ARMA III

Re: ARMA III

Like anything it requires practice, you can't expect to jump on a game as complicated as the ARMA series and have everything come second nature as you would like. That is part of the purpose of these missions also, the veterans of the series such as myself or Chizzypoof can help guide the new comers. So while you get better at the game, tactics, and skills required you also get to experience fun multiplayer experience.

How do you guys think we should organize the missions and such, everything in this thread will get swamped and lost quickly, especially guys who run only 10 posts per page instead of the 40 like most of us.

Lol I run 10 ppp. Also its more of a situation where Mouse and Keyboard is very uncomfortable for me. I have no CPU desk anbd use my TV as a monitor. I basically got to sit in a chair with my Keyboard in my lap and have a Wireless keyboard box with a shirt over it as my "Mouse pad" laying on the arm of the chair.

Theres also the issue with me having no Mike, well no decent one. I got the good old long and skinny mikes that sit on a table and need to use headphones when I use it as to not have my tv sound come through my mike as well. The PC has been a PIMA recently with these issues....lol.

Also another thing is, not sure if Arma has it, why in the hell is it so hard for games to add in voice chat to the PC instead of expecting you to download other software just to talk? (Just a random rant, lol)

I however was a big Operation Flashpoint fanatic (Old PC one) and played the living hell out of it. I loved the Co-Op aspect of it and the mission creator. Thats why ARMA intrigues me so much. It looks like OF but much deeper and better. This is the sole reason as I havent picked up Arma 3 yet. The steam sale was tempting for 30 bucks however.

ARMA 3 does have in game chat.

Your desk setup is something you just have to commit to and set it up how it should be. Rocking something that frustrates you is not enjoyment, instead it does just like you said "becomes a PIMA".

For instance my desk setup, was PC, PS3, PS4, and laptop. TV and 27" gaming monitor. My desk was sitting about 3" higher than I liked it, plus I wanted to add shelves for the PS4 and PS3 to sit out the way. So I tore apart my entire area and spent all day reattaching the counter tops to wall, cutting and mounting shelves, plus reconnecting all my equipment. It was not a enjoyable experience but it was required for me to enjoy my gaming space.

Now with that said I'm still not done, I need to finish painting the new shelves, windows, and walls but it is coming along how I want. So my point is picture what you NEED to enjoy yourself and just do it.

Oh and run 40 ppp

Love that set up. Lol. I took a picture of my set up below. I got one of those lawn chairs that fold up to sit while I'm playing in front of the tv. Then I got my box that I use as my mouse pad on the arm on the right of the chair with my keyboard on a lapdesk on my lap. Would you know of a small desk/table I could get to sit at instead so I could lay my mouse and keyboard on that instead. Prefer one that's easy to move to the corner of the room due to this being in the bedroom. Also posted this in the steam and cpu gaming thread just incase.

Re: ARMA III

Look up couch dinner trays, there is a bunch of different pull up designs. That will be what you need.

Yeah that look to be perfect. I need a new wireless laser mouse. For some reason it's very picky about what it wants to work on. I got 2 mouse pads that it doesn't want to work on even the built in pads in the lapdesk won't work on it. Lol. I got to literally use a old pair of this sweatpants wrapped around a box for it to work. Lol. I guess it's the material it likes. Cpu accessories must hate me.

Re: ARMA III

Update: I ended up getting a cheap table and a 30 dollar pair of world headphones. Set up now:

Re: ARMA III

That is perfect for what you need

On topic, I been working on a ARMA 3 mission. It involves couple cool scripts that make the mission interesting to say the least

Couple more days and I should have it ready for public play!

Tried adding you on steam but can't find your Steam name. Keeps saying no user found.

Re: ARMA III

I'll check it out when I get home from work tonight and will add you. I'm new to Steam so I'm not sure what the issue is.

Armaholic is a good site. The other place that I always use is just the official ARMA 2/3 forums. There are sections for mods and missions from the user community.

As far as which folder, do you have combined operations? If so, install them in that folder if I remember correctly. If not, just your main Arma 2 folder.

Re: ARMA III

Alright, I think I should be good to go now and my steam name should be searchable.
