    An Honest Review

    Got to agree with above. If the ACE team can manipulate/ recode/ whatever ARMA2 then surely the company that developed the game could figure something out for this game.

    Okay, no problem. I re-read the last page and now I see what context your post was made in.
  3. Very serious problem we found while testing CMS. We'd like to use it in our next campaign, but there's a bug that occurs after you go unconscious. If you hold down Esc, you can move, shoot, and pretty much do anything (I shot the guys who were treating me, hijacked their medevac HMMWV, and sped off while unconscious :D).

    Combat Medical System

    Didn't read through the whole thread but there is a serious issue with this mod. We'd really like to use CMS on our upcoming ARMA2 campaign but the bug really messes up the game. Basically, after you go unconscious you can hold down Escape. This allows you to move, shoot, and basically be invincible until you bleed out.

    An Honest Review

    This thread isn't about bad missions or the wrong kind of gameplay. It's about the ridiculous lack of content (our only vehicles for BLUFOR are an MRAP built out of glass and a HEMTT truck that, at least for me, is very hard to control steering in) and it's about the vital elements that were in ARMA2 but have been totally abandoned in ARMA3 for no apparent reason (putting gear back into crates after picking it up, AI reaction to injuries, one-shot kills, etc.)

    An Honest Review

    Let's keep discussion of weapon and vehicle authenticity in the thread for that subject please. In reply to the guy who mentioned complaints about AI accuracy -- I have never said the AI are too accurate. My problem is that they are still 100% combat effective after taking hits while I'm struggling to aim after just one light injury. They also need to react to the impact of rounds instead of the insignificant flinch.

    I'll take you up on that. Totally agree with what you said in your post. I guess in the end it's up to personal preferences.

    An Honest Review

    Firstly, ProGamer seems to be in the wrong thread. I said nothing about turning while prone. To those who claim ARMA3 graphics are so superior that they can't ever go back -- that argument doesn't apply to us people who have lower end computers like me who can only run this game with THE lowest settings. I can run almost any other modern game on medium or high settings except for ARMA series, the third ARMA especially. Also I never said that AI should be less accurate. My problem is that they are still perfectly combat effective after taking multiple five five six round to center mass while I am unable to aim after any hit anywhere on my body. Last posters-- I think that guy meant no fixed wing for anyone but independent which is silly. ---------- Post added at 15:52 ---------- Previous post was at 15:49 ---------- Not sure if I'm allowed to mention other series here but I was following development of Ground Branch for awhile. I'd prefer that game over ARMA since it caters more to my game style but they have made very little progress over like a decade of work.
  9. Will this mod affect enemy AI as far as how many rounds it takes to disable/kill them?

    Arma Geography

    Alright, thanks anyway :D
  11. I really don't like the current relaxed walking. The poor guys look like they are constipated or something. I would prefer the animation from ARMA 2.

    Arma Geography

    Nicholas, could you send me the PDF of those maps? Thanks.
  13. Could we get a confirmation that the quick-check will be an optional part of the mod? That's really a make or break for our group.

    What is "True" Arma ?

    Pfft, ARMA3 looks more like BI's Insanity > realism and gameplay if you're going by the ridiculous enemy accuracy, armor, and bravery while facing fire.
  15. We played around with this mod for a short time last night and we're already liking the looks of it. The nice "whispering, normal, and yelling" feature makes talking on direct much more useful than ACRE, and the radio system is very clean and simple.

    What is "True" Arma ?

    True ARMA is dragging yourself across the ground in the sniper sit position in your underwear while under artillery fire.

    A quantum leap - Arma 4

    Read my post again please: I said we don't want it that way. I never said that it is that way right now.

    Damage system sucks - fix needed

    Please, BI, fix this now! I have played this game for a day and I am already frustrated with it. That is not a good thing.

    Damage system sucks - fix needed

    First day playing ARMA3 and my otherwise great experience was ruined by the ridiculously tough AI. I put four well-placed 6.5mil rounds into him and he turned around and one shot killed me. :(

    A quantum leap - Arma 4

    I'm going to be honest and say that I hope we don't have an ARMA4. Hey, I could be wrong, but I think BI needs to make ARMA3 a finished and complete game before dropping it and starting on another half-done project. We don't want it to start being like the CoD series with a yearly release that just changes the name and adds a few new features.
  21. In ARMA2 with ACE, you could choose between the SLAM charge's magnetically-fused bottom attack (land mine), timed detonation, infrared detection using the PIRS, and command detonation mode. I have never used ARMA3 explosives but it sounds like your SLAM is changing between these modes. Sorry I can't help more.

    Stay away from Vilayer!

    We have been using Vilayer for three months and the customer support has been great. We have only had one issue two days ago when the server booted a couple players, but we got an email from them immediately explaining the problem. We have their server + TS3 package for around $40 and it is the best deal we've found yet.

    What's the point in the campaign atm.

    ARMA4? Please no...
  24. Lol, I don't get it either. One euro is 1.37 US dollars, but it doesn't matter which one you convert from...

    What is "True" Arma ?

    I don't know...every day I find myself blacking out and collapsing after sprinting. Maybe I should leave behind the Barrett Fifty and the Javelin tubes next time lol
