench, take it, get pushed back, regroup, repeat. 

All I know is COD getting the most dislikes ever for a gaming trailer makes me happy inside

So do we have to go through the recruitment process like all the other noobs?

No I can add you if you want no problem. 

In an effort to get my ARMA fix and desire for a larger ARMA group off the ground I have started a new organization in ARMA called the Spartan Tactical Group (Spartan Tactical or SPARTAC for short). It's based on the premise of a private military company t(o allow for the freedom to bend the rules as I see fit essentially). I've recruited two other guys with some ARMA clan management experience and explained to them the ideals I want to base the group on (mXm ) and we're starting to recruit. 

We have a dedicated server and teamspeak operational and hope to get off the ground shortly; http://spartac.net

So if you see me on a different profile with a SPARTAC affiliation that's whats up. Everyone's welcome to game with us as well

Also, just googled KSP on Win 10 and found lots of posts from people saying the run it without issues.

cant an xbox controller plug and play?  I use an XBONE controller for all other pc games and it works fine.

 

Yes it can, but I think the issue is more the amount of controls needed is somewhat limited by a controller. I think its safe to say I can engage a target, dive to cover and bring up a map to form a plan, mark it while also reporting to situation to the team over the group channel and be moving again much faster and smoother than a controller player, which can be a big factor in some of the situations.

Stance adjustment is another big one, its just hard to setup on a controller and its a useful tool controller players might miss out on:

This is just infantry commands: 

Does not include all the different binds for diving, fixed wing, rotor, driving and a few others. So it can get crazy to set up. Holding L CTRL acts as a modifier on some items which is not shown, same for R CTRL.  For example, L CTRL + G cycles grenades.  R CTRL + M is GPS.  Or double taps, Double Tap K toggles compass on screen.

ARMA3 doesnt interest me.   I am not a big fan of shooters on PC as keyboard and mouse will always destroy a controller in quickness...

Its primarily against AI, COOP that sort of thing. Balz makes it work with a PS4 controller.

Head shot?  looks like you shot that guy in the stomach!

 

I saw the pink mist in the upper chest/neck area myself.

Anyhow, when are you gonna hop on the ARMA train with us and that gaming laptop of yours?

So I pulled the trigger on phase 1 because having it all sitting there in my cart mocking me was too much.

This is the case I ended up getting:

Nice and clean, and has the option to add increase airflow if needed with a 15-20 dollar front panel kit.

All the components should arrive Wednesday. I'll be harvesting the CPU, HDD and Optical Drives from my Dell for it, but otherwise this is my first dabble into a custom build.

Watching some videos and doing some reading got me thinking about transplanting my Intel i7 Dell XPS 8700 SE to a new case with a new MOBO and adding some upgrades.

• List redacted due to changes. See my next post for updates

Further down the road if I upgrade the CPU all I'd need is another MOBO and DDR4 memory. For now my CPU does fine though. 

I don't think the ` method worked, but the radio off seems to. 

Another report says to go to configure -> game -> difficulty and disable autoreporting to do the same.

Otherewise spam away, no worries

Option 1: Select all units, set to halt. ~ key brings up command menu.

Options 2: Turn off Radio in Audio under Game Options

Does it do all the post production wipes and stuff for you? If so that's neat, if not nice work. 

Also. Around 1:12 if you hit that got it was only by a hair lol

Call of Duty gets pretty consistent postive reviews, but I just can never get into it. It always turns into 60 dollars wasted collecting dust.

Porn moguls

I'm working tonight and have a midterm tomorrow to deal with. Maybe after that but work Friday so can't be around too late. Weekends are typically  free

We should play this more. Designate a game night or something

Getting old! Happy Birthday!

​Try the 69th infantry or the 7th Cavalry servers, those are good ones. 

I've ventured into something I've never tried before. "Roleplaying" servers in which you can join gangs and rob banks or join the police or ems or whatever. Its kinda geh but kinda fun at the same time.

Anyhow, I'd love to see mXm get to how it used to be rolling with tons of members online, forums always hopping, etc. But even back then, when we could easily compete with other "hardcore" clans, we always maintained the attitude that this is for fun. We had competitive rosters, but it wasn't a requirement, in the end it was about having a good time with each other. If you wanted to roll with another clan, go ahead. We preferred not to have dual enrollment, but we had no issues with friends hanging with friends. Formed some awesome "alliances" that way. 

I think that was a big draw for people, the benefits and opportunities of a hardcore clan, with the low stress care free fun of a casual clan. There was drama sure, but it was good times. 

Ahhh the memories.
