Re: The WarZ

Sorry to resurrect the thread. But there has been soooooo much negative press regarding this release! As a player of DayZ I was seriously contemplating buying this, is it really as hacked as people say it is?

I have the same desktop as you! That is a cool image (http://www.interfacelift.com) I think???

Nice setup, especially like the picture in the background - kinda funky! Where did you get that from?

Thanks everyone for your help... I opened up a 30" Dell 3008WFP today and am now busy writing this post with it! Talk about screen estate, I thought the 24" was good!!!

Well, I am going to ColorMunki this at some point as I think the colours are a tad off, but will soon get that sorted ...

holy crap. You have like 8TB's!

Yeah, mostly video editing and photography stuff. All the photos I take are in RAW format and take up quite a lot of space (when I fill up my memory cards!).

You can see my spare hard drives and the hot swap caddy towards the top right. I think there is ...

The Antec Skeleton is a bit of a strange one, I use it to test stuff out and hold my main rigs internals when I'm playing with the case. It's okay apart from the heatsink struggling to fit under the main fan on the top!

My other rigs are:
My main one (the Green TJ07) on the right

Thanks Fellas...

I'm actually drifting towards the 30" at the moment as I have seen a few people on YouTube add additional monitors with the help of some software called SoftTH or something like that!?

Anybody use this and if so, how reliable/good is it?

Okay, my 30th is coming up v.soon and I have been given the option of something I want upto £1000!!! Lucky me (Chrimbo and BDay from family).

Sooooo, what do you think I should do? It is all going on a monitor(s) so would you recommend either 3 x 22" 1680x1080 monitors or a 30" behemoth such ...

Just done the Rocket Base Level, Time consuming, but an easy level once you get past the whole 'entrance to the base thing'...

Looking forward to the next level, don't even know what it is yet! :?

Cherbourg I found a lot easier than that one where you have to defend Dog Company. I created a number of Mortars and then sent them right up next to the river, sent over a camo'd sniper to work out where the enemy troops were holed up and then bombarded them with sustained mortar fire!

Well I did it, me being a complete idiot didn't know that once the rifle squad had garrisoned in the HQ, I would actually be able to get engineers etc.

I was rescuing Dog Company and then and only then was I starting to build my mini army! :oops:

I did it, although like Forsaken, I play ...

Most definately! Thanks mate, I'll give it a whirl right now and see how I get on... I originally tried going straight for the base on the right, but then Dog Company got it :oops: oops!

I'll let you know how it goes though...

Thanks again.

:shock: Crikey, the mission after Carenten gets a bit intense! The one where you have to relieve Dog Company!

I keep getting massively overrun by their tanks! Crazy... Anyone got any tips apart from Don't Die! :wink:

Far Cry - Too hard or is it just me?

I even found the part on the ship hard initially when you went round the bow! They would get me everytime - play it more though and you get a lot better and things actually become easier!

I'm with a number of you though with the Crygens - I prefer games where you are up against human nasties ...
