An experimental weapons DLC would've been cool.
white cobalt
and im kinda hoping for some Viper campaign
proud pollen
XM25, Coilgun, etc.
white cobalt
they should really explain the turth of Eastern wind weapon
spark zealot
Does anyone rememeber when back in arma 2 you had a different gun for every attachments ?
white cobalt
like, base on it they developed some kinda of weapon in order to turn the battle into NATO's hand
proud pollen
They did explain it in Apex Protocol. Plus there's a reddit post floating around on r/Arma that adds some more story to it.
white cobalt
naaa not really
What is Eastern wind exactly is still a mystery
but it's in NATO's hand for sure and somehow CSAT don't really care it
ooops my fault they do really care aboot it
and all the story we get is based on guesses, like before this APEX, viper deal some of us thought is miller and CTRG who blowed up the NATO officer in order to create Chaos in Altis, then take the machine

bigger map man
humble harbor
Eh exaggerated
white cobalt
altis is enough for combat
humble harbor
Even tanoa is
humble harbor
Is even big enough for the RHS F22 at full speed
night rover
need microsoft combat flight simulator - arma edition tbh imo
flint lake
Didn't you read the super magnified whiteboard from the Scanning the Horizon video that had "OV-10X" written on it?
white cobalt
no need FCS
urban sluice
which do you prefer - MAR-10 or Cyrus?
humble harbor
SBAR17
flint lake
MAR-10 solely for the CTRG paintjob.
white cobalt
AA3's flying is good enough consider this game is land combat focused
flint lake
And the fact that it used to hurt my ears if I fired it without a suppressor.
urban sluice
i actually prefer cyrus! it seems a bit more powerful
white cobalt
if tooo real it'll be hard to train a pliot
night rover
mar10 cos it looks gnarly
humble harbor
Is Mar10 the Lapua?
flint lake
Yeah.
urban sluice
yes, the thing that looks like a railgun
night rover
never use either of those weapons though cos RHS is best
humble harbor
That cartrigde is insane irl
maiden olive
wait, is Mar10 supposed to be Mario?
humble harbor
Apex weapons are great and almost better than RHS weapons tbh
urban sluice
RHS is awesome but the character models are a bit off for me! the arms always end up in weird proportions when they are bent to certain angles
Mar-10 is the Nato marksman sniper rifle
white cobalt
RHS's character models compare to the real world is bit odd
flint lake
The weird arms business is just Arma being Arma my friend.
white cobalt
US army looks fat
green quarry
We've been using SMA weapons a lot more than RHS lately
white cobalt
Russian looks like they have only bone
urban sluice
to me the RHS char models just don't match the proportions of the vanilla models? if you get what i mean
RHS weapons and helmets are all top notch, really loving the PASGT which I reckon should be added to vanilla as a guerilla helmet
night rover
yea they are disproportionately badass
white cobalt
it's just models made Ru looks like some weak nerds, and US looks like a bounch of fatso
humble harbor
You've got too much time looking that closely at those models lol
flint lake
It's my understanding that some people are working on separate uniform models for the US Armed Forces under the name "War Plan Blue" that will eventually replace the current models.
white cobalt
you just can't look at it anymore
urban sluice
not really, it's quite simple to notice actually - vanilla vests don't fit onto RHS models, and actually most of the RHS vests don't fit on the RHS models they weren't designed for
so RHS russian vest won't fit properly on US army
white cobalt
I think VTN is kinda good
green quarry
I just wish RHS would take a leaf out of 3CB when it come to vehicle interactivity and mortars/HMG's etc, their stuff is amazing
urban sluice
don't get me wrong I love rhs but that's really the only issue i have with it.
humble harbor
The ugly US MRAP was concerning me more tbh
urban sluice
the new US MRAP looks amazing
white cobalt
VTN matches my imagination of RU and US a lot
night rover
tough crowd
urban sluice
still waiting on HMMWV GPK, TOW and CROWS
white cobalt
it's just that VTN's ace-like function can cuz a lot troubles
humble harbor
What is VTN?
urban sluice
i think some kind of randomizer for guerilla factions would be nice. in reality guerillas won't all have the exact same squad structure and weapon/uniform combos for example
i reckon they should by default also have lower skill than regulars.
urban sluice
speaking more FIA & Syndikat
white cobalt
ture
tough hatch
propeller planes dlc? So Apex, with the Caesar?
urban sluice
yeah, i use larger than usual squads and add 40% presence to them
so there's a random combination of enemy guerillas
humble harbor
Nah they want attacking propeller planes
I checked out BWmod this week. Those models and sounds are so on point. Sad that the team is that small.
white cobalt
two zeus mission can be a remake of wargame isn't it
urban sluice
BWMod is nice
white cobalt
BW is good
humble harbor
The Tiger man
white cobalt
that shell animation shocked me back to the 14
urban sluice
i actually don't like how there are so many different addons with little coordination? the thing i hate is when I have BWMod and VME PLA and RHS and all that and you end up with 5+ variants of holosight, 2 different M107 rifles, etc all with different statistics
BWMod weapon models and all that are really nice
humble harbor
True. You see where the different weapons are from in the arsenal though
urban sluice
yeah, but still
humble harbor
If BWmod would be part of RHS it would be great
urban sluice
i always found the british soldiers of 3CB to be a lot tougher than other soldiers from other mods for example
yes! and the other thing is we need a german radio protocol!
german soldiers speaking US english is real off putting
humble harbor
I guess NATO radio is in english lol
urban sluice
german soldiers speak german, you can watch any youtube videos of german bundeswehr in combat
vocal raptor
bit the bullet and am reinstalling arma 3 to see if anything changed since 2013 🤷
native charm
it's more, getting voice actors is difficult
white cobalt
pull out the radio voice from aa2
native charm
assuming that's allowed?
humble harbor
Yeah, i know. But radio might be english if on platoon level
white cobalt
like what they did for russian
white cobalt
yea so just get german from a2 too
urban sluice
yes, they spoke english, and all exactly the same voice actor too
variant 1 i think
white cobalt
🙃
urban sluice
i reckon now is a good time for French army mod? because of the recently added French language
white cobalt
then the only way is to recording it then
urban sluice
iron front 2 (Ww2 based on arma 2 engine) had German
white cobalt
yes
urban sluice
but not so good quality
urban sluice
French english doesn't even sound like french english
white cobalt
and that chinese, is so damn good
urban sluice
^^^^
love it
they even use the proper phonetic numbers in their radio comms
not 1-10 but the actual PLA numbers
humble harbor
Make weapon sounds great again
urban sluice
i actually want to see a CSAT campaign
spark zealot
Yeah, that showcase mission as csat is pretty cool
urban sluice
^^^ the Farsi radio dialog is awesome
white cobalt
we do created some CSAT mission for mutiplay
white cobalt
but a offical campaign for viper in altis will be so damn good
urban sluice
killing Syndikat drug dealers and CTRG airsofters is fun too
vocal raptor
Is Apex worth the fucking ridiculous price
urban sluice
^ tanoa alone is worth it
white cobalt
kill CTRG in altis
urban sluice
final boss: captain miller lol
white cobalt
then the last mission is a cutscreen where viper team deal with syndikat in tanoa
vocal raptor
i'll need to play some Arma again to decide if its worth it, I havent played in a long ass time and was never real good / got into it much
white cobalt
perfect connection with apex
urban sluice
i would like it, so that the missions cut between Tanoa and altis
white cobalt
yes
urban sluice
so sometimes you are following a Viper team in tanoa, other times you are a CSAT guards trooper fighting FIA
& eventually nato
white cobalt
and can have a lot connection with nato campaign
vocal raptor
also, heard A3 is 64 bit now, does it still run like ass or is it better on 64 bit
urban sluice
^^ what about an AAF/syndikat campaign, that would be funny
syndikat mission 1: deliver drugs from point A to point B
white cobalt
like CSATGT killed the C team, mortal team during millers final attack
GT killed all the CTRG in order to protect eastern wind
syndikat campaign will be good, but better as a showcase mission
syndikat mission is fight with local police force
urban sluice
and then shifting alliances with Viper etc
humble harbor
@vocal raptor Arma wont run above 60 fps on huge servers and still need tweaking. It is far from running like "ass" imo.
white cobalt
man just so many options
no wonder why the actually name of dlc is still not sure
still using the code name
urban sluice
A2 campaign was fun, i reckon they should really put some player agency back into the plot
and not just a tacked on 2nd ending to the game
white cobalt
and a mission on amstrong lead NATO force fight back in S
vocal raptor
ill have to see for myself, i dunno how it would run at 1440p on a 970
probably wont be able to get ultra or even high
white cobalt
they never explained that, they just spawn you into a already taken S island without cutscreen
vocal raptor
one thing i do know though
is this game takes like 3 years to start
oh
steam crashed
well then
humble harbor
Depends on your CPU. A 970 will easily manage the game. I have one as well
white cobalt
they built this game as a damn platform
vocal raptor
i7-4770
humble harbor
Easy peazy
white cobalt
this game can last long maybe for 5 more years
humble harbor
K? Overclocked?
white cobalt
still too many to descover
vocal raptor
not K or overclocked no
white cobalt

urban sluice
i see arma 3 lasting right until arma4 is released
arma 4, what's that gonna be? world war 2?

i lowkey hope its vietnam
white cobalt
ironfront already
spark zealot
Arma 3 will last until arma 4 is modded
humble harbor
I have a 3770k at 4.3ghz. Runs really good imo
vocal raptor
vietnam or korea
spark zealot
Arma 4 will only be played once proper mods reach it
humble harbor
I doubt that BI will change the setting by a lot
native charm
^ that
spark zealot
Why restrict the era?
humble harbor
At least no ww2 or vietnam
vocal raptor
i literally don't know anything about this game anymore
all I heard is stay away from altis life
vocal raptor
ARMA 4: CIVIL WAR
white cobalt
and WW2 in another same engine game
vocal raptor
Arma 4 will be chivalry
native charm
I don't see them going back because one of appeals of the series is combined arms with helicopters and such
humble harbor
I need helicopter in my Arma, man
white cobalt
Nothing left
vocal raptor
i dont think this game is going to start
native charm
so WWII/Korea/Early Vietnam is sketch at most
spark zealot
The reality virtuality dies with arma 3. And a new engine is born
vocal raptor
ive been sitting here for 15 minutes and nothing is happening
white cobalt
A3 touched the limit
vocal raptor
Arma 3 is using a whole 1.7mb of ram
white cobalt
restart steam
vocal raptor
they really optimized this game
native charm
I consider A3 to be pretty modern
humble harbor
Arma uses all your free ram lol
native charm
while the skins on the weapons/tanks is "futuristic" they really aren't that futuristic
white cobalt
A3 is modern based future
humble harbor
The literally could copy paste Arma 3 into a new engine and everyone would buy it. Everything else would be experimental
thin sable
how would that be better?
white cobalt
a lot stuff is exist in modern world ya know
not just blowing around like COD
but still, after 3 years I still considered that US force is using vehicles from Israel
white cobalt
is dum
humble harbor
No one wants Arma to be neither futuristic nor too far into the past
spark zealot
arma hast to be a platform
humble harbor
Ye, based in the presense
white cobalt
yes but why not M1A3 or M2 tanks
like is US gov poor as F, they can only buy tanks&armors from some middleeast country
vocal raptor
fuck this game is loud
humble harbor
Loud is good
spark zealot
I'd argue that, I could be louder
But audio cannot be correctly simulated, as there's a max volume
If there was no max, it would be a lot better
humble harbor
You talking about gun shots?
spark zealot
If a jet flies over me i want to feel it and I want my speakers to break
white cobalt
the sound of plane engine is loud
spark zealot
How else will I know it's louder than a gun
humble harbor
Jet sounds changed didnt they? Noticed a thunderous a164 flying above today on tanoa
humble harbor
What?
vocal raptor
Like I get realistic audio levels but give-me-hearing-damage loud is 👎, i get why people would like it though
is there any sort of training ground so I can easier test controls and sens and shit
humble harbor
You could load a map via editor and spawn in units and stuff to test
urban sluice
when do you think arma3 will have magazine proxies?

The cups trains will work on the Apex tracks though
And supports any map

Alright, general question. Do you guys still have a crosshair in the armed Pawnee/LittleBird?
last geyser
No
Crosshair is turned off as well because we usually play without it except vehicles
The problem persists even when I launch arma without any mod
vocal raptor
you know
just a question
has ARMA ever had any serious player-controllabe navy shit
like aircraft carriers and destroyers
if not, hope we see it soon (from the Jets DLC video having mocap for a landing signal officer using paddles iirc)
flint wedge
idk if any bigger naval assets could be implemented in a semi realistic way
I think jets are already way above the scale that would fit on maps.
vocal raptor
yeah
flint wedge
Maybe if you place a destroyer on altis and shoot tomahawks on missions on takistan...
vocal raptor
possibly
i dont think a (moving) aircraft carrier could ever be implemented tbh
way too complex
flint wedge
I dont see a reason why it should move or what the counter for it would be
vocal raptor
it could be a thing that acts as a hub for jets to refuel etc during air missions
also why is the landing officer using paddles
wikipedia said landing officers moved to radio in the 1950s
flint wedge
oh as asset for starting/landing sure. Though I don't see a point why the aircraft carrier itself should move
vocal raptor
me neither
thin sable
I do
vocal raptor
the only reason it would need to move is if you had a map where you needed to transport a shit ton of people over a long distance of water
imo
vocal raptor
but theres no maps that are multiple islands that are super far apart
except for maybe tanoa? I dont have the apex dlc so I don't know
even then they arent super far apart if so
thin sable
well no
flint wedge
there would be custom maps. And making it moveable would make sense to make it complete. Though the main reason of moving forces on such a small scale doesnt make much sense imho
thin sable
but if they go big with vehicles its not impossible to go big with maps too
vocal raptor
yeah
the maps are decently big already i mean
isnt tanoa like 300 square km
oh that might be altis im thinking of
thin sable
vocal raptor
fuck
humble harbor
well I dont think that the DLC jets will be able to do mach speeds because balancing. below Mach the maps are easily big enough. I was once test flying the F22 (of RHS i think) with around 1400kmh over Altis. It was big enough to even do decent turns
vocal raptor
(irrational fear time) idunno why but with ArmA im always lowkey afraid to go online because i always think the community is angry as fuck all the time and if you step a toe out of line people will yell at you for 20 minutes
its the same with Dota
gritty cosmos
I wouldn't worry about it, most people online have no clue what they're talking about if they do chew others out

Otherwise if you like co-op, join a unit. You lose any sense of anonymity in a unit, so you won't get anyone trashing you unless it's a really toxic group.

They've done plenty of tests and the CANNOT see you through cover. What they do have is extreme awareness. When you move from R to L behind cover, they track your speed, etc. Also, the "awareness" of other enemy units are shared with each other. That's it in a nutshell.

turn vsync off everywhere
fallow tree
Lol
Vsync off everywhere?
With Vsync on and changing Max pre rendered frames you'll be much better off than having Vsync off
So er yea
quartz magnet
no, vsync will force your fps to the next multiple or factor of your monitor's refresh rate
that's what vsync is supposed to do
so if you can't maintain 60 fps it'll force it to 30
if you can't maintain 30 it'll force it to 15
etc
Dwarden once suggested that vsync + triple buffering is a good combo, could try that
Nvidia's Adaptive Vsync is a good thing to use, although in Arma it's of questionable utility.
vocal raptor
So we're getting trains?
quartz magnet
@vocal raptor unlikely, but there are a few train mods
Tanoa has a small train on the map but it doesn't work
i'll be pleasantly surprised if they make it work though 😄
humble harbor
vsync usually add a lot of input delay for your mouse. that is why I dont use it for any game at least
gritty cosmos
Wasn't there a guy on here yesterday asking for testers for his Tanoa train mod?
feral reef
Duda, the guy i mentioned above.
vocal raptor
I mean
A train would be useful for transporting a shit ton of troops across a map like altis
Without needing tons of pilots for shuttling

Run
urban sluice
well, i'm running arma3 on a 2014 macbook pro
winged harness
What settings?
I get 45-65fps on medium settings normally but I heard Tanoa is more intensive from some of the comments
I've gotten up to 80fps while in planes high off the ground and away from all the trees and grass
humble harbor
not really. I get almost the same FPS on tanoa
what Hz rate is your CPU running at?
humble harbor
is there like a turbo boost?
winged harness
I can over clock but I don't trust myself enough to do that
humble harbor
I have the i7 3770k overclocked to 4.3GHz and run from 30-90 FPS on Wasteland servers. depending on how far the server restart is back and player count.
winged harness
4.00ghz my bad
humble harbor
easily enough. the GPU should also be enough since Arma does not use that much graphical power anyway
winged harness
I get 45 FPS average in GTA V on high
humble harbor
GTA is way more taxing in regards of GPU. Arma is all about the CPU

Turn some graphics down
unreal rivet
how do you play the game with sub-30fps? jeez thats gott abe headache inducing
winged harness
I've played World Adrift alpha on 11FPS
unreal rivet
I have no idea what that is
winged harness
Open wold game
unreal rivet
even arma 3 alpha had 30 fps 😛
winged harness
Its not out yet I got into the closed alpha
unreal rivet
open world is a fasle term, unless the world is generated to infitity
winged harness
Not supposed to say much about it though so it doest get a bad rep before its out
It is
Its like no man's sky but online and good
unreal rivet
you lost me at "like no mans sky"
winged harness
You never heard of it?
unreal rivet
another game that promised the earth, lived on its hypetrain and failed to deliver.
winged harness
Yep
But worlds adrift is outstanding if you like explorers
Everything about it is incredible
unreal rivet
looks like zelda mated with final fantasy and had a low poly UE baby.
winged harness
My opinion is super bias I've been following it for a while
Its early alpha still though
unreal rivet
bias is ok, i guess those types of games just arent my genre 😃
winged harness
I guess so
I also kind of have a thing about liking smaller companies more and giving them more praise
opal nacelle
winged harness
Gta 5 being great isn't surprising its made by a massive company that has so much money and time on its hands whereas good indie games are a little more special for lack of a better word as there is less people working on it
Like Darkest Dungeon its a great story, brutally challenging, good gameplay, great art style, and just everything is done right for a Lovecraftian video game
unreal rivet
dont forget gta spawned from an indie studio
winged harness
It did?
unreal rivet
yes
winged harness
Which one?
winged harness
Well I really like GTA a lot I just don't like Rockstar that much
fair dock
winged harness
The thing about Rockstar is their team isnt my favorite to interact with I'll just say that much to sound nicer they're also kind of greedy and force grinding
unreal rivet
probably, but each studio has its own goals, just like bohemias it to openly support modification and development and improvment of the game
of which they take a lot of community suggestions seriously and integrate many of them
urban sluice
which do you prefer - blackfish or xi'an ?
unreal rivet
without modding a lot of the tings you see, or are able to do in-game would not be possible
winged harness
I know
unreal rivet
definately one of the cooler parts of arma, always looking for improvments and take community suggestions onboard
winged harness
Here's the thing though. Certain companies make some outstanding item for a game that's like (for example the hydra in GTA V 3 million dollars) now breaking it down the average mini game or job makes around 9k-30k (Mini games and racing) and 75k-600k for a heist. Which getting into a heist is rather difficult to get into sometimes because of players restricting heists to their friends or high level players. Either that or paying around $60 in real life to get 3mil to buy the hydra (that money can easily buy a high end game like Arma 3 for example or Just Cause 3) which I personally find to be unfun as the grinding is tedious and repetitive with little to no mission generation that randomizes from a set template. I guess I just find its the little things in big name games that bothers me
This total takes hundreds of hours of gameplay to make (I've played a grand total of 240 hours in the game and only made around 5.1 million in game dollars. Which I've spent easily 1 million of on bullets and items to use in said missions and in PvP (which is mostly just people trolling others because they spend thousands of hours in game, hack, or spend hundreds on in game purchases)
Which is why Arma 3 is easily my favorite game as it doesn't force constant grinding, the devs are really good from what I've experienced so far and the community is probably my favourite of ant game I've ever played
urban sluice
^^
opal nacelle
Yeah grinding isn't a thing in Arma unless you play certain community-made game modes

opal nacelle
Quicksilver has the right of it too
winged harness
Exactly
stiff nova
Easy to jump into structured, but instantly in the action gameplay. So nice.
winged harness
Bohimia does everything a good game company should do with a video game
opal nacelle
@winged harness paying around $60 in real life to get 3mil to buy the hydra (that money can easily buy a high end game like Arma 3 for example or Just Cause 3) Push to US$70 and you get the Apex Edition (game+Apex+DLC Bundle 1)
winged harness
I am aware @opal nacelle but that adds content to the game. Real reusable stuff you can add new experience to the game rather than points or money that can be used once on something
vocal raptor
i remember back when i was a massive hater on DayZ and hoped with a burning passion they would not port it to Arma 3
and then they got their own garbage early access game
👌
winged harness
I tolerate DLC to an extent but micro transactions for in game money or special spender exclusive currency just ruins games because some people can't spend (they don't want to can't afford to or just feel IRS cheating) and others spend a ton of money and get everything without any work so there's just a huge imbalance in the community
vocal raptor
talking about dayz
does the game have vehicles yet
cause i remember for like 2 years it didnt have vehicles
tough hatch
Yes.
opal nacelle
@vocal raptor Cars yes, boats and helicopters and 'planes' (fixed-wing) no(t yet)...
vocal raptor
also i heard they disabled zombies for some reason or another
opal nacelle
and then they got their own garbage early access game coughwhoseenginemaylikelypowerarma4cough
vocal raptor
the engine doesnt make the game any better imo
winged harness
Yay. Probably getting Apex tomorrow (assuming I'm not too lazy to walk to the store)
vocal raptor
still a garbage game
opal nacelle
As for zombies, apparently the spawn/numbers thereof got severely pruned because somehow the zombies were a big drain on server performance but they've been back in a big way (if not necessarily the A2 hordes) for a while now
@vocal raptor And I'm not talking about the game itself here 😉
unreal rivet
@vocal raptor last time I played dayzsa (~1 month ago) I had zombies climbing (yes climbing) over walls chasing me
vocal raptor
climbing or phasing through walls, because i remember that was also a problem
vocal raptor
nice
unreal rivet
in 1st person only server its enough to put the shits up you lol
vocal raptor
also what would they even cover in arma 4
unreal rivet
and its was 100% smoother now they ditched sqf in that engine
vocal raptor
they've done past, present, and future pretty much
imo BI is probably gonna support ArmA 3 for a long ass time
unreal rivet
yeah
opal nacelle
and its was 100% smoother now they ditched sqf in that engine This is a pretty big deal
vocal raptor
i dont think they'll make an arma 4 for atleast like 7-10 years
stiff nova
I doubt it is that far out
unreal rivet
well they said a long time ago they are creating the dayzsa engine to be modular, so they could plug-in/unplug modules dpending on the game type, so if a4 was going to be anything, it would be based on that concept.
unreal rivet
and cannons!
vocal raptor
and cannons
unreal rivet
rip 😄
vocal raptor
and actual melee combat
green crescent
b o r i n g
vocal raptor
fine
Arma 4 will be the crusades
Arma 4 will be chinese vs mongolians
Arma 4: Honor 😉
opal nacelle
Now imagine melee and horses actually working in A4...
vocal raptor
does arma even have a melee system
opal nacelle
Nope!
unreal rivet
more importantly, what do people think of the recent forums update?
green crescent
melee pretty much doesn't play into modern combat at all
therefore it's very low priority for developers
vocal raptor
i mean
modern soldiers still have combat knives usually
and it would be nicer to jsut fucking stab a guy close range than to shoot them
winged harness
melee would be bad in Arma
green crescent
except that shooting is easier and way less risky
winged harness
it would just feel too much like Call of Duty
green crescent
knives are useful for things other than stabbing
winged harness
stealth wise sniping someone from like 1.2km is better
true
But arma doesn't have the food/water and other survival mechanics knives can be applied too
green crescent
of course not, it's a milsim not a survival sim
winged harness
I would still like to see some form of hugner mechanic or something in arma
green crescent
you don't really play the scale of time in a single mission where hunger mechanics would even come to play
for multiplayer survival scenario missions, modders can write their own scripts
feral reef
Adding Food/Drink? 5min, done.
And rdy is your survival game. Simply just add food and Drink system in
*yawn*
stiff nova
Outside of survival, I see no need for such systems in ArmA.
At least not for the gamemodes I partake in.
winged harness
true
green crescent
out of scope for the main game, and easy to add for any mission or gamemode makes it completely pointless to support on developer side
stiff nova
Agreed
winged harness
what about zues games where missions last upwards of 3 days?
green crescent
you probably should just eat irl
and pretend you ate at the game at the same time
that said i question you playing the game for three days straight, that's probably unhealthy
winged harness
not what I meant
the zues can make things like "3 days later" or "6 hours later" or whatever happen to change the tiem of day
feral reef
You know what:
Then you click 2 buttons and you ate. DOne.
Not worth any script
oh my
green crescent
either dismiss it or tie a gameplay mechanic
feral reef
Not rly needed in the VanillaGame.
green crescent
aka have your players raid something to acquire food, if you want to think of them gathering food supply
if you assume your players have food with them already, then you can also assume that they would eat during a "3 days later"-break
winged harness
fair enough
opal nacelle

umm, is Evolve bugged/not working?
It worked just fine last time
I make the server, and my friend doesn't see it in the list
halp
Has anyone else had this problem?
finite relic
The first time I've even seen anyone mention Evolve here, so the odds are slim.
teal moth
So what should I use for LAN hosting?
finite relic
To be honest, the only ones I've seen using LANs for that have been cheaters trying to avoid being caught using hacked versions of the game or stolen content.
finite relic
Not saying you didnt, its just that its so prevelant (LAN cheating) that I wont even mention the names of "legit" services. I see it like a hookah. Its meant for smoking tobacco, but most of the time (in the US at least) its used for smoking marijuana. Even though its a legit tobacco smoking device, it will get you arrested in quite a few places for "posessing drug paraphernalia".
teal moth
So how should I then play with friends privately?
I'm not going to rent server space for 3 people
finite relic
you can do it directly through Arma
finite relic
plenty of vids on Youtube, try something like ARMA 3 Tutorial: Host Online Coop Mission/Scenario
cinder charm
What?
No, you're confused
Arma 3 has inbuilt virtual server hosting
You just portforward 2302-2305 on UDP and host via the ingame GUI
It sounds like you're inexperienced with hosting virtual servers so it's definitely something you want to youtube
teal moth

3 million own it. Concurrent players currently averages about 22,000, up to 40k-50k max
right now, there are a just under 30k currently playing
according to Steam statistics anyway
urban sluice
I really wish there was more information about what modes people were playing, I think the community could do with that sort of information.
Many of the milsim communities are sort of poorly represented just on the basis of how they play, at fixed times in a week on passworded servers. There are probably quite a lot of the more traditional arma players than most think but I suspect a lot of players don't see it in the multipler list of games and hence assume it doesnr exist.
dapper slate
well a public mp arent that good so thats why serious guys go into private
arma 3 that is
arma 1 had a amazing MP base
which probably nobody remembers
fervent jolt
the issue is that there is a lot of players that would ike to play in a coordinated/milsim/ralism way but can't really find each other ...
sweet axle
I only ever played Arma 1 MP
fervent jolt
ad to that the gajilion prefferences on specific mods and you create a huge hinderance
sweet axle
OFP and Arma was good because the major MP fad of the time was stuff like CTI and Evo
dapper slate
and also ACE1 was amazing too in MP
sweet axle
Yeah, kind of enhanced the cooperative play everyone seemed to enjoy back then
dapper slate
i miss those times
one the best moments in public games ever
it even had a strong PVP , very funny memories
there was that mission called Evolution and that other one heh
sweet axle
Yeah, I remember Evo was good fun. Many memories of crashing helicopters due to red chains though
sweet axle
So was JIP and things that made missions like Evolution possible really
at least on terrain as big as Sahrani seemed back then
icy owl
I used to play Operation Flashpoint CTI on a dial-up modem and later a satellite uplink we needed that chain back in the day. 🤓

like
itll load the first 50 servers over the course of like 4 minutes

and it never showed up on the server list again
unless arma servers just take like 30 mins to restart

they don't

also the recents list doesnt work
only god knows why
this is not normal
also 700/904 of the servers are either altis life, tanoa life, liberation, exile, or just "Arma 3 (???)"
looking at the resource monitor for internet
ARMA is using like 2kb/s of internet
fucking discord uses more than that
