    Good job with 3den!

    Yeah both the eden editor and the new sounds are great.Eden is very easy to work with and distant explosions are just orgasmic!I couldn't find any other word to describe it. Good job for B.I. on this one! :)

    This game is too hard :(

    You just have to get used the way ArmA works and the controls.So practice will be your best friend here.And you need to remember a few things like use cover and concealment whenever possible.Use rocks,bushes,houses,walls,fences, use the environment to your advantage.Secondly remember that the ground is your second home,you gotta love the ground cause you'll spent most of your time in prone. And there's 3 basic rules when i play games witch always works. Know the place,practice on the island,go for a ride,check the place.If you know the place you know the best way to apprach the enemy. Know the enemy,predict his moves if you know the place you know what i mean.Set ambushes in the right places. Know yourself and what your specialties are.What kind of warfare are you best at? That's it i hope it helps. :)

    Episode 3, "Game Over" mission

    Totally agree.You could find survivors and equipment to help you achive that.And/or the Paradise found mission could've been a warfare type of mission in all Altis.I hope the new campaign will end with a warfare mission or at least include a warfare mission at some point.

    Development Blog & Reveals

    No more angry birds please! :rolleyes: Well they already said about new factions that will be available with the expansion so new factions will need new vehicles of many classes.We might even have new tanks,new gunships who knows?If they are original models like the ones we seen in the artworks i'll be excited.But i'll be even more excited when i see how they will work in the game,if the tank physics problem finaly been fixed,what kind of sounds they will make etc.

    Why i love Arma 2, but Arma 3 makes me meh

    I had the same feeling about futuristic stuff with you until i actually played the game.And then realise they're not futuristic at all,most of the equipment and vehicles are in service now by different countries.They're more like modern stuff and less futuristic!

    Happy New Year

    Happy,healthy and more creative new year to all! :)
  7. I have to agree with you jone_kone.I came to a false conclusion a few days back because of my bad connection.But now i see it clearly that the Nexus was a great step forward for the game.The new fatigue system is more realistic this way.Every little thing you take has it's drwbacks,you can't go rambo style with a LMG and Rocket Launcher.People have to choose their equipment wisely and teamwork actualy works.Now about the sway it's also an extra challenge like you said exccept the binoculars sway. :huh: I still don't understand why SMGs kick more than LMGs but since SMGs are close quarter weapons it's no big of a deal,you mostly fire them from the hip. Congrats to all the hard working people of B.I. and if sometimes we bit@ing is because we love them and the game and we want to make it better. :)

    RC 1.54 (Nexus Update) testing - feedback

    Yeah that's what i like about ArmA games too because most of the elements sound real or close to real.I realised just now that it's beacause my bad connection tearing up the sounds,making them very quick and sometimes i hear even no sound at all.So i can say now positively that the new sounds are actually good and as real as possible.Now about the fatigue system i like how it makes you choose how many equipment you're going to carry.This makes you a better team player.Each different class now counts on the battlefield.

    RC 1.54 (Nexus Update) testing - feedback

    I was able to pay close attention to the far away sounds yesterday and they ain't bad.There's still depth in it and still you can tell the distance of explosion it's just harder to do so with all that hell of explosions around you.I think the other sounds must be a little louder or the explosions a little lower.
  10. major_barnes1987

    RC 1.54 (Nexus Update) testing - feedback

    I agree about the new sound that is just sounds wrong.The new explosions sound louder and everything else not so loud.I understand that explosions must be heard louder than everything else but what about the old sounds?Wasn't good enough?Or real enough?Also i can't tell the distance by the sound anymore.When you heard an explosion far before,the sound was more.... deep.The new ones are quick and loud even in the distance,i understand about close explosions but far?This removes the feeling of depth from the game as far as i'm concerned.Makes the map seems smaller than it is!

    For Those Complaining About The New Fatigue System.

    I agree with rekkless!There is more depth and teamwork this way.Each player has a role.I know casual players will complain about it so maybe a way to turn it on/off would be the best idea for B.I. to keep everyone happy. ;)

    Open to join, online multiplayer tactical game experience?

    Ok count me in too,if it's once in a week i can find the time.I would prefer a full on war mission scaled down as you said.3 to 4 hours is good cause i play 4 hours tops.Good luck with the mission making and if you want any ideas/suggestions let us know. :)

    A3 Campaign - Continuation for Tanoa?

    As chortles said the campaign is more than that.But.... I can't use spoiler tag for some ffffffffunny reason!So i'll try not to make any major spoilers.Well my opinion about the campaign is: Each episode is different and stays true to it's name I agree with chortles about who the antagonist is but there is more to it. At Episode 2 Adapt and at the beginning of Episode 3 Win i've had this strange feeling and a got a message from the game.A message about something in real life you know.A different one from other games.I don't know if they made this intentionaly or i was too thoughtful of the situation.The point is that East Wind campaign is not just another West-good guy vs East bad guy campaign. The only thing i didn't like about the campaign is that there is no proper background story.You get thrown into a situation you know very little about.Of course you learn things later on so i would suggest you to listen as much of your buddies conversations as possible. ;)

    Terrorist attacks in Paris

    R.I.P. For all those poor souls in Paris who will never find out what purpose their death serve! R.I.P. For all those Islam and Western soldiers who will never find who their real enemy is! R.I.P. For all of us who like sheep following the mentaly unstable,the immature and insecure with the excuse: All people following him why not me? R.I.P. For Democracy,Long live Democracy! I'll leave it here as food for thought! ;)

    A3 futuristic

    Of course it's not important when everything in the game "feels" real even if they're not.And i agree about B.I. needs to keep going in this Modern Equipment road!Just not too modern. lol :lol:

    A3 futuristic

    All upgrades and changes are well and welcome but Leo never actualy field tested all of these new technologies.Correct me if i'm wrong but Leo doesn't seen real combat yet unlike Abrams,Challenger,Merkava,T- series.All of those tanks were evolved through years of combat.Forgive me if I'm a little skeptical until i see this new tech proven in the field.

    A3 futuristic

    They anoy me sometimes too but i think i know why B.I. is using Americans for protagonists.Because they want to make you wonder why?Why am i going into this war?What's NATO goal?The guerillas know why they fight,they fight for freedom,but me,you all of us NATO guys why are we fighting for?And questions like that witch can't be occur if you play an AAF or F.I.A. guy. ArmA 3 hits some right spots not only the equipment kind but the political kind also. Anyway i like this near futuristic equipment in ArmA 3,it's more REAL than any other future based games.I mean it is more possible to see ArmA 3 happening in real life than Call of Duty Advanced Warfare.

    A3 Campaign - Continuation for Tanoa?

    Ok i'll try not to give any major spoilers cause i can't use the spoiler tag for some reason.I can only say this: Some "element" from the East Wind campaign will be used on the new campaign in a specific place on the new island! As i said before this is all fun and speculation i might probably be wrong about this. ;)

    A3 Campaign - Continuation for Tanoa?

    No mate but you'll find it,look closely and have in mind everything you've seen in the East Wind campaign! B) And i don't have anything against Miller,i'm one of the few people who like the SoB! :P I said enough about him and the campaign,i will only say this one again: He'll play a big role in the new campaign and he can be either a good guy or a bad guy.He qualifies for both!

    A3 Campaign - Continuation for Tanoa?

    I believe it is set after the events of Altis.There IS some clues about it inside the East Wind campaign.Maybe if you pay attention you'll know.Of course i may be wrong about everything,this is just a speculation.I can only say that according to my theory there is another clue inside tanoa's terrain but i won't spoil anything,just pay close attention to the trailer or the Dev's Diary. ;)

    What's wrong with the official MP Missions?

    I couldn't agree with you more my friend. About Warfare there are missions like Liberation witch is more classic Capture the whole island co op with other players against A.I.And EUTW PvP Warfare witch is faster than Liberation but still very tactical.But yes i would also like an official Warfare mission from B.I. and a dedicated server or two for all of us good ol' fashioned tactical players out there.Who knows,maybe we'll get one soon. The thing about co op missions you people say,well the new co op campaign may be the answer you're looking for.Just be patient... :)

    [MP][CTI-COOP] Liberation (beta)

    Just played yesterday for the first time and i love it.Massive CTI on the whole island,joining armies with other players and working together to win. I have only 2 complaints: 1) I know this is a BETA so this might be fixed later but i hear no gunshots from the enemy A.I.When i walk into a capture zone i see the screen "You are Wounded!" and i have to guess how the f@ck i died.It gets really frustrating. 2) We need more people to play this game although i know we'll never have many of them. :rolleyes:

    [MP][CTI-COOP] Liberation (beta)

    Hey devs and players.I finally was able to get a new Pc build and play ArmA 3 like a human being.I will play this mission very soon,in fact i will play the hell out of it. I'll let you know my opinion or/if any issues occur. Looking forward to play with you guys,see you all on the battlefield! :)

    Any plans for more official campaigns?

    I would also liked myself to drive a combat vehicle cause i love them,especially main battle tanks but i understand it would be kinda out of place.In WIN episode you are not a tank commander in rank you are a rifleman and in the end they have you ordered to do specific stuff.The NATO supervisor is not trusting so you don't have enough freedom.That was bad i would preffered at least for the final episode a CTI based mission like ArmA 2 Harvest Red.That could've been a real win scenario,where you are the commander or you let A.I. to be the commander and you go to the fight with any vehicles and units you buy from base.I would really really love to see the final act of the new campaign to be played out like this.A full NATO assault on the island no restrictions and BS this time.Just might against might!And all this entire force to be under your command.My new CPU will be able to handle this epicness....i hope.
