The 3rd person camera is an optional setting, server admins/owners can set it as they and their players prefer. There are many servers with it on and less but still a lot with it off. If you dont like 3rd person, only play on 1st person only servers. Problem solved. Why do the 1st person players feel they have the need, or even the right, to dictate to all the rest of us? If they have the option and opportunity to play on servers that cater to their playstyle, why does how someone else, on some other server plays concern them at all?

Robert, spectacular mod. The models are top notch, the attention to detail (seeing the rounds through the ejection port prior to the bolt release being hit) is outstanding. They look better than the official guns, BI should pay you for this and add them into the base game.

What we have here is a thread of people upset because there is no one to play their precious "True Arma" game mode/Mission with. Because people are busy playing game modes/Missions that they actually enjoy. So these "True Arma" guys have to impotently rant about these "COD/BF kiddie" missions. More people playing Arma in ANY mission or ANY mode is ultimately good for the game/franchise. If you don't like Life, Wasteland, Zombies, etc, DON'T PLAY THEM. But STFU about people who do enjoy them and do play them, you are not better than them, you are not more serious than them, you are JUST LIKE THEM.

I think the ARMA that most people, who would use the term "true Arma", are describing is a heavily modded, massively staffed coop mission. I disagree completely with their position, but that is what they mean.

Bawb bud, I have read a lot of your posts and you seem to be under the mistaken idea that the way YOU like to play Arma is THE way to play, it's not. "Real" Arma is not coop. It's whatever the individual player wants it to be for him, that's the beauty of the game. You can make it what you want it to be. If you can't hack playing against humans and want to do your little carebear coop (see what I did there, I tossed out a thinly veiled insult at your gaming style, just like you do) that's up to you, but don't you dare try and say those of us who's tastes don't fit in your little box are somehow marginalized or illegitimate.

Or.... play with real people, not AI. I really don't understand co-op. I would rather play with 2 teams of thirty and have an enemy who can actually think than one big team of 60 vs the patheric AI.

My buddy Paul and I play Arma3 several nights a week, most nights actually. Since the 1.02 hotfix I have only crashed one time in probably 40 hours or more of play. He has crashed multiple times each night. So, I'm fixed and he is not. However, we have noticed that he only crashes with the physx dll error when we are grouped. He can play for hours solo/ungrouped with no issue, but as soon as I log in and we form an ingame group (Sa-Matra Wasteland v7 and v8 mission) he will start getting crashes. Totally anecdotal evidence, but this has been the case before and after the hotfix.

Why were the Dynamic Spawn and Dynamic Patrol modules removed from the editor prior to the end of Beta and will they be returning?

In Sa-Matra’s Wasteland there is no lock-on diamond for any of the tracking AT/AA weapons. The Titan launchers have an audio cue and visual cue in the reticule to let you know when they are tracking and locked. The PCML does not. Does someone know the lock-on envelop for the PCML? Max range to track/lock, time to lock from acquiring the target and hitting “T� Thanks a ton. Quad.

I thnk the improved :"feel" of infantry movement and weapon handling are worth the price of fhe game. The improved graphics, Altis and other changes are gravy. I don't mind vehicle turret modeling because the only time ill see one is through the optic on my AT launcher.

For those complaining about the tech level of Altis. Altis is a Greek island, Greece is bankrupt NOW, I think Altis looks too futuristic to be Greek.

This guy gets it. The Zafir is only remarkably accurate it you are stationary and prone. Firing it standing or even kneeling is not condusive to getting hits. A proned out, bipoded, GPMG should be devistating to anyone in it's zone of fire, what's what they are for.

Butthurt armor whores unite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm happy with single shot AT weapons as long as that single shot is a guaranteed kill if it hits.

This behavior is new to the beta it did not occur during the alpha. Arma 3 freezes for 20 to 25 seconds constantly, some times 2 times a minute. I cannot tie it to any action I or the game takes. When this happens I can still hear all voice chat but cannot move or chat back. Other players have said that I vanish when the freeze happens. It is getting very very frustrating. Nothing like getting in a great group and rampaging around only to have them take off and leave me cause I cannot respond in chat or get in the helo with them. The freeze happens in multiplayer and in the editor as well, although not as frequently in the editor. Im running an i5 3550k on an Asrock Extreme6 mobo, 16 gigs of ram, evga gtx 770, drivers/bios are all upto date. I cannot tell if its a network issue or a hardware one. Anyone experiencing this or have experienced it in the past? any ideas? Thanks much q

Yeah to the Steam launch parameters for Arma3. I have 16gb of RAM so I figured 8192 was a good number. ---------- Post added at 11:40 ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 ---------- Is that the "Desync" that everone is mentioning in Side Channel? Forgive me for not being 100% on the lingo yet. Is loosing connection to the server that frequently when your ping showed as 37 in the server browser normal?

Occasionally, but not always. What exactly does the yellow or red chain mean?

Well the freezing issue is appearantly fixed. Either something pushed out yesterday (8/15) or adding maxMem=8192 and disabling VSync seems to have done the trick. Played for almost 4 hours straight last night with out a single freeze.
