the game is not for everyone, and it requires a lot of patience and practice, not something you can just jump in and run around or you will be mad you spent your money.
Look back over the last few pages of this off-topic forum to see what I mean.

I have done alot of reading/researching, etc. I have also downloaded the trial and it was pretty good, but I know it was nothing like the real thing as there was no team work. I was going to buy it, but I could not find it locally and the prices online for a virtual copy are somewhat high.

Actually, the virtual copies are $30 from direct to drive and steam, and I think the Atari's web site. That is a good deal. I paid $46 on newegg the day the gold version was released, but really only needed the base version for the online stuff.
You have to update to the 1.12 patch also.
The Tactical gamer forums are pretty active right now, so if you need help or advice, stop by. I was actually just asked to be an admin there this morning.
You will be able to find links to the patches and everything else like mods to make the sounds better, etc.

^ cool.

I didn't know that steam sells it, i'll have to check them out.
One of the mods for ArmA really sparked my interest, Iraq Modern Warfare i think was its name. Looks really good.

Hey Sethlive, I hope I can catch one of those games some day.

I bought the game for $30 on Steam. One problem is Steam does not have Queen's Gambit and apparently the retail version does not work with the Steam one so you have to wait to get Queen's if you want it.

You don't need queens gambit to play with us on line. In fact, most of the guys I know don't have it. My understanding is it mainly adds a bunch of new single player missions, and most all of the single player I have tried are buggy and I gave up trying them when I found out how good the multi is when in a good server.
I just got though playing a few hours of team vs team, with like 4 VS 4 guys, and it was amazing. You really take your time and think when you only have 1 life to live and the bad guys are really people hunting you.

Once ArmA:IMW mod comes out, will TG be playing with that? I don't know if I want to buy just ArmA or the gold edition.

Obviously there need to be a few changes with a Mod :

1) Bots not firing at you from beyond set view distances.
2) Faster response times when aiming. You only need one second with an SA80 when walking to stop, aim and fire at a target upto 100m away.
3) When switching weapons there needs to be an "abort and throw yourself on the ground" button as most of my deaths come there.
4) Except when in large games where I get killed by choppers running out of fuel, lack of parachutes opening after pilot says jump, falling off things and getting wounded disastrously, lag causing me to fire cannons too close and the resulting shrapnel death (should have frapsed that one!) enemy gunships flying over our mainbase and shooting us up coming out of the spawn hangar....
