We know that. His point still stands. What is your point? ---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ---------- Now the Wild West or medieval times would've been truly epic. Riding my horse through medieval Cherno with my long sword.... Epic! The problem I see with the direction taken is that it is very gamely. Most vehicles will have smart weapons (guided) so it will be a simple case of - get vehicle, spam tab and lmb, spew guided missiles killing everything. An exaggeration but you get my point. Now weather you like it or not arma has gained it's name through a more simulator approach. This I feel may fall to the wayside as devs appeal to a lower denominator with a more arma/bf3/ghost recon future soldier direction. I'll pay good odds that any current era expansion/dlc/mod will be played hand over fist more than this future era.

My current system. i7 2600k @ 4.5ghz 8g 1600mhz ram hd 7970 gigabyte ghz edition 128g ssd samsung 830. I currently game at 2560x1440 and my main game is ArmA 2 multiplayer. I generally get anywere from 25-65 fps (In singleplayer i get from 40's - 120ish) on highish setting depends on server performance and the host of other factors that effect fps in ArmA. So i am generally happy with my current setup. However i have the option of getting my hands on a GTX690 and while i am happy to go ahead with this i am concerned that i may take a performance decrease due to poor sli performance in ArmA. Has anybody made a similiar jump? I need some guidance ASAP. Cheers guys.

To be honest. Yes I did not expect the ArmA series to step 20+ years into the future. With the guess work And fiction associated with future weapons\equip\doctrine etc etc It's hard for me to except it as a simulator. It feels more like a game. Just my opinion.

Hah you remind of a warz fanboy. We are discussing the game on the forums as adults. Nobody is forcing you to enter the discussion. Get back to watching Star Trek.

Could not agree more. I don't hate arma (besides the poor CPU multicore utilisation). I just hate this future nonsense.

Actually the difference between science fiction and fiction or fantasy is the fact that the creator uses a realistic future scenario. A game set 22 years in the future using concept/fictional weapons and equipment could only be described as science fiction. The ghost recon comment is because GR was always trying to do future warfare. Back on topic - I would happily part with cash for current era dlc.

MX rifle series is fictional. Some AFV's et are nothing but concepts yet will be incorporated in ArmA with weapon systems etc. It is science fiction. In 2035 we can look back and say 'well that was silly'. I would much prefer a current era DLC or an A2OA rearmed not a mix of ArmA, BF3 and a future Ghost recon.

Guys can we forget stratis. What i mean is an instruction guide for those of us with A2OA (which will be most) to port chenaraus into the addons folder and play with a modified version of the current mission that is played in A2OA. This is just a suggestion. Would be interested in feedback, not flaming.

While the overall smoothness is better some movement speed needs tweaking. Insta grenades etc But what i do not like is the map. Its bland and boring i certainly hope the other maps are up to the same level of detail of say chenaraus\utes and even tak. Maybe the current map feels abit cartoonish, the vehicles etc everything is clean and nothing looks weathered or used i am not sure. The modular weapons and vehicles in fact the whole 2035 concept is not for me. It feels like they are going for a mix of ArmA, Bf3 with a twist of future ghost recon. What really scares me is the threads like take downs and requests to lower recoil. Really? bf3 knife takedowns and running across the battlefield 2k to do standing double taps with little to no recoil. It needs some optimization also. Minus 20/30 fps and i cannot see other than the water effects anything that is stand out from A2 with which has me thinking with a decent sized map its going to struggle. Still suffering from some of the same issues of A2 cpu wise also. A3 i have no doubt has a future. The best thing i can hope for is an A2 rearmed version. Just my opinions guys, do not bother baiting/telling me its an alpha etc. i7 2600k @ 4.5 8gig 2100 hd 7970 ghz 830 ssd.

no respawns you do have all players can heal. Missions on average go for 45mins to an hour. If you guys like the missions and want respawn i can add norrins script. You can try them out singleplayer also.

I agree with oldy, the weapon sway is too strong and becomes frustrating especially if injured or exhausted. Everything else in the mod is excellent.

yeah i have just noticed it. The only way you can fix it is to + then - back to game speed 1x. Have looked for a fix to set game speed at 1 but no luck, not sure whats causing it something to do with the eject script perhaps.

I played through the entire mission after work today and didnt find any issues. The mission i played was from the armaholic link. Can only suggest restarting the mission?
