GhostOfSparta 1 Posted March 6, 2013 Hey all! I am new to Arma, as I am new to PC gaming. Just built my rig back in December! Anyway, was giving the alpha a go and playing some co-op with a buddy to familiarize ourselves with the controls, when I died and respawned as a bird! I thought it was pretty funny so I wanted to share it with everyone here :). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xO1ElHe5nA So far this is really the only glitch I have encountered so far. If this has been talked about before, I apologize as I just signed up for the forums. Thank you for your time :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted March 6, 2013 It isn't a glitch. It is supposed to happen. It has been that way since OFP. I'm happy to see the seagull is back though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nodunit 397 Posted March 6, 2013 Hello and welcome to Arma, hope you enjoy your stay :) This one is not actually a glitch but rather a silly feature, it has been with the series with the series since the first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whisky 1 Posted March 6, 2013 Not a glitch, you always spawns as a bird when you die, unless said otherwise... Nothing glitchy or new here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostOfSparta 1 Posted March 6, 2013 Oh really? Well damn! Like I said, I am new so I didn't know that. How embarassing....still though...it is funny! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CubicVirtuoso 10 Posted March 6, 2013 As "cute" and "nostalgic" as it is, I really with B.I. threw away with it for Arma 3. Why can't we just have a regular spectate mode -- it makes playing coop missions with small groups of friends really difficult. I always feel guilty when a friend dies because they have nothing to do other than control a wonky ass bird. Then the rest of the mission becomes "Can you see me!?" "Hey look I'm flying over you!".. lawlz I'm a bird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I died a couple times and spawned in just fine but then I died and I was a bird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeMeSiS 11 Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) That respawntype has been with us since OFP. :) EDIT: Should have F5'ed... EDIT2: The mission editor decides the respawntype. Possibly you ran out of soldiers to respawn in, so you became a bird afterwards. Edited March 6, 2013 by NeMeSiS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
