Daniel 0 Posted May 19, 2011 I have to say, Arma 3 has the potential for a cracking MGS mod now. Epic graphics and environments, sub launched special forces, crazy Russian helicopter things. Awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sergeantshizzle 10 Posted May 19, 2011 So wait, linking the story stuff we know now to the stuff from the hacks. The story states that Eastern forces are pushing NATO into the ocean off Europe, this links to the map of Europe that shows "Eastern Forces" pushing into France. The story also states that it is a taskforce of special operators as well as researchers, this links to the hack that showed the boss from PMC telling someone else to "Draft this guy" on SBS Miller (the protagonist)'s profile card addressed to someone called Novac, presumably some form of recruiter for the taskforce. The storyline also says that Miller washes ashore all alone and will have to go from "lone prey" to military commander, this possibly links to the "Friday the 13th Hack" which listed a lot of guerilla actions/figures, which suggests that Miller rouses a rebel army to fight for control of the island a-la-gueverra. There was also that hack about the auto-stereogram linking to the youtube videos which told us some lyrics? forgot what the lyrics were but if I can remember correctly they sounded like something to do with a revolution of some sort, breaking chains? Then the ball hitting the wall, probably the strangest of the lot as it doesn't seem to link in any obvious way to the story, only possible link I can see is the inclusion of PhysX, but I doubt it.

pete10 0 Posted May 19, 2011 the graphics and physics look cool. i only hope they release a present day mod or something. this sci-fi stuff is not what i got into arma for. i got into it because it was the only game making an effort to be as real as possible.

nodunit 397 Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) the graphics and physics look cool. i only hope they release a present day mod or something. this sci-fi stuff is not what i got into arma for. i got into it because it was the only game making an effort to be as real as possible. Chances are as far as futuristic goes it will only be a few things, and you know just as well as the rest that the community will be making mods or bringing stuff over, the timeline the game is set in is more or less moot because there will be modifications to cover various periods in the end anyway. Also will anyone who thought of this ARG be coming forward to say "It was fun"? Edited May 20, 2011 by NodUnit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alwarren 2767 Posted May 20, 2011 No, I believe the RFT executable is called arma2rft.exe - an arma2free.exe doesn't exist yet, AFAIK. No, but I think the keyword is "yet" :) I mean, obviously nVidia didn't just invent arma3.exe (although they wrote "Armed Assault III", so I don't think they inveted arma2free.exe either. I would suspect BIS have something else in store, maybe for E3, maybe for the 10th anniversary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite possible. :) The arma2free.exe profile obviously doesn't exist by accident, as the announcement of Arma3 has clearly shown. I still believe, as I posted in another thread, that BIS is planning to release a portion of Arma2 for free, possibly the multiplayer component (Just like F.E.A.R Combat, the free multiplayer component of F.E.A.R released a few years ago).

mant3z 1 Posted May 20, 2011 From yesterday... from that bloody 15:30 I was thinking how I really feel about this future things in AmrA3. Now I know... I'm quite sure that I'm realy disapointed. We wanted physics (doesn't matter which one havok/physix) earlier before and now we get it but damn it why with all this future bullshit. Wonderful island, customizations of gear and guns, physix and everything ruined with future toys. ArmA was for me an extension of the weekend because usualy I spend weekend in the woods as an 'airsofter', arma give me that feel which I've got each weekend when I do some military games with my friends in local woods. Now what, should I buy a replica of lightsaber? Fuck NO! Hope the time, maybe E3 will bring to us some optimistics information... maybe they didn't went in to the future too far... maybe it wont be totally crap. Let's wait... with small hope that somebody listen to us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogx 13 Posted May 20, 2011 Am I the only one seeing absolutely no sense in all this "waagh, it's the FUTURE!" whinging? :confused: NEWS FLASH: Arma 2 OA, BAF and PMC are set in the future. So maybe the Arma3 campaign is set ten years in the future. Maybe the game contains a couple of futuristic units. Tell me one thing: how the fuck does that change anything? How the fuck does that break the game for you? The underlying engine is what really matters, and so far it seems to be an awesome improvement over Arma2. As for contemporary content, the community will surely provide in short order, and they will be able to work in that awesome new engine. I get the feeling that the announcement of Arma3 somehow killed quadrillions of brain cells all over the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cj 1 Posted May 20, 2011 +1 MadDogX ... sick to death of people bitching and whining about the game, the devs arent going to change it now - they have listened to the community and have added a billion things we all wanted.. this is BIS we're talking about, not IW and i think people are failing to realise that... there is about a billion posts under the A3 section complaining about things, requesting things etc. if they actually had any idea how this community worked they would know that BIS sort the engine and make sure the game is of a good standard, then the community come along and mod it to hell, making it to a perfect standard. all these "requests" people keep making are doing my head in already, makes me feel sorry for BIS after putting in all this hard work, even with the ARG, then people complain on the impact of the news. "BIS U NED 2 LISTN 2 US PL0X PLuZZ" "CAN U JUZT" etc etc. i've seen people on here already being ignorant claiming BIS do not listen to the community, well thats aload of crap , fact. BIS and its community are tighter than any other i've been apart of and it's ridiculous, even insulting to come out with somethin so stupid. i personally am loving what ive seen so far, i dont see titans or mechs, laser rifles or plasma grenades so as far as im concerned this game is Far from futuristic. we are already in the future, everything i've seen so far is already released on the military market, or is/has been a concept of some sort - so thats rules out the "unrealistic" debates i keep hearing. people are just blinded by current wars , wanting to live out the role of a current soldier in a current war. well BIS has already answered that with takistan, dont buy the A3 if you want that again. you can please some people some of the time, but you cant please all of the people all of the time.

To be honest, I don't really think it's going to be "free" as in "free to play". The reasons I have for that sound stupid - but so far, everything free from BIS was called "Lite". Also, I don't really see why they would release it for free, maybe as an "appetizer" for ARMA 3, but I dunno... Maybe I am clutching at straws, but I am still hoping for an expansion or something similar by June 22nd - maybe limited in scope, but for sure Render to Texture was "promised" as something they are planning to do, as well as "having something planned" (or similar). We'll see :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEVINMGXP 20 Posted May 20, 2011 Maybe now some pepole are a bit disappointed with this future stuff on screens, but we got so litle informations right now, only 9 screens? right. I bet we all gona buy Arma 3 anyway. :) Hell im going to buy it for sure, ok the thing is they packing out with a new look to it but what makes BIS simmulation realistic? the setting or the game play. Im with WOLLE on that part that i was not happy to see SCARS issued to the bras US ARMY because to the date it was not exactly like id had to be, but on the other hand thats not what the game made like it is now. The game is delivered with a game play future not seen to date in any other game with a great support for a modding community! thats the game i want to continiue to see. And to be direct on that fact as long the keep the core game play like it is with additional improvements and futures that will improve the game then they will win me twice the time then they already have me now. Hell scuba diving yihaa, finaly the navy seals will do what they are trained to do, we will only need a modder that will make such a unit if they are not in the game already! Physix nice as long the don't put in Ragdoll like in Holywood then i will be happy, hell im with walker on that part i just don't want to see somethign shot and blowing away 5 meters back but i think i'm not willing to participate to deeply in the conversation because of to many eagerly people wants to see holywood in ArmA3! anyway i for one surtainly don't want it because it does not add anything extra then only visual. On the ohter hand i love to see real life annimations when you get shot you will drop like in real life but im not sure if thats possible in a game. Lets see what we have gotten now at ArmA2 nothing was exact like it is in real life the settings where or out dated and everyone was complaining about it so the modders made content to over come that. Then again they brought us OA and the settings where like damn not realistical because of the scars and such. People where complaining about it but in the end modders pharsed it out with mods like ACE2 to be exact like it had to be. now they bring ArmA3 and everone is complaining about the fact it is to futuristic, and i have to be honnest i was scared to see drop ships and klingons but that was not the fact, so this is the least of my worries! The tanks does exsist The weapons do exsist The Shopper is in the making (i believe or hell let it even not be so who gives a damn?) and so on, already thought of it that they maybe will put in the next gen Abrams tank? hell that would be soooo sad im whyping already, NOT i mean wth are you complaing about anyway. They make a game they deliver if you don't like don't buy! plain and simple. what dragged me to this game is the realism GAME PLAY! and the abillety and support for modders and mission edditor not the content of the game it selves, its nice to have vanilla content and i like them to but i also like a lot of stuff made by the community. In the End it is the game play that does it for me! thats my 2 cent on it, I akted like a lot of others in the beginning that the first picture was on and a lot of you should feel silly the same way because hell we supported BIS all the way trough now! But now we would drop the support because the setting will not feels right? i think thats a bit to harsh ot my likings doh, i was not happy eather first but common now wake up! you all know that will not be true! You and me will buy it like the rest of us :D by the way this is not a troll or a bashing just my opinion on my own and others dumb acting a few pages back ;) If i feel to be wrong i will not be afraid to admid it.

We'll see :) Well, what are the other options? Some people have suggested it might be short for the name of an expansion ("Arma2: Free XYZ" or something), but to be honest I can't think of a name containing "free" that wouldn't sound corny. And the free content they released so far was called "lite" because that's exactly what it was: watered down content provided for compatibility reasons only. It wasn't truly free content, in that sense. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
