i'd better say like: if arma will stay as it is right now, and the only improvements that will be made just to make it more realistic, then i would like this game as i liked arma/arma2. ahh and probably the only thing why not soooo many people play arma is beacause it's a bit rought with animations and got some glitches. (no idea how to explain it better. my classmates at uni cal it "buggy" ) if it will be polished, then way more people will play it.

i bought and activated arma x on steam. i have no problem running it with/without mods. i use six updater.

separated weaponry controll in helicopters like in ace 1/2, so gunner control turret only and pilot control rockets etc etc also bindable flares button & Rockets/Bombs/Fixed Cannon should be on Pilot Missiles/Variable Cannon should be on Gunner

Q: Would you like to see women in ArmA 3? A: I would like to see a woman in my kitchen. anyway, yeah, why not?

you see weapon and hands from correct perspective (center between eyes) try to hold weapon irl. and it takes just alright time to start aiming. thats about reaction. no need to make it any slower. idk about animations you are talking abot. i play since arma 1 and feel just fine.

ACE 3 ACRE thats all i want ; )

build in launcher which will allow you to dl mods and mod pages will be absolutely outstanding. BIS, PLEASE DO IT. it could look and work like it works in garry's mod[/b]

this is exacly my point. lots of people who tried arma found it boring because thewre was no *kewl* mp there by default. 2 my friends tried arma 1 "assault on some town" mp vanilla mission and got extremely frustrated. why not to add wide known missions like domi, insurgency, cti, evo and stuff here by default? i'm not talking only about pve. arma got only 2 problems that don't let it become absolutely great - learning curve and multiplayer. just make missions in way that you find out features bit by bit in addition to stuff like OA training grounds. and add wide known community missions. just adapt/edit/whatever it and add to vanilla, instead of being stubborn for no reason.

just add domi, insurgency, evo, proper cti and some tvt missions avaible in vanilla. thats all. with these gamemodes on start you will keep new people on hook. this is how i got into arma 1. just polish stuff to make it a bit more easy ( only interface of missions ) and bam. win-win for everyone for some people here game started with editor. for me it started with mp.

better support of mods: i.e. atm to join some server you must have same -mod=@blablabla to join a server. but if you can join server if you got that @mods folders at arma3 dir and it will be extremely better if you could manage mods right ingame like "expansions", so you don't have to mess with shortcuts n shit. and yeah, i know about lauchers and six updater

vklOq6KFQy4 just include this mod by default as you did with shacktac hud. PROFIT

pick up vehicles on choppers and open cargo and load tanks on planes will be avaible on default fast ropes from helicopter. there were some addons even for arma1 why not to add it on default thrust controll on axis on joystick to be able to set up a key to shoot flares on aircraft. roll support with track ir. tried to evasive left or right as it is now thats absolutely not comfortable... my monitor is'nt close to me etc, so moving to sides not that great. just add one more axis for roll ;) edit: also if there will be an option to play campaign via multiplayer, why not to add category campaign? because looking thru coop list trying to find who play campaign is hard. idc if any1 play campaign in multiplayer except when you with friends, but this will be quite fine. atm i still didn't get to play campaign in mp ;) thats what i got in mind so far and about units: since units will have loadouts etc what if it will be like: i added infantry unit, then choosed side - so there will be different presets for loadout and uniform etc, then choosed loadout and role - for example basic rifleman, so there would not be huge lists of units as it was before ( probably )

fast ropes from helicopters will be absolutely great

can't disagree with that. there were 1.02, 1.05, 1.08, 1.10 patches for arma1. some of em were like 800 mb or something this way, and you had to download it from site. game should be playable when it will be relised. + some autoupdater will be great addition and ai.. yup.. not fun when ai see you thru the trees and you can't see a dam thing

gettin low on fps also my network connection is okay 7,7 mb the topic of this thread is how to make people to stay in arma. i suggest to focus on multiplayer more then sp. or atleast equal.

emm.. atleast make it look a bit more realistic like they were made of somewhat else then rag. like more heavy and less flexible soldiers loosing all bones / skeleton after being shot?..

okay. i got core i7 2600, gtx 580 3gb vram and 8gb ram, but arma2 still lags on maximized. seriously, wtf? did you read what i just posted?.. i didn't say that evo and domi as they are now are great teamwork game modes. thats why i said: when game is out it will be way better if this kind of missions will be avaible, then waiting untill some1 will make em. May be not exact evo/domi but fine and good quality pve mission/missions. the topic of this thread is how to make people to stay in arma. i suggest to focus on multiplayer more then sp from what i seen current ragdoll model is nothing more then just funny. Th3fjxyedMY 1:45 - pretty much realistic? and after being shot to death soldiers becoming a ragdolls without ropes.. literally..

1) BIS should better optimize the game ( tho i upgraded pc now and then just for arma, then arma 2 ;p worth it. ) 2) focus on multiplayer. really. i dont give a dam about campaigns, missions etc. Multiplayer is way more fun. And here i actually started to understand most of aspects of gameplay, and the reason why i stayed with arma for ages. (arma was my 1st game from series)). There are some game modes such as evo, domi, tdm. just improve these modes, add em on mp missions list in game already. Try to find out how to organize players on mp to make em work as team. This will improve the gameplay x1000 times. Multiplayer is most probably the only reason why people buy arma and don't download it from somewhere else. 3) make some tutorials... or ask some communities sites to create/upload some and choose the best. 4) fix some details such as throtle on joystick. (make it possible to change % of power or whatever it called like ) annoying to fly with things how it is now. and other details.. 5) ragdoll... ehh.. there is no need in ragdolls if it will be glitchy / buggy. Better something old what works well then something new and crappy. I'm fine as it is with default death animations. overall: no need to add some extra stuff which will be fixed by numerous of patches again and again. Just polish the game, fix few things and it will be perfect. once again multiplayer, multiplayer, multiplayer.

making arma "arcade" etc will ruin a game. we love arma because this game is unique in comparision to whole mainstream fps games. if arma 3 will become any "arcade" type i would not buy this game. priority list to make people stay at arma: 1) BIS should better optimize the game ( tho i upgraded pc now and then just for arma, then arma 2 ;p worth it. ) 2) focus on multiplayer. really. i dont give a dam about campaigns, missions etc. Multiplayer is way more fun.

a question about gear / loadout is that possible? this is probably complicated as hell, idc.. but.. is that possible to make weapons / gear avaible / unlocked on multiplayer missions if you unlocked em in singleplayer and getting promotions mb.. (?) - very sceptic about this.. like.. you bought arma 3 and you got your id, and there is some data on database like... id: 123456 face: 04 gear avaible: 1; 2; 3; camo: 02; weapons unlocked: 120; 123; 156; some statistics like prefered weapon: prefered role: just some bits to brag about ;p etc edit: and to be able to fly a chopper you had to be qualified - means you must complete training mission on boot camp, etc so not only vehicles but weapons aslo.. so when you join a server some stuff is already preset, so i'm able to get in a chopper, while some new player who doesn't know how to fly can't get in there... but ranks will mean how many people can be in group etc, like if you are leutenant you can command several people, while when you are general you are able to command.. <-- nevermind thats sounds not that good ^ sounds like fps approach, but thats not that bad.. i'm personaly fine with things as it is now, but still, it could be interesting... just a suggestion also.. bleading out and forcing ai & players to use 1st aid module ;) with option on / off at difficulty settings. not like syncing each unit to this module even on pvp missions, and it should be exacly like default 1st aid module in arma 2. it will add more fun, so if sniper shot some1 and team mates trying to get him in a cover you keep an eye on him and shoot em and other stuff

fix ragdolls.. make it a bit more "woody". bodies on trailers looks like soldiers were made of rubber... i seriously miss classic animations. ( no ragdoll ) if soldier stept on mine, why he fly away?... why he doesn't get rip apart instead?.. i guess it will be like.. if i shoot an infantry by tank main gun he will fly away and jump n roll like puppet on ground? am i right? :( take a look on red orchestra heroes of stalingrad ^ not the best example, but still if grenade shoot infantry they don't fly away like hell... they just explode / get cripped not saying that gore is necessary for arma... just please.. fix ragdolls... on mission demonstration enemy was moving toward and after he got shot he fall back. why he doesnt continue move and fall forward... or bullets now got some hollywood effects? and also.. how about overheating machineguns?...

I bought arma x on steam, everything works fine except arma: gold yes, i run steam as administrator yes, i tried to re-install it when i check cache there is 1 file always failing to validate, says taht it will be reacquired, but it happens over and over. i belive thats the problem. The question is: how can i fix it?
