New Member saying Hello

Hello Everyone!

Your site was recommended to me from someone I know at Wolfservers.com and I was so impressed, I thought I'd sign up and introduce myself (hope thats ok).

My name is Ken, I'm a 38 Y/O father to the best 11 year-old-gal on the planet and, oh ya, I like games. I bit more of a simmer than run 'n gunner kinda guy and prefer games such as ArmA, IL2 FB, rFactor, etc., but still enjoy the arcadey games such as Doom3/ROE, HL2, CoD, and co.

I run my own small network of websites under the parent site of lifesupporters.com and in my spare time (lol):

- Admin @ Wolfgaming.net
- Admin @ nukemods.com
- Admin @ UK Webmaster World (retiring)
- Admin @ DaDaNuke (retiring)
- Moderate @ Armaholic.com
- Moderate @ Armed-Assault.net

...as well as member and lurk at about a half a dozen other websites, well make that 13 now

Anyway, just thought I'd say a few words and I hope to get to know you fine folks.

Regards,

Ken

Actually, we only do this initially to suck you in. Once we have you within our grasp we beat you down with a wooden spoon.

Never too late to throw out a "glad you are here"

Didn't see Project Reality Mod on your list. We are striving for a real life tactics based experience on our PRM server. With it's increase in popularity bringing in lots of faces sometimes we fall far short of that...but it's improving every week. We run a passworded server on Thursdays & Sundays so that helps. Simply find the password on the forums and you are good to go. Ideally this means those looking for the password are reading the server rules...etc etc...

Anyways, to the detriment of my ArmA and COD2 admin duties, I've been spending most of my gaming time on the PRM server and would welcome you in one of my squads and any 1st MIP squad. 1st MIP strives to use RL tactics and if you don't mind following orders and engaging in small unit tactics than you'd find yourself quite at home.

Welcome.

I actually just re-installed BF2 last weekend for EOD as I thought that was by far the best Vanilla BF Mod ever. Quite honestly, we tried PR @ Wolfgaming and interest in it only lasted about 14 minutes so I never even had time to consider trying it. Maybe I'll give it a second look and hook up on your server sometime since BF2 is now using up drive space once again. For the record, I never liked BF2 because it was just wayyy to arcadey for my tastes. ***dux head, awaits flames***.

ArmA is really more my kind of game simply because even if you wanted to you simply cannot run 'n gun or your dogmeat. To me it really brings back my short lived army days trying to spot an invisible enemy that's only a few yards in front of you. If there were any realism in our patrol excercises, I'd be dead 10x over.

To me, ArmA would be perfect if it were optimized for multi-core CPU's because when you have an E6600 w/ 2 GB DDR2 Dual Channel @ 667Mhz and an 8800GTS, you should not have to view the game at 1024 x 768 w/ med/high details.

Sorry folks, this is a topic for another forum, I just got carried away there with a mini-rant.

Re: New Member saying Hello

Duke it sounds like you should give PR a try. Though it is not a simulation like ArmA it is much less arcadish than vanilla. Plus it has a ton of features that makes it a different game entirely. Check it out, it's free!
