  1. Just some messing around in the editor, as per 90% of my time spent playing Arma these days. (I don't know if it's the latest Devbranch update or something about the terrain, but the wheel-dust effects look really good now!) Addons used: CUP Terrains, Weapons, RHS USAF, Delta Hawk's 80's-90's BDU pack

    The Arma community has a great heart. Sure, we have our questionable extremities, our oddities, our bickering, our politicking, but the love of the game at the heart of it all brings us together more than it divides us- not something everyone can say these days! Glad to hear there are such awesome folks out there, even now. Bravo, guys.

    I sense a drinking game coming on. Take a shot every time someone asks that. (I call it "Surefire way to destroy my liver")
  4. Witchcraft! Beautiful, endlessly useful witchcraft! I want to go there!

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

    Yup! In fact, it's one of the startup parameters.
  6. And finally, to round up the closest thing I have to a theme, I present the last in my series on the Arma titles of yore. Today's offering? The future. A CSAT patrol boat just after a routine cargo check, Tanoa, circa 2035 Members of an as-of-yet unidentified CSAT special forces group, Tanoa, 2035. The crew of a downed Blackfish fight off a local rebel group intent on capturing the aircraft, Tanoa, circa 2035. NATO has no official presence on Tanoa. This image is clearly doctored. Mods used: Direone's Static Animations Pack
  7. I love the screenshots people are making with the new (old!) terrains already. Keep up the eye candy! Haven't had a chance to kick around on these yet, myself, but it's wonderful to have such a complete history of Arma's terrain history. Thanks a ton, CUP team, you guys really do rock!
  8. Another day, another round of pictures in honor of the past games in the Arma series- today's offerings are inspired by Arma 2 and another faction it introduced- the CDF! Two National Guardsmen assist a driver after a minor accident, circa 2009. A CDF pilot demonstrates the capabilities of the Air Force's new L-159 Alca, circa 2015. A Chernarussian aid convoy rolls through northern Takistan, circa 2010. Mods used: RHS AFRF, RHS GREF, Leight's Opfor Pack, Direone's Static Animations. (Oh, and while I'd love to make a set of OFP-inspired pictures, there are far more talented photographers out there that have outshone me- check out their work in the CUP terrains page!) (And yes, the screen in the second one is blank. It's magic.)
  9. In honor of the Arma series' 15th anniversary, I thought I'd set up a few screenshots in Arma 3 reminiscent of older titles in the series. First up is the first game with the Arma title- and my favorite faction from it. Two RACS soldiers and their American advisor see to a flat tire on one of the Corps' ubiquitous Land Rovers- circa 2006. Royal Guards run an active-shooter simulation in Paraiso's financial district- circa 2006. The predecessor to the famous 'Angry Bird,' an AH-6 buzzes low over the sands near Ortego- circa 2006. Mods used: RHS USAF, RHS AFRF, Leight's Opfor, NIArms Complete Pack, and Direone's (updated!) static animations pack

    [WIP] Static animations pack

    Whoo! Thanks for the update, my good man! I'll be sure to make use of these immediately!

    Mig-21 PFM (Fishbed-F)

    Yes! The MiG-21 has a drag chute! It deploys from that little cone at the base of the tail. Source: Shitloads of DCS and deploying it at inappropriate times :ph34r:

    Telling an addon-maker to 'kill themselves' because you don't get what you want from them? I see the twelve-year-old are out in force. That's just pathetic behavior, especially towards someone providing a service for free, and using their own time and resources to do it. But entitlement is a hell of a drug for some folks! PRACS is a fantastic mod being worked on by some fantastic folks; what you give people with the resources and skills available is really something special, and if even half of what was in Arma 2 ends up in 3, it'll still be above and beyond what anyone has any right to demand. Hell, with some people acting like they are, I commend you for even going forward with the release- I can't say I'd feel nearly as charitable! Keep doing what you're doing, man; I know there are far more people who appreciate the work of this community's addon-makers than there are dumbass children like that.

    Excellent news! I look forward to pimping displaying the beautiful assets as best I can!
  14. Y'know, BI really missed the ball not calling the expansion "Straight Outta Tanoa"
  15. If I ever end up in some sort of Hodor-esque situation where my entire vocabulary is reduced to a single word, I humbly request that word be "Xi'an". I swear, this bird is just proof that the truly pretty ones have curves. The Not-A-Xi'an is pretty, too, I guess. Mods Used: Nothin'
  16. I actually really, really like this idea! It's feasible for the near-future setting, opens up more engine-supported scripting options for potential modification, and as you said, seems easy to implement! Y'know, until the machines rise up and destroy us all. But I've been brushing up on my binary for just such an occasion. Beep-boop.

    Arma 3 - APEX - NEWS and SPECULATIONS

    Oh god. BigDog. It's a good thing I didn't feel like sleeping tonight... .____.

    Thank you for this feature Bohemia.

    Oh, I agree with your sentiment- map drawing is an excellent tactical tool! I can finally use it to communicate my incredibly complex tactical plans. Unfortunately for my squadmates, I mostly strategise in terrible doodles and hieroglyphics.
  19. At a US supply base on the shores of Lago Cocibolca, the fate of the world will be determined by an Army Without Borders... Mods used: NI Arms, RHS AFRF, Leight's OPFOR, UnderSiege Patches and Insignia

    Arma 3 Photography : Questions and Comments

    Speaking as a former art major, I LOVE that new pic by Evil Organ. Absolutely fantastic use of contrast and negative space, dude!

    You must understand, I've done far worse things with far less motivation. Hehe- but you're right, I don't think the world is ready for something like that. :D

    Mig-21 PFM (Fishbed-F)

    This "Real Life" feature keeps getting in the way of a lot of fun, seems like. I know it has been acting up for me lately, too; I don't know what the programmers were thinking, but its incompatibility with most games really needs to be addressed by them! And hey, you toss any sort of PSD template at me, I could give a Hello Kitty Fishbed a swing. It would probably be an abomination, but I assume that's the point.

    RHS- "You'll laugh, you'll love, you'll learn" I'm available as a motivational slogan consultant. :P
  24. I SEE that Liberation UI! And what a great choice of mission it is! :D Just some shots of my playing with R0adki11's excellent MiG-21, an aircraft I adore.

    Mig-21 PFM (Fishbed-F)

    Yeah, I dunno! I was wondering that myself, you'd think it'd be a model issue. Oh man, that'd be great! I'm still not much of a skinner outside of IL-2 and terrible indie games, but I'm really tempted to get my feet wet with the Balalaika...
