Arma 2 is dead the few servers that are left are all struggling. Gamespy is also shutting down soon and Arma2 wont have any server browser support for a while I believe. They are fixing ARMA3 to work with steam and plan on doing the same for A2 but A2 wont be done straight away.
Best arma 3 mods right now. Wasteland - Sa-Matra Version King of the Hill - Hostiletakeover/Sa-Matra Version Breaking Point Battle Royale
Sa-Matra has coded the best wasteland in arma2/arma3 however his code for arma2 was stolen from 404. To host anything now you need to apply and it can take some time to get a reply. http://forums.arma.su/ I do not reply to server host apps however normally to be allowed to host there would be need for the servers in aus/nz currently the aus Sa-matra wasteland server doesn't full up so they would probably say no to that. I also believe a second aus KotH server will be up soon so they probably don't know if there is need for it currently
Currently ARMA3 can only support max of 70 players on a Server. Any higher then 70 and your server will start to see all sorts of problems, They have slowly been releasing patches that have made the player count go higher and higher however it seems to have stopped at 70 for now. Any server you see with over 70 slots will be having a lot more problems and will probably crashing a lot.
Arma 3 servers also require a lot more then Arma 2 servers.
I'll probably check out the beta (if free) but sure wont pay for it or any early access.
I haven't really looked into this game, if you pay $50 you get $30 in game currency (basically makes me say fuck this game) and you also get 6 months "stronghold map server hosting" so its pay to play..
Developer's Note: * To change your DayZ UI options, go to OPTIONS > GAME OPTIONS > DayZ UI. This will only affect the DayZ UI elements, unfortunately it is not saving to the config file so each time you restart ArmA2 you will need to change this setting. * You will receive a serialization warning in game when changing the DayZ UI option, just ignore it by clicking continue it will be gone in next update. * DayZ UI Debug option is not working properlly (no debug indicator at the moment). deal-with-it.jpg
Changelog: * [NEW] Bear trap has chance to spawn on infected hunters * [FIXED] Graphical glitches with dead bodies (Bodies should now not display graphical glitches) * [NEW] Three UI options available: Default (indicators only), Debug (indicators + debug window), None (only base ArmA2 UI) * [FIXED] Converting between magazine types resets ammo count (Now only contains previous number of rounds) * [FIXED] Vehicle and tents not saving (Now they save correctly) (* Missed from original build notes accidentally*)
Get someone to drive a car to you and see if you can get in it.
I would have tried but I was on an island. sitting there for 3 hours my food was light green/orange with water just coming up on red. had to get someone to go and shoot me
near the chopper? its hard to say, probably a hacker trying to take it for himself. however if its at the spawn a lot of people server jump looking for choppers
spawned in a hacked server, found a dead guy with dmr + nv goggles and decided to loot.. logged out straight after. 4days later decided to spawn back in and nek minute "wheretf did my looted stuff go? lol
you probably logged out to fast after getting the items so they didn't register to the hive. if you get good loot stick in the server for 5-10 mins to be safe.
oh nah this was around 10 - 11 our time. i think we all logged off near the tents at about 2am. didnt see any bodies ;/ cant see whats in the tents until a restart
Had a good night tonight, killed a couple of guys raiding our tents, killed a couple at Stary. Server was actually night time. and Strelok wasn't on to kill us.
