I've been playing Arma since OFP and it really seems like the multiplayer experience in this "instalment" hasn't changed. I'm so incredibly sick of shooting other players in CQB just for them to soak it up or die two seconds later. You can do everything right and have a massive advantage and the fight will still end up 50/50. Why cant enemies drop when they're shot? It really seems like BI doesn't care about the multiplayer experience and completely neglects it. I mostly play on modded servers which does seem to increase this lag time a small bit, but even official servers are plagued with this issue. Most games when you shoot the enemy, its crisp but in Arma its the most unsatisfying experience.

Hi guys, I want to know if there is a mod already available that allows player B (aka wingman) to physically grab/attach to player A (aka pointman) so that both players can walk synchronously down a hall. I have checked the docs of several mods and looked for the main search terms on the usual sites, engines and this forum, with no luck. I think that, although that feature seems very complex to develop, it would also be really useful in Buddy system heavy environments like CQC or MOUT. Thx.

Hi Guys, After looking at some of the brilliant inspiration on youtube and steam by Nikoleav and Xcino, (and an awesome rig by Luger from last year) I decided my original rig just didn't cut it. This one is complete from vanilla and apex assets, meaning it will work with almost any community. It is >4x larger than my previous rig and puts it on a similar scale to Xcino's V2. Features include: The structure can be accessed from any one of the 4 struts and gives unique bottlenecks at each one. Multiple office structures and pump areas plus service pipelines to new locations. HUGE level of verticality with multiple 'decks' and sight lines. A secret location for SF ops. A full size helipad and lighting for even the largest of transports. A sensible amount of lighting to assist immersive night ops, (turn dynamic lights up to ULTRA) AND FINALLY, I have added 4 changable respawn points that place players onto the four struts. Good for PVP or curated/role play elements. Obviously AI will struggle to navigate the thing, but the pathing isn't the worst. Use it / alter it as you see fit but let me know of you make any videos, please credit me if you want to re-release it in something else. Anyway have fun. and if you like this sort of thing, drop in the CPM at or our teamspeak at ts1.cornishpastymen.co.uk:9993 Download HERE

[Outdated] Go to thread of the new "Freemode" version Old: Mafia Team Work : Katalaki Bay by Der Kroi CIvilians Life feature video Workshop Subscribe Download from Armaholic for hosting server Screenshot gallery Description : Mafia Team Work is a fast paced and dynamic gamemode inspired by GTA IV Team Mafia Work with common objectives for both teams in PVP (also playable in single player or coop) and features a real civilian and cop life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to Katalaki Bay, a small coastline town, who’s inhabitants are terrorized by mafia families that fight each other to expand territories and gain respect of local godfather, Kenny Petrovic. In Mafia Team Work, your family and yourself are working for Kenny Petrovic, in direct confrontation with an other family. Your objective is to earn more respect and prove to Petrovic that your family is the only one to trust. This gamemode is a fast paced dynamic PvP mission, in a customized & optimized area of 9km². Also playable in Singleplayer and Coop with dynamic difficulty. Missions & Targets are common to both teams. Each objective completed add Respect points to your team. When game time is over, the game ends once the current mission is completed. The team that got the highest Respect score will gain the trust of Mr. Petrovic, Godfather of Katalaki Bay. At respawn location, use flag’s menu to get a car. All cars can be field-repaired anytime. Open your GPS to reach objectives faster. You can also follow waypoints (3D Icons) that point objectives locations. . RED Objective: Kill or Destroy . BLUE Objective: Take and drop (do not destroy) . YELLOW Objective: Drop location for car or briefcase (only seen by the driver/carrier) Equipment and weapons can be found in Ammo Crates on objectives, or in your Victim’s Vehicles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MOST WANTED ! The Wanted Level is inspired from “Grand Thef Auto”, and tells players how much police attention they are getting, or in a few missions, how much they are actively searching for the objective. Wanted Level 1 and 2 stars are related to your own actions, only the wanted mafia member sees it, and cops will only be after him. Level 3, 4 and 5 stars however, are global. All mafia members will be actively wanted by Law Enforcers. Expect cops, FBI agents, and Army to come in number, protecting objectives assets against the mob. How it works Level 1 : Depends on checks and stops (usually on foot) that randomly happen on the map. If the patrol has not been neutralized or outrun, it will trigger level 2. Level 2 : Hitting a police patrol car, or shooting next to cops or on their vehicle, will trigger Level 2 star, as well as Level 1 backup calls. The various events impacting Wanted levels overlap each other. As a result, shooting down or outrun a patrol does not reset your Wanted index if another patrol is also on your trail. Despite Levels 1 and 2 are related to a single mafia member’s actions, other mobsters are not safe: if a patrol sees a mafia member, they can decide to engage him as well. Level 3-4-5 : Are related to "Take and Bring Back" type missions. Law enforcers will spawn continuously until the end of the current mission. The amount of active reinforcements simultaneously depends on the mission and the number of players connected. Backups, as well as regular patrols will head towards the objective to protect it from the mafia. Wanted Level progression is based on the number of patrols neutralized. Take down a helicopter patrol will piss the cops 2x more than losing a ground patrol.

As the title says. I want a door to be locked in my mission, but since its a stealth mission I want the player to have to force the door lock instead of opening it with an explosion, for let's say 20 seconds, until it opens. How do I achieve this?

Tactical Position Ready by Patch & LAxemann What is it? Tactical Position Ready allows players to quickly raise and lower their primary weapon in order to avoid friendly fire (or simply to look tacticool). Furthermore, the mod contains an optional "auto obstacle avoidance" feature which raises/lowers the player's weapon when getting too close to an obstacle. It does so in a non-disturbing way and comes with a corner detection for maximum playability. The feature takes the weapon's length into account, meaning shorter weapons are a lot more suitable for CQB. The mod requires CBA, can be configured via the CBA Addon and keybinding options and is MP-comaptible. The mod is technically client-side but other players have to run the mod in order to see the animations. How to use? The default keys are: High Ready: T Low Ready: Shift + T Media >> Download via Steam Workshop << >> Download via Armaholic << Special thanks Gunshot

This mission generates a RANDOM maze and places enemies guards and other props throughout it so every round is different. Several wall types are used such as concrete, tin and various shoot house walls. It can support anywhere from 1 player up to 21 players, with 1 to 3 teams and scales the size of the maze based on the number of players. There are also other configurable options to make every round unique: - Less Walls: Deletes most of the walls in the maze to make it more of a fun random CQB map. Great for quick games against friends. - No Guards: Turn off the spawning of AI so you and your friends can battle it out - Arsenal: Allow players to select their own loadouts - Pistols Only: Remove players and AI primary weapons - Night Mode: Some guards get flashlights, so do players. - NVGS: Equip players with NVGS - No Camera Task: Last man standing instead of win by getting the camera. Combine any of these options to create unique scenarios. They are used by enabling AI for the option in the multiplayer menu. While this mission can be played by 1 person only, it must be in a multiplayer setting. The basic premise of the mission is you play as one of 3 news organizations: CNN, WSJ or FOX. You must get a camera containing damning footage of PewDiePie at any cost and bring it back to your HQ and ruin his YouTube career. There are AI guards that are protecting the camera and you can spawn as one of them as well. I would like to point out this mission's storyline is a meme and should NOT be taken seriously. It is most fun when played with friends. This is a great training mission or a warmup before a big op. Lots of having to check your corners and being aware of every possible angle you can get shot from. If you have any suggestions let me know, I will be updating this as my squad uses it on a regular basis. Eventually, I may try to generate different stairs to make it multilevel or rooms throughout.

Hi All, I built this a while ago as a small mission for my group at the CPM. The boys liked it so I decided I would put it up as a template in case anyone wanted to use it. It is created entirely from BI or CUP assets and has a fair amount of CQB options. Our mission was to SDV to the rig at night and infiltrate. AI doesn't like it too much but it's brilliant for curated missions or roleplay (like we run at the CPM) or PVP. Features include: Multiple infil options by water leading to a small bottleneck at the top Offices and pump rooms, for adding your own story elements A usable helicopter pad (Ever tried making a landing pad float.... ?) Immersive lighting for night ops. Images here Anyway have fun.

I'm writing a series of articles you may enjoy. May or may not be applicable to ArmA. For the most part, these concepts should be easily transferable to ArmA. https://www.spotterup.com/article-one-anatomy-of-the-room-part-1/ Part 1. Enjoy. Rye.
