Havent decided if I am going to update yet but wanted to point it out and find out if you all are going to since I have been playing your server.

I guess if we install it we can't play online anymore until everyone updates.

Ya probably better hold off I guess. I am very curious if it helps performance.

It will not help performance, nor will an update they release ever help performance.

They did not touch, in any size, the game engine at all. Think of this as a glorified Arma 2 mod (which it is) that you paid 30 dollars for. A set of new textures, models, and sounds (barely). To improve performance, they would have to start optimizing the engine, which again, they have not touched at all.

As it sits the game itself is about 75% arma 2. Look at the trees, the animations, particles, effects, listen to the sounds, etc. You'll figure it out pretty fast.

Hmm funny Arma 2 runs great for me now a days so not sure there isnt anything they can do to IF to improve performance.

I was aware this is just a super mod for Arma 2 when I bought and not sorry I did.

You can play 1.01 on the server, if you have the Steam version, you've already been patched to 1.01.

Jeez, bitter much? A 'glorified Arma 2 mod'? Would you call Red Orchestra a glorified Unreal mod?

I, along with a lot of other folk, don't think it's a bad thing that IF is, in your words, '75% Arma 2'. I paid my money and I have no regrets.

30 dollars couldn't get me and my girlfriend dinner and a movie nowadays, sheesh...

I'd like to know what makes you think the game isn't 75% Arma 2. You can't sit there and tell me it's completely different and worth 30 bucks for a set of new textures, a few missions, and horrible sounds. I'm pretty sure there are better WW2 mods on Armaholic. If steam could offer a refund, I would gladly send my key back.

I'd prefer we hold off until the v1.02 arrives next week.

The server is running, and while there are things to fix, both Steam and non-Steam players can get in there right now.

Soon as the official patch arrives, and a few reports are posted how it is doing, we'll update the server.

Okay who made Jared by this game against his free will and choice. Who? Somebody probably told him it was a super-glorified mod of ARMA2 and it turns out it's only a glorified mod.

Haha wasnt me but I had heard rumors of some dark shadowy character going around forcing poor unsuspecting people buy games they didnt really want.

The authorities really should look into this.

This is pretty redundant seeing as I wasn't forced to buy it.

I bought it thinking they might've fixed something BIS couldn't, but I was completely wrong.

I find that, if one is having trouble with a game engine, it's always best to rush out straight away and buy a new title that advertises the fact that it utilizes the same engine. Waiting a few days before purchasing in order to peruse various fourms for feedback on the game? Ridiculous! Fortune favours the bold and so on and so forth....

Speaking of which, I need to call the gaming commisioner and lodge a formal complaint concerning this lottery ticket I bought. Didn't get a single number. Outrageous!

Running fine performance wise for me, with most settings at high, and visibility set to 5km, my rig isn't top line thesedays,
I7 950, 1.5gig gtx580, 6gig 2000mhz DDR3 and SSD. No complaints!
I agree with the above, the ARMA way of doing things isn't for everyone, if you know you have issues with it why would you be the first in line for a new release? Makes no sense, and the only one to blame is you for it sitting on the fence to see how it reviews!!!
I like it, and have high hopes for it in the future!

Cheers

Some people are spending $30 buying ARMA 2 JUST to play the DayZ mod, to put things in perspective. If you think spending $30 on Iron Front is silly, what about the DayZ players who will probably never even touch vanilla ARMA 2?

I was happy to buy Iron Front knowing the drawbacks of the ARMA engine, and realizing it was basically a "glorified mod". I figured it would be better than the free WW2 mods on Armaholic. I just might have to buy a new PC to fully enjoy it. Hopefully by the time that happens they'll have ironed out a few problems.




(love your sig BTW Trumps)

I bought Iron Front so I could drive my grandfather's tank

And a few more reasons (like the T-34-85, which I've had a metal model of for years and now cannot find anywhere).
