***ArmA 3 Thread***

So is there a launcher available for this where my involvement in file management is almost zero? as in download mods, launcher sorts it out kind of way?
 
PlayWithSix will do what you want, granted I think it's **** as do many others. The standard Arma3 launcher works fine, all you need for mods is to download and copy them to the root arma3 folder and add them to the launch commands on the launcher, not exactly brain surgery levels of difficulty.

@Melbo, get some ACE3 scenarios made ;)

ACE3 and ACRE please :D
 
Sounds good!

I hope the chaps I play Arma3 with use the advanced medical systems. There's not as many people as the community I was in previously, but there's still a good number! Love all the additional medical elements!

Much of a muchness between TFA and ACRE. We use ACRE because it's just what we're used to :p
 
Agreed. The sound is getting better though.

The only decent modded PvP server is TacBF but they have some horrendous performance issues. With the release of ACE 3 they may get better hopefully.

Been playing some TacBF the past couple of days - you're not wrong about the performance: sub-30 FPS constantly which can make it pretty miserable to be honest.

Really like the teamwork aspect though - working together in squads using TFR is good fun.
 
Guys,

Just got back into playing Arma2 OA and Arma 3. I used to be active on The Wrecking Crew server running Teamspeak, ACE and ACRE. It was full milsim and we used to play full operations and it was pretty damn epic!

Reinstalled PWS and tried to install the required mods to get back into the TWC server and it seems that PWS is now slow as ****! It's literally DL'ing at 15kB at some points, it'll take a week at this rate. A quick googling seems to show PWS has really fallen from grace as far as managing OA mods.

So, do any of you play fully modded Arma? 2 OA or 3 I'm not fussed. Where do the mods come from? Where are the servers? Basically, anyone running a properly modded server and looking for an old vet lol

You can always still use armaholic for mods, but if a clan/community has unpacked mods and edited them slightly for their own servers then you'll be out of luck. I haven't used Six for a few weeks but it was absolutely fine the last time I tried it? Perhaps ask the community if they have a repository set up and download from that?

Armaholic is the best place for getting mods for the series. Regards PWS, I can't say as I don't use it. Our group runs its own server so everyone sings off the same hymn sheet, no openings for players unfortunately, but there are plenty of clans on the BI forum, could try there.
 
PWS was quick for me, a lot of clans have their own repos to use with things like arma3 launcher and such, check if your community has alternate download methods.

Will do. It's weird, I used PWS exclusively last time around and it was rapid. Perhaps it was having an off day!
 
Soundwise we've had some success with dragonfyre lite, used ACE3 on Sunday night, had a few issues with it but its interesting.. The medic system is a bit more in depth now.
 
The advanced medical system in ACE is fantastic. I think it was the AGM chaps that worked on it. They done a really good job!

The only downside I've found to it so far is how far you have to move/look to access each option, it just seems a bit excessive considering you're just going through an action tree essentially.
