    Automatic Mod Downloading

    Speaking of attention span (of a potatoe), did you actually read what you quoted? "Being an Arma / Windows / Mod install geek does not mean your valuable player"

    Bohemia's realism.

    Has anyone seen magnetic hovering vehicles? Lasers? Exosuits? None of this is visible in A3 presentation. Only a bunch of artistic models derived from real ones, all using current technologies of current weapons and vehicles. If A2 had true representation of tanks, interiors, real gunner work simulated, real weapon systems, range finders, if it had complete chopper avionics represented, all buttons (ie, if it was Steel Beast + DCS), then yes, we would have lost something by going into fictional land. but we have none of that, because this is not the purpose of ArmA.

    Real reasons for war in Lybia

    In fact I agree with you, my govt, my country press are presenting things to me the way they see it fit their agenda. There is very probably no innocent killing in the scale presented to us, probably isolated incidents shown as if they were a general truth, radio calls from unknown people stating horrible things, without any evidence behind, etc... all this to justify our intervention. what I'm saying is that your govt, and your press, is doing the same (often in the opposite way, but the same anyway). I don't know exactly how the situation is shown to you, but if you tell me to not believe my press, I'll say the same to you. For example in chechnya, while not denying the acts of terrors done there since long time (if I'm not mistaken, this area is in a regular state of crisis with central russia for centuries, in fact since they are considered russian country... or maybe my source ain't true, I can't really know ;) ), the fact that the area is full of gas & oil is a major factor in the intervention by russian army. They used the terror acts at their advantage to maintain a firm grip on chechnya resources. If the area was empty, you can be sure Putin would let the people live their live there without interfering. Same for Georgia and their pipeline

    Automatic Mod Downloading

    Many games have this feature In server config, you can indicate : * what mods server is running and requires for client * For mods, what method of download is used : from server itself and from inside the game, from server itself through HTTP dowload, from HTTP download on external source * For each mod, the url (local or remote) from which the mod can be downloaded Clients connect, mod download starts with a dialog showing progress, that client can stop anytime. when download is finished, the game is restarted with the correct mod loaded. voila .... With external source for download, you have zero stress put on game server. Best of both world. all this has already been asked numerous time to BI I think their stance currently is that it would require too much change on the game to be done, but that was with A2 dev. Maybe A3 is more tailored for this, and it is something they can accept to do, who knows?

    Arg! It looks like you missed my point. You really think I believe what my govt/press is trying to sell me?

    Real reasons for war in Lybia

    I already explained my point of view about our intervention in Libya in the other Libya thread, to me the main reason isn't oil (it's not peacekeeping either,ofc) I'm just using oil as the easy example of hidden motives

    Real reasons for war in Lybia

    OK, blindly believe your press, fine by me (and with that, I'm pretty sure you'll decide that I consider Chechnya to never have done any harm to any russian.... and you'll be wrong). Russia is the holy grail of countries and does everything fine, unlike these greedy westerners who do it all wrong ... I guess it's OK for you if I blindly believe my own press, then ... about Libyan govt and army killing dozens of innocents and NATO being on a peacekeeping mission. About thousands of refugees fleeing Libya in fear of the Army threat. We absolutely never would go to war because of personal interest of our prez, we only move to save innocent people. We don't care about Libyan Oil. Btw, isn't there oil in Chechnya? ...

    Real reasons for war in Lybia

    The same amount who died in WTC? A bit more than the losses in Algeria conflict few decades ago? Does that make Iraq any more valid? Afghanistan? I don't think so Does that validate what we french did in Algeria? F*** hell, certainly not! There are plenty of justifications thrown at all of us for what our govts decide to do, all grossly overstated, simplified by manipulated press organs to make the justification valid. You agree it's the case for western govts and press? Just apply the same logic to your country. There's no reason it's any different. If I'm going to be picky, I've yet to hear about western journalist murdered because he/she wasn't following the official line.... Though, it's probably because I've not been paying enough attention to smtg that is now carefully hidden, tbh

    I never said our media were never lying to us, where did you read that? I just find very amusing how western are depicted full of deceit while russians are perfect. None is perfect, quite the contrary

    If you state that we are spoon-fed false information by western medias about the situation in wars we are involved it, please, let us return you the favor. Russia going to war has certainly no better reason than US (or any1 going war, mainly) doing so If you want to play the "you are lied to" game, play it to its full extent. You are lied to, too.

    Arma 3 engine

    You know what? I'm going right now at BF3 forums whining ENDLESSLY that their maps are freaking TINY (yes, even the "much larger" they so boast in E3 previews), can't handle 10kmx10km and that is freaking TERRIBLE and INNACCEPTABLE in 2011, when a simple engine like Virtual Reality can do it for years now, then whining endlessly on how their AI handling in the open is completely poor..... Should I go further, or do you get the picture ? there's a distinct difference between "it's terrible and unacceptable because game X already does it" and "it could use improvement". Every engine could use improvement, you can't have it all packed together. If it was as easy as you paint it, another company would have done it already! BIG NEWS : only 1 has tried so far, and failed badly! If what you seek if BF3 engine only, then by all means, go play BF3 when it's out, and stop playing A2/A3, BF3 is going to be an excellent game by the look of it. If you like ArmA specific : scale, then this specific comes with a price. You should accept it, as simple as that. * I have ArmA scale * I want a lag free game * I want BF3 destructible environment Typical mutual exclusive You probably notice BC2 hit detection is not really the best, and not on par with previous Dice titles. Could it be due to server being slightly more loaded by physics, and notably, destruction calculations? Could you now imagine said destruction calculations transposed in ArmA scale? which is like what? 5x BF scale at the very least? What kind of magic will BI pull to get this done? Or is there any reason to not take into account the scale, and hope that you'll never have 15 simultaneous building collapse on a single server, for example? Or, perhaps you don't care about scale, in which case, why play ArmA? (if I'm going to resume ArmA to scale, which is imho its main specific) There's room for improvement Terrible? Not really

    Well, I don't come patronizing people about how they should play the game. Ofp/ArmA is not dedicated to coop, sry to burst your bubble.

    You didn't play much of OFP in 2001, did you, to know so little about what this engine aims for and what it is capable of? EDIT : and again, you still didn't address what seem to be your main issue : how are OP proposal going to change any level of realism in A3? How are they going to affect the way you play the game? The way I see it, it won't change anything for you. Not a iota
  17. well, I've seen 2 vids of the tank run demo, and definitely, they are not the same run. 2 guys get out of the burning tank near the end of one of them (when it gets destroyed by the PLA base defense), and the guy playing nearly squished one of them, while only 1 guy got out on the second vid. This, + other differences (like player watching rocket artillery fly-by in 1 of the video, not present in the other one) If this is pre-rendered, they made 2 versions of it

    I see the "I'm holier than thou" realism-brigade I stronger than ever. Mention the word "PvP" in a thread, let it live 5 hours, it will have bred 10 "CoD kiddies", "CSKid", "leet kids", etc... It's like an automated feature in these boards. Couldn't you just list his points, and check them : * He asks for an auto-join feature. How is it going to alter A3 realism? * He mentions "collecting points" and such, because, big news, there are such things in some PvP map, and BIG NEWS, there are such things in the most popular Coop maps too! How is it going to alter A3 realism, again? And from there, we go, again, on posts about how stupid PvP players are, how they all are kids, how public PvP game are horrible, no teamplay, blabla (when, ofc, the average public Coop game is full of people instantly coordinating together, never lonewolfing with their Sniper+AT rounds, not at all, nonononono, it never happens in public coop ... /sarcasm ), without, ever, explaining how this is going to alter awww so cherished A3 realism. The only argument is picking apart the "collecting points" part of his post, automatically deduce he means adding by BI charater ranking in game (!!!! where the f**** did you read that in his post? oO and again, ranks are in most major game modes seen in A2, PvP and coop alike ), and go ranting about PvP people, like always Writing "PvP" in a thread is like giving permission to rant without relation to actual topic of the thread, so it seems.

    Remove the blinding sun in A3 please

    Blinding sun, I've no problem with that. Having a whole scene complete dark because there's a milimeter of brightness in the upper right corner, and the game cannot handle dynamic lighting correctly? No, thank you. I'd ask for a greatly improved lighting. Something that doesn't make a scene go from bright to dark and vice versa by turning your head 5 degrees down. Something that doesn't overcripple you most of the time, btw. Realism, yes, unreallistic difficulty, why?
