I'm currently getting back into ArmA 1, mainly thanks for the Cold War Rearmed TC. Is anyone playing the game online? Any tips on how to find a good game - or would there even be enough people for a coop game at some point?

Talk about trying to hop onto the train once its left station. The MP communities have moved on en-masse to ArmA 2.

And no one's basically doing what I'm doing, i.e. waiting for Bohemia to finish the first couple of patches because the product's bound to be massively bugged at release? Shame...

i can't find it to be massively bugged. but then again, I didn't play it very long (~ 4-6hours) and mostly at a friends. he himself is very pleased and seems to spend every waking hour with this amazing sandbox. I'm gonna ask him if he noticed anything big but I'm sure he will say that it doesn't matter to him.

Rats... I'm constantly doomed to be late to the game... :tsktsk: By the time I get Armed Assault 2, people will have moved on to Operation Flashpoint 2.
Or not. :ebil:
@Mothra: How's the game's performance on your machine?

he has an c2d with 1.5gb ram and a 9600nvidia. he plays it on 1280x1024 with low/medium settings and medium draw distance and tweaked some ini-files but don't ask me why/what. It looks a little like EnemyTerritory:QW graphics-wise on those settings, so don't expect being able to recreat those 100 aircraft videos on youtube with the same resolution/fidelity. but you can spawn armies of deadly rabbits and order them to attack bears which is fun, too. I predict this game to stay and once I get my new pc (autumn) it will be one of the first games I will buy to show off :)
Operation Flashpoint will only stand a chance if it is as easily and heavily moddifyable as this game. Can't tell you much about online battles/single player mode because all we always do is try to come up with more stupid stuff we could modd in the editor or creating more awesome tank pyramids.
