    Guys, I did some testing on Chernarus and the result is not good near a city. I added some bmps (3) near the city and no matter how I tuned the settings, they only showed up when in close range (200-300 meter) else I couldn't see them. The radar did, but I sure couldn't.

    Can others also do some test on Chernarus and post their impressions or suggestions to make it better?

    Still testing myself, will upload some movies later.

    what about the script where do I need to put that?

    Yes indeed, this needs to be created.

    I think most people know about the modular side to sound mods now, "Heli pack" "Tracked vehicles pack" .. this could be part of a "Radio chatter pack". A pbo that attaches radio chatter to vehicles etc. The best thing is to look at how ECS mod did it for Arma1 becuase that mod nailed it perfectly. It also has a config to make it less or more frequent and to add to an array of vehicles so you could add 3rd party vehicles to trigger the radio chatter also.

    If this source could be expanded (or even ECS authors could supply source) which can be dropped in to arma2 for that purpose alone would be superb.

    Like I said I have a lot more - so I be more then happy to share them out.

    Heya - So I really want to have radio chatter when I am walking through the woods etc - (It's all about the illusion and the overall feeling isn't it?)

    Since I have a military clip page I have a lot of movies of radio chatter and I stripped some and also downloaded the end sequence from Generation kill put them all together and made them sound a little bit more like radio chatter - specificly the once from Generation kill sounded too "clean" .

    A lot of radio chatter from Vietnam - that is actuall radio chatter - and not only the one you can hear on the obvious webpage we all know.

    I am no sound engineer by any means - so what I do is I leave this running in the background when I play ARMA2- its crude but it works.

    Let me know if this is needed and wanted and I put a large file together - this one is 8 mb large wmv file not compressed to mp3 yet but I have a lot more chatter - so let me know.

    Maybe somebody can work with me on this one to make it a real mod? where the chatter gets more distant when one specific character is farthe away?

    sound in Arma2 is better than #1, Guns sound pretty good, bullets ricocheting sound really good. But some things sound pretty bad to me. The major sounds that need fixing are the explosions. We need more variety, they also sound very "washy" with a lot of white noise or something in the explosion, hard to explain. They lack punch and character. Rockets being fired from apcs, inf and aircraft also sound odd, with more of that white noise.

    I have yet to try VOP mod. I always used CSM (the best sound mod imo) with Arma1. I hope Chammy can find the time to work his magic once more.

    They maybe better then ARMA1 but there is still a lot that doens't really add up - for excample - the Gatttling cannon in the helo - if you have ever heard one either in real life or in a real clips you know it's extremly loud.

    One thing I don't understand - And I may say at this point that I worked in the games industry more precise - for Vivendi - quite a while.

    I don't understand how sometimes Developers spend all the time to create a realistic game but than when it comes to the dialoge or the in game sounds tend to forget all about it.

    For excample: the ingame Dialoges are extremly cheesy - all they needed to do is have a look (on my webpage for excample) what and more important how Soldiers talk to each other when they are under fire.

    And again it depends where you look - In Iraq you have a lot of Soldiers that have just been deployed or have their first combat experience therefore you have a lot of GO GET SOME GO DIE etc.

    However - In Afghanistan you have a lot of very battle hardened troops - you rarely hear them shout GO GET SOME etc these guys are on their second and third tour sometimes and are very professional - they shout orders and or commands but thats about it - no cheering etc.

    I think if you want to simuate a Deep force recon team in ARMA2 (which is still debatable if they are special forces or SO) they shouldn't say lines like....- Oh brother and if we see some action I show them who's fucking boss.

    To me that sounds extemly cheesy - much better would have been if they wouldn't have said anything but you can hear the radio chatter in the bakground - or you hear one guy confirming their mission - no HORAA stuff but simple guys that do a job and know how to do it well.

    Hope I haven't gone over board - but the Dialog in a game is so important to me personaly.

    Oki, thanks to enlight me, that's ok with me after 6 years on internet i've seen lot of dirty vids but I still not insensitive to some things.

    Anyway i would like Apache with flir, range finder for its 30 mm chain gun and laser guided missile in an eventual Arma2 expansion !!

    Count yourself lucky :) I seruiously regret watching some clips I have seen - but I am so damn curious :(

    There is some interesting stuff in your website except those of muslims being beheaded in front of nazi flag ...

    Maybe you should avoid to post graphic contents here, I don't know what is mods' policy but there is young people reading this forum.

    Yep of course I'm not going to post that sort of clips here -

    Be honest I wasn't to thrilled when the first member posted a beheading movie way back - including the IED clips against Coalition troops - but (and we have discussed this to death on my webpage) the majority thinks if the page is called uncompromising military clips - then we should be also showing these clips.

    It comes down to - do you want to see it or not - if not don't click on it :)

    There is also a filter of course where you can choose to not have these clips displayed.

    @ ApacheStark. Awesome clip. I couldn't tell too much from the visuals but the audio had my heart racing. Very :cool:

    You might want to PM placebo about that.

    Yeah Its mostly about the Audio in that clip - can you imagine the stress of coordinating a danger close mission like this? having seen what somebody looks like who;s hit by a 30mm - Despite that the groundperson sounds like he is a bit in a panic he deffiantly has his shit together.

    Naturaly since I have seen most of the Military clips around I can savely say this is by far one of the best A-10 close air support clips around.

    I'm not sure if that breaks any rules but do you think I can post a movie where you can see a group of insurgents being hit with a hellfire and they get right back up - its a movie that was under investigation by the ARmy to see what effects rockets (for hardtargets) have on soft targets.

    They are in the process of changing the hellfires with a steel coat and pellets.

    Hope I am not breaking any rules - if so I edit the list straight away

    I don't think there is much out yet - however what these members mean (and correct me if I am wrong) that this game will be all about Mods - I mean since the game is pretty much build around a busy mod community (see OFP the original) they have of course created ARMA2 with this in mind.

    All I want is an US - Afghanistan - and Iraq mod :D

    Heya,

    First post bought ARMA2 yesterday - and absolutly love it...

    Just saw this thread and thought you guys may want to check out my webpage www.apacheclips.com - It's a military combat movie sharing webpage only - we have around 7000 militray combat related clips - some very harsh and extreme footage of course as well - so maybe not worksave depending for who you work for of course ;)

    We pretty much have also all the Apache-nightvision-Insurgent clips - they are quite interesting to say the least.

    Have a look at this A-10 Gun run movie - it's very intense - the person that gave me the clips said the groundtroops were getting ambushed and needed danger close support asap - you can clearly see why blue on blue happens at times - he practicly lays down the A-10 30mm right in front of him - at one point you can see the two Humvee trucks.

    Regarding ARMA2 - anybody know how I can get in contact with the people that operate the official webpage?
