0.36 was funniest for me for some reason! :D

Guess the A3 campaign will have a different "vibe" and that can be great! Hopefully its not about simple black-vs-white / blue-vs-red crap that one can watch and play in many/all action games. Something that is challenging and forces the player to think and act like a human and not like a SuperfutureSEALSASOMGSpecialForce fastmover operating mostly-only with all the cool blingblings. :)Before they altered the website the Faction list included Militia (collaborating with Iran) Resistance, Smugglers etc. These various groups with their own inevitable conflicting interests could have the in game atmosphere you described. Unfortunately only Resitance is left (in addition to NATO, Iran, Civilian). However they are alluded to somewhat in the Personnel descriptions, so may still play a part.

Having not served I can only presume this from films and books, but in RL would not a squad be unable to tell the difference between a single sniper bullet passing by and a single pot-shot fired from a regular rifle anyway. They would only be aware that a sniper had a bead on them if that one shot was particularly effective. Therefore could one option for your system be that if incoming fire proves immiediately effective and hits someone the whole squad goes into full suppressed mode?

A good analysis. Making it greek would certainly help reduce the work to do with buildings, though I do think it likely that this could be a port of it as a European terrain, especially with the expansion that's supposedly coming in the ACR dlc.

Well the second part of the interview is up:
And here is the reason why we can't have "ALL THE THINGS":
Ivan Buchta: Well, it’s like… The gamer with a cheap hard drive and an excellent graphics card, things like that, he may suffer from the weakest part of the hardware, which is just getting the data into the GPU…
Dean Hall:: We don’t run supercomputers. None of our computers seem particularly amazing in Brno, anyway.
Crowe: We sit on gold thrones…
EDIT:
Also this was interesting:
Buchta: It was partly our fault, because optimization of course was something I’d definitely like to do… We planned a four-week sprint towards some better mapping… I’ve mentioned to our lead programmer, just some classified information, we’d like to expand the Chernarus theme in the Arma 3 engine, partly because of Dean’s zombies, partly because it’s a good map and we know it. We can get the data real cheap and we already have a working basis, so there will be more realistic terrain and new vegetation. And I’m also trying to push all those environment-related things like underground structures, bridges, better handling of water, power lines, many things which were omitted.If I've understood it he's talking about adding this stuff to Chernarus...does that mean it is already in Lemnos?

I don't imagine that this will come as a suprise to most of you but Jarno Smeets "The Flying Dutchman" has admitted it was a hoax and that he is in fact an animation artist.

EDIT: I also realise that this is a couple of months old now, but was for some reason featured in BBCs video list. :o

I wonder if they'd let me borrow one of those T-72s :)Didn't you know? That place is run by Europcar.

I believe TrackIR has been very effective in ARMA and highly responsive, it can take into account leaning and so on. Recognizing a crouch and even prone, is essential for this in ARMA and ideally one day so soon your exact RL movements will be reflected by the character in game. All that is needed then in a rapid, responsive, small and affordable omnidirectional treadmill and it is sorted! ;)

Why on earth is there a CoD banner over the bunker? I call shenanigans! Couldn't someone cover that up?

The new videos from last night's E3 demonstration.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SObs9KnK0Ng&feature=youtu.be - Trailer
- More detailed trailer including game "concpets"http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2012-gameplay-walkthrough/731180 - Interview with designer Kip Katsarelis
Everything I have seen in those trailers is overhsadowed by one phrase: "City Specialization" - "Sports city, coal city...etc". If that means what I think it means, that we must choose a specific type of city to create in order to conform to their ill advised multiplayer orientated gameplay, there is no way I will buy this game!
-
It could be that the new DLC is to help tide things over while the release date for ARMA III is pushed back. I for one would welcome a pushback, whatever necessary to make the game as good as is realistically possible!
-
Glad to see more official content for ARMA 2, I will definately buy this! It's great that BI are continuing to support and expand the game even with their next installment on the horizon.
-
Could the technology used in that video make it possible for trees and plants to reflect the season as it is set in the editor?
EDIT: Dingo it says so at the end of the YouTube description.
-
Also the more popular the game is prior to E3 the better the coverage will be by the press attending the event.

The first in-game screenshots.

Quite cartoony in it's colours and textures, though farily sharp and detailed profiles for the buildings I think. If a mod were released that made them grittier and more realistic I would probably use it.
-
Anyone up for some drinking during E3? I've ran out of ideas, feel free to add more. :pThe results would be beyond brilliant if the BIS team themselves play this game during E3!
-
I absolutely back this, more civilian types would really add to missions, particularly the Cherno law enforcement.
-
If BIS had new in game content to show us they would have done so, it's not like they had to choose between behind the scenes and game preview content...at least I don't think they would be that cruel! ;)
-
Oh, it was just a couple of hours ago. How long has the Dear Esther offer been up?
-
Congratulations on the success of the mod Rocket! Just heard it got Arma 2 to the top of the Steam top sellers list and Marek saying sales have increased fivefold. Hope there's a decent bonus on the way for you! ;)
-
Even if female combatants are not included in the story (though I think they should be) it should absolutely be possible for female units placed in the editor to be able to use weapons from the outset.
-
:D An excellent point well put! But didn't you know? As good old Mr Lenton explained it was all in the name of "fun, fun, fun"!
-
CWC didn't have any swearing in it, and I think it came off pretty well :)That's true. I think many games misuse swearing these days. Incorporating it into a story should make the characters seem more gritty and believable. Most of the time it just comes off as childish and inappropriate in games, movies and books.
-
That's not entirely fair as there are teens that will play a game respectfully just as there are unfortunately 'adults' with horrible attitudes. That said I agree, it is not really possible to make this game suitable for an M rating, though in many cases the grammar of in game dialogue has been far more offensive than any of the language used! ;)
[SP|CAMP] Grizzly Platoon - Dynamic High Command Campaign Announced!
in ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS
Posted
This sound amazing, really looking forward to trying it out! Is the aim to have the missions play out in a persistant conflict, with other AI platoons operating on your side, sometimes cooperating in a Falcon 4.0-esque way?
