PartyHead 10 Posted June 21, 2013 Don't know if I imagined it or not but I'm sure I read somewhere awhile ago that BIS would be introducing fast roping into Arma 3. Is that still true or false. :confused: Please say its true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted June 21, 2013 That was walked-back by Ivan last year at Gamescom 2012, there's an Gamescom 2012 report by Old Bear at ArmedAssault.info about this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TangoDown77 10 Posted June 24, 2013 This is a great basic feature. They should add it in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PartyHead 10 Posted June 24, 2013 One of the biggest things for me in the franchise is fast roping. The reason I bought ArmA on the spot was because I was at the store, saw fast roping on the box, and bought it. So the first mod I always shoot for is fast roping.I see that it says "Fast-roping will be sported by the engine". Does this mean it will be in the game, or will it still need to be modded, and its "supported". And while i know fast roping isn't common anymore because of the risks, it is still used from time to time, and I love using it for rough terrain insertions. If I remember correctly, there are currently no plans to implement rope physics. Ivan talked about it last year and said it's not on the to-do-list. I hope the whole PhysX engine is modding-friendly because it doesn't seem like it is... Just found these couple of post in the "Arma 3: Confirmed features | info & discussion" Doesn't look like fast roping has made it into the game, but i guess they might always change there minds down the track and add it later.

Alwarren 2765 Posted August 28, 2013 Rappelling on down buildings would be cool. Managed to HALO onto the roof of the hospital, would be nice to be able to get down there by rope... Just saying ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidpinky 11 Posted August 28, 2013 Rappelling on down buildings would be cool. Managed to HALO onto the roof of the hospital, would be nice to be able to get down there by rope...Just saying ;) Would be even more fun on the Collector Towers at the Solar Farms, could almost base jump those.

Wiki 1558 Posted August 28, 2013 Fastroping? Yes, I want it too! This + shooting from the vehicles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pharoah 65 Posted August 28, 2013 If we have fast roping, we should also have the ability to drop lines for guys to grab onto and be lifted out. Hey, they used this quite regularly on SOG and LRRP missions in Vietnam! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be awesome. :) Edited August 28, 2013 by Laqueesha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smurf 12 Posted August 28, 2013 Fastroping?Yes, I want it too! This + shooting from the vehicles. What about shooting while fastroping? That's a whole new level huh? But it doesn't seems it will be official and even if PhysX objects (such as ropes) will be avaible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simon1279 51 Posted August 28, 2013 Fast roping, i believe nothing difficult considering it was very well implemented in Take on Helicopters, +1 for fast rope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pharoah 65 Posted August 29, 2013 You mean SPIE rigs? That would be awesome. :) ah yes, thanks mate...thats the one. I knew it was a rig of some sort however I couldn't remember the name. Used alot in Laos/Cambodia/Vietnam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted August 29, 2013 Whether or not its "implementation" in Modern Warfare 2 is anywhere near worth recounting ( :P) its dialogue also uses the "SPIE" acronym. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odie0351 67 Posted August 30, 2013 if not SPIE rigging than atleast rope ladders, could certainly be useful extracting personnel from the water/ rooftops:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laqueesha 474 Posted August 31, 2013 ah yes, thanks mate...thats the one. I knew it was a rig of some sort however I couldn't remember the name. Used alot in Laos/Cambodia/Vietnam. That would be cool. Imagine, you're in a hot situation, helo comes in, you hook up, and fly to safety! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dav 22 Posted September 1, 2013 Would love this feature Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grey-Legolas 10 Posted September 15, 2013 +1 vote for fastroping;) Guess it would be a benifit both for players and the developers - trailer with fastroping will be a revolution in arma series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ash712 1 Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) I guess all you "fast roping" guys never used ACE with ArmA 2? The feature exists, and my old clan used to use it a lot... The "ropes" came in different lengths even, but they were stiff as a board animation wise and more like a "fast pole" lol! I'd love to see it back with say...ACE 3? Only this time have some PhysX in them ropes ;) Edited September 17, 2013 by Ash712 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giorgygr 61 Posted September 17, 2013 and more like a "fast pole" lol! Totally ROFL :D I'd love to see it back with say...ACE 3? Only this time have some PhysX in them ropes ;) Yea..i hope ACE3 will be out eventually..and implement phyX to poles *eer!* Ropes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aus_twisted 0 Posted September 17, 2013 BAS had fast roping back in OFP, would be good to see official support for it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
