ARMA III

Re: ARMA III

I'll definitely look into it. Also, the mission on the Workshop right now is very basic. Literally just the tutorial, one outpost, and the Guerrilla island. I do have more than that on the actual file I am working on, but that's all the demo has that I uploaded. So don't go in expecting a whole lot out of it right now. I just put it out there to really get feedback and at least have some people know about it.

I've toyed around a lot more in the editor and learned a lot through just trial and error. I just have to create the tasks where I can use what I learned. I was able to create a helicopter crash and I though it was pretty cool watching it from inside the helicopter. When I set it up to watch it from a mile away, it was awesome. You see the heli, hear the bang, see the fire, then the thing spirals out of control, out of view in the woods, then you hear another explosion and see the smoke. Definitely something I want to get into the world for sure.

Re: ARMA III

I'm losing hope we will ever have a OS group of ARMA 3 players like this

Re: ARMA III

I never got it because of lack of controller support but love this kind of interaction.

How many guys do you have?

Re: ARMA III

So far consistently we have had 4. We have just been joining the 7th cav realism server and playing with the 50+ other guys on the server. I'd love to get more OSers, we just don't have the PC users here to support it.

We did have a epic night raid on a enemy city yesterday. Me and a buddy moved into a city controlled by enemy troops and several tanks. Our force was pushing in with around 30 or 40 troops and couple helos over head for support. The action was slow at first as we pushed in, taking out troops one at a time. Then about half way into the city, all hell erupted behind us on our left flank. The enemy flanked us and pushed in with 30+ ground infantry plus vehicles.

Me and my buddy climbed to the 3rd floor of a half destroyed building to get some kind of line of sight of the encroaching troops. I see 10 or 12 in a tree line and start ringing out shots. My buddy starts throwing down fire and that was the start of our epic encounter.

Once the troops pin pointed our location we were under a hail of gun fire and explosions from thrown grenades. We kept popping out and would just spray and pray into the trees, trying to keep them suppressed. Half our unit was killed and it was just me and my buddy stuck in the 3rd floor of this building, now damn near surrounded. They are pushing in on the building where they are damn near straight under us. My buddy then takes a round which incapacitates him, he is unconscious (telling me over teamspeak). I attempt to enter the room to try and save his life but the rounds were coming in to much. So my only option now was to chuck some grenades around the building and hope to give me a opening so I can get in the building. At this point it was feeling pretty hopeless lol, but then the fire start to cease. So I low crawled in the room, grabbed him and dragged him out into a secure hallway. Just then I hear a low faint voice over the mic, "Don't worry we going to get yall out!" A solider comes running up the stairs, throws my buddy on his shoulders and we take off down the stairs to see a CH-47 chinook just outside our building loading troops. He lays my buddy down near the helo and a combat medic gets him fixed up. We all load up into the CH-47 and head off back to base to rearm.

It was a epic night battle to see all the muzzle flashes, grenades popping off, tracers lighting up the sky at the helicopters, and rockets slamming into the city ahead of us. These kind of experiences is what makes ARMA the ultimate shooter sandbox. Pure random and unscripted combat.

Re: ARMA III

What do you guys recommend for a headset and mic? Looking at the corsair 1500's.

Re: ARMA III

From the 7th Cav server tonight. Attacking a enemy city at night which we had to seize a stadium then destroy a radio tower. Little 5 man squad working over the mic, played for 2 hours and never died. It was a awesome experience.

Looks like I start a 4 week boot camp with 7th Cav starting next week. Then I will finally be able to get in on the weekly 60 player operations.

Its pretty awesome how it is run, each person has a position. Its looks like I will be a part of 1st battalion, charlie company, as a light infantryman.

Re: ARMA III

Haha it's kinda funny to see you guys talking about the 7th Cav... I was in and ran the Arma BN for some time a while back... This is me on their wall of honor. http://www.7thcavalry.us/milpacs/sol...?uniqueid=3466 LOL.

It is a GREAT milsim community, just be sure to not let it turn into too much of a paperwork simulator! Best of luck guys.
