Steam sale this weekend. 80% off!

Can we have a general discussion of arguably the most /k/ game? I've had this for about a year but I'm simply overwhelmed. Where to start? What mods should I get? How do you guys play online and what do you play? Are arma II (the pmc dlc looks badass) and ARMA 1 worth the dosh?

What about the ARMA 3 dlc? Why is it still so fucking expensive? The aircraft dlc they released looks awesome.

All of the RHS mods on the workshop are really nice. I usually make my own scenarios playing online and be gay sometimes. I agree on the Jets DLC, besides the Apex DLC this is the first DLC that looks worth it.

>near futuristic 5.56 loads

They're not fucking plasma tipped rail gun rounds, they're still just 5.56. Just because it's the future doesn't mean they can somehow bend the laws of physics and come up with some sort of magic future powder load that we're somehow incapable of creating today. It's just 5.56.

Besides, the MX series rifle you're using fires a caseless 6.5 cartridge, not 5.56. The round likely sacrifices some of 5.56's penetrating characteristics for better stopping power, and there's no reason to think it's particularly effective at penetrating body armor.

And those "island niggers" are a fully equipped modern military force with F2000s, Leopard IIs and Warrior IFVs; I don't know what led you to the conclusion that they wouldn't be able to get their hands on some simple plate carriers.
>>
>>33729296
3 shots of near future 5.56 should go through brittle level 4 armor

It feels dumb as fuck hitting people with that many shots and them not reacting at all

>>33729309
Yeah they may have plate carriers but come on a fucking new 5.56 or old cartridge hitting someone 3 times in the chest and having no effect?
>>
>>33729260
Our military has had that for like ten years
>>
>>33729196
most bullshit is 6.5 has better armor penetration than 5.56 and 5.45

Level IV plates can easily take 3 or more rounds of 5.56.

>>33729333
Of any 5.56 as long as it's not AP. Those plates are made to take a lot of punishment, the companies that make them just don't want to advertise them as taking 10 rounds of 5.56 or something like that to avoid lawsuits.

The DLC is expensive because you get quite a bit with it, new map, new weapons, vehicles, equipment. IMO the new map makes it as good as a new game
>>
>>33729337

But do you think 20 years from now soldiers fighting against body armor entirely will have the same shit fmj 5.56? That is what I'm saying

>>
>>33729355
If you can hit someone with one round of AP 5.56, you can hit someone with two. What's the point of having AP ammo if people are still using plates?

Also another problem is leg shots or arm shots not actually wounding or injuring

>>33729369
What?

What do you think they're going to do? Invent tiny little shaped charge 5.56 warheads to pierce body armor? Create super hard diamond or unobtainium tipped penetrators? It's 20 years in the future, not star trek.

I don't fucking know. But I find it hard to believe we'd be using the same shit fmj and I also find it hard to believe every soldier would be running around with level 4 armor.

>>33729374
>Also another problem is leg shots or arm shots not actually wounding or injuring
Download ACE. It adds limb damage, and knockdowns if you hit people in the chest. Frag is more realistic too.

Either I can make my ammo load heavier in the hopes that I'll penetrate some Chinaman's plates, or I can carry more ammo and just shoot said Chinaman more.

Get the Epoch expansion. Don't really need the rest of the DLC if you don't want them.

Mods would depend on whether you're looking for milsim or survival. If you just want to mess around and get used to the equipment there's a casual server-side mod (don't need to download anything) called Wasteland.

No, and it shouldn't be able to; level IV is perfectly capable of stopping .308 as well.

I really don't know where you're getting this idea from that Arma 3 should have some sort of star trek tier futuristic technology and nothing they use should be the same as what we're using now. Military technology was largely the same 20 years ago and it will be largely the same 20 years from now. Unless you think the soldiers should all be walking around in mech suits I'm really not sure what it is you expect to be seeing.

>>33729196
Mods to get include, both RHS USAF, and RHS Russian Federation, CUP Terrains, and all of the NI Arms weapons. right there with those four mods you have DRASTICALLY increased the amount of weapons, gear, vehicles, and terrains all of which are the highest quality that the mod scene provides. You can get ACE3 as well if you like, but honestly its a little to tryhard for my tastes.

DLC wise, you can pretty much avoid all of it and not have your experience diminished, the mods above provide PLENTY to play around with, unless you are really into the whole near future theme, in which case go for it. the APEX expansion being really the only one you should consider purchasing, mainly just for the Tanoa terrain, as it is a good asset and unique from what you can find in mods.

dont bother buying any of the previous titles, they have not aged well and the campaigns are not worth the struggle of dealing with the older gameplay systems, arma 3 improved the gameplay tremendously over the previous titles.

and the best piece of advice i can give is go find a community to join that plays on a regular basis, pub games can be fun, but you will NEVER reach the full potential of what the game can be if that is all you do.

>>33729304
yo
>>
>>33729506
It's all just hypothetical BS anyway it very well could have advanced body armor for all we know, just like ammo could've advanced as well. And honestly if ammo was that useless against armor as it is in Arma I doubt they'd be using it that far in the future if enemies are apparently entirely armored in level 4

I just think it makes for a shit game experience when you hit someone in the chest and nothing happens besides them very lightly flinching.

Stop being so entitled. Arma 3 has had more free content released for it than any other Arma title. The most important features of each DLC (ballistics model, damage models, etc.) are given to everyone free. The only shit you pay for are a few assets that are optional at best. Are they overpriced? Yeah, but you're also paying for the game's development that resulted in the free content that everyone got.

It isn't the best DLC model in the industry, but it is far from the worst. Just get it on sale, like it is now.

Oh come on, it's really not that bad.

The DLC guns are pointless in most scenarios pretty much and decent modded game-mode will have it's own weapons added, and with Helicopters/Cars you can still ride as a passenger, the only people who are salty over the DLCs are Koth players that can't pick up guns.

Granted the only DLC that you might actually need is Tanoa as many mods have taken to using the foliage assets in lieu of making their own.

The game would play like absolute ass if you allowed the clients to render at full framerate, so the only option is to make the game play like extreme ass by capping framerate.

>>33733939
Considering it's basically the same shit from ARMA 1, I'd say yes, it is. Maybe KSP comes close.
>>
>>33733873
I don't understand all the technical aspects of it but the more entities exist on a server (ie if a servers been up for a while or has a bunch of people on it) regardless of whether your client is rendering them or not the server is so your FPS drops. Scripts also fuck your fps for whatever reason.

Sorry, I like stable games with not shitty controls.

Simulator games were a mistake and attract the most autistic motherfuckers outside of Speedruns and Garry's Mod. Besides the god awful engine where even my computer (i7-3930k at 4.6 GHz, EVGA Titan X, 32GB DDR3 RAM, running on an SSD) the game still runs like absolute hot garbage, the community is terrible.

I wrote the system, here are a few tips to make your life easier:
>always lower your weapon unless you're in combat
>when jogging, right click once (or press C) to go into the slow jog mode, you will be able to walk a lot further but you're a bit slower (speed drops from 12 to 10km/h)
>don't sprint unless you have to (for example when evading fire)
>loadout weight is a massive factor, don't be stupid and carry 20 mags you're not going to use anyways, shoot for 30-35kg max
>terrain inclination is another big factor, try walking through valleys instead of on steep hillsides
>don't walk with your weapon at high ready unless you're clearing buildings (protip: pistol at high ready is far less exhausting)
>always kneel when shooting, avoid shooting from a standing position (unless you deploy your weapon), it reduces sway massively

Why?

Pub servers are trash and playing without mods is pretty bad, just as it's been since the OFP days. Modding it to hell and playing custom missions with a small group of dudes is great though.
>>
I don't mind the vehicular gameplay.
>inb4 its a simulation!
but the player movement is atrocious. It's a little better than Arma 2, but it's still clunky as hell.
No fluidity at all.

I understand they're trying to replicate realism but I believe Arma should just adopt the more arcade style of movement. I think Farcry 3 and 4 did a good job. bf3 was decent, but bf4 movement is far too fast, even in hardcore.
>>
I pirated 3 once since I couldn't afford it and it ran at like 5fps just in the menu and it put me in like an infinite loading screen when I actually tried to play. Was it just a shitty crack or is the game actually rediculous to run? I have a GTX960 and was able to play MGSV and the new Ghost Recon.
>>
>>33738590
It is plenty playable, recent updates have made big strides in performance.

A 960 is weak though and you will need to turn down lots of options. Your CPU is equally important though.

On a 1080 at 2ghz and 6700k at 4.5ghz I'm getting over 100 fps with settings cranked. AI taxes the CPU though and huge missions will bring it closer to 60.

You can set the performance, through Nvidia Control Panel, for ArmA 3 to GPU process only. A lot of my buddies who have 1080's tried it, and apparently it makes a world of difference. I tried it with my 680, and it died like a few days after. Idk if it's because of that, or was purely a coincidence.

I also uninstalled Uplay, and have heard doing that can royally fuck up your hardware because that program is basically a virus.

Operation Flashpoint was great. I think aiming sucks the most in ARMA3. In OFP you clicked and could shoot. Now it feels like an eternity before the weapon gets raised, aimed, zoomed, stabilized and fired.

You should be ok, high ping isn't as gamebreaking as with other games, some dudes who play with me live in the middle of nowhere with a constan 150-200 ping and do just fine.
However much of that also depends on what kind of games you join, many public servers (especially role playing ones) have shit tier encoding that will make the game slow as hell.

5.56mm isn't the same as .556 caliber
>>
>>33747530
I guess you could say that, yes. Communities with private servers and structured gameplay, however they usually play on predefined hours/days so it's not something you can just join for 30min of fast fun and then leave whenever you feel like it.
Still if you can be arsed to find a good one that fits you and show up at session its the best thing you can get from this game imho.
I would recommend you stay away from ultra milsim units that take themselves too seriously because it's gonna suck the fun out of the game.

Anyway there are also public servers that do things properly, there are some gamemodes that have been around for ages and i assume are now properly optimized. Still don't expect much from your teammates, sometimes you get a good bunch, some other times you get retarded kids screaming in the microphone. Haven't played on public servers in a while and i honestly don't miss it.

As someone who has wasted too many hours in DayzSA, the amount of zombies change vastly from version to version, in the past the AI was shit and they could easily locate you despite being in a house/ect. There was a period of time where the quantity of zombies was reduced as the AI during development was resource intensive, however that's changed recently. Most of the "Survival' aspects of the game are reasonable fleshed out now, so being cold and wet is something to be worried about, and living as a hermit on the woods is somewhat feasible.

Now, zombies are spawned in a town based on the player population in the vicinity, and they're density is based on the relative danger of going into the town, they also have a vision based agro system so things like crawling past a zombie or ducking around a corner to loose them are completely viable options. In addition to this, they're super sensitive to gunshots, this makes it so in some areas you don't want to shoot players lest you have to fight off a horde of 20+ zombies as they all start gravitating towards the sound of the shot. The game is still pretty uninteresting without others though, so I highly suggest you find a group, if you try to play the game like it has a ton of progression, you will have a shit time.

Is anyone working on a decent standalone M16A2 mod?

I'm talking the basic rifle that can be fitted with a grenade launcher and standard optics and suppressors

>Is anyone working on a decent standalone M16A2 mod?
Why? There's like 10 different autist tier mod packs that contain M16A2's already.
>>
>>33751115

Except they're usually either shitty ports or are part of some massive weapons pack.

I'm talking just a standalone M16A2 so that way units that don't want to waste a massive amount of filespace on redundant weapons (RHS: USAF already has most other modern US weapons covered) can use it.

The Hud is better than In Arma II, it just takes a little getting used to however I will agree it's a little on the minimalist side, and besides in the most recent update, shoot an obrez in Cherno, if your not sitting on stacks of ammo, your going to have a bad time.

god damnit I just wish they would make better campaigns.

single player is way less bullshit than online multiplayer ops.

Zeus was a fucking nice touch though, if you guys haven't played a Zeus game yet you should try it.

Apex expansion is wonderful, only like 8 missions though.

The CSAT SOF gear is bad-ass too. Can't say the .50bmg underslung is a good idea, but the thermal/NVG helmet with perfect field of view is great.

Main Mods are

ACE
ACRE
Plus a few I can't be assed to list, mostly more guns and such iirc

Mostly so we can scream at one another on the radio when somebody forgets to put their earplugs in and goes deaf.

Get Arma3, Apex expansion is also a must have. The other DLCs are dispensable.

As for the older titles, completely obsolete.

CUP on the workshop has all the islands and most of the assets ported to Arma3 for free.

Unless you really want to play the old campaigns and all the missions.

The DLCs are fucking expensive because of the Armaplebs playing too much KOTH, Wasteland and Life mods who just like to pay to win.

CUP, IFA3 and RHS "all available on workshop" would be the best most used mods.

BI has always given great free updated and advancements to the base game.
The DLCs are more like a donation to keep the development going. It isn't about the planes/helicopters/guns but about the free content update for the whole community i.e. firing from vehicles or new flight and damage models for airborne crafts.

DLC has been part of the process since OFP. Like the other dude said, you're not just paying for units and islands, you are helping fund continuous development of the engine, systems, etc.

Hell, $25 for 13 months worth of DLC is pretty good. New flight and damage models for airplanes to bring them on par with the advanced helicopter dynamics, full upgrade of sensor systems in the game so heat, visual, radar, IR all actually mean something. Tanks are on the list for full upgrades. Probably going to be tons of other good shit in the pipeline across those 4 DLCs.

I like their model. You get a continually developed base game with lots of care put into it. Beats the shit out of the new game every 2 years model that big FPS franchises are following, and even they have you pay $60 for the base, another $50 for DLC and "premium" features which amount to absolutely nothing.

Precisely. It's perhaps the least greedy form of development. People can't expect a game to be developed for 5-10 years on initial sales alone. If you like what they have to offer, you pony up and help keep them gainfully employed and busy.

Ohhh, VR VR.

I've got a Vive. As it stands you can use a program called Vorpx to render it in the headset which is kind of a ghetto solution but it's relatively convincing. You also use a third party program called opentrack to emulate track ir using the headset. Combined together you get a pretty decent VR experience, the only problem being performance.

For VR to be comfortable for long periods you need it rendering 90 frames per second in stereo. It's hard enough for Arma 3 to render 90 frames per second on a single monitor. There is some technology that helps make up for that (Asynchronous reprojection and the likes) which will take 45 frames per second and basically double each frame, but it's less than ideal.

The other issue is Vorpx can render VR/3D in different ways. The less convincing but still good looking way is Z3D which is less performance intensive as well. That's all that is supported right now for Arma.

It's a pretty crazy experience, but given the resolution of the headsets on the market currently, the performance issues and the ghetto third party software methods; it's unlikely Arma 3 will ever be a truly VR capable game.

Being 64bit has absolutely nothing to do with your framerate, and there are plenty benchmarks around to prove that mate.

Anyway the game runs like trash. No gonna change anytime soon until they multithread their engine, which won't ever come for Arma3.
>>
>>33761040
>Game runs like trash
>110 frames without AI
>50-70 frames with heavy amounts of AI and combat
It's not a light as fuck FPS game made on some cut and paste engine. It's a full fledged simulation, down to each individual bullet fired. Not many sims run great, go play DCS or FSX or any other complex flight only sim and they all struggle to run at extremely high frames because of the CPU load.

>64 has absolutely nothing to do with your framerate

Is that why I gained about 15% performance increase on the same exact hardware with the release of the updated exe/engine? The game has gained about 40% performance in the last couple years overall on my end.

The engine is definitely old and they need to rewrite one from scratch to take full advantage of modern hardware, but it's not running like trash currently.

What are your system specs?
