Haha that was hilarious. When that guy said, "You don't know who I am?" after he crashed is helicopter and I accused him of being a bit rubbish. He was convinced he was some Arma superstar!

Gabber Actual, this is Gabber 2, we have an absolute Gabber here, over.
 
Has anyone heard anything regarding a second official campaign yet? Given the ending of the last chapter it looks likely the scenario will continue. Hoping for more like this (and the old OFP campaigns) rather than the previous ArmA series.

I think I'm one of the few who only play ArmA in SP so more campaigns are high on my wish list.
 
Trying to find the post by one of the devs. Basically it says there is going to be more "DLC". That's pretty much all we know!
 
I've got a bit bored of Altis life and ARMA 3 missions that take ages to get anywhere, like having to wait for transport, flying miles only to find the objective has already been met. I'm looking for something a bit more action orientated, where guns and vehicles are plentiful. Is there such a thing on ARMA 3? I'm not looking for COD.

Well if you're wanting pure arcadey-type team vs team action then join the Hostile Takeover servers that are running King of the Hill. It's basically 2 teams fighting over a town, you gain money from killing in the town and being in the cap point. Spend that money on new weapons/vehicles/perks. There's a big new update coming soon for that mission also. Money and ranks are saved so you can rejoin the servers another day and pick up where you left off. All friendly players will have icons over their heads which makes it easy to figure out who to shoot.

Next is EUTW CTI. Easily the best pvp team vs team mission Arma 3 has at the minute and is pretty much all I play Arma 3 wise. Very similar to KotH but there are up to 12 cap points that can only be taken if your team has already captured a linked point. Normally the fight will eventually boil down to a few main cap zones where the firefights can go on for hours sometimes. Requires a bit of team play and communication if you want your team to do well. You regularly get people marking enemies/friendlies with smoke, calling out grids for CAS runs which for a public server is a pretty big thing! Again, gain money by killing enemies, scouting cap zones and capping zones. This one won't have markers over friendlies heads so you have to really ID your targets before you shoot.

They've just added in the new jets as well which still require a bit of balancing with view distances etc but it adds a new dimension to it all.


I highly recommend playing on 1st person servers if you want pvp. Using 3rd person is totally game breaking. Set your correct FOV as well if you're going 1st person. http://killzonekid.com/how-to-change-fov-in-arma-the-easy-way/

1920 x 1080 at 90 FOV
fovTop=1.03;
fovLeft=1.83;

1680 x 1050 at 90 FOV
fovTop=1.13;
fovLeft=1.80;

2560x1440 at 90 FOV
fovTop=1.02;
fovLeft=1.83;

1920x1200 at 90 FOV
fovTop=1.13;
fovLeft=1.81;

Not forgetting the likes of Altis Life and zombie type ones which are all horrendous and full of idiots/trolls.

I'll be on CTI tonight at about 7/8ish. If you're on then you're more than welcome to jump on with whoever I'm with and I'll show you the ropes.

@rhysduck - The more the merrier mate. Our normal TS channel went down a few days ago for some reason, not sure what is going on with it!
 
Had a good hour on this earlier (#2 as 3 only had 5ppl on it), interesting and fun concept! need to team up though was a bit boring on my own and i kept getting killed by tanks and the like.

Aye, unless you sit off on a hill somewhere with a long-range rifle, it can get a little tedious by yourself. But once teamed up with people, it really brings the game into its own! :D
 
I had ago of the sandbox server last night with my brother and we had some fun, Just trying out everything that the game has to offer. I got kicked from the server last night and not sure why need to investigate it, but I think it is because I used a rocket on a squad? And not vehicle, I did find the weapon inside of a car though.
