If BIS can make such an excellent war sim imagine what they could do with a sex sim... HUGE MONEY

hear hear

Placed a little bird in the editor, flew around for a bit. Decided to see how low I could go... Hit a hill at 183kph, heli jumped up in the air and the rotor flew off...heli was gliding in the air for 10 seconds before slowly landing perfectly. It didn't blow up and I was fine. Physics are fucked I hope they fix them by final release

This has always annoyed me. You have AI that instantly know your position and can lay down accurate fire consistently from huge ranges even when you are just peeking your rifle out from behind a rock. But then... Get a AI in close quarters and they can just look at you for 2-3 seconds without doing anything... what the hell. It ruins engagements as in the escape from Stratis mission it was easier to just avoid AI completely than try and sneakily engage them. My friend and I had eyes on 4 enemy AI and we decided who was taking what two enemies and the second the first shot hit the rest of the AI instantly turned around and landed a shot on both of us... Ruins half the fun.

mk17 was easy to control in OA. Too damn easy. It was the only thing I ever used because it was lethal cqb and at long range. pop the red dot sight/acog what was it on that and I could score 700m kills with insane accuracy. I'm having trouble shooting in ARMA 3 but I have no idea what exactly is the cause of this yet.

A yank listening to a Canadian rock group :O you must have been bullied lots in school. Kidding, BTO is tops. Best rock group ever imo... But so is this alpha. I remember I first played arma 2 shortly after release but it was just unplayable. Only to pick it up some years later when it was better polished. But this alpha is pretty decent so far so I have good hopes for the final game. Even if BIS can't do All The Things

Took these mid last year. I can't wait to tour these places in game. Especially the mosquito filled hotel room I stayed in (it'll be fun to come back to it, only this time with a mk19 pointed at it) See if you can spot some of these locations from some screen shots we've seen I'm not sure if i'm allowed to hotlink the images so I will just post the album i've made to here http://imgur.com/a/UGQSD I'll post some more up but it took forever even for just 10 images to upload

More photos http://imgur.com/a/Mgh1t Do you dig that flyby! I swear it passed much lower over my car as I drove and then pulled up just as I took that shot.

Just finished uploading 12 more photos and imgur goes down before I can create an album...

more photos here. imgur keeps skipping photos for some reason http://imgur.com/a/37Eeq

Melbourne yes. :) Around August I believe? Peak summer months in any case. As you do.

More photos here. More vegitation than takistan for sure but no way near as much as chenarus http://imgur.com/a/MjMqE most of these photos from the largest town on the island Myrina

Lemnos is a very dry island. I have some photos of the plants and stuff. Will upload more pictures later today. sproyd, i'm a Greek Australian myself so when I drove past the town and spotted the sign out of the corner of my eye I had to stop and take a photo.

I think BIS should focus on multi player game modes from the release of the game. As in domination, insurgency and other game modes should be built in. Somewhat like other multi player games like battlefield for instance. I think it would be key in keeping the community together. Currently people who just want to play a few causal games have to download different mods and each server has different rules. I don't want to download ace and acre and all this other stuff. I just want to click a server and get in a game whether it be co-op or deathmatch.

Yes. Plus, this is not VBS2. Carrying a load of gear in real life can be clunky, sure, but this is a game. Some affordances have to be made to enable fun gameplay. Remember why Dslyecxi said they still use the reticule? Because in real life you can naturally feel and predict where your gun is aiming. It's a necessary abstraction. Movement in real life has fluidity whereas ARMA does not. This holds back CQB as players are unable to traverse areas quickly and efficiently. The game needs to make movement feel smooth and tight as you move through areas.

Shame because this would be excellent. Was it just too hard to implement or?

If it wont change any gameplay why waste time adding it

Not having dynamic destruction is a killer for me. What a shame.

Yeah all good. Never saw lens flare in ARMA2 so I thought 3 would be going the way of BF3 lens flare.

I would love some traditional Greek music. At least in the single player, playing from the taverns or lightly heard from radios in houses.

Is the lens flare shown in the preview shot of that video included in the game or was that just for the purposes of the trailer because if it is included in first person that would be a giant joke. ARMA is meant to be a simulation.
