Close Quarter Battle Mod (CQB-M) [WIP]

[luks7n2 10]

Definitely CQB in Arma 3 is really hard to reproduce, but if you guys be able to do some breaching interactions like putting explosives, using hammers or pick locking would be really awesome and don't forget about improvements on movements and specially on granade throw this mod is very needed !!

Hope these ideias can help you guys, keep up with the good work !!

The "main" reason why CQB isn't a thing in ArmA 3 is because of the lack of proper buildings / environments to CQB in, that's honestly about it.

I'm saying that because it would be a shame to have a very in-depth mod, but still no place to properly use these new tools.

Take a look at the AFDS thread - some very pretty buildings (amongst other goodies) being designed with CQB in mind.

I'd like to welcome Shay and Zorilya to the team. Both are experienced scripters when at breaching scripts and mods within the game. It's great to have you guys onboard!

Thanks for your comment. I feel that it is an area that has been neglected.

You could conduct most entries reasonably in ArmA 2 give or take a few issues with the building collisions. ArmA 3 is an upgrade, it's much, much better. There are perfectly good urban environments, buildings and rooms within the vanilla maps.

We will have a 'locking door' script which will lock random doors around the map so the tools definitely have their place. We currently have no plan to create our own maps or objects specifically counteracting these problems, maybe down the track.

These look great!

Ooh that looks awesome, will the interfaces be compatible or integrated with ACE3?

Also, will you guys be adding "fluid" door opening like in the old Rainbow 6 games? It'd be amazing to just open the door a tad to chuck in a flashbang, then bash through when it goes boom.

Keep up the awesome work.

We're unsure yet but we hope that it is compatible with most major mods out there. Fluid door opening is already implemented. ;) We just haven't shown it off yet.

Is that a Photoshop mock-up or in-game?

And how are you planning on doing the animations for those options?

Looking forward to ths mod, always loved CQB, wondering if this was ever mentioned before but have you guys seen this addon?

Mock-up currently. Other offshooting branches of door checks and opening will be added with a main hotkey for opening the door (Hopefully this means no more scrolling just to open the door!).

Lewis has MOCAP and is capable of doing a few base animations. Animations link directly to the object. As soon as you select and use the object, the animation occurs and the effect occurs. For example you come to a door, select ram, ram animation and sound plays with model visible, door opens with a percentage for failed breach. Simple.

We have also contacted community animators who will work on them if we can't make them on our end.

Ours is almost completely similar, although with Zorilya's scripting, if we ballistic breach the door will push open slightly so you can then continue to pry the door or push it all the way to the wall. It's easy to pry it open or ballistic breach then put a grenade in and close-off the door. Pretty cool.

Could I expect the breaching variants of 870 MCS and M590A1?For they are more common in military units.

We have just finished modelling the Serbu Shotgun. We'll see what we can do.

[Roach_ 52]

Finally a mod like this.

[Teddybear1 11]

Can you add Keys on the numbers/Scratch Pad ? UpArrow and so on.Finally some use for it....MCC use?

[tobinator 41]

Will it be compatible with the ACE3 menu?

Unsure. You should be able to.

Will it be compatible with the ACE3 menu?

Yes. We're looking at full compatibility.

[lightspeed_aust 681]

Have long thought a well implemented 'SWAT 4' mod based on this game could be a huge winner. Good luck!

Except that moving through buildings still sux balls in the Arma series.

[tobinator 41]

Yes. We're looking at full compatibility.

Good news:D

Have you guys thought about adding Ballistic Shields? This could allow for pretty interesting CQB tactics

Some operators using ballistic shields prefer to hold their pistols sideways or 45 degrees tilted so they can get a better view of their sight, as shown in this image:

It's not essential or whatever, but it'd be pretty cool. :)

working on AI would be enough... I mean to have them walk around in buildings... but still there are no buildings in the game

[tobinator 41]

got an little suggestition for your mod:

I think the author of the addon shown in the video is inactive. There are a few bugs in his version, I think they never get updatet:(. Maybe you can adopt the idea, would be very cool for CQB.

We have considered ballistic shields but unsure if they're on the horizon at present.

We're not working on AI.

We have permissions from Norrin already to use his scripts and modify them. :P
