[Data4]

Can't wait to run missions on Altis. The place is goddamned huge.

 

[Konjad]

Altis is out.

Bros, help me fight the good fight

I'd help you but then I'd reveal my steam ID to the cockdex and I can't have that, now can I? You have my spiritual support though!

BURN IT TO THE GROUND

why not?

They don't need to make a campaign. They need to work on porting in A2/OA and other addons instead of relying on community jury-rigging with stuff like AiA. Really, who needs single player content with Arma anyway? Not everyone likes the future tech, and Arma2+ assets are much more rich and varied. But the A3 engine sure is pretty.

Because that'd be like knowing the true identity of Claw from Inspector Gadget.

 

[MetalCraze]

I need singleplayer content.
But it will be horrible horrible shit in ArmA3. Showcases prove that people making missions for ArmA3 have not a slightest clue about what ArmA is. They think it's Call of Duty or something.

Also fuck porting the old content. Sides not being just recolors of each other with exactly the same weapons like it was in shitty cheap late 90s RTS games would be a good start.
But it will not happen of course when fail train is going full speed. BIS has cut out civilian sites module "because it was causing issues" which in BIS-2013 speak means "you can forget about seeing it ever again". What issues did it cause I have no idea. It's that module that added civies wandering around towns.

It took me 1 hr and fifteen minutes to fly around the perimeter in a humming bird at around 100-150km/hour. Lot's of buildings and props, the thing is massively huge, looks like a lot of detail down on the ground. Plus nicely varied terrain, lot's of settlements, some sprawling towns. Didn't even fly through the interior. Looks like a lot of work went into to. I'm impressed. Hopefully we'll get a full game to go with the map within the next year or so.

It seems BIS is bringing back the good old game-speed-depends-on-fps logic abandoned in the early 1990s

Now when I'm in a tight spot I can just press the turbo button on my 286 to slow the game down!

This just in; If DICE released mods support for BF, you will stop enjoying and playing the ArmA series.

ArmA3 plot details leaked for a campaign that does not exist in the final release
Courtesy of biforums

Considering all the wrecks it's been a zombie apocalypse,iranians developed the virus in those domes and Altis was the testbed,in a week everything went to hell,AAF stepped in and blew everyone cars to prevent escape.Also for some reason iranians hated women so the virus killed them all.
Then Nato was in the area and when they saw all the mess they couldn't stay away from it.Sadly a few of their transport planes were shot down and CSAT managed to steal some UGVs and a few turrets.
When they saw Nato superior turret technology they decided to transform the domes into factories to make the new turret for all their vehicles.The UGV were too advanced to reproduce so they just decided to paint them differently just to piss Nato even more.
FIA was made from surviving civ population,when they saw all their women died they decided to take arms,now they plan ops in their garages.

But hey at least it has trading cards now!

But will it have Day1 DLC?

 

[MetalCraze]

No.

But don't be worried. With so much content missing from the game it has all the great potential for dozens of DLCs to make up for no Day1 one.

 

[AstroZombie]

This is more expensive than Call of Duty: Ghosts over here, thus, Bohemia is eviler than Activision.

 

[Zewp]

The Steam forum for this game is pretty lol at the moment. Dwarden being a moron and other morons clamoring for his favor.

 

[Infinitron]

MetalCraze Would you consider writing a full length review and analysis of ARMA 3 and why it sucks, once the game is released? I was thinking it could be funny if we posted that on the front page of the Codex.

Yes I can do that.
No "shit" and swear words in it even.

I see that the game has been released. The offer to do a review stands, if you're still interested.

 

[MetalCraze]

Yep I will do it soonish

I think it's a joke based on some recent complaints that both sides have the same fucking vehicle turrets.

[Stereotypical Villain]

Eat shit skyway this is like that thing ess vee was talking about

 

[MetalCraze]

Damn you SV you win again

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

Damn right. Now get on Steam and let's play some S.T.A.L.K.E.R. multiplayer like we always do.

 

[Konjad]

Check out my vid, watch it from the beginning to an end.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

Your strategic acumen knows no bounds. I am disappointed though... I was expecting to hear you count to potato in that video.

 

[CreamyBlood]

Sorry Konjad,

Didn't watch. It's a disappointment. Not sure who that fat fucker is but they haven't come close to getting the basics right. I'm talking about helicopters and convoys or any basic scripting that was (and is) built into Arma 2.

Nothing ever works, if you want to make 'a mission' make sure that it is stripped down to the most basic level. There is tonne frustration here. Not sure how calling it a 'release' makes anything better. It isn't

Other issues have been harrped upon for basically half a year with some tweaking to AI. I understand the politics and money thing but WHY? Oh WHY? would anyone buy this?

Just pissed off more than I thought. It's one thing to make shitty, boring and broken 'showcases' or whatever they call it but when you want to use the 'sandbox' there is nothing there and the AI fucks you over except for the most simplistic cases, you get angry.

Don't give a fuck anymore. I tried. But this is a miss. It's putrid crape.

I really hate Arma 3. I wish there was an easy solution but there itsn't. Self sucking Jupitar sized panets. Who know, paby there's a seep
