Official Warfare/CTI

[beeman 11]

Hey, I was wondering if there's been any official word on a vanilla Warfare or Capture The Island mission for ArmA3. That is to say, I'd like an official version made by Bohemia so we can have all the nice, fancy UI, structures, scripting and so on that you could just play without searching the workshop or armaholic or anythin' like that. Only information I can find about this is some pretty old threads where nobody seems to know much of anything about it or just tell people to go play custom warfare-like missions. While I love me some Benny(A2, haven't tried for A3 yet), vanilla warfare is easier to get into and quicker to wrap-up...especially if you're introducing someone to ArmA(which I do every now and again).

 

I'm guessing nobody's heard anything official 'bout this yet so I guess I'll also ask: what's currently the most stable and up-to-date custom warfare mission floatin' about? Specifically, I'd need one with the option to play against an AI-controlled team 'cause I tend to play with just two to five of my buddies. That's just how we've always played ArmA goin' all the way back to the first(also why we like Xeno's Domination over most of the custom edits that're out there for that game-mode).

 

Honestly, the only thing keeping my little group of friends from playing ArmA3(we all own it, just don't play it) is the lack of vanilla warfare, it's kind of important to us as I'm sure it is to a lot of other people as well. Would really like to get an official statement on this as to whether it's coming eventually or not. In the meantime, I guess we'll just have to keep alternating between ArmA1 and 2 warfare(and domination).

EUTW CTI is not a sandbox Warfare mission in the way we know it since warfare was introduced with Armed Assault. ArmA III is lacking a lot and on top of all lack it is the vanilla warfare modules that made it so easy for everyone to set up warfare CTI on a mutiplayer server. Warfare is the sole reason why is still prefer ArmA III over ArmA III. ArmA II is lacking as well the modules as well as the units for a true warfare experience like in Armed Assault and ArmA II. Compared to ArmA II, ArmA II still feels like a downgrade with added nice gfx to compensate for the playability value.

 

Back then in 2007 it was the introduction of warfare that revived the clasic military style multiplayer for ArmA a lot.

@Beagle, Indeed content wise A3 seems to lack a bit for Warfare, a CUP or RHS version of it would probably fix it, But i'm not sure if people would play.

In my experince with the series, the best way to keep your player count on a public server low forever is to demand the use of mods.

Unfortunatly, Yes.

It'd be nice if we could get word from someone in Bohemia to let us know if they even plan to make a warfare mission for ArmA3 at any point. I mean, it's not the end of the world if they don't, but it was a really solid game-mode and didn't require a full server to enjoy it. It's also the best way to introduce people to ArmA I've found. Custom missions are too overwhelming when you're tryin' to get used to the ArmA control scheme/UI and Zeus requires a decent GM and a handful of people to really enjoy.

 

I kind of figured they'd be holding off on it 'till they optimize ArmA3 a lot...which they have. Or maybe wait 'till they put out a few DLC(like the ones currently out) and release it with an expansion or somethin'. Especially when I heard that the new island is supposed to be smaller than Altis...thought it'd be the perfect opportunity for some warfare. If they're not going to release a warfare mission anytime soon...or ever, they could at least let us know. Would really be a downer if they never do, though. I feel like warfare is the quintessential ArmA game-mode. It's the best way to show off everything the game as a platform has to offer.
