MRAPs in ARMA 3 have replaced Humvees. It doesn't really even seem like the MRAPs in ARMA are designed specifically for COIN. Also conventional armies use mines and ambush tactics too, nothing in the nature of the MRAPs name points to it being a COIN vehicle.

Even having a +5%, -5% on animation speed would do wonders for making groups of soldiers performing the same animation seem less robotic.

In the video there was a little mention of an FPS hit haven't noticed an FPS hit while using Blastcore at all, in fact I've noticed an FPS BOOST since vanilla smoke (from vehicle explosions) are very laggy in comparison to Blastcore.

Both have their ups and downs, personally I use JSRS - as too many weapons in SOS sound like pop-guns to me, but on the other hand some SOS sounds are quite superior to their JSRS counterparts (IE: Vehicle engines, particularly the ghosthawk) only problem with most of those better sounds are that they are too quiet; I couldn't hear the Hunter or Panther much at all until they were within about 20m of the player.

There is a custom mission that allows the player to give some specific orders to the AI pilot via the action menu. It's on Steam workshop, here's the link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=176755778

Would be neat, yeah. Some guys were actually talking about it in another thread and someone brought up the Window of Oppertunity mod made by one of the devs, maybe he worked on Zeus too? :P Thread in question: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?173050-Zeus-and-RTS

Think of Zeus like a BIS version of RealTimeEditor.

What's your specs? I have an FX-8350 8core, 560 GTX, and 8GB 1600 mhz RAM.

If it's stratis I can generally get 40+ FPS, no matter the settings, as long as there's not a bajillion AI running about. Altis on the other hand, I struggle to maintain 40 FPS at 2.5 km view distance and medium/high settings. And on MP it's even worse for Altis.

Been mentioned a couple times in the thread, but it never hurts to bring it up again: Some of the tanks sounds: cannon, engine, and turret turning, are all obscenely loud. IE: T-34/76, T-34/85. Compare their sounds to that of a Panzer IV, M2 Slammer, or T-100. I can sit in a Blackfoot (was experimenting) 1km away from a T-34 and when it fires it is louder than me sitting next to a slammer when it fires. (And I was in cockpit mode on the Blackfoot, too) There is also a similar problem with at least 1 German cannon, can't think of which one off the top of my head...

I had a friend do it to me once on my own server when I was flying a Buzzard, we didn't think much of it at the time but this perfectly explains what happened. And no, he isn't the hacking sort.

Yes, I am. Please enlighten me as to why my question wouldn't be serious?

Isn't the name rather redundant considering there is a faction that is the Altis Armed Forces (AAF) already.

The scouting missions themselves were nice - what Lato and Guy mentioned: having no team, is what makes them weird. Also protip for those who are having difficulty finding hidden enemys during the sniper/specop mission:

Don't worry, you'll learn what the statements mean over time, just play CSAT more. :p

Do you care to enlighten me as to the things that I don't see that would justify a PvP subforum rather than posting in the multiplayer subforum?

I don't see why PvP needs it's own subforum - if you're going to give a subforum to one style of play you might as well give a subforum to all styles of play. Just post in the multiplayer forum, there are plenty of topics about PvP there already.

Was playing with 3 friends (4 total) and the game didn't advance, mission objective-wise past getting to Valentina - is it supposed to do that or am I missing something? EDIT: My friends didn't check correctly when they went, they didn't notice the "take the note" . This mission was great!

Do note the soldiers in ARMA 3 stand in a slightly lower posture than in ARMA 2 in the default standing mode , so make sure to factor that in.

Am I the only one that would like to see a (very immersion breaking) easter egg of a wreck of the Carrier from CC:GM somewhere in the ocean?

There's a guy who went through and made a comprehensive tutorial on every single action you could do with the AI, its somewhere in these forums... Be warned though, by 'comprehensive' I mean it... its a total of about 4 hours long, but its divided into chapters/sections.

Or - if Hotkey Style fits you more. Space - 6 - 6

I played the ARMA2 Tutorials as a newbie to ARMA (and OFP)... I learned a lot I would not have known... Only thing I didn't really learn how to use from the Tutorial (first time playing through) that would be important - was how to fly a plane. It acted as if it had the same controls as a helicopter - except with a Plane W is accelerate - not Q. Then of course, as Joe98 mentioned - all the tutorials for new OA features were useful. :P

PuFu, Gotta remember the 'dumbing things down' isn't as much of a thing of making stuff 'easier' to use, but just to milk more money out of people for less work, as the less features - the less time you need programming (or less programmers), and the less time you need bug-fixing, etc.... I mean it is CoD you're talking about after all... New Sequel every year consisting of 75% of the existing game.

I've played it, I turn Ragdoll off, It's only 'enjoyment' is the ocassional laugh (when I actually have it on - rare) at how corpses slide down a seige-ramp (or hill) and it looks ridiculous.
