Hey really quick question. Is it possible to make units patrolling with EOS be aware with weapons raised instead of in safe with weapons down? Thank you much appreciated.

Hello, I can get cfg Identities working fine with out a problem for vanilla Arma 3, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to add anything involving any mods. For example I want to use faces and voices (more importantly voices) from the Chernarus Conflict mod to create an identity. How would I use faces and voices from a mod in the cfg identities. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

As someone who hasn't been on Arma in a while, and who came into this thread completely neutral and unbiased, these are the 2 things I have noticed. Caiden is foolish and unbelievably bad at representing a team. His diplomatic skills are entirely nonexistent. Take away the lying, stealing and scamming and just look at his posts. As someone who was neutral, it completely ruined the chances of even considering looking at the proof because you can already tell who is guilty. I really hope he isn't old enough to know what he is doing. In life, responding to convincing allegations with "Please kill yourself" will not get you anywhere. There are people who scam and steal in life but do it in a careful, organised and impressive manner. Caiden just laughed and left, when he should have been doing damage control. I lost complete respect for Caiden and A3L that he represents Secondly, I cannot help but feel that BIS isn't doing all that it could. When someone not only steals, but monetizes a mod, something must be done. While my knowledge in games, codes and the limits of BIS's powers are severely limited, I think that they should at least be developing a way to end this outrage. These developers that got their work stolen made these fantastic mods, and these mods make Arma. Arma wouldn't be fraction of what it is if it wasn't for these extremely talented and dedicated people. They spent hundreds of hours on their work and they get it stolen from them, and despite all the evidence A3L is getting away without even a strap on the wrist. I really hope BIS takes a more active role in ending this as I fear that once others see how easy it is to escape punishment from this they will start doing this too. Too many people these days think they are untouchable, thinking their empire is impenetrable when it reality they have built nothing more then a house of cards. Knock that fucking house down.

I would spontaneously combust if they make a 2014, Ukraine-Russia DLC on the island of crimea. I would be the happiest person in the world. On a side note I would happily pay for a contemporary dlc, but won't spend as cent on anything in 2035

-2014 -Current conflict in Ukraine -Crimea I would need a pacemaker if they would make this.

You know arma is not what it used to be when A tank located 1.7 km away could provide highly accurate fire at the fuel truck even when behind a tree line. I decided to test its range of fine and it reach 1.7km. Realizing that it is nearly impossible for it to even have a vantage point on my position I decided to pull out my range finder and to my surprise the tank floating a good 10 meters above the hill. (Add to that, that kappa decided it wanted to drink tea instead of helping assault) Edit: So I decided to drive to the tank to destroy it, made it 20 meters in front of and shot a rpg directly at tanks back. Didn't damage it. Tried 4 more times, confirming the hit on all 4 shots. Very disappointing BIS

I'm not finished yet, but I probably would not give it over a six. This doesn't feel like an arma game. In arma 3 (especially scouting missions) kerry runs around vacation island lone wolf blowing things up and kill dozens of people while in arma2 you were a just recon squad trying to prevent the cold war from escalating. Yes A2 campaign was riddled with bugs, but I felt an immersion that is non existent in the majority of arma 3 campaign (or arma 3 in general for that matter) This is only my personal opinion.

1) Lack of vanilla content 2) Lack of immersion 3) Lack of user missions 4) Lack of mods 5) Lack of new islands 6) Lack of Ace 7) futuristic setting To be honest the futuristic content is just plain horrible. There is no immersion at all unlike the middle east and eastern Europe environment. The only reason I still play arma 3 is because of 3 commando brigade insurgency server. Its modded to death and it feels like a2/ace just with arma 3. If they shut down that server I'm done with arma 3 for a while.

ACE did it quite well in A2, you could have felt you mags weight and determine how many rounds were left and if you had to reload. Oh how I miss you ACE.

I cannot believe I am seeing CS AI compared to A3's AI. The Arma 3 Ai is far from perfect, hell it's far from playable, but CS AI is nothing compared to arma, hence why they are on dust everyday which is the size of what 1/1000 of Altis?.

Are you part of clan or is this just a server to enjoy some MP in? Also there are many Invade and Annex servers running about, I personally find insurgency servers much more interesting and those are few and far between. I only found one *really* *really* good one however due to time zones when ever I'm able to go on everyone else is sound asleep. Regardless, good luck.

Agree 100% with this post. My favorite mods for A3 are the ones that bring A2/ace content back into in. Blastcore was a must have in A2 and will always be a must have for arma in general. Very sad with this announcement, I really hope he returns to continue working on this amazing mod

Perfect glad to see a must have mod for A2 ported to A3 please find out, if it does it will be a golden age for AI

@Harzach Thank you for the information. I have read everything and I am greatly saddened regarding the current situation. I just wanted to thank you and Savage personally for attempting to fix this amazing mission. Just know there are many like myself who are eagerly waiting for this beloved mission to come to arma 3. I wish I could help, but my skills in scripting is quite close to nothing. Thank you once again, and best of luck.

Im slightly confused as to why mods such as bcombat (which I never tried but will soon), Zeus AI, coslx and so on are able to improuve the ai. Sometimes I am baffled by the AI, sometimes I am in the same room as them and they dont even turn around to shoot me. And driving is expected, I have lost fate in driving a long time ago. And sometimes bis (as someone said) tries it's very best to show off all the faults of the ai.

I could not have said this better myself. The loss of immersion is in regard to the content. I cannot play this game and compare it to anything I have seen before. And for me *personally* I do not have motivation to play on a random greek island 21 years in the future. Also to put things into perspective, how many mods were there for arma 2 which focused on future technology? Yup......not many. Now look at arma 3 and tell how many mods focus on contemporary warfare? I can count at least 5-7 per page. In the end it boils down to nothing more then opinion.

Hey fireball, just wanted to say that your mission was my favorite multiplier mission for CO. I was just wondering if you already have ported this mission to A3, I have seen several insurgency mission on A3 similar to yours and was curious if it was your official port. If not, do you have any plans to port it over? Very sorry if this was answered already. Thanks again for your awesome mission.

I enjoyed a good mission with you on the 16th (MILF it was called?). Was great fun until my internet crashed. Really organised team play, felt like I was back in my old clan. Not the sort of gameplay I thought I would ever see in a public server but there is a first to everything.

I dislike the future setting and will go as far to say that it is the fundamental problem in arma 3. 1) Loss of Immersion When in the deserts of takistan or the wilderness of chernerus there was always a sense of immersion. The story taking place felt authentic and believable. You could be watching the news on some troops in Afghanistan and get the urge to play some OA. I don't feel immersed playing in a random greek island in 2035, sorry. 2) To many Funds Okay even if all this futuristic stuff exists where does all the funding come from? Everyone and their mothers could now afford these ghost hawks and infrits? The cost to produce these vehicles specifically seem mind boggling. I do not mind all this expansive (garbage) gadgets to play with, but where are the more cheaper alternatives? 3) The disappearance of Pre 2035 So lets say all this future crap exists and everyone on the damn planet can afford it, the final game changing question is where is all the old stuff. Did every m4 and ak disappear? did humvees enter a parallel universe? Even if I'm showered with 2035 stuff why can't bis include a few 2014 guns/vehicles so that we can be slightly familiar with some content. These 3 reasons combined make arma 3, in my opinion, less fun then it's predecessor.

I want to love A3 as I loved A2 but I can't. its futuristic feel is horrible choice.

COSLX had to be my favorite immersive mod for A2. The bleeding and medical system, as when an AI would get shot someone would try to revive them. Also I think surrendering used to be in this mod. Was really fond of this. Even if some features are ported, I would be happy.

You are missing my point that the future atmosphere + the lack of A3 content is making people reluctant to make new things. Yes people are going in different directions as they always did. Most are making Modern warfare content while some do as they did previously and make new adons not set in future or modern day. However those that enjoyed using the A2 base content to create their mission/addons are not inclined to do so for A3. I feel you. I loved making missions in A2, but A3's lack of content and severe lack of interesting content is a let down. Wish they made an expansion to add all of A2 and OA stuff in to A2

The one possible reason is because A2/OA was comparable to real life scenarios and quite immersive. You can be watching the news about some troops in Afghanistan and feel the urge to hop on OA. Also contemporary military was and always will be the perfect base point for content. It can be created with out speculation and compared to real life equipment/vehicles easily. Just to put things into perspective: how many mods for A2/OA focused on future warfare? Not many. Why? Because people are not interested in that. If they were you would see plenty of mods for A2/OA about future warfare. However you are absolutely right, people made Vietnam, zombie and ww2 mods because people enjoyed that and it was interesting. Unlike future warfare. Now we have a game who's entire focus is future warfare, and half the community is attempting to just bring contemporary military/A2 content back to A3 while the other half is trying it's best to use what little was given to create new addons.

The lack of females doesn't make A3 bad. Its the 1000 other little things like no females that when combined make A3 less fun then its predecessor

Yea it kind of hurts. I would have liked if A3 had absolutely NO new content. Just a the current engine + all of A2's + AO content. They could have focused on missions for the rest of their life if that pleased them. Jesus if they released all of A2 content in a 40$ dlc I would have bought 9 copies.
