chrisj1968 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 ARMA 3 in my opinion was a great buy. The sound of the firearms is spot on with what it was like when I served. Actually it was eerie and gave me some flashbacks. I think ARMA3 is more refined. I love the fact you can use the 2D or 3D editor. nice touch! only thing I think would make the game better is, rather than be hemmed up with a predetermined soldier, I wonder if I could create a utility that would allow you to select a soldier Type> weapon you want> and then start from the premade start point. I like the sniper soldiers, specops to be specific. anyone want to play an ARMA3 COOP would be be able to contact me on Steam. my gamer tag is [Black6]Actual. my old call sign in the military was Black6-Romeo (Radio operator) Black6-Actual would be the company commander. But please feel free to add me to your friends list and we can ally up and complete a mission. I don't like the halogram sites, I like the scopes because shooting long distances is a bit tougher and I find myself having a hard time seeing distance targets but add my as a friend [BLACK6]Actual.

chrisj1968 Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 it is amazing. they totally redid the sound. when you shoot, you hear the echo and report EXACTLY or the closest I have ever heard in a game thus far. though It was in during the M16A2 days. but the combat is awesome. my eyes are bad so I can't see the enemy too far off. as leader, I just let them find the enemy and engage. as we used to say in the Army: Shoot, move, communicate. in past ARMA games, you only heard the radio voice. but I was standing next to a leader and heard him standing right there AND on the radio. its awesome. the graphics rock, the trees look like trees now and not a simple geometry with a texture slapped on it.

Back in the mid 1990's I had to choose the x's on Compuserve and/or Prodigy ISP because robw was taken and I've kept it ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's worth mentioning that Arma 3 is in no way similar to BF4. Just pointing this out if you're thinking they might play similarly. xrobwx71, chrisj1968 and xendrome 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pointing this out if you're thinking they might play similarly. trag3dy, you got that right. BF4 is cartoonish, in terms of graphics, gameplay. ARMA3 really requires tactics. to me, the islands seem a lot larger and the game engine seems by my experience, 1Km looks like 1Km. some games don't give you that real view of distance. I'm in the midst of learning but also building a COOP mission which we'll all be a Bradley IFV patrol and patrol to several camps/bases and take out enemy armor assets. I'm learning to create the patrols. I have 2 IFV's already grouped that when my or the leaders IFV takes off, the IFV platoons with an attached M1 (deciding M1A1 or A2 or A2 Tusk) as part of each group of vehicles. the Sabo rounds will come in handy. I completed the IFV training school in Ft Benning GA. 1993 and I know how to drive these awesome vehicles. I'll keep you posted. in the mean time feel free to add me to your friends list and I'll enjoy hopping and popping bad guys. I have no issue with letting someone else be the leader. its all about fun anyway. I'll try to assimilate the mods I have active. I have a special mod that ported the ARMAII maps, most notably the Afghanistan like maps which I like. I'm creating a second mission based upon the Operation red wings from the movie "lone Survivor" about Navy Seal Marcus Lutrell movie. It's coming along nicely. based on the map terrain, I can't make everything happen but the battle of being out numbered and have the bad guy, named Shah placed already. trying to learn to make a trigger if we kill him the mission completes successfully. I have many more ideas. one will be based upon my Cold war days before the Germany's united and the wall came down. my company had a mission on the famed Fulda Gap. but that'll come later see you guys on the battlefield. -Chrisj1968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack W Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I've seen a lot of talk about ARMA 3, not really looked into it much. I might pick it up in the coming weeks or months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do enjoy the more real-life-like simulation games, in comparison to the artworked, brightly-coloured sim games. So this might be for me; I'll go watch some videos.

In Ark, if you haven't played it, you get cold and can actually die if you don't build a fire from the resources you collect ie, wood, plant material. You get hungry and even poop from time to time.

xendrome Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 This is pretty much ARMA 3 - Spend 20 minutes making a crappy plan, then hug corners in a city while you try to identify where shots are coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tired of the Eotech sights though. I own one and you get no zoom at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisj1968 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Update: I got back from vacation in Southern California and my Arma3 was updated probably within the last couple days but BI completely re-created a new under interface at the main menu. It shocked me at first but after checking things out, it seems pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
