Phantom Six

This is a brilliant idea. I loved the chatroom system back in Starcraft 1. Why if you're online gaming on a PC of course you'll meet a lot of strangers, of course I don't know anyone personally on PC because all of my other friends are all on their consoles. Well anyways, here's the props I can find to this. If they implant this, it would be easier to organize a game or set up some more organized game and missions instead of having Domi 24/7 all day we can see some more organized missions. Users can then be linked together instead of pubs all on the 24/7 domi and those hardcore guys just all alone in their locked up servers, but then for now I'm just using steam and the group system for steam to setup for this kind of stuff for now although not everyone is active at all times.

UPDATED the Rubric to include a rubric on how to create the Revive Version of the Terrorist hunt missions. There is also instructions on how to convert versions too at the end, but there's no pictures so bear with me.

I was just bored so I decided to ask "How angry would you be if Bohemia Interactive was bought by some greedy company (Activision/Blizzard, EA, Ubisoft for example) and then ARMA series become degenerated into a COD clone with straight up run & gun, linear gameplay and story, lacking dedicated server, and becomes what Operation Failpoint Sunken Dragon & Rusted River would be or worse. This fate has happened to Red Storm Entertainment and its Tom Clancy's series when Ubisoft bought it and Westwood and C&C series when EA bought it. And yes, I do know that this will not happen to BI, but just saying a what if.

UPDATE: All terrorist hunt missions now have a revive version using Norrin's Revive Script.

If people aren't satisfy with gun sounds? Why not download a couple sound addons? It's not that hard and it doesn't interfere with your games much.

That's why there were probably those join a squad thing back in BF2 and yes having tactics will work in BF, I won't look down on BF for that, but them COD kiddies I know at school looks down on all games but COD... I find no tactics or anything in it, but wtf, shouldn't ARMA 2 won that Best Implantation of User Content? Starcraft 2 got a great mission editor and all, but the addons from ARMA 2 are splendid.

I doubt ARMA 3 will win those categories. Don't get me wrong but ARMA is a splendid title. If it was nominated for Best Tactical Shooter (it should win unless people are ignorant... oh wait, what if those ignorant kiddies call COD and BF a tactical shooter >.>). ARMA should have also won this http://www.gamespot.com/best-of-2010/special-achievement/index.html?page=19 (why starcraft 2 ? D: it's a pretty decent RTS game and all, but its modding community doesn't stand a chance compared to ARMA 2's addons. Unsung Mod, ACE mod, Invasion 1944, some of Charon's Zombies and Predators mods, and lots and lots of addons all on armaholic. This to my opinion was what ARMA should have deserve winning and best tactical shooter.

What happen if they just like start playing COD and then waste their time running and gunning across the small ridiculous maps and then try to carry it out for war plans :o wouldn't that be a hardcore epic fail?

Wtf, why COD? Out of all games. Its just a bunch of scripted scenarios with no weapon ballistic bullet drops and what not. Like sniping with an SMG from far away.... like that will do you any good? Plus a $60 price tag... why not one of the ARMA games from a lesser price. ARMA cost lesser and is much more reliable for stuff like that (ARMA + ACE mod) that'll work for them pretty well for their longer and marksman shooters. I'd probably go with the old school rainbow six for CQC environment but I assume they would go more long range? If they can't afford VBS2, I would most likely recommend ARMA 2 + ACE Mod OH WAIT A MINUTE!! VBS2 LITE!! Absolutely free! Why buy COD for $60 run n gun game that don't help at all or... why not just get the lite version of a real deal simulator for free?

If you max out the terrorists for combat maze, you will see more on the south side. Problem with this is the intense lag. I will hopefully make a revive version sooner or later. As for the server locking, when you host a server or something, there's a button called lock (I have never used it myself) but if you click this button, no one else can get in correct? As for the dedicated servers, I wonder how does that work for people who host them? I don't think I can do anything about those problems though, if only I know how to make the terrorist deletion server side instead of client I think it would work? By the way, are you interested in making your own terrorist hunt missions if you want? If someone does create some and send them to me, I can add them to the list if they seem legit enough (make your own terrorist hunt in front). I might as well make another maze if I have some time.

I have a couple ideas in mind to create over the summer right now if I have time other than my outdoor activities and such. I'm planning to make another pack of missions kind of like the Terrorist Hunt pack I have created, but I don't know which ideas I should go with first, so I would like some opinions on what would you like and here are the ideas: Terrorist Hunt Undercover: This will be the same thing as the original Terrorist Hunt I have created but now with civilians and terrorists blending in with them in a large area (so far the best place I can think for this would be Zargabad, maybe some Feruz Abad or something, or Fallujah for custom maps). The terrorists will most likely be blending in with civilians and carrying pistols (I have see that if you holster your pistol in ARMA, you can't even see it at all until it is pointed out so if I make an OPFOR civilian, he can surely blend with the OPFOR and probably pull the gun out while you are not looking). I'm also thinking some suicide bombers and probably some cars and vehicles laying around that you can board (just to find that the cars will blow right up once you get in). Practically, you try to eliminate all terrorists (some of them blending in with the civilians) but if you kill a couple civilians, you lose. It will probably have lesser terrorists as well. Hostage Rescue: The title says it all... just rescue the hostage and don't let them die or else you will lose, but I'm also planning to add parameters to allow you to set the weather, time of day, view distance, enemy skills, enemy positions (switch it around to have different enemies, leave it the same one each time and you'll get the same kind), and probably a parameter on how many lives you have (can't decide whether to use Revive Script, Limited Respawn, or Spawn as Crow). Two Player Coop Pack: Just a pack of random two player coop missions (don't know if I should make it with Revive or No Revive or Respawn at all). Or some other kind of pack. Please specifiy. Try to stay within my knowledge of creating missions please, I know how to make some simpler stuff, but I'm not a scripting god. Don't mention anything that would take me too long to make please. Thank you. (I hope this is the right section for this by the way)

Nah, though I like the dynamic of it and what it does, I'm just planning to make a couple packs that hopefully won't take me too long.

Would anyone like a Revive version or Limited Respawn will do?

Of course Bohemia is also trying to make money but they do their work right. As for the greedy piece of garbage companies r also making money with big garbage scams, $60 price tag, very huge trailer with lots of explosion n hooks, n utter bs for a game as for arma being buggy as hell. I can expect that from all the feautres this game has contain. As it's release n ppl buy n play they can report those n BIS willl fix them overtime in a long process but it will be done. (I bought arma bout 1 or 2 years after release so it wasn't too buggy) but I don't see those greedy companies trying to fix bugs n staying loyal to the community as they'll make a new cod each year n the old gets abandoned. What's even more sad is that u can just play those f2p fps with the equal gameplay of COD minus the $60. As for why ppl love COD. Simply their brains r too smAll to look at big buttons for 90% of the population would prob don't use their brains at all. Practically I believe the conformity of society as well. "Cuz everyone loves COD n everyone is getting COD. I might as well get it too" things like that. Some friends of mine, they're not even true gamers for all they play, know, and worship is COD. It's mainly those explosions, scripted scenarios, dumb crappy linear story, n lots n lots of eyecandy that appeal the ppl n prob some more mindless stuff

Yeah. I'm sick of playing domination all day too. I wish I can find more open coop missions at rooms. I can find a few servers at times that r open (I'll bookmark those with addon sync) and play it but I wish there were more open rooms. My friend and I usually play in a lock room as well mainly cuz he's not very ok with random ppl joining because we had some ppl mess it up for us (maybe that's why ban or kick button is there). I prob would like to have more open rooms out there with real coop

Well I haven't start this yet but I want to avoid addons for vanilla versions for the newbies who don't know how to use addons or public server that don't require it so I'm thinking a red circle marker. Now how should respawn work. Revive? Limited respawn like the t-hunt I made. Or spawn as bird (no respawn). If other respawn option, I will still add a no respawn/revive options in the mp parameters. As for the people who voted more on 2 player coop missions. Shall I have no respawn (u lose if your buddy is dead), revive, or depends on the mission. (planning to put autosave per objective as well)

I have reconfirmed that Avarice now works for me. Sorry for the inconvenience, it was an addon issue that was making my game crash. I have so many addons downloaded so I disabled the addon that was causing me problems.

Alright thanks for the feedback strange, as for the satellite, would I need an addon for thisnor just place a big red circle on the map and you head there. I would like to avoid addons except for a blackops merc version if people are interested with smgs n more pistols. So start far from the objective instead of near with a heli near? In this case, will helicopter be driven by a player or radio extract?

Sorry mate, I'm outta tea. ;P

I never thought it was silly until I reread the poll. In this case, I apologize for this and I might as well let this thread die.

why is it okay to post something like this here when its offtopic? Or not really?

I'm glad I never paid anything for Call of Duty. Overall, there are no such games that I can find that is ever worth the $60 price tag.NO GAMES to me are worth the $60 price tag. MW2... was a let down to the PC with no dedicated server (huge letdown). From what I heard about BlackOps, horrible performance on PC dual cores (i have dual core too) so hellz no for that and it seems like from what I have read that they didn't even bother to fix that problem and continue to slap PC users across the face. From what I heard about MW3... once again... no dedicated server... Them greedy Activision/Blizzard money whores. You can't trust those kind of companies. The companies I have trusted most would be well (I started trusting Valve the most but L4D2 slap me in the face after I paid $50 for L4D1. Still like their Half Life series but I lost some trust). Tripwire I find alright with Killing FLoor and (have Red Orchestra laying around but haven't tried it). And now after I played ARMA 2... this game is amazing along with Bohemia Interactive. The best company I have seen so far in my opinion. To put all efforts into a game even though it is released really buggy, BI continues to patch it and patch it so much for a very long time and not even giving up on the game with such dedication I find it amazing. It is amazing to please the fanbase like this in which a lot of companies lacked the courtesy to do. As for the release of ARMA 2 Free in the meantime, it is a very splendid strategy in increasing the playerbase of ARMA and bringing interest to ARMA 3. Although ARMA series along with Operation Flashpoint CWC are very different to the typically Run n Gun FPS of today, many people who might try would probably just go but then a few will stay... In this case... I find COD = Fail & more fail as each of them keeps getting abandoned and left alone bugged up as a new one comes out each year with the exact same crappy multiplayer that is so repetitive n overhype filled with annoying little brats.

New Terrorist Hunt Missions released: Camino Al Diablo. Download is on the top page and the max terrorist amount is 220. The map is Chernarus (so hopefully ARMA 2 free players will be able to play it soon). So far this one would probably be the hardest one in my opinion because of the trees and bushes and the Chedakis in ARMA 2 usually wear green. You may decrease the amount of terrorists if you like to make it feel less like you're getting overkilled if it is too hard. The terrorists will be wandering around the woods and the rest will be fortified up in the Devil's Castle. Fireplaces are also around to make it harder during night time (although it should be hard enough already). BUG ISSUES (with all the Terrorist Hunt missions): Terrorist Deletion: While my friends and I were playing through some of the missions, at random times if someone joins the game while it is in progress, there will be some bug that all the terrorists will disappear except for around 5-10 terrorists left. It happens most oftenly when someone attempt to abuse the lives system too by trying to exit and rejoin to try to get their lives back. Celery Bandage Not Appearing?: For some reason sometimes, the CLY bandage script is not working sometimes, I don't know why. I have only encountered this issue once or twice. It should work most of the time hopefully.

yeah, the same developer who made OFP CWC made ARMA and ARMA 2. Bohemia Interactive.

focus on your life and health first. You can get the campaign done later by time, I'll be patient, don't worry. I also do outdoor hobbies myself, a lot of it from sports here and there and sometimes to hang out with friends and yeah. It wouldn't be good at all to gain too much weight over time which would be bad for looks and future health.
