chortles 263 Posted January 14, 2014 From the pics it looked like some kind of Capture-the-Flag and a new UI. Plus some sick (as in OMGWTF!) lighting effects. I can wait, being knee deep in part 1 of the campaign only - getting a new job sucks :DThe GUI is more like Sector Control/Conquest style (i.e. all sectors, sector control, capture progress).I admit, I actually rather liked some of the modes found in MAG, such as Escalation's three-way fights...

Varanon 892 Posted January 14, 2014 Hm, I suppose that largely depends on your interpretation of 'mode'? Well, you said "as for the mode itself". so I am just assuming ;) I wasn't aiming at trolling or anything like that. Anyway - in avoidance of trolling/getting drawn into talking too much in abstractions (I'm sure we'll have many specific discussions once we drop the info payload!) - I'd just say our guys themselves are excited about their work; for now, I can just about forgive them their enthusiasm, which at times spills over the walls of Castle Bohemia! I can only forgive their enthusiasm if they share it with us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
instagoat 133 Posted January 15, 2014 Not neccessarily true. It has to do with how high the tower is which translates to the radius that it can redirect the electrical strike. Other factors matter as well. Agreed that the whole scene looks unnatural. I would suspect this to actually be a weapon. Lighting hitting a tank would do zilch to the tank. Faraday Cage.

CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted January 16, 2014 I don't see how that's related to multiplayer, though. :/ Don't under estimate CSAT... Lol, jk. Still, you have a point. Lightning wont hurt a tank, whether its guided by a channel of low resistance through the air or not. Though, vehicles like cars, and quad bikes can be easily put out of commission with a wep like that... How lightning can be thrown into Arma 3 as a weapon though... is beyond me. I think it's some fancy editing, or, just happened to have lightning strike at the same time a tank was blown up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twisted 127 Posted January 20, 2014 Would anyone recommend buying Arma 2+OA+A1+TKoH+Carrier Command+Arma Tactics+two other random games for me and my friend for 6$? Is it worth it? yes if you do not have the arma series or TKOH. I never tried their other games so cannot say, but its a great price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
