DefaultApocalypse 10 Posted April 21, 2013 Hey everyone. I am a noob to the Arma series. I converted from console gaming to PC gaming and will not look back. I have been playing the Arma 3 alpha for about 15 hrs now and have to say it is a totally immersive experience. I find that the team work and the emphasis on accuracy to be very well simulated. I also know that in the final release we will be para-trooping our way to victory. I have not however heard if there is going to be a fast line or repelling feature. I think this would be a very nice addition since most of the time the helicopter have to land or in other games you have to bail at a certain distance or risk death since your parachute will not deploy in time.... I.E. BF3 I did a search on the forums and found nothing that had repelling in the title. How boss would it be to go spec op repelling to a roof top at night with a license to kill. Pretty fun if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich_R 1087 Posted April 21, 2013 Welcome to the best game there is. You may have noticed in the other area of the forums a lot of discussion around Mods. These are additions to the game made by fellow players (and quite clever people actually). The predecessor to Arma 3 had a mod that allowed players to repel (generally called fast-roping) from helicopters. It's a skills that our group hones and uses quite a bit. Many modders are waiting until the game gets further along in development before converting their stuff over. This is to allow the game (which is only an alpha now and a shadow of what it will be) to get further down the road if beta. Be patient and hone hose skills that'll get you through the future battles in Arma3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidpinky 11 Posted April 21, 2013 Take On Helicopters had working fast ropes in it, hopefully they will add these into A3 and get them working properly in MP scenarios now as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I figured it would be integrated for a better experience. Yeah arma is a great game. I am new but all ready getting very accustomed to the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PN11A 2 Posted April 23, 2013 FRIES and Repelling are two different insertion methods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiki 1558 Posted April 23, 2013 However, if Iremember well, they (BI dev) said that fastrope wouldn't be included in ArmA 3... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted April 23, 2013 This is correct, OldBear's Gamescom 2012 report (posted at ArmedAssault.de) had Ivan specifically saying that Arma 3 would not have fast-roping as an inherent game mechanic (meaning that it would have to be modded in).
