I'm not sure if it is the same as getting suppressed as I have never been shot at in real life, but I have certainly had a few bad ear infections and suffer from tinnitus now and again and it is not pretty, Anyway, I know it's only 11.30am and I've been drinking but hey life's a bitch. ;) What about that kinda flash, heavy ringing sound you get when (I presume) you get a loud noise by your ear, you know lose sound for a second or two and your awareness is all to fXXk, maybe when you get naded or suppressed? I maybe be saying it wrong but you see it in the movies so it must be real right? I hope you get what I mean but the Vodka has got me, Mick. :)

That looks all fair and good, but how will it look when there are no obstacles and he is just running and bunny hopping? At least the way it is just now, while maybe not perfect, makes the player stop while it carries out the animation, making doing it while running not advised. Mick. :)

@Nodunit, "It would be a new "TAKE ON KNIVES" for the whole of the industry when you think about it." Is this Take On Knives a new BI game you speak of? Mick. :)

WoW excellent work Samael, Looks better than the ones in game. :) It is way better than I can do and I'm waaaaay older than 6yrs, a bright future ahead of you lies, Mick. :)

These missions are awesome and I highly recommend them to anyone who plays single play,just brilliant and different every time. Wish there were more like this, Mick. :)

I remember a good while back we used to play no respawn, Two groups of 4/6 on opposite end of Utes,you had 1 hour to take control of the airport tower,group/person that was in the tower at game end was the winner. It was pretty intense trying to get there and knowing you could die at any time,would be cool to try out your mission pal, Mick. :)

Good work M8,I play with the Chally in Steel Beasts and would love to see a working model in the Armaverse, Keep it up, Mick. :)

Somebody had to say it I suppose,just what a lot of folk were thinking TBH. You can say the OP is being elitist or not,but you just need to take a look at what the forum has become like in the last 2 weeks. Normally most folk don't want to bash any new blood but the arrogance and lack of what the Arma series is/was is glaringly obvious to all. There have been a lot of posts bashing the new guys and a lot of posts sticking up for them by calling the "older" players "elitists",but I think we are just being protective of something we all love and don't want to see it become just another generic FPS shooter. I think you just have to look at some of the posts here to make that distinction,eg: killstreaks in game/jumping/180 degree spin button to name but a few. Seeing posts like this in the Arma forum,it is no wonder the "older" players are getting a little cranky,albeit the way we maybe put it across could sometimes be worded a little better, Mick. :)

IMHO the vehicle interiors are really quite good and a big improvement on what went before even though they could/will be "tweaked". One thing I hope doesn't happen is that they don't go mad with the highlighter pen.I thought it was a little overdone during some of the updates to Arrowhead and eventually made it look worse than it was,so please go easy. Mick.

Thanks for the advice,not that I need it though as that is what I went and done,check. You just can't admit it can you? I said I was sure I had read the wording before and turns out I had,and a bonus it turns out the post was by yourself as well. LOL. At least I admit when I am wrong M8. You might want to check the meaning of "wording" Mick. :)

Originally posted by doveman, "Swaying trees and bad vehicle interiors carried over from A2 Having had a quick look at the Alpha, I see the ridiculous swaying tree trunks from A2OA are still there. Fair enough if it's too hard/cpu intensive to make the branches sway but don't make the entire tree sway as a substitute, because it just looks weird and doesn't help with immersion. I also noticed the near/mid trees still thin out and fill in as you move view unless Objects is on V.High as with A2OA. I also see we've still got the terrible vehicle/helo dashboards/control panels which look like they've been drawn in crayon by a kid. I realise the focus is on testing Infantry at the moment and a lot of content is still to be added but I imagine the vehicle and helo that are in the Alpha are probably considered finished as far as the interiors go. Maybe I'm just spoilt by DCS Black Shark but again it doesn't really help with immersion when you see this in a vehicle and it's hard to see how anyone could justify calling it a "simulator" as it seems rather arcadey when in vehicles, what with all the indicators in the top left showing damage and altitude/air speed in helos, instead of having proper gauges/readouts on the dash or this information on the HUD (for helos which have a HUD). It seems like the vehicles/helos are somewhat of an afterthought and the only part that is intended to be a simulation is the infantry. Doesn't really strike me as massively different from A2OA (obviously I've been using mods like JSRS, so I'm not comparing to vanilla), more of a cosmetic paint job, with much nicer/richer colours and lighting." I knew I had read the same thing before,maybe not a cut and paste job,but as it is by yourself I would consider that a very close second. ;) Mick.

I must admit if this IS the road BIS are going down,it is certainly a sad sign of what is to come. There is a reason we play Arma and not other "types" of FPS. Mick. :)

I am sure this is just a copy and paste of a post a few weeks ago,I sure remember reading the exact same wording> Mick. :)

If you go into your documents folder,in there is your Arma3Alpha folder and inside that you will find your profile file. You can edit the parameters in there,changing things like difficulty,skill level,hud info and other stuff. Hope this helps, Mick. :)

Why should he get some respect when it is obvious he is just trolling? There are threads like this monstrosity already,and by his own admission his friend does loads of research before playing something,but was horrified to find out MP wasn't available,when it is plastered on the product and website? If he done his "research" he would have nothing to complain about would he? JesusChrist freaking out about something you get for nowt just goes to show what a cheapskate he is. Gimme a break, These threads are a bloody hoot a minute,but also painful to read as some of peoples expectations these days make me cringe. Mick.

I and I would imagine most of the people who don't want MP for a free lite version have bought the Alpha. Surely if you had paid,you would agree that to give others what you paid for free wouldn't be right? Why are YOU not buying a licence then? I cannot imagine it is cause you can't find the cash,money is tight for everyone at the moment,and believe me I know but I still wanted to support something I enjoy,why can't you? Instead you beat this dead horse whining about wanting something for nothing when it is obvious that others have paid for the privilege . I am all for the lite version getting MP added at a later date when maybe the beta is up in running,then the ones like myself will have paid for early MP experience. I honestly now think you are just trolling as you must see the logic in this. Mick

Just some of the wonderful comments from the discussion you linked, "that suxs !!! no buy from me then if i can not TRIAL the MP . when will developers fricken learn" No buy from him,on a free lite test? Eh? i"m not buying it, stupid developers, there is no anti-cheat , no "MP trial = no sale" simple." Says everything this one, I mean C/MON to FXCK,get bloody over it,stop showing your age acting like a big women's blouse and ask mommy for some change and quit whining like a biatch. Shakes head in disbelief. Mick.

When you are prone if you press CTRL and W it will let you lie on your back with your sidearm and fire. Mick. :)

Cheers guys, I did put an@ before the mod folder and after playing a little I must say this is a great improvement over the stock textures. Well done guys,awesome work. :) Mick.

Sorry pal could you explain a little how to install this please. I know how to use mod folders and use the landtex just now which is awesome. Because this is a pbo. file when I unrar I am not sure where it goes.Usually they are in a folder with addons and such so I am a little confused with what to do. I apologize for my ignorance M8 and cheers for your hard work on this, Mick. :) Edit: I made a folder called midtex.Inside that I created a folder called addons and put the pbo. into that.Enabled it through expansions. Could someone tell me please if this is the correct procedure? I think it is as it does look sweet but as I have landtex installed I am not exactly sure. Thanks.

I can't hear anything on your Youtube vid but I too suffer with what you describe. I have just a £20 pair of earphones and sometimes with gunfire it does sound like the speaker is about to blow. I thought it was just my earphones as it doesn't happen when I use sound through the HDMI port.(using a LCD TV as a monitor) Mick. :)

Google is your friend,my friend. There are loads of different game modes from coop,team deathmatch to capture the island and loads in between.If you search out Arma game modes on Google or through Youtube I am sure you will find what you are looking for pal.Also on the multiplayer server list it usually has the type of mission playing,eg:coop/CTI and so on. Mick. :)

Maybe just you? It is fine for me M8. Mick. :)

Installed and after flying around and driving I must admit I like this a lot,it is a lot more pleasing to the eye Well done, Mick. :)
