Obsidius

Hi folks, I'm 28 from North-East England looking for a realism unit to game with. I have been playing since the original ARMA, racked up over 300 hours in ARMA 2 OA, mostly playing domination and other Player vs AI games but never been a member of a group. I enjoy working as part of a team and although I have spent many hours in the role of a marksman I have always used the role to support teammates rather than just getting easy kills. My regular gaming times on ARMA will be Friday evenings and weekends as I work through the week. I have a working mic.

Only found the Osprey wreck at the end of runway so far, looking forward to a player made map of wrecks so I can kit up and go exploring them.

Although I'd normally agree with you regarding keeping grass turned on, this is an Alpha release and many people are having issues so maybe having grass turned off on a bunch of servers / maps would be a good idea while the game is being fully optimised.

I hope they do implement weapon resting, would be cool to rest an MG on a car bonnet, ground, wall etc. if BIS don't implement it someone else will with a mad though I'd guess.

ACE & ACRE are at the top of my list. I won't be in a rush for mods though as I think I'll be happy enough just plodding alone with what BIS gives us for a while. As for maps / missions, I'd love to see a mission to retake control of an oil rig at sea from hostile forces, something like that would be just CQB tactics.

Due to work I won't be able to spend much time in Arma 3 until the weekend but once its downloaded on Tuesday I will be hiking up to a nearby peak and taking in the views. I think I'll have to take a dive to see what it's like underwater too as I'm really looking forward to that. Once the weekend hits I'll be hitting the missions.

I agree but if they have the infantry aspect done right then it would be pretty cool to have them focus a little on naval warfare, but naval warfare shouldn't take away from the infantry experience. Infantry combat on board ships and boats like what Strych9 suggested could add some fun and challenging game-play to the mix, taking control of an offshore oil rig, CQB on-board a cargo ship etc could work as a sideline to the core game. I think most people think of ship vs ship when they hear naval content mentioned but it doesn't have to be the case and the fact we will now have diving and submersible craft added to the game I don't see why we couldn't have more added in the future, either by BIS or by the modding community. I suppose if there are enough people who want naval elements added then there will be mods added at a later date. As for ship & submarine weapon functions, I'd love to see that although only if its kept to a minimal effect and not weapons that will bombard half an island or anything else overpowered.
