eJay 1 Posted November 25, 2012 They might know something we dont know.well there have been no official statement on the exact date when the game will be released. It's rather "Q1 release date" than realistic date. Game is still on alpha stage, even BIS developers want to know when ArmA III hit the shelves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maio 293 Posted November 25, 2012 I have a question about movement animations and human model in Arma 3, i saw somewhere the motion capture article in BIS forum, so question is was it used ( motion capturing ) for Arma 3 purpose ?And about the human models will be those models more "fleshy" just like real trained soldiers or just some 80 kilos spiders ? And in addition the "damage model" on human bodies will be something like in Red Orchestra 2 ? Yes Mocap has been used for ArmA 3. No idea for the second question. There will be a bleeding system, but that's about all we know about the new player damage system. There will be no dismemberment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted November 25, 2012 Yes Mocap has been used for ArmA 3.More specifically, Smookie did most of the mo-cap while Rocket (pre-DayZ) did about a third of the moves, according to Vespa's bistudio.com interview on animations.There will be a bleeding system, but that's about all we know about the new player damage system. There will be no dismemberment.According to InstaGoat, body armor and the helmet (and maybe eyewear) also affect damage taken if those are struck, while the Field Manual mentioned that hits to the extremities will already deal what in other games might be called "status debuffs", i.e. being unable to stand if sufficiently wounded in the legs or accuracy reduced if shot in the arms. I know that the term is right out of MMOs, but it fits -- this isn't COD/Battlefield 3/MOH where shooting someone in the legs simply means -10% or so damage (compared to a torso hit).

We have the same thing in ArmA 2. I was hoping for something similar to the limping system in VBS 2. That would be an immersion/gameplay bonus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raptor90 1 Posted November 26, 2012 Ye, they need to be definitely more fleshy, especially on thighs and arms though. Currently they look like after hunger-strike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr_feelgood 1 Posted November 28, 2012 yea, i was just wondering if anyone knew if there was going to be an actual ranking system for multiplayer?? thanks and heres a list of snipers i would love to see in this game. barrett m107 barrett mrad system m40a5 m24 L96 Chey tac svd sv98 svu vss m110 L115A3 remingtion msr m21 sr25 i really loved arma 2 and just wanted more snipers with more optics options. and i really liked the amount of assualt rifles act. that they already had in the arma 2 so i didnt list any. just let me know what u think. the way i look at it, the more guns the better(: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 568 Posted November 29, 2012 yea, i was just wondering if anyone knew if there was going to be an actual ranking system for multiplayer?? That's like asking for a ranking system for LEGOs. :p ArmA isn't round based, competitive, ladder style game where "ranking" would matter. You have full access to anything your heart (and the mission designer) wants you to have from the start. There's no "unlocking" anything or any of that arcade stuff thankfully. It certainly can be turned into one, but by default it's not, it's a sandbox you can do whatever you want with, so global ranks just don't make sense. Communities will probably come up with something like that and I guess keeping track of stats might be interesting, but a lot of stupid things can happen in the editor so please don't track that like DCS does! heh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Dr_feelgood, stick that list in the community wishlist threads instead please. It certainly can be turned into one, but by default it's not, it's a sandbox you can do whatever you want with, so global ranks just don't make sense. Communities will probably come up with something like that and I guess keeping track of stats might be interesting, but a lot of stupid things can happen in the editor so please don't track that like DCS does! hehPretty much what matters is that it can be "turned into one", but fortunately that is mission-specific so that no one is stuck with it if one doesn't want to participate... although depending on how Arma 3 "persistent mission" architecture is handled by BI if at all, we may see the capability to create "mission/mod-specific" rankings, something that might be usable for not just PVP matches but also for Arma 3 incarnations of the Life RPG mods/missions.

Most of times even the existing "score system" makes people NOT focus on objective/s ..and adopting a "playstyle" that most of times negates team work and organized movement/tactics. * Those last posts regarding this matter worked as a "reminder" for me-to shut-off this feature ("I" key) from our team servers permanently :j: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CriminalMinds 10 Posted December 9, 2012 Raptor90 we honestly don't know if ArmA III will support more cores than two. Everything else would be speculation. So no need to troll, like in the post above! :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khaki 10 Posted December 9, 2012 LOL ?So no chance to get 10km view and all maxed out settings without lag-fest ? Well that's more than possible, in fact it happens all the time in the less optimized Arma 2. However that's saying if you don't have anything else on the map, which then means that your ultimate settings might not mean much when you actually play.
