Can we talk about arma
Can my 750ti run it?
shit game for beta nerds that are to weak and pathetic to join the army
satisfied?
I'd like to play it again, after having invested so much time in A2 and again in A3, but I just can't find the right fucking group. Everyone is either asking me to salute some 13 year old when I join the server and go through training over basic shit I've known for years, or they're spouting fucking memes and crashing the transports while we do nothing but play Insurgency or Patrol Ops.
>>323301637
I wuz in the army. Can I play?
>>323301637
My country doesn't have an army...
>>323301491
why not just play Insurgency?
>>323301820
Same problem here. It's like a taboo in the arma community to just want to shoot shit.
>>323301605
My GTX 580 can run it.
>>323301491
DayZ was the best thing to ever happen to the Arma series.
>>323302831
With all the shitters who can't aim a gun? Yeah it was fun for a week or two. Then I got back to playing the base game with my bros.
>>323302771
Pretty much. There's just no sweet spot, and if there is, I just haven't found it yet.
>>323302918
That clipping hurts my eyes. And the AK is unrealistically big.
>>323301820
>>323302771
same. /a3g/ was fine but then they stopped euroops.
>>323303226
/a3g/ it just needs to be rebooted again
Taking shots taking shots!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOZKtlRlZiQ
>>323303357
>/a3g/ was fine
>>323302708
why do you play insurgency? Why not play splatoon
>>323302831
It's nice. BI got some more money but they also demonstrated to be a strong company and they continued pushing out the core game unchanged by the popularity of the casual fanbase.
If anything a3 is more complex.
>>323301605
Arma doesnt use your gpu
>>323303439
it was pretty okay.
I ignored the 4chan drama bit
I only turned up for ops almost daily
I filled my role.
It's people like you who know about all the drama and who said what when where to who, who are the real problem.
the operator/"just whatever we're doing it to relax" balance was really good.
>>323301605
Who cares. I ran it on 570. The real load goes all onto your CPU. Think of arma as if it's dorf.
>>323301820
I just. Can't find anything better to do that's just pick up and play for a group of about 5 or 6 of us. It's tough slogging through the shit.
>>323303508
I have an i3 2120 3.30ghz
>>323303472
If only BIS invested there money into making their game run well, it's still a critical failure to offload graphics onto the cpu i'm willing to bet my paycheck that still won't change with ArmA 4.
>>323304043
The engine they're making for DayZ is supposed to do that, and they will most definitely be using that engine for ArmA 4.
>>323304212
I won't hold my breath.
>>323303624
I did the same shit with FFAAA a long, long time ago when they recruited on /v/ all the time. Despite the interpersonal drama, it was a fun group, for a little while at least.
>>323304043
Game runs pretty well considering what it manages to do with all the complex calculations, pmuch biggest map in gaming, very complex AI and alife, shitload of physics and collision etc.
Sure it's not perfect but if you're gonna complain about that son you don't like the game that much anyway. But yeah, a new engine would be nice, finally.
>>323304212
Arma 4 will use and all new engine, DayZ is being 'made'(fucking kek) with an updated version of arma #'s because its already a year+ behind release and they don't care anymore.
I joined the greek resistance
Shit game.
Rather play SQUAD.
>>323304527
I complain about it because it's a nibbling problem for almost a decade. It prevents me from playing every release because I won't sink money into an i7 for one single game.
>>323304540
Why do you think BI cares about one of their products and not the other? They're a good company, they just didn't have enough money to acquire/make a new engine until DayZ released and brought in 100 mil or whatever it was. The Enfusion engine is why DayZ's development is taking so long, and also why ArmA 4 hasn't been announced yet.
group drama is cancer and autistic
I played Wasteland for like 300 hours and DayZ mod for 200 hours, good game.
>>323305179
I think small bouts of it is healthy. When you play with the same folks over and over again, some things might agitate you, and it's good to clear the air. It also lets you kick out the fucks who cause problems all the time.
>>323304880
I've ran A2 through a3 on an OC i5 2500k.
I don't think much can be done. It's like flight sims, a niche hobby so it's valid to expect that the few who actually play it would have no problem sinking some bux into a decent processor.
I mean cpu upgrade is way cheaper than joystick/pedals/trackIR
And arma 3 is not marketed towards kids.
I mean I was a kid when I started out with ofp but that's besides the point
I wonder if arma is really a bad game, or if the collective autism of /v/ just likes to judge a game based on engines.
>>323305551
It's pretty mediocre in every way. There's just nothing else like it.
someone tldr the autism between broma and /a3g/ for me please
>>323301820
I wish there was more people playing insurgency in Arma 3. I´m so sick of Insurgency on Altis right now.
Any upcoming PS4 release?>inb4 never ever
>>323305660
It's the same reddit vs. /v/ shit.
>>323305836
If you try playing with a controller, you're still missing key things you need to be able to do. There's just too many controls to translate it towards the PS4.
>>323306112
I'm left-handed and I have to remap most keys of very new game I play.
This is one of the big reasons I stopped trying to play arma.
>>323306112
That's sounds like never ever.
Thanks, though.
>>323301637
but anon i was in the army
>>323306226
Left-hander here, have you tried just adapting to it? I've hardly ever had to remap keys even for ArmA.
>>323306474
I can't use mouse with my right
>>323305551
Its not bad, but like the other guy said- mediocre. It tries to accomplish so much (and it does, and with mods it does even more), but at the end of the day it's such a finicky game that you'll spend almost as much time fixing files and tweaking settings as you will just playing it. I guess it's like the focus was on features, but not on making the core of the game function 100% properly before adding in all the other shit.
That being said, I still really enjoy it, but it does piss me off a lot of times. And I can never join mp games for some reason, so that obviously is a major strike against it.
am i just fucking retarded because i cant seem to customize ARMA3 to be optimized on my PC?
GTX 960, 4.1 processor with 8x cores, 16GB Ram, not an insane build by any means but I really feel like it shouldn't be crazy difficult to break 35 fps on medium settings. ive gone through tons of forums and applied every optimization change no matter how minor and i still cant get it to run even half decent. the MP is legit fun, but playing with such a low FPS almost makes it not worth it.
>>323307072
>I can never join MP games
^Right here. A lot of times when you load up the server list you'll get kicked out of the first four or five you try to join because the server requires people to have a membership on whatever website is hosting it. Super annoying, and the ARMA community is seriously garbage. One of the more autistic/edgelord communities out there.
>>323307080
What server/gamemode are you playing on?
>>323307080
Welcome to arma.
>>323307401
I really don't stick to one, and I've been trying a lot out to see which one works best. the arma life servers are honestly the worse, i never go near those. King of the Hill and Wasteland seem to be better if im in a decent server, but still have a tendency to get choppy.
>>323307847
King of the hill kills my fps too. For wasteland i play on Sa-matra ones. I can easy get 50-60fps on those.
Life mods are smooth only after restart. Takes like 1 hour for it clutter up.
I dont know how many thousand of hours I spent in the editor of OF / Arma
No multiplayer, no campaign, just the editor creating my own battles. Pretty autistic I know sempais
>>323308116
I like to do that on terrains that nobody plays anymore.
>>323308116
I know the feeling bro. I'm doing that right now.
>>323306286
>>323306547
It's not that difficult, Anon. Get yourself set up so you can use infantry, and then from that move on to doing vehicle stuff. I bet rebinding everything is exhausting, and I get that.
>>323308529
What mods do you have anon? I could go for some good ol' AI battles with neat equipment.
>>323307362
Yep that's what happens. It makes me mad, though, because A2 provided me with some of the coolest mp experiences I've ever had in a game. I was thinking A3 would be better, especially now that ACE is out, but instead barely any servers play it and I can never get into them anyway.
The community is shit, I would agree. You seem to either get Altis life players who just fuck around, or super serious dickheads that make it no fun. The only servers I can get into with any consistency seem to be KotH and they are fun, but damn do the people usually suck.
I don't mind teamwork and tactics and all that, but ultimately I'm just there to have fun doing missions and stuff and for some reason A3 is very disappointing in that regard. I just want my Fallujah server back.
>>323308976
At least I have found a general binding for FPS's
8456 on numpad replacing WASD, 7 to reload, PGDOWN to Use, Enter to crouch, + to go prone, arrow left to lean left, right to lean right, down to jump
I'm very comfortable with it in Red Orchestra
>>323309258
Arma 3 is pretty "dead" when it comes to that sadly. Like 1 insurgency server with plenty of people on. Rest is just patrol ops/invade & annex on fucking Altis.
for a good arma time add http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197975631593/
i collect virgins and familymenadd me up losers
>>323309346
That doesn't sound too bad. If your control scheme works for RO, it's just a few more buttons for Arma. Grenade Button, stance mod, etc. The keybindings may look intimidating, but they aren't actually that bad.
>>323309224
I'm using http://www.rhsmods.org/ for the american and russian stuff.
On the steam marketplace I'm subscribed to these mods:

It doesn't affect how it looks, but I also have these two installed when I play:

>>323308050
AYY
>>323309437
Worst part is, it doesn't seem like A2 is active anymore. So there's nothing to really fall back on. PR is fun, but its not as exciting as Arma and I got locked out of my account anyway. Squad could be promising, but it'll be a few years before it really blossoms, I think. RO2 is essentially dead, and insurgency is frustratingly fast paced to me and the community is either dead quiet or retarded.
>>323309778
Shit. I'd play too, but I have AiA instead of CUP. It'd be a big problem if we tried to play the old A2 shit.
>>323309717
There is a grenade button in RO2 too but I couldn't find a key that would let me throw it while running and aiming at the place so I just select it from inventory before throwing
>>323309778
>workshop ace
you know those compatibility files wont work that way right?
I miss CHKilroy and Beagle. Where'd they go?

>>323301605
ran it on my 750ti just fine on high
It can even do 30ish on Ultra if you don't care about FPS
>>323309915
Dont know if you enjoyed Takistan insurgency back A2, but there is still one server alive and well
http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/5.9.23.136:2302/
Plenty of people each day, at like 2-5 a clock.
>>323309985
The RO2 grenade button is garbage. I never use it. Especially coming from RO1. I miss the bayonet on/off button.
>>323309941
I'm just tinkering around. I sometimes make missions with all this content. I'm not sure if CUPS and AiA will conflict, I haven't test it. I make some simple missions with these content, I'll post them here if feel like publishing them. I usually make them for groups of like 4 or 5 guys.
>>323310036
I don't know what compatibility files are.
>>323310083
This is awesome, thanks anon. I'll download and try it out.
>>323310239
Yeah it's shitty having bayonet on at all times
I tried the Sound Mutator offline with bots today and it was so good, vanilla guns feel and sound like toys in comparison, and engineers with 15KGs of explosives on their backs finally run a bit slower than a Stoßtrupp with a single MP40 and a grenade.
>>323310239
I miss not having to grind and unlock simple things like bayonets.
>>323309821
ah gahd stahp
>>323310381
@ace\optionals
take a look in there, also RTFM pal
>>323310039
Ruki Vverh in that gif?
>>323310381
AiA is discontinued as far as i know. Cups should be the only thing people would have to download now, as they just released it.
I play on wasteland maps exclusively
>>323301637
But it's the weak beta nerds that can't succeed in the real world that join the army, anon
Let us hold a moment of silence for the only arma group that didn't ask you to salute to some 13 year old and have basic training nor only played insurgency and patrol ops
RIP Farooq
RIP Probe
RIP Duck
RIP Cephei
RIPCrusty
>>323310889
the cancer that killed arma
>>323310235
Thanks man, I'll check it out!
>>323310616
Too bad that mutator never caught on. The game would have a renewed life and be pretty intense.
>>323310948
Cephei was a massive power hungry faggot and Probe was a redditor that shouldn't have ever been an admin.
>>323310989
No problem. The server runs Takistan 24/7, so hope you like that map. The map switches faction every time the mission is complet, so you get a chance to play with every weapon.
>Arma 3 doesn't use your GPU
How? And why?
>>323310681
Ok dude
>>323311161
He is sort of talking out of his asshole.

A3G got memed on so hard for memeing too hard during a mission

it's unoptimized

the coms are there and everyone almost know what they are doing
we dont do the the whole "yes sir" routine but instead focus on what matters such as being there and wooping ass

An API made out of duct tape and paperclips.

Because the core engine is still the same code Marek and Ondrej wrote back in 1997.

Arma is dead
Squad under 40 buckaroos when?
Arma 3 was a huge disappointment for me and compared to the other games I've barely even touched it.
I bet I had a billion hours in OFP.
>>323312945
Every pic I see of players aiming their weapon in Arma, the character isn't even looking at the sights, but clearly the weapon itself
This game is shit
>>323302771
>>323301820
You guys might want to try United Operations. It's pretty good.
Do we think DX12 introduced in the upcoming Tanoa expansion will solve some of the performance issues the game is suffering?
>>323313281
No.
I got it during the steam sale on some recommendations, played a bit, and am not really sure what the fucking point of it is. It seems like all I do in whatever server I join is walk/run to a place that seems to be having some sort of firefight. And then when I get there it's either done or it's just like two people. What is the appeal of this?

educate yourself.
>>323301605
You can run it on a fucking HD 4550, it's all about that CPU.
>>323313437
its the community dude
public play in arma 3 is shit and was better in 2
you hook up with a bunch of friends or join a group
if you arent doing these then you are doing it wrong
>>323305523
>>323310948
/a3g/ is dead because they didn't kick out the fucks who caused problems.
Fuck Duck, Probe, and Cephei and you too you shitter.
>>323313849
We don't kick people out
We bully them.
It does, just very little, all the leg work is done by your CPU.

It's worth it, the community isn't autistically tacticool. It has a nice balance, no training required
