  1. Some of you Arma3 players might enjoy some of the many scenario's (missions) in the Steam workshop.

    They are put together very well. You can also set them up as multi-player missions to avoid the wankey AI, and let friends be the bullet magnets.

    This game is looking fantastic.

  2. Been exploring the Altis for an hour or so in my little hummingbird. Looking good.

    just go to editor place yourself, and go. Be shooting before ya know it. Cya's

  3. Hey all. Been playing the latest version nightly. With Stream Workshop, you can play countless missions made by people who enjoy Arma3. What's the status at Sparta for MP games?

    hope to shoot with some of "you all" real soon. Some great features to enjoy.

  4. Just wondering. Is there a reason that no one has been playing Arma3 lately? Are new missions being worked on?

    Great progress was being shown a few weeks ago by some dedicated members, and it looked like many hours of Arma3 were coming up.

    The few battles I participated with Sparta were very enjoyable and involved excellent teamwork, an item that is hard to find on other servers.

    I hope the "spark" did'nt go out, and more shoot-em-ups are on the way.

  5. From my few hours inside the editor, It doesn't seem like BIS has done much besides graphics engine updates (better graphics for near-same performance costs as A2, render to texture for mirrors or video screens, and more) , the flight model that I only see a little bit of (ground effect is in play, tail rotor on the littlebird has more authority at high speed), and ragdoll/physX implementation (enemies crumple nicely when shot while standing, but a few glitches when they're killed while crouching).

     

    What is present throughout, is a whole new level of polish that Arma 2 never had. The Stance Adjust system, though still buggy and with room to be changed, gives the me same sense of cover/shooting options as if I was playing paintball in real life. The responsiveness of the mouse and tweaking of weapon/building collision makes CQB fully possible now. The different movement speeds tied into the stance system allow you to fluidly move through a battlefield while still being able to shoot unexpected enemies or sprint from cover to cover.

     

    AI is improved. I've been using the Urban Patrol Script to set up small SP scenarios, and I see AI running across bridges, running into/through houses (when doors are open), and up/down the stairs into Marina's riverbed.

     

    The future-war setting is off-putting to some who want modern weapons and vehicles, but I expect the mod community to step up and get working soon. With the new character system, It will be easier for modders to add new uniforms, armor, and accessories. Same for weapons if BIS changes how the attachments are handled.

     

    For being in Alpha, it's looking amazing. If you're not happy now, shelve it for a few months until the Beta rolls in or it's fully released.

     

    Very well said. Its was a pleasure to shoot with some of the Sparta crew tonite. Hope to have many more games in the future. (didn't mean to reproduce the whole thread above).

  6. Thanks for that advice. I forsee lots of improvements in the near future.

    I just played 11 hours yesterday and last night. Might be a little burnt around the edges.

    Sorry for the attitude. hope to see you guys in muti-player.

    Later

  7. Great to hear people bitch and moan after 15 minutes of game play. Its still a work in progress.

    They can add or take away things that don't work before the final release. Bis wants players opinions.

    Give em your two cents on what you do or don't like. Okay?

  8. Found this in a battle on a server I can't remember.

     

    Went into the AO and quickly got destroyed.

     

    Not before I took alot of bad guys out.

  9. Greetings. Anyone try this add-on? I've read that many people are having trouble getting this to run.

    I'm ready to order, but don't want to put up with any hassles. Hey, can't go wrong for $10.00,plus

    giving support to the game creators.
