element1108 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 licensing? then explain how they were able to use real life equipment and uniforms in arma 1 and 2? as for ace, what a joke. the very definition of bloatware. and porting mods over from arma 2 will be a waste of everyone's time. ugly, low detail models from arma 1 era=bad. best thing to do will be to create new models for it. as for the engine. it looks like vehicle and object physics are in. view distance and terrain obviously better. higher detailed models and shaders. but one thing, will soldiers still have trouble going inside buildings? i saw various screenshots where the same stupid sit and stand animations from arma 1 are still being used. the animation system looks like it'll be the same exact thing as confirmed by all shots and videos. not impressed. and i want to wait and see how everyone reacts when it turns out to be true. probably blind loyalty takes over the cerebellum again. If someone likes ARMA it's probably not the extreme case of blind loyalty. It's probably simply because they enjoy it. Despite it's flaws. I somewhat appreciate your cynical attitude though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchesterdelta1 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I will look it up for you. Just moved to Ireland from Holland so i dont have my computer here right now. But from memory you probably should disable it in one of the ACE files. ;) Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.

ACE rocks, if you don't like it then don't install it. For me ACE improves the realism of Arma 1 and 2, also the 3d models are not as bad as you are saying they are actually quite good. If Arma3 has a more detailed graphics engine and supports better more detailed 3d models then it maybe up to the devs as to whether or not such addons can be added but I wouldn't have a problem with it so far what I've seen looks good.

winchesterdelta1 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Some more news on Arma III Behind the Scenes! Ahead of a forthcoming developer's blog, here's a peek at the kind of behind-the-scenes photos we're all set to share! In the post, Ivan Buchta describes a field trip to Hungary, where some of the team were able to get to grips with a certain beast: "the worst thing that could happen is that you miss the berm and the bullet would continue to a nearby village, or you displace your shoulder and the optics would tear into your forehead" ... the instructor 'joked'!

winchesterdelta1 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 New deveopers blog about recording the sounds for the Gepard GM6 Lynx for Arma 3 adn info about the sound engine. I hope they did the distance sounds right this time because that will bring so much more immersion when playing. Hungary for Sound Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.

BTTW-DratsaB Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The sounds I have been most impressed by, that BIS have made, would probably be the Helicopter sounds for Operation Arrowhead. They sounded really nice. BIS can be a bit hit and miss with their sounds though. I remember the A10 GAU sounded like a Browning M2 :doh: .

winchesterdelta1 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 LoL yeah A-10 sounds where really bad.... And sound overall was not that good. But i could live with it for the other things we got back. Community sound packs gonna stau the best, even for arma 3 i think. Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.

joey45 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The best thing about BIS is that you can mod the hell out of their games. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

joey45 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 They do use DRM. it's called FADE and a CD key. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

joey45 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 They later take away the need for the disc in the drive but they don't take out the DRM. And yes FADE is better then the other stupid stuff outthere like what Ubi curled out. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

winchesterdelta1 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I found this interesting info on the BI forum. It seems that the tanks and vehicels will be modular. It's a interesting feature. The vehicles in ArmA3 are modular, that means that you can add different things to the base model such as extra armour, a turret and other things that we don't know yet. Vehicle modularity is on the list on the first page. Indeed! These are part of the modular turrets. We can equip various parts of a vehicle. E.g. the Patria AMV can be equipped with a NEMO mortar system or a MG turret which can also be found on the M-ATV. You can also take the merkava base, equip it with a artillery turret and put a MG turret on top of it. The vehicle customization really goes into details just like the soldier loadouts. Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyroflash Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I need to go kill some bad guys with my 107 again, maybe I'll play it this weekend. If you play ACE, the guys over at the 15th run a wonderful server that does Fallujah and domination. Some of the guys don't like the Iraq map though as it lags older computers. Still, it is great playing with other people, even as a pubby, that enjoy teamwork. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
