I tried really hard to get into this game but I just can't remember so much about everything.
And I played like an hour or two on some populated server and just once killed some guy and in other cases just kept dying without even seeing the enemy.

[Charlievrw]

Pht, like i'm gonna wake up at 9am on a Saturday to play Arma with you guys.

[geogzm]

This has to be the most replayable game I've played, falling just short of a few others.

[shian]

I still don't understand why we have 2 Arma threads

I don't think the Arma 2 version works.

This is the third iteration of the ARMA 2 thread, there isn't another one at the moment.

solution: don't play on pub servers, the game is 100 times more fun with friends

[Falchion]

How about we try to play today because last night everyone just dispersed?

Edit: Even if there would not be too many people playing there's plenty of missions on the server for 4 to 8 players.

New Arma 3 screenshots:









I fucking love the terrain in the first picture.



And heres an amazing one you guys might not have seen:

[kukiric]

They really need to turn down blur. The left part on the first picture is really blurry, and the rocks look pretty meh.

[Flubadoo]

Are there any really funny messed up scenarios with a bunch of objects attached to vehicles and such?

Heya, my green man gaming copy of A2 out of nowhere stopped working with my steam OA, I was previously able to play CO, but now OA crashes on startup when I call the CO option trough steam, it says it cant access bin.pbo that is in the A2 vanilla folder, anyone knows of a solution?

I tried reinstalling A2 but it didn't solve my problem, and I can play both games stand-alone fine.

Nevermind, fixed it by correcting the game location on the registry, after that running the CO option from steam made it work.

Still looks overwhelmingly like Arma 2 with weird futuristic vehicles, weapons, and uniforms being used by random nations.

I've logged somewhere around 370 hours in ARMA 2 and at least 100 hours in ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead so far. Just goes to show how entertaining and replayable the game is. I need Cuel to show us his numbers, he has an amount easily beating anyone elses.

help

i'm back from skiing did you guys play this weekend

[Woomp]

Iran is invading Black Mesa???!?>!?!

[StickyNade]

[Killerjc]

I can't even see half the screenshot.

[TheTalon]

I see that they're using the Phx pack here

I think I'll wait on picking up Arma 3 until ACE is up and running with some Current tech

[shian]

The more I look at the Arma 3 units, the more I dislike it.

[Falchion]

You're the type of people who are asking for options to force correct uniforms and eliminate the gear customisation.

fuck yes developers that don't suck cock

[aliendrone123]

Can't wait for ARMA 3, though I do want to get a better graphics card for it. The game looks great.

[Squeegy Mackoy]

Do you think you could throw this in the OP?

Bringing this up here again. Everything in Arma 3 is real equipment, including things that never got out of prototype stage.

That's the Merkava tank, and it has been in service since 1978

yeah but something in me tells me that if WWIII was to break out we'd be modernizing current equipment and making new designs, not fielding older prototypes.

That's what tweaks my tail

are you fucking retarded or something
like no joke how does "real or prototype" bring up call of duty
arma 2 already has real and prototype weaponry in the game, namely the SCAR and M8

Coming from someone who finds Cold War era weaponry and doctrine most interesting, Arma 3 just looks weird. But we've already gone over this, and I do have high hopes for the game. Thing is when you take relatively crude weaponry and pit two average forces against each other it feels more like they're actually fighting than some robots and ultra-tacticool elite soldiers duking it out in a modern battlefield.

You need to launch it in MP, since all the non-zombies are marked as "Playable".

[Woomp]

If only they added realistic flight control in ArmA3, merge of IL-2 realism a and ArmA3 as it is right now would be great.

uhhk disagree even though I heard that in this very thread.

[Drunken Moose]

So, I finally bought and downloaded ARMA II, with all expansions. When are the usual playing times?

Most of this stuff is Near-Future tech and I don't like it. It's like Battlefield 2142 with all the sharp angles and designs that are for looks instead of practicality. The ONLY thing I like in Arma 3 are the Ragdolls and Coyote Packs the Iranians are wearing

Flat surfaces are easy to mass produce.
If you don't like it, then you're stuck in the passed.
