LAxemann and Jokoho482 proudly present... Enhanced Soundscape What is Enhanced Soundscape? Enhanced Soundscape is a sound enhancement modification for ArmA3. It adds additional, weapon-sound related features to the game. Those are hill/mountain reverb and reflections, forest reflections as well as reflections from houses in urban areas. The basic principle is: Firing a weapon creates a loud noise, noise is waves that swing through the air/make the air swing and those waves get reflected off objects and terrain. The volume levels were done with my soundmod "DynaSound 2" in mind, but ES works with every mod including the vanilla sounds since nothing "core" is changed. Real-time calculated Hill/mountain reverb: The feature simulates the reflection of the gunshot-noise when there are hills around you. The further the mountain/hill, the more diffuse the reflection will be. Close terrain will reflect a clear "popp", while mountains in the distance will send back a diffuse, "crumbly" echo. The feature is calculated in real-time and real-environment, meaning you will actually be able to see the mountain the shot got reflected from. Forest reverb: So many trees and plants around you create some kind of "half-enclosed space". You will hear a thick layer all around you when firing inside a forest! Urban reverb: The many hard surfaces of houses in urban areas give a very direct and harsh reflection when firing a gun. The mod simulates this by playing slapback sounds from the actual walls when firing next to houses in urban areas. The result is a "thickened" feeling when firing your gun. Media Here is an explanation video of the mountain reverb (using old and outdated sounds!) Known issues None at the moment.

I just saw the top banner that says "-%80 discount on all arma 2 titles". I already have A2:CO but the non steam version, I want to have the steam version so I have all the Arma games on steam (already have A:CWA and A3 there), and the A2 dlcs I dont yet have. I have some funds on my steam account so I went into the A2 Complete Collection steam page but the discount is not available there, only on the bistore. Does someone knows if the discount will be available at steam or will be only on the bistore?

Bohemia Interactive’s exploration game Take On Mars today received its third major update. The ‘Tech-Enhanced’ update implements a technology tree, global objectives, improved vehicle landing, two new crater locations, a ‘Probe’ vehicle, and the Soviet-era ‘Mars 3’ lander holding Mars’ first rover, the ‘Prop-M’. Building further upon the early access release of Take On Mars, the new ‘Technology Tree’ system lets players research various technologies, which eventually gives them access to new instruments and vehicles. The implementation of ‘Global Objectives’ means that accomplishments at various locations in the game now contribute to the same objectives, combing the locations into one whole. The added ‘Probe’ vehicle is a simple, single camera, single instrument slot chassis, and is the most basic technology available from the beginning of the Space Program. Last but not least, the two extra crater locations, Lyot and Ptolemaeus, provide the perfect opportunity to explore new terrain with the Soviet-era ‘Mars 3’ lander (also equipped with Mars’ first rover, Prop-M), which is the first vehicle to achieve a soft landing in Mars’ Ptolemaeus Crater in 1971. Rover operators who already signed up for the Take On Mars’ Early Access program have access to the new content right after downloading the automatic update via Steam. Those who would like to do some further analysis can examine the complete changelog on http://mars.takeonthegame.com/. Here are a few screenshots: Mars 3 + PROP-M, the first vehicle to successfully land on Mars. The Global Objectives screen, showing the objectives of your agency and how many missions are left in each to complete them, complete with a progress bar. The all-new 'Probe' vehicle, which is the most basic vehicle in the game.
