    Arma 3 Third-Party DLC Pitch Discussion

    I asked if they will accept submissions for campaigns, maybe I missed it, but the question was not answered. You bring up a good point, these new DLC releases not only need to generate enough to money to make the development worth it, but also generate enough revenue to justify the 3rd party developer to provide continued support after release.
  2. I agree, you could of course have a new storyline in the existing timeframe, but being that A4 will likely come out 7-8 after A3, I think most people will want a completely new game, will a completely new storyline, and all new assets. I mean after 7-8 years, people will want something completely new. ETA, I'm not opposed to A4 staying in the 2030"s timeframe, as long as we get many new assets, and the new storyline that is good.
  3. It's pure speculation on my part. With the new third party DLC announcement today, it makes me think that A4 could be 3 or more years out, and this new strategy it to keep the community active. I agree that would save time, and development costs, however.... Arma 4 could be 7-8 years after Arma 3's release, I think people will want a new game, with a new storyline, and all new assets. I was thinking we would get an official A4 announcement sometime in 2018, but now I'm thinking it could be longer, again, that's pure speculation on my part.

    Arma 3 Third-Party DLC Pitch Discussion

    I'm curious, will you accept submissions for a mini campaign that would tie into the current campaign storylines?
  5. Yes, that's what I remember reading, and my memory was correct, only maintenance to the platform after the Tanks DLC. Arma 4 will most likely be at least 2-3 years from a release, while I'm sure A4 will have the usual problems at release, I'm confident it will be playable. Just out of curiosity, what time frame do you guys think A4 will be set in? I'm thinking it will be set in the years around 2020-2025.
  6. I thought I read that after the Tanks DLC there was not going to be any more updates, only maintenance for the platform.
  7. I missed where Jay said there would be new platform updates after the Tanks DLC, where can I find Jay making that statement?

    Arma 3 Photography : Questions and Comments

    I'd say page 173 of the photo thread is one of the best I've ever seen, great pics, and no animations of operators taking selfies, or dabbing. There was a lot of good pics, but I wanted to say that jarrad96 not only had cool pics, but also a good sense of humor.
  10. Cool update, I always liked the HISS, and enclosing the turret is a nice improvement. Come on, you knew someone was going to post that video, along with someone saying, Yo Joe, Knowing is half the battle, and of course, pork chop sandwiches . LoL
  11. Yes, I can only imagine how hard it would be to find the time to develop a mod like this, heck, I've been wanting to create a mini campaign for years now, but can't find the time, and that would only take a fraction of the amount of time. Your Cobra units looked pretty good, have you considered releasing them as a way to introduce people to your mod project. I'm suggesting that because your Cabra units look fairly complete, I could be wrong, but it seems that it wouldn't take much to get them to a state that they could be released. Anyway, just an idea. I wish you luck, this mod project looks very cool.
  12. Oh my God, please tell me we will have a GI Joe mod with all of these assets someday. I can see myself making a mission based on the GI Joe comic book Silent Interlude, issue #21. You are bringing back many childhood memories for me. ETA, the classic 80's song Jump is perfect for your video, nicely done, you made this Gen Xer's day.

    Arma 3 Photography : Questions and Comments

    Awesome pic Greenfist. BTW, did you guys get your fake passports? LoL Looks like we have a spammer in the photo thread, reported.
  14. Well I certainly not saying that Arma is imploding, the truth is Arma has had a good year, but there is no denying that there is an ugly downward trend recently, and that is with DLC content still being released. To reiterate, I'm not saying Arma is going to die, I'm saying that interest, and activity is going to get pretty lean if A4 is three, or more years out. I completely agree that the base will come back if A4 is done well (I personally think it will be) however, my main concern is that we are going to end up with a couple of pretty boring years waiting for A4 to be released.
  15. I agree, it would be difficult to go any further into the future, and remain a milsim game. It is likely that A4 will go back in time, the question is how far back. Interesting, I didn't know steam had that kind of data available to the public. The data confirms my belief that the base is contracting, that's not at all surprising with a game that is 4.5 years old. This is why I hope A4 is already well under development, and we are only 2 years from a beta release. While I don't think the core of the Arma base will abandon the series, the base is clearly shrinking already, and if A4 is 3-4 years out, there will be a lot of rebuilding of the player base needed.
  16. It does seem as if Tanks will be the last DLC/meaningful update to A3. That leads us to the this question, how long can the community remain intact playing a four year old game if there is no new development? I'm not sure the community will stay intact more than 1-2 years after Tanks. If Arma 4 is three or more years out, Arma will have to hope it can entice the community to come back. Needless to say it would be much better to release A4 while the community is still intact, rather than having to rebuild your base back up.
  17. It looks like a pretty cool little SMG. ETA: Your English is pretty good, there is no need to apologize.

    I think it's a bad attempt at humor.

    I was thinking that Malden was somewhere in the Adriatic Sea.

    Apex Protocol Campaign

    I know this thread needs to be moved, but I'll ask this here now. Does anyone know if BI still plans to do a proper single player conversion for the Apex campaign?
  22. I agree, with no idea of when there may be an Arma 4, a new campaign DLC could be a good way to bridge the gap until there is a new Arma.
  23. Yes, this is an interesting new addition to a mil-sim game. I think we all develop a bit of a misconception of war as we have fun killing 1s and 0s in a game we enjoy. This new addition will hopefully add more of a human element to the game, and players can see that war has consequences.

    Please fix VTOL power curve

    I saw in a change log that they made the VTOLs more resilient to damage, rather than fix the flight mechanics, that's unfortunate. While the Blackfish does't explode on fairly light touchdowns any longer, your pilot still gets injured. I was just testing the Blackfish, and the flight mechanics are just too unpredictable. I can be at 0% throttle, and not descend, I have also been at 70% throttle, and descending. There is just no real predictability with the flight mechanics. If you don't get it just right, you really don't have any control of the aircraft.
  25. I'm getting the same error.
