***PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS*** Hello There! I am currently in the process of designing a Campaign and want feedback on my idea and eventually when I start rolling out mission's them as well. Since moving over to ACE I've loved the ballistic system as part of it. I was inspired by Igneous01 - ArmA 2 Campaign and wanted to create something similar but on the ArmA 3 Platform. However, I wanted to make something that is also co-op but was unsure if that is possible so please feel free to comment down below. I also didn't want thousands of mods I wanted to use mods that are the most popular on the Steam Workshop but like I've said if you have any suggestions please mention them below. Here's a general summary of my campaign: MODS: ACE RHS USAF RHS AFRF Apex Now I know this campaign won't be for everyone but I would appreciate any idea's that great community can provide. ***PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS***

This thread will gather general feedback on the mode and it MP systems (currently: 'Dynamic Groups' and 'Shared Objectives'). We've also created an announcement thread where you can track updates to the mode and find out about any playtest events. SPLENDID DISCLAIMER Be warned: the development build is not final software; content and technology is subject to change and may still contain errors/ lack certain features. Be warned again: this is an alpha version of a game mode in a beta-build environment! Thanks in advance for your feedback, and see you on the battlefield! - zozo

To provide a more in-depth perspective on development, Bohemia Interactive deployed a two-part series of developer diaries about the upcoming Arma 3 Marksmen DLC. Exploring the new weapons and supporting platform features, in the first . Arma 3's Creative Director Jay Crowe, Project Lead Joris-Jan van ’t Land, and Encoding Lead Petr Kolar discuss the vision behind the Marksmen DLC, its development process, and the contribution it makes to the Arma 3 sandbox. The second developer diary, which we released today, takes a closer look at the new showcase scenarios, training courses and firing drills, Virtual Garage, the new End Game multiplayer mode, and some of the experimental multiplayer systems. More info can be found on the Arma 3 website.

The session is expected to be about one and a half hour, and will be streamed to the official Arma 3 channel on Twitch. P.S. Be sure to set yourself a reminder and RSVP to the event on Arma 3's Facebook page!

Hello viewers. Lets get straight to the point. This terrain is my very first terrain, I have ever made and got to run successfully in game. So this is a big plus 1 for me. I do not know a bunch of handy techniques of making the terrain look better. So any pointers will help me out a ton :rolleyes: My terrain is not a 100% recreation of Southern Wardak Province, Afghanistan. A lot of towns and roads are custom thought of by me. Features: * Will feature JBAD Buildings (Thanks to Smokedog and Milkman) * Foot patrol paths * 1 pave highway * Multiple dirt roads Work in Progress: * Multiple FOB's and check points * Towns / Villages * Foliage Videos: Click here for more pictures Pictures: Click here for more pictures Note: In the pictures the sat image is blurry, I know. Since this is my first terrain, I didn't want to spend a lot of time in Photoshop to puzzle the map together, just in case if my terrain didn't load in-game or crash.

MISSION COMPLETE!!! See you next time! (286 kB) kB) The 242nd Nightstalkers is an infantry focused realism unit that focuses on serious fun.

This faction has been highly successful in eroding the both the military and government infrastructures, securing government supplies and equipment, and rallying civilians to their cause through extortion, racketeering, ransom, and bribery.Should the FIA succeed, it would represent yet another massive destabilization of NATO hegemony in the mediterranean region. Despite successful combat operations in and around Agios Dionysios, FIA continues to mount major combat operations in Altis. At 0200 hours last night, FIA sleeper cells on the Molos archipelago seized control of the Molos Airfield and all assets therein, executing all AAF members within the base. Further, a shipping container leaving Altis was secretly carrying a large force of FIA members. This impromptu amphibious assault has left all towns up to Sofia under FIA control. Prior to the overtaking of firebase Soban South of Sofia, American QRF was able to occupy the base and fortify the position against FIA forces.

Mechanized Platoon + will advanced from headquarters to eliminate enemy forces in Sofia before liberating Molos Airfield from FIA forces. 242 will then return to base. IED threat is minimal, as FIA have no access to heavy construction equipment, and have had limited time to deploy traps and mines behind their rapid advances. Civilians are currently under curfew, and mortars are not being deployed into the town as a result. FIA forces have to secured several AAF AAA assets and have established a no-fly zone for our assets. Execution 242 Nightstalkers will move motorized beyond phase-line Phantom in convoy formation before dispersing to engage the forces within the town of Sofia. Once Sofia is secure, friendly forces will continue beyond Molos to Molos Airfield. It is requested that all non-operational aircraft within the airfield are kept secure.

Hello All, Currently a friend and I have been running our server of off one of his machines. While running around 20 gbs of mods, some people are having serious frame rate issues when getting into urban combat with the AI. My assumption is that this is caused by the limits of his machine, because it is not a computer built to be a server host. Just wondering what companies you guys recommend for hosting our server that would give us no issues with loading all the mods and having full control of the missions we can put on. We would only need roughly 10-12 slots as well. Thanks for the help. Dig Doug
