Expansion: Arma: Queen's Gambit

[dm 9]

This isnt a request thread, but I'll play...

- Rank in users profil (so when you play online you be able to drive & pilot the unit [useful for Evolution V3.0]) by using ARMA ID...

Not gonna happen - thats what the player slots are for, if you want pre-defined ranks at the start of play, set the rank of the unit when you place it in the editor, problem solved. (Plus, if it were selectable, everyone would just select the highest rank to start with thus pointless. Or, if it were points "earned" those who dont play evolution are a bit stuck, dont you think?)

- Ancient OFP side (C.R.E.W : Civil, Afrika, C.E.I, U.S.A) with ARMA side (R.E.S : Royal, Euro, Far & Middle East)...

This is the how manyth time you've asked for this? If you still mean the config entries, then they're already there - the only "sides" that exist in the engine ate 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. They just get defined as West, East, Res, Civil. You don't make any sense with this request (again)

- P3D using multiple texture system (urban, black [night], blue [cop], green, snow, desert, jungle, wood, ocean), the P3D choose texture in fonction of type of map (must be added in MAP CPP) or time...

P3D's are already capable of supporting multiple textures. It would be nice to have a "camo" drop down, rather than having to have multiple lists. But, why have the camo automated by the map? What if there are mission/story reasons to have a different camo than the type of terrain? Stop trying to limit my game please.

- KA52 (same as KA50 but 2 seat)

Why? I'd rather have an Mi24 than another hardly used airframe.

- Camera view for plane & chopper (not only the Zoom of cockpit [touch V])

Already possible ingame, just none of the BI units are setup like that. If you looked into the configs then you'd know.

- Sonic boom for plane (Rad script)

Yes, but hardcoded into the engine would be better than bogging down with scripts. Still, you can add the script in the editor, so it is possible. Dont be so lazy

- T90 or T80UM

And what western tank would you propose to counter? Leo, Challenger etc dont make sense, and 3 versions of the M1 will draw just as much whineing as just having the T-72. I'd much rather have AFV interiors than another tank...

- Active panel [M.F.D] on plane & chopper (showing weapons left, map, AA & AG radar, and other stuff) [like the AH64 by Franz or the DKMM MI28]

- Chaff & Flare, Electronical Counter Measer

- Radio Radar, AA radar & AG radar (for plane & chopper),

- Scrambler for Radar, IR & L.A.S.E.R

All possible in the engine, just because the BI units dont have it doesnt mea it cant be done. Also, since when can you scramble laser light?

- Knife, Gas mask, Lacrymo Grenade, Flash Grenade, Sun glasses

Wtf is a "lacrymo grenade"? everything else is already possible.

- Heart Beat Detector Binocular (Raven Shield Athena Sword)

Yes, because every soldier in the field has a heart beat detector... Stop trying to get crap from other games into "core" ArmA.

The detail make great game

Why are you posting splinter cell pics then? That game might have been fun, but realistic it was not....

Retextures. Lol.

We're gonna be charged for retextures

[Dallas 9]

I prefere WIP over rendered images. How are you gonna start a hype without WIP screens? I really don't care, I'll buy anything with a original BIS trademark on it.

The response to Queen's Gambit   must be midsummer madness.

After all the complaints about lack of news and not being kept informed, a flyer is released about  a project, and all hell breaks loose.

Beginning to think the community has picked up some sort of virus that results in mass hysteria.

I bought my Czech edition last November, and yes  its evolution has been slower than hoped for, but that should put timescales in perspective.

 As ArmA is still "one" of my main hobbies,  I will  still buy it,  and carry on saving up for a bells and whistles graphic card.

[mattxr 9]

i think if there was no main bugs in 1.08 people wouldnt complain so much but without much offical information its all speculation and untill we get proved wrong it will go on.

retextured units ... it's WIP , give them time to polish it

Showing a WIP product in this stage is very bad marketing.

This topic is the proof of it.

in theory the hold game is a result of bad marketing, giving ppl impression that this is a "new" game

anyway the only problem is the price i think, wouldnt be that annoying if its sells for 15 euro for a mission new model pack

[dm 9]

Errr, what?

ArmA was always billed as "OFP 1.5"

Are people forgetting things, or making them up to suit their arguments?

thats what i mean, ppl forgot the fact that its bound to be OFP, upgraded. Instead, they want/see something else(which i have no idea what it is)

thats why i put it as "in theory", as basicly its ppl who misput the game so much and get disappointed so fuckin much

I justwant to tell all the Naysayers:

Look at how unfinsihed and full of bug was the first release of Operation Flashpoint in 2001. The campaign was unplayable and was not able to finish it beacuse  things got stuck up in objects and such. There were trmendous ammount of bugs in 1.00. OFP reached its glory only in resistance. Its story its gameplay and the engine was fixed up continously and many great addonmaker made the game into what it was. A pretty damned good game.

I understand that the first priority should be the editing tools. But how much time did pass from OFP 1.00 till the first official editing tool was released? Almost a year.

Many ppl thought that, they will get a game at such quality like their old patched, bugfixed, and tremendously modded OFP. And they were dissatisfied with the results. But to be Honest the first release of OFP was like this too. A simple skeleton with basic aspects and pretty much possibilties.

Do not forget that, the community perfected the games alongside with BIS.

If BiS does not fix the engine modders cannot work. And they are doing it. I bought the german version of ArmA. and ever since then they are fixing it. Continously.

I would vouch for that BiS will not stop supporting us with patches until 1.96 like they did in OFP.

They went from 1.00 until 1.96 with almost the same stepping.

If anyone says that this is not support than what it is?

A bit of topic:

I really dont think that taking up how buggy OFP was 6 years ago is gonna help BI today. If I turn the question around a bit:

How come they release a game 6 years later that is as buggy as OFP was?

I think that is why we are so many that are dissapointed with Arma. We expected a game less buggy than OFP BECAUSE it was so long ago that that exellent game was released.

But thats just my thoughts of course.

Edit: LOL I just saw that you actually brought that up. My fault buddy.

acturally the speed of patching ArmA up is a bit faster then it was in OFP, but then the list is a bit longer in ArmA so its still a long way to go for BI

anyway any farther would be too OT

[vilas 473]

hahaha

just one can look at disappointment topic or troubleshooting topic

one thing good i saw on screens is soldier in M1 helmet - usefull to make Vietnam or 1985 addons of US

new units ?

if we had tools we could do much more awaited addons, not another reskin of existing units or little changed existing unit (remove selection helmet, or new hat)

new island ? even without tools we can now download Everon beta

with tools we could do more

most problematic is engine, expansion as new addons+island is for me ***

i wanna see:

- AI not using RPG/AT weapons against man,

- vehicles going good in column, instead of BMP colliding with T72 and flying,

- realistic dammage engine,

- bulet proof materials, if 2 bullets in hand kill man in 0.1 second, if soldier in vest and civilian in t-shirt suffer the same from pistol bullet, if M113/BMP blows up after 2 box of 5.56 bullets , if whole big building colides in a small heap what can i say ?

some people are working at riping existing stuff without official tools, so maybe without this we could be able to edit ARMA stuff

for me this "expansion" means - instead of tools and free addons, pay for another addons, i wait for more informations, because at the moment it doesn't look funny

hummm thats sounds reasonable enought, but then the same old words is "too early to say anything"

better off stop guessing and wait for the news

Apparently, Queens Gambit would be from Black Element Software, not BIS.

http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/47468

Black Element seems to be Czech too and part of Sproket/Idea Games.

[NeMeSiS 11]

Heh, BIS, BIA, BAS and now BES? How confusing

[Yeb 0]

Yup it is.

Btw, i hope this guns dealing won't bring to arma a rpg-like campain and a counter strike gameplay: kill terrorists to get money.

[Rebel Man 431]

Cool, I hope they give the U.S soldiers some big goggels, not the small one in ArmA:

Anyone know what are the new unit ?

Can anyone respond please ?

[Danbri 0]

Ehum... I noticed that the name for one of the campaigns is "Royal Flush"!!! Now I´m not gonna make some CRAP jokes about TOILETTES but is that really a good name on a campaign??

[Callsign 128]

Maybe "Royal Flush" relates to the PMC characters actually being championship poker players (explaining the hat and glasses) gone bad on sahrani after the casino refuses to pay up

I think the expansion could be pulled off well with a little more thought put into it than the original Arma campaign and a little more work (not that BIS arent working on the very contrary i expect). I hope it wont be just PMC models instead of soldier models with a slightly different mission style, PMC units operate completely differently to standard troops, i just hope 505 or BIS take note of this fact

Royal Flush

Not to mention there are a whole crap load of other definitions for the word flush.

Other Definitions

EDIT: Might as well throw this one in here too. Queen's Gambit

Royal Flush is a terminology that is used in poker.

It takes on all and brings all pots. The highest value and has the lowest chance of appearing in game.

You can't be serious. A royal flush happens after a king, queen, prince or princess uses the toilet.

[-ZG-BUZZARD 0]

Well, you've got the Title, Queen's Gambit, and the campaign name, Royal Flush... I'm sure the rest of the deck of cards will show up as well...

Unless it's meant that someone or something is flushed out... that could also be the case...
