A Tour Of The Handheld Armoury
 
A2OA - Shooting Range (ingame video) from ARMA2official on Vimeo.
This second video introduces Operation Arrowhead‘s newly-added tutorial missions, which are designed to allow players of all experience levels to train with the various weapons and vehicles featured in the massive standalone expansion. The video’s narration provides invaluable insight and advice while the player is taught how to use handheld weapons, grenade launchers and Javelin portable missiles, along with basic training in the use of sniper rifles.
 
Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead will be released exclusively for PC on 29th June 2010.]]> 31@http://www.iron-fists.eu ArmAIINews 2010-05-12T15:16:25+00:00 Posted by 1812lsd http://www.iron-fists.eu/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=30  
To avoid any misunderstanding - the helicopter without pilot really exists :)It's not a bug - it's one of the UAVs and players will have the possibility to use them in game.]]> 30@http://www.iron-fists.eu ArmAIINews 2010-05-12T15:14:29+00:00 Posted by 1812lsd http://www.iron-fists.eu/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=29 Five years ago, the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter got a digital cockpit and fly-by-wire controls. Starting in 2011, the US Army would like it to perform missions without a pilot at the helm. In a 140-page "Unmanned Aircraft Systems Roadmap" released earlier this month, the Armed Forces reveal that the UH-60, AH-64, CH-47 and OH-58D whirlybirds will all be part of a new aircraft category called Optionally Piloted Vehicles (OPV) -- meaning in future, the flick of a switch will turn them into giant UAVs. If an unmanned Apache gunship makes your boots quake, you're not alone, but you won't truly have reason to fear until 2025. That's when the government estimates half of all Army aircraft will be OPV, and those bots will learn the more deadly behaviors, like swarming. Sikorsky says the unmanned UH-60M will fly later this year.]]> 29@http://www.iron-fists.eu News 2010-04-28T12:51:10+00:00 Posted by 1812lsd http://www.iron-fists.eu/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=28 Valve has announced that upcoming Left 4 Dead 2 DLC The Passing will arrive sometime next week.
If you look at the screen released behind Nick with a driver you can see a red-coated figure, what appears to be Zoey from L4D, above and in the distance.
The Xbox 360 version of the DLC is presumed to release alongside the PC version next week matching past releases with the series.
If you want even more speculation I'd take an educated guess of either Tuesday April 20 or Thursday April 22 as the landing date.
From Steam's community annoucnements:
"When is "The Passing" coming out? Well... if it was coming out next week we would say right here -
Left 4 Dead 2's The Passing is coming out next week and we will be updating the blog next week with more news on the release. There you go."]]> 28@http://www.iron-fists.eu L4DNews 2010-04-17T11:59:08+00:00 Posted by 1812lsd http://www.iron-fists.eu/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=27

 
Our main aim for PR:ArmA2 is:
 
"To create a realistic and immersive modification for ArmA2, which focuses on encouraging teamwork through gameplay"
 
As with Project Reality's original conception on the Refractor 2 engine, at this stage PR:ArmA2 should be classed as a Mini-Mod; we have to start somewhere! Don't be fooled though, this release will by no means disappoint, due to the large number of high quality art assets already created by the Project Reality Team, and the considerable experience of the PR:ArmA2 Development Team on the Real Virtuality 3 engine!
 
PR:ArmA2 will exist as a standalone modification. It will remain self contained, self developing and not rely on or use externally held add ons from other sources where at all possible. What that means to the player is that it will be a 'one stop shop' as an installation package, with no requirement for additional multiple add on packs.
 
We also want to emphasis we are not in direct competition with any of the other great mods out there. However as a team we want to see what we can now do with the Real Virtuality 3 engine, as well as the continued full scale continued development of PR for Battlefield2. We are not in any way changing engines. We have simply expanded the team's reach into ArmA2 with new developers. It is not PR2, nor are we ceasing PR:BF2 development.

HDDBOOST is a unique product that combines the best qualities of traditional hard drive and solid state disk (SSD) into one virtual super storage solution. Depending on the speed of the SSD added, the HDDBOOST can increase the performance of an existing host hard drive up to 70%(*)! This speed increase is very noticeable and significant for any PC users that have not experienced using SSD drives before. For those who are not ready to compromise on storage capacity and reliability for speed, HDDBOOST will enable SSD speed on its host hard drive and reduce the write times to SSD’s more fragile flash-based storage system, thus extending its effective lifetime.

*base on SSD performance

Special Feature
Boost your original system HDD read speed without reinstalling OS
Minimum SSD data write times help extend SSD life-cycle
Easy to install
Compatible with most of 2.5” SATA SSD]]> 23@http://www.iron-fists.eu News 2010-02-04T20:28:40+00:00 Posted by 1812lsd http://www.iron-fists.eu/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=21
Oblong Industries is the developer of the g-speak spatial operating environment.
The SOE's combination of gestural i/o, recombinant networking, and real-world pixels brings the first major step in computer interface since 1984; starting today, g-speak will fundamentally change the way people use machines at work, in the living room, in conference rooms, in vehicles. The g-speak platform is a complete application development and execution environment that redresses the dire constriction of human intent imposed by traditional GUIs. Its idiom of spatial immediacy and information responsive to real-world geometry enables a necessary new kind of work: data-intensive, embodied, real-time, predicated on universal human expertise.
Some of the SOE's core ideas are already familiar from the film Minority Report, whose characters performed forensic analysis using massive, gesturally driven displays. The similarity is no coincidence: one of Oblong's founders served as science advisor to Minority Report and based the design of those scenes directly on his earlier work at MIT. Other foundational components are less directly visible but as crucially transformative. The g-speak platform braids development arcs begun in the early 1990s at MIT's Media Laboratory, where Oblong's principals produced radical user interface advances, distributed and networked language designs, and media manipulation technologies.
From academia; into popular cinema; and out broadly into the world as commercial product: it's an unordinary path for technical thought and effort, but one -- leading to g-speak -- that seems now logical and even necessary. The people who work in Oblong's Los Angeles and Barcelona laboratory offices are as concerned with design as with programming, with humanist principles as with running a company. Synthesizing these concerns is the only way to insure that the metamorphosis of human-computer interaction we offer the world will be one of beauty and durable worth.

This special event lasts a month so check out the trailer below.
