(Very) Belated Hello


Hi all

After 18 months of trying all of your patiences on the public, I thought it time to sign up.

I guess I am one your older players, and fell into gaming quite by random. (Serious Sam 2 free disc with a graphics card - anyone remember this one?). I had tinkered around with MS Flight Simulator since the very early days, but eventually got bored with flying B737s all across Europe. Spent many hours on COD MW3 1/2/3. But got tired of the basic shoot 'em up thing (and basically not being very good.)

I had never heard of ARMA3 (or been aware of MilSim), until early last year. I had been for a holiday to the real-life island that you will all know as Altis 25 years ago. I was planning a return visit and searched the web for any recent news about the island. I was fascinated to learn of the whole BI story of the development of Arma (being locked up on espionage charges, etc.) So I couldn't resist getting my own 'island simulator'! I have to tell you that in places it is spookily accurate: The hospital is a dead ringer (apart from the helipad).

So looking forward to many more happy moments on the battlefield, and hopefully learning a bit more of what goes on behind that private curtain!

Cheers
Derek

That is an interesting way to find out about ArmA. Good luck on your recruitment process.

Enjoy your stay :)

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity.
