***ArmA 3 Thread***

Haven't played ARMA2 in ages so after reading this thread I installed it and got upto patch 1.9 (I think) and it's awesome with a decent PC to run it. I've also bought OA and Reinforcements too, that should keep me busy for a few weeks!

Off the top of my head, they only ever made two of them, one of which is in a museum somewhere and the other was scrapped.

[tinfoil hat] Only made 2 "Officially". Their cancellation was due to money as they were too expensive for mass production for the US Army but for just 12 or so for SF/CIA use, very do-able as the tech worked, it was just the cost. [/tinfoil hat]

No def no jumping and TBH if you were wereing a 30 kg backpack , ammo and carrying guns i dont think you could jump very high or far anyway :). yes the v key lets you volley over small fences walls etc .
And no its nothing like cod its not pre scripted , Put it this way in arma you might have to stay prone in a tree line for 15 mins if there is enemies passing etc.
On one game myself and 6 others were tasked with taking out an emeny dig in position we spent 15 mins running to our target, 10 mins crawling prone through trees , using scopes and binocs. to spy on them , one of the team go impatiance and stood up and ran to get closer , the upshot?. enemy then knew we were there and started to sweep the forest for the rest of us , they also brought in a mpv.
The rest of us stayed still i had a laz. so painted the targets with it and called in a10 strike. amazing to see the a10 come over after about 3 mins and rip through some of them to see the rest scatter , then that was our time to strike we nailed them all they were all running for cover .
See arma is uique like that , you get a good sqaud and commander and no game is more immersive .......

I've just stuck on the SLX mod. Already I've noticed fire fights are far more intense. :cool:
 
It would only have been called Ace 2 when Arma 2 first appeared. I doubt anyone bothers to say so now.

You add Ace to Arma and it changes sounds and stuff, so its a player made mod which Arma has thousands of and ACE is the largest to date I think. It doesnt need anything else to work

:eek:

really because its not as demanding as it could be. Im on a 4870 only

The lighting is very good, I have to turn off all my lights to play a night map or its like sitting inside trying to see outside in the dark, doesnt work

Not keen that much on the forest type maps but the desert buildings are top class

Tried playing ARMA II .... and I thought BF games were unfinished!

Its a game that I would love to see work. Its different enough from the BF series to offer an alternative change of pace (it wouldn't replace BF - I'm not too old yet to not enjoy it :) ), but my previous attempt at playing ARMA left me wondering how they dared charge for it. It made the beta of BFBC2 look good !
