You like a shrill nagging woman shouting and cursing at you? And flinging off useless info because 4 things were triggered and the programming doesn't know that the last three messages were now irrelevant? O.o

Ok. Make that beastly shrill woman audible to new players level 7 and lower. That way you give the full, disgustingly grating impression to those poor, unsuspecting, new players. But for player retention... let level 8 and above turn her off completely........ I understand your theory of important info. But if players do not want this exceedingly annoying voice... why torture them unless you are intent upon irritating players? Thanks.

Some will contain candy, some will contain chemical bombs which will turn you into a zombie. Open at your own risk. (cough)

These boxes will eventually contain food and other tools for surviving the zombie apocalypse... ; )

I think the one akira mentioned is on a different map. I remember yet another map where this has happened to people, but never to me. Dunno if the problem is getting worse or is it was just that the longer weapon I was using had some effect.

Instead of an unlock system, have a role system with weapon options. Have 3 number of standard rifle or SMG slots (iron sight, red dot sight application). One of these can be GL. Have 1 sniper slot (all sight options) Have one 1 MG slot (mid range to shorter sight options) Weapon unlocks... eh. If any, then maybe by class, so that from the start in each class SOME kind of weapon is available in each category. Emphasize tactics and teamwork. Not unlocks. Unlocks are a temporary "interest" (hindrance) to get to a competitive level.

So because some cheat, let everyone cheat? And we know how people know positions anyway. The sound of steps is uber loud and long range. It just is too easy to ghost, back seat drive and be nagged and flamed by dead players. Case in point. I just played a set of raid. I got 8 kills, The rest of my team got 0. Yet the player on the bottom of the list would not shut up telling me where to go and what to do. Mute does not always work in game... it will not X out. And it gets tedious having to micromanage comms while in combat.

SW side, by a shipping container right on the edge of the defense boundary. I tried taking a SS, but couldn't. If you squat next to the container and turn, it glitches you INTO the container which is outside the boundary. The container cannot be opened and you automatically die. This is repeatable. If it affects anything, I have DMR 1 and the really long silencer.

Footsteps. Might as well have a glowing arrow pointing people out as to have such audible steps all the time. Even crouched.

It is still very audible. Running can be heard a LONG way off. I have seen a guy I was trailing stop/crouch suddenly to spin and look for me that was pretty ridiculously far away. And I cannot count the number of times either my walking/crouch steps or another persons's gave away positions. Its too much. In practical terms, the only stealth option is to not move or tap/nudge. Even then, nudging drops big stompy step noises frequently.

Yeah, I just started playing again due to the update. While progression access is interesting in some ways... the current implementation is... handicapping to new players. Not only are many guns unavailable (giving a huge advantage to players who have played longer) there is clearly a power difference also that does not correspond to the caliber of the weapon. The same guns at different levels vary in how much it takes to be fatal. AK 12 7.62 mm at mid range (with scope) is clearly not worth using because another gun (of smaller caliber) is a one shot kill regardless of range. Also... long range scopes available on so many weapons... snipe war? Snipers get 2, 3 or 4 times as many kills. Maybe if more areas could be accessed and used for cover... the game would be more balanced for non-sniper weapons... The blocking of so many areas actually affects CQC a great deal. As it is, the game feels very arcade like now. So many blocked areas, paths, buildings... skewed weapons... battles are getting stale fast because its a matter of who gets to the "right" spot first and mows the most down before they can even approach. I really want to like this game. I've played ARMA since Flashpoint. But there is a reason I have not been playing Project Argo very much. *shrug*

Exterior comm systems you can use or not. But in game comms... people chatter all day long after they die. The mute function does not always work in game either. The OP intent is valid though. It makes ghosting (dead men talking) way too easy. I have back seat drivers every time I play. It gets real old. is there a shortcut that can be used to mute all/unmute all?

That is great news. I have to completely look away / cover my eyes during bright white loading screens. Especially the flash / appearance of them.

Still waiting for footstep adjustments. Sonar is still fully functional even for walking. There is no quiet* movement mode.

That hidden and VERY SHORT kick timer is stupid. Last round of a set, 2 on my team and one on the other. Unclaimed point. I have lots of kills. I saw the guy run behind a building. I set up a point and wait.... and get kicked. I lost all my effort, lost being on a team with friends (server is now full) and am royally ticked at this mechanism. Never seen a competitive game worth playing that was so eager to remove players for nothing, and that right quickly. I was not AFK. This has happened before. I was actively looking around (head swivel) and talking on comms. Yet... kicked. Fix this. Include head swivel and comms use on activity. Or give a warning at 10 seconds before the kick. Both. Or make inactivity kick 3 min. Stop kicking active players.

Is there a way I can turn off that shouting, cursing female voice? Or turn it down? I turned down the "radio" but that didn't affect it. Did I miss something? Just not minded to get screamed at. Thanks.

Clash, outside of an objective in the field area. I watched a guy through a scope as he moved behind a rock. Barely the top of his head was visible. His gun was not visible at all. He fired through the rock. And killed. Glitching. Don't know how fixable this is in arma. Its not new.

Should keep the body appearance as set for teams but allow headgear changes. : P

Ok. Been trying to play through the current game state. Between so many blocked areas and worse yet, the footsteps being like radar... its just not tactical anymore. You are better off just running (they hear you anyway and u r not as much a stationary target) and gunning - which holds no interest to me. Before, there was stealth and positions and tactics... now..... eh. I'll check again when there is an update.

Shrill. Loud. I want to play a tactical game, not here some woman's high pitched scream. And the cursing is just not needed.

Was playing earlier (regular, not hardcore). One guy on the other team seemed to know where people were. But, oddly, his triangle indicator was visible to me. I was on the blue team he was on the orange. Dunno if it was a glitch (which he may have been abusing) or a hack with a side effect? Dunno if anyone else on my team could his indicator. I know... Scant details on my part. But thought I'd inform you of what I remembered.

Well, it was very close to the point we were attacking so... he shouldn't have shown up like that. I know what your talking about tho... I hate when it does that to me (cough).

Ok. Would be great to have one. If you put one in, I'll give you a cookie.

Separate game format functions is fine if you are looking only for one type of game. You then have to exit and search each different format 9currently only 2) to try another. Make a function to just search all formats of argo at once. Would be very handy.

There should be an AUTOMATIC temp ban after so many team kills. Kill 3 teammates, temp banned for 15 minutes. If you return (to any server) within a 24 hour period and kill 2 more teammates, you get a 1 hour ban. If you do it again within 24 hours, you get a 3 day ban.... etc. Accidents happen, but persistent team killing must have consequences. This will greatly curb abusive behaviors without hindering genuine players. Leave vote kicking as it is. It should not be easy to just remove people unless it is serious enough to move people to action. And I would especially hate to see public votes for bans... leave that to private server admins not public/general use.
