***ArmA 3 Thread***

Breaking point was just too laggy for me to enjoy. Altis is too big as well, you just end up running miles.

Not had lag yet, have you tried it recently?. But yeah the map is insanely big for DayZ, Dave Beast reckons Epoch will be on all maps available for A3 so fingers crossed Cherno as it has been ported.........
 
I played Breaking Point for a couple of hours last night, FPS was running in high 50's most of the time until it started to rain, then it was around 25. I quite enjoyed it really, took me a while to figure everything out but once I got going it was rather good. The size of the map would means there is a lot of running which is a bit boring but overall it was rather enjoyable.

Saying that I cant see it taking the place of Epoch but its a good time filler.
 
Did you turn off post processing etc? Also sometimes making some settings higher can make it run with better frames lol. The Breaking Point launcher has a section where you can add max ram/vram/cpu threads etc. Might be worth checking it out, I only have a 6950 and I get around 50-54 with high settings and 2xAA. Although the 6950 will be upgraded over the next 3-4 months no doubt, it is starting to choke on newer games.

I didnt really try tweaking with the settings tbh, I'm more a jump straight in kind of guy :rolleyes: I will have a mess around tonight. Arma 3 is very nice though, cant wait to get stuck into some other missions etc.
 
Still no internets :( Been messing around with that Redneck Salt Lake Massacre ready for when I get back online then started playing with the zombies in the editor again!

why are the zombies so bad in dayz when its clearly possible to make much better ones, evident in the various other zombie mods for arma games.

I'm starting to come to the conclusion that rocket just isn't very good at developing.

well to be fair the zombies in breaking point run through walls far more than SA

I tried playing "atlus" ? That RPG side of Arma 3 and personally it just **** me off. I was on the back of the quad bike and it didn't matter what button I used I couldn't even get of. Tried every single key! I even tried my mouse wheel, which of cause dlknight kept on saying " it works here " " use your mouse wheel " :rolleyes:

It worked perfectly fine when I logged back in :o

Then there are the retarded rules, the bloke on the quad couldn't hear me in direct communication and it came up with " ADMIN WARNING NO VEHICLE CHAT " which is *** stupid. So I used group chat " ADMIN WARNING BLAH BLAH ", oh but hearing idiots jacking each other off on Side Chat was perfectly fine?


Rage......
 
Breaking point
Bind your custom 1 key to "h" in the custom options, (Esc > Configure > Controls > Custom Options)
Whenever you press your "H" key, you'll sit and rest, after about 3 to 5 minutes you'll be back to 75% health.
Make sure you have no zombies after you while doing this, you might end up being a zombie horde's take-away meal.

your belly rumbles when you are hungry.
you pant when you are thirsty.
boil canteens of water before you drink them.
cook meat on fires.
match+wood pile
light the fire place before you try to cook the meat ^_^
don't put the meat inside the fire before it's lit or the meat disappears and that's not how you are supposed to cook it, light the fire and use the scroll wheel

badly need to find as vehicle though with how large the map is.

TENT's which you have to craft are supposed to store items but some are buggy and the loot disappears on server restore or what you took out before reappears.

yea the map is huge but you are not forced to walk everywhere.
find a vehicle and repair it.
 
Thinking I might get back into some mission making over the weekend. Anything you lot would particulary like to see?

Redneck Swamp Lake Massacre is pretty much good to go. Just need to get the right balance for the load out. If no one has played it before, think of Predator. 1 player plays as the "monster" (guy in ghillie suit) who has NVGs, infinite stamina and can take a couple mags of ammo before he falls. He only has a melee attack which kills in 1 hit. The "Redneck" team currently have 2 SMG's with lights and pistols. It's set in a swamp area on Altis, night time + fog. Should be a good laugh when my internet is back working!

Edit - Going to make a Cops + Robbers mission I think! Ideas and suggestions please. Mission will end if either team is entirely killed or if the robbers reach a safe point.

That actually sounds sooo good :D

You should let the Predator get some mines/trip wires for the comedy.
