Re: ARMA III

How much is the dlc? Also what would I have to disable with this update?

[Phobia]

ARMA III

Free, just turn off all mods to test it. After some rounds of testing, run some tests with the OS pack to see if any issues are brought on by the patch.

Re: ARMA III

Free? Hell, I thought it was paid DLC lol. Will do some testing tonight.

Re: ARMA III

WOW wtf, guess I was wrong. It was originally designated as being free or apart of the DLC package. Now I'm seeing it on steam for $15 bucks!!! WOW talk about not worth it at all when we have mods thats already do this. How does Bohemia think this will sell? No damn way I'm paying for something that is free content from the modding community just to have the Bohemia created by tag.

HAHA on the good side it makes my job easier from a mod package stand point.

Edit: Now, I'm confused. After reading it is only the weapons and ghillie suits which are paid for but the revive system, enemy AI, weapon resting, and new sound will all be free?!?!

I'm not 100% right now but will do more digging.

Re: ARMA III

Wow. $15 for something mods do? I agree. Screw that.

I think the multiplayer mode is a free update so that's all I want.

Re: ARMA III

I could be wrong, but think the $15 is for the 7 weapons only. Most of the other content is a free update. No way in $<%# I would buy that.

Re: ARMA III

Well guys sorry I haven't been on much but I have been enjoying following this thread.

Wife and I just closed on our first house earlier this week, so I've been a bit busy with home improvement and moving stuff. Hopefully when all is settled you guys will still be pumping these arma nights out.

That said did request and watch some of papernut playing last night. I couldn't tell what was happening besides there was a gunship and he didn't have any ammo left.

Looks fun! Hope to join you guys sometime. But for the meantime I can always watch your arma missions via steam broadcasting.

You were watching the Paper/Candy comedy hour. We got killed and were around 2-3 miles away from our squad since we could not spawn any closer. We decided to go on our own with a target and experiment with a few things, but that chopper did not cooperate......

Join us anytime as this game is a blast with friends.

If only I would of checked the damn cockpit when we were assaulting that base. I could of took out the pilot and maybe took it to Drews location. We planned everything right as well. Had a good set up and were destroying those people.

That chopper blew us up so many times on the way to Drew. Then we finally by passed it by running through the trees and Drew left due to the Code not being seen. Lol.

I appreciate yall keeping the attack helicopters busy while I took care of the mission objectives.

If only I didn't forget the key code to get into the warehouse where the hidden tanks were....

Re: ARMA III

Downloaded the patch and test it out.

The new stances are awesome. I also like the new suppression and recoil effects.

That being said.....I wasn't "wowed" by the new sounds. They're nice...but I think I like Dragonfyre, etc. better. I also think I still like AGM better than the vanilla treatment, etc.
