    I’m not a big user of the sci-fi mods for the series, but I tend to download every mod I see available so have a very large collection of them from over the years.

    Regards the Batmobile as we used to call it when I watched the original series, when it first came to British t.v 60’s (sorry I am that old:o), this model looks a lot better than that one did in the series. I of course had to take it for a drive around, when I first got the mod, and to be honest it was pretty good, being able to swap from normal drive to bike style, also the opening screen/roof, is really nice as well.

    Oh yes it's a good effort and I really like the how he's modelled the Tumbler almost exactly as it is in the films. I guess I just want to be a bit ambitious and try my own model! I actually have this book:

    Batmobile: The Complete History

    Which has some decent images. I want this one too:

    The Dark Knight Manual : Tools, Weapons, Vehicles and Documents from the Batcave

    I'd love to do a desert camo as well as the 'shadow' skin and even see if it can have an ejection feature with the Batpod. Having 'The Bat' would also be awesome. In fact it would be great to have a mod much like GTA San Andreas's "Dark Knight mod" where you have Wayne Manor, the Batcave and Batman's toys to play with!

    I'm looking to get a GTX 670 graphics card by Christmas which will be a big upgrade from my venerable GTX 295. However, I know the CPU is a bottleneck and currently I have a Core i7 950 3.06GHz CPU. There are hybrid air/liquid coolers on the market now which makes water cooling a bit easier. Could I get it up to 4GHz at least? Possibly with something like Corsair's H100.

    Swords just do not work in Arma....

    The game's full title is Armed Assault not Gun Assault though....

    Brilliant idea Icewindo. I think once you release a mini-addon set, you'll have a lot more interest. I can easily imagine siege game modes and castle assaults. You should work on a medieval 'officer class' such as having Richard the Lionheart and á¹¢alÄḥ ad-DÄ«n.

    Military Requests

    Other Requests

    Coop Zombie Mod (With different types of difficulty and game modes)

    Iron Man suit (that can fly, with all the shiz from the film ><)

    Lightsaber Weapon (different colours and possibly a combat system)

    Melee Weapons (Knifes, Swords, Shields, Spears, Bow And Arrows)(Another Combat system)

    More Animal Playables (One which can fly and attack, Lions, Eagles, Tigers, Hawks, Bulls etc etc)

    Other playable Animals/Aliens (Predator and Alien, the Special Infected from L4D, an other type of monsters etc)

    Oh Jeebus ... please leave this game IMMEDIATELY !

    Hah, there's a zombie mod that's out which has done well for ArmA 2/OA sales. Icewindo is working on a

    and folks like IceBreakr and Bad Benson have released and continue to work on Zetaborn aliens. The only limitation placed upon ArmA is the users' imagination. ;)

    Oh, they are very nice indeed. All we need now is an East London map, and some models of frightened residents and we can join in the Olympic spirit!

    Why stop there? Forced elocution lessons or a strafing run, pretty easy choice ;).

    Great work so far Rock, keep it up. And what the hell the government's doing with the F-35 is beyond me. If they're so much for U-turns they should've become driving instructors.

    Not quite, but they had him shout down the phone to the Sec Def. Telling him the only way he'd send up a plane into the barrier is if he was the co-pilot, made me smile! Plus when he's on the flight deck of the carrier, he yells to scramble aircraft :D. Only Neeson can pull that off.

    *Contains spoilers* (for those that may care)

    I've seen the film and I like it, but it is quite flawed. Namely the script, characters and the plot structure is a little all over the place. The action is quite good and the effects are very well made but I found it to be quite sparse. There's clever references to the boardgame but they don't make the most of the concept. Instead of this being a Battle of Midway type fleet on fleet action. We just get three destroyers going up against three warships. We lose two and so it's just up to one to finish them off before taking on the 'super ship'. It just feels a bit conservative as if they were afraid to go with the concept fully. The bit with the battleship will either be viewed as inspired or utterly senseless. I won't say more on that one. I think Liam Neeson and Alexander Skarsgård were sorely underused, Rihanna didn't get her clothes off but she got them wet. She was all right actually, not as horrible as I first thought she would be. The alien ships have a slight Transformers feel to them but they're interesting with their missile pegs (yes you heard that correctly). The infantry are like the spare characters of Crysis 1 and 2, but they work. Their motives for wanting to conquer us isn't made clear - was it born out of warmongering or desperation? Quite a few people think who shot first is ambiguous and actually think the US Navy started an interstellar war. I think they were spoiling for a fight and simply wanted to get a good look at our weapons before opening up. There is a fair bit of weapon fetishising so military buffs will be pleased if a little dulled by what's going on in the film. Scriptwise it's a non-floater but the action, the end sequence and the music just about prevent this needing a lifeboat.

    3/5

    I have to say I find it amusing whenever someone criticises the concept of a story. Pretty much all stories of fantasy are rooted in the ridiculous. Is it honestly less ludicrous to have a story where a guy devotes his whole life to dressing up as a bat, beating up criminals with an obliging butler? Or a galaxy far far away where a guy wears a Toys 'R' Us costume with a rebreather and swings a glowy sword? It's how you ground the story in some sort of reality, such as conveying enough drama and making the characters and their surroundings compelling enough that's important. Not whether the story comes from a boardgame or the comics

    Cause Chenarus is a extemely poor country.

    And The Russians Hate Chenarus and the wont sell top of the line weapons

    thats like russia selling america weapons while at war...

    Chernarus may have found lucrative pockets of gas and oil. Perhaps we're seeing a rapid expansion due to a change in its economic fortunes.

    Chernarus is poor in regular arma 2, it's not in PCDF's universe.

    Also who says Chernarus is buying from Russia, there are tons of post-USSR countries that have remaining Soviet equipment.

    +1 :icon14:

    I'm working on my World Invasion addon set/mod (whichever way it goes). Seeing as I start with Chernarus. I would very much like to use your addons when I'm finished. Keep up the great work. It's one of my favourite projects here. Love the camo colour too!

    Again another quick update, just want to confirm this project isn't dead in the water. I am working on my very first model ever, which obviously is the first for this project. It is the 'BLAA' infantry caste. I intend on working on the Wedge Ship/Drone secondly. If anyone has any requests then let me know. As soon as I have a full mesh, I'll post an image here. Apologies for a lack of updates, I'm dedicating my time to this project. Hopefully I can get something done soon.

    Typically I like to get myself involved in awkward and difficult projects, but they wouldn't challenge nor stimulate me otherwise. I'm creating a new alien model from scratch and I want to get the right head shape. Here's my reference material:

    blaahead.th.jpg

    blaahead1.th.jpg

    infantrycaste3.th.jpg

    infantrycaste4.th.jpg

    I've tried creating a sphere (X, Y and Z values are 0.5 with vertical and horizontal segments set to 40) but I need to warp it to get that sort of almond type shape (with the odd imperfections/kinks). I tried using the space warp feature from the edit menu but that just crashes my O², so I don't know whether it'll create the desired effect or not. Any suggestions would be welcome!

    Thank you.

    Map's looking good fella, can't wait to see it with some proper green English foliage! I've just started work on a Western Europe map myself, mine's the other side of London though, and I've only just finished my Sat image tonight so I'm a waaaay off release lol, I'm sure

    interested in how your planning to tackle your map's theme, the mail boxes etc that others have been talking about - my map is a built up urban area and I'm starting to worry about getting the English feel across without too much resource hogging detail and objects :/

    One question / thought btw, is your terrain all finished now? Just looks a little flat to me - for good game play I'd suggest you break up the map a little more, doesn't really matter how but you normally need some sort of cover, whether it's buildings and walls, vegetation, elevation variation etc. Large open areas with no cover or variation don't lend themselves well to varied game play. Having said that, it DOES look good for vehicle and armor use :).

    Anyways, Good Luck!

    British sir, we're all in it together remember ;). I was hoping someone was working on a British territory.

    Jez, you definitely rang some bells there. Great work so far. I always thought someone would go for the Isle of Wight seeing as it's an island. But Kent is one of the nicest part of the UK ("England!" shat up) and I imagine there's plenty of flat terrain there? Should one want to encourage tank battles or random strolls with the local women from Strood. I think someone's made British road signs if you want to use them!

    All the best to you Jez.

    I apologise for the quality. I've only started the previous evening and it's only to get the rough shape of the head:

    Front

    Side

    Reference material:

    infantrycaste1.th.jpg (unidentifiedenemy.co.uk)

    battlela201104182056121.th.jpg (from the Konami game)

    Blender has been mentioned as a possible alternative/supplement programme. Is it worth it?

    I've included additional photos merely for point of reference as not everyone would be familiar with them. I'm not sure how to proceed with the head. Whether I need a lot more points just to give a nice and rounded curve to the head? Or whether I need to use a feature/function which I haven't yet used?

    And I bet you thought Battle: Los Angeles was a good film with fantastic Special Effects too. ;)

    It could be worse, could be Skyline ;)

    Please let me have a list of projects you have worked on, I would like to avoid travelling on those aircraft. LMFAO

    ......*sound of brakes being applied* *SMASH*...looks like your train operations didn't take-off either ;)

    Your "point" is meaningless and absurd. You can't produce lift by flapping your arms without changing the angle of attack. Period. The laws of physics and aerodynamics can't be argued with.

    No they can but just not very convincingly.
