IMO additional jets are not needed in Arma. Yeah, it would be nice to have them if they would just pop out of nowhere but since the game focused on infantry combat and there is so much to improve in that aspect, jets are simply out of scope and it would be unreasonable for BI to spend resources on making some laughable parody to DCS (or Silent Hunter, or Steel Beasts, or You-Name-The-Game-That-Implements-Something-Better-Than-Arma-Does).

Aren't generic asian terrain features tall grass, big trees and giant bushes everywhere? AI would have hard time navigating through it; on the other side, players will surely enjoy being shot in the head by an AI laying in the grass two forests away from player. And it's might not be BI's fault, I doubt that there is AI out there with reasonable hardware requirements which is able to acceptably perform in such environment. Honestly, I don't think that PvP will be enjoyable either, everyone will be sitting under some bush until his or enemy's patience drains out like it happens in lots of other games.

That's kinda funny: seven years ago everybody complained about spam in their inboxes but today people are ok with spending 10 minutes on relatively challenging activity to earn their right to see an ad. :) What a time to be alive and work in advertising business. :cool:

I wonder how far away the day when some generic ad with "Premium Deluxe Elite Professional Limited-Edition Gold-Members-Access-Only" sticker placed over it will make people want to pay loads of money for being able to see it (and make them feel very proud and unique when they actually see it). :Dinb4 that day was, like, 30 centuries ago, slowpoke.

Aren't BI stated somewhere that Marksman DLC will include 3 MMGs? That's interesting, I always thought that Valve will not tolerate attempts to trick Steam in any way but it appears that some of my friends also used it with no negative consequences whatsoever. Thank you for advice, I'll consider giving it a try. :)

Didn't mean to start a thread. :) I originally posted my comment in "Your GUIDE To The "Bonus Targets Achievement!" topic but for some reason (to prevent derailing perhaps) somebody from mods moved it into separate thread. Can somebody rant about something BI did without someone ranting about rant? :DBesides I'm not demanding BI to shut the challenge and publicly recant, I just found it interesting considering general opposition to the ads in any form. Honestly, I'm not really delighted by this approach (IMO it's kinda manipulative, maybe because I'm not into all this challenges and achievement stuff) but it seems to be better and perhaps more effective for BI than showing "Locked DLCs" bar in the Main Menu.

'Unsolicited'? What do you mean?! Those messages were more than welcome but there were just too many of them. But an ad one is interested in is still ad, right? Anyway, that was just an observation how advertising strategies used in Internet have changed in the recent years.

For some reason I tend to agree with Jackal326. My guess is that BI planning to create a separate game (or update DayZ's engine) which will be similar to Wasteland/Altis Life gamemodes and will include in-game purchases, strong anti-cheat protection, inability to use mods and other attributes of MMORPGs. Given the popularity of those gamemodes and willingness of average TF2/Dota/CS:GO player to regularly spend money on in-game cosmetics I think BI could expect a decent amount of money flowing into its bank accounts each day if such game will come to life. This is only a guess though.

Thank you, this script is incredibly easy to use and in the same time works totally as expected. :D

Just stopping by to express my gratitude: this map is one of the most interesting maps around and our small community totally loved it. Thank you for your work! BYW it's great to know that Carraigdubh has a chance to appear in Arma 3. Good luck with porting it over! :D

Thank you for reply! Yeah, I totally understand, I just was a little bit annoyed by need to dig through loads of Wastelands/Altis Life servers to find some other gamemode and apparently choose wrong thread to voice my thoughts about it. Sorry for causing all the commotion. :)Great to hear that the new gamemode is coming, can't wait to check it out. :cool: I'm afraid that's a bad way of arguing, not just because it allows a range of witty retorts ;), but also because one doesn't need to be an artist to form a personal opinion about painting. Otherwise the only folks who can praise or criticize mods are those who created a modification quality-wise similar to the praised/criticized one.

Just a little rant concerning last FB post: such an amazing mod with great attention to details openly used in DayZ-like gamemode that clogged Arma's multiplayer? I refuse to believe that this terrible crime is still not condemned by the UN. :( @Adumb: Don't take my rant too seriously, I don't mean to offend anyone here.

By not picking side of some real-world conflict or giving preference to a some political view. After all, BI making a game, not a campaign speech. :) Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you personally advertising your own political views, only that entertainment and politics are usually mutually exclusive things and the best way to ruin a game for at least some part of audience is adding a bit of politics in it.

Do you really expect some other company to give away their military-grade software for some symbolic price? Don't be funny. :)But to my knowledge BISim could sell VBS to ordinary folks, so if you really want advanced simulation and have a decent sum in your bank account you are more than welcome to give it a try.

In my opinion BI made a right decision to stay away from real world events. Arma 3 as well as any other game is not a right place to advertise your political views, no matter what those views are.

Yea, there are many news about them recently.Jokes aside, it was stated on Facebook that Tu is coming with 0.4.0. :)

Same here on southern part of Altis — Abrams road wheel sunk into the ground after getting shot with AT. 0.3.5 with latest Arma patch and AGM. Another time I was teleported into unknown place (I was in M1A1 when it happened) and even camera failed to show the coordinates.Also, my friend on Apache got instantly splashed into the ground without any reason whatever. Oh, the Brave New PhysX. :D

Hi there! We spent more than thousand hours enjoying Arma 2 with ACRE and totally looking forward to repeat that experience in Arma 3. But some of my friends ran into problem, however — they claim that they can barely hear each other via direct speech and, IIRC, radio. One of players tried to configure volume in plugin settings but faced another problem — the sounds get louder but if he talk too loud, his voice will turn into noise. On the other hand, I have none of those problems. Is there something we could do to solve this issue? :)

MistyRonin's solution that he gave in reply to your question works flawlessly.

Yeah, I know. Perhaps you're right, I shouldn't have added this part since there is enough "futuristic vs. modern" threads already and its better to hold judgement until DLC comes out. :)

I'm sorry, are you implying that statement "In my opinion new sniper rifle visually resembles FN FAL more than VSSK" falls under whining category? Oh, alright, who I am to argue with the Grandmaster of Whining, the proud holder of "First Complaint" achievement who was complaining about Kamaz handling during Arma 3's early alpha stage. :DNo hard feelings, ok? :)

For me it looks more like modern FN FAL with huge suppressor. Either way, yawn, much future.

Do you use AGM? There are reports concerning this issue in AGM thread. I had a same problem with weapons but after I restarted game without any mods everything worked fine.
