kilroy the nerd 14 Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) So far we only have a random quad bike and offroad as far as vehicles go, and all the civilians seem to be wearing polos and shorts. Meanwhile in past games, we've had tractors, buses, police cars (though there have been police bars found for the offroad, as well as a police car red offroad with red and blue light bars seen in an E3 showcase), Cold War era rides (though that may end since in one of the videos in Gamescom we saw what appeared to be a racing car in the campaign), ambulances, etc. I'm just curious if we'll have more variety in civilians, at least before release anyway. In the past these things were greatly useful for the Life missions, or things like cops and crooks, as well as just racing missions or silly things.

EvenLease 11 Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I'm sure we will! But nothing much shown so far. http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/253/8/d/arma_3_screenshot_61_by_arma3-d49flf3.jpg We haven't seen that car yet. :\ Edited June 24, 2013 by EvenLease Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy the nerd 14 Posted June 24, 2013 That's the one I was referring to alright! Really wish I knew why. Or why the mirrors are so thin on that car! Yeah, it'd make no sense if we only had a few men in polos and shorts, and 2 offroad vehicles with various paint jobs though. I just hoped we'd see it sooner. All we've seen outside of that is the car you have a picture of, the cop car there, and some girl in a bikini running through the water and swimming with some NATO divers.

I would think the advanced enemy diver distraction unit would be top priority... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purepassion 22 Posted June 24, 2013 And don't forget the scooter ;) I'm pretty sure there's plenty of civilian content yet to follow :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f27sharps 1 Posted June 24, 2013 Some private jet could be fun too, for vip escort mission or something like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smurf 12 Posted June 24, 2013 There is the wreck of a small truck in some places in Stratis, it seems pretty fun for me. Also, no bikes due PhysX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gossamersolid 155 Posted June 24, 2013 Also, no bikes due PhysX. Ummm how'd you figure that one out? Do you have a source from a dev saying it was impossible (I use that word sarcastically because nothing is impossible) to have bikes in the game? On topic: I'm pretty sure it's being held off for final release. You can see a lot of different vehicle wrecks that might "tease" the possible vehicles we'll see. I've seen a mini flatbed truck and that car from the screenshot in wreck form. I hope we get civilian helicopters and planes as well (There are MH-9 civilian textures, so I don't think it's impossible). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, straight from RiE a while ago on a forum post. Sorry, I won't bother to search for it but it's true, at least was at the given time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy the nerd 14 Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) It'd be cool if we could have a cockpit-over-engine truck, like the MAN trucks or Scania or such, maybe supply the local market with imported goods in the toughness of war. Also, a showcase like the one in Operation Arrowhead in Zargabad, letting us just run around as a civilian would be very nice, running in Myrina's street markets, on a boat with the fishermen. I liked those faction showcases, never a shortage of ridiculous things to do, as opposed to showcases that just show you the things employed in a mission. Showcase: People of Altis And to add on, just looked back through the thread and... Wait, what's this scooter about?

KevsNoTrev 44 Posted June 24, 2013 civilian content: truck and trailer rigs..... would be so cool. We can only hope more is coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrLoK 20 Posted June 24, 2013 no bikes due to physx? really? odd. I shall throw away my PC if bikes are not in. well I might frown a bit. Rgds LoK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy the nerd 14 Posted June 24, 2013 There are already bikes, in a way... except that way is mods/porting. Still, that doesn't make a lot of sense. Hope we still get motorcycles then. And buses. And tractors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
