Machinimas, where are the machinimas???

Hey guys, Funk here. I used to play Arma 2 and make machinima, but that was over two years ago. Here is one of my better vids: Oh, I also made this which got some praise back in the day: So, I am thinking about starting to make some machinima, especially a sequel to The Visitor. However, I think I threw my copy of Arma 2, I still have OA on Steam. I started a thread in Arma 3, no one answered. My question is, should I use Arma 2 again, or how is Arma 3 for making vids and scripting? Any better flexibility with animations etc? Any help appreciated so I can choose which way to go. Funk.

Any feedback about how Arma 3 is for making machinima (as I posted above)?

Hi all, Long time fan of the series, used to play Operation Flashpoint back in the day, then Arma 2. I got sick of playing, and started using Arma 2 for just machinima making, that was 2-3 years ago. Here are a couple of my better vids from those days: (YT messed up quality on this one sadly)And Now I have not touched the Arma series in at least 2 years. I have decided that I want to start making machinima again, especially a sequel to The Visitor. So, reason I am here is this: How is Arma 3 for making machinima and scripting? is it more flexible than Arma 2 (I remember searching through endless lists trying to find a certain SetUnitPos or animation and often having to improvise some shortcuts) - I mean Arma 2 was great, very very flexible, that is why I liked using it, but it was also a little user-unfreindly at times. Also, are there any crazy mods coming out yet? I will need an alien model in order to make a sequel. Any help or advice much appreciated, looking forward to getting back into the challenge of creating unique vids. Funk.

Ah, now I see! Albert, you have a ridiculous and amazing imagination! That was great, and the cinematic style was excellent. I LOLd at the bit with the truck, so ridiculous!

yeh Albert, I am waiting to see the rest of your video. When will it be up?

Interesting video, I found myself liking that even though I didnt expect to. The choice of music actually worked quite well. ---------- Post added at 02:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 AM ---------- Kenwort, I added you on Skype. My name is Stephan.

dcal: Very nice job indeed. That was awesome. You really took your time with this and improved bit by bit and the final result was very cool.

That was awesome. I wanna see more. @Glowball: Nice video!

As has been mentioned by others, I have fond memories of Battlezone 2, what a great game. This looks quite similar.

Very few posts in this section, judging by the youtube video, game looks kinda cool.

Can anyone post a screenshot of Normal Mapping in ground textures in TOH and how that looks superior to what we see in Arma 2?

I agree with the OP. As a native English speaker, the title Take On Helicopters sounds dorky, amatuerish and wierd. I do think it will hurt their sales. Armed Assault is at least a catchy name... TOH is not. I mean even calling it "Chopper Pilot" would be better.
