ToastyPotato posted:Any in depth info on the mission editor? Will it be easier than previous installments? Or do we still have to know scripting and crap? Easier? It's already the easiest mission editor I've personally ever used. I was able to use it when I was 11 in the OFP days.

The Hatchback sport is loving hilarious. I drove it down the airstrip and it got 200 mp/h by the time the runway ended. That dinky little Honda Fit looking thing can lay down some serious rubber without even losing any fuel. I felt like I was playing Top Gear: The Altis Special. Edit: Wait wait wait. Today's patch was all the release content? Are you loving serious?

Vadoc posted:Isn't this a future where NATO and Western nations are being poor compared to the upsurge of the other guys and were pulling their forces back, decommissioning the bases on the islands? No jets because they're not in the operating theater. Sounds like they're weaseling out of making jets. There isn't a single carrier in the entire Med? Iran didn't deploy any air assets in Anatolia? It's not like they've never made jets before.

The Bananana posted:You bet your rear end. It's actually pretty cool to paint a target, and call in a buzzard pilot for a good old fashioned weenie roast out of what used to be your target. You can paint anything, men, tanks, radiotowers, even terrain, and better yet, released bombs continue to aim for the laser, so you can follow moving targets, and still nail 'em. Any kind of CCIP system that would allow you to drop bombs without pretending you're flying a Stuka is however still not in the loving game.

I found out that cars in Arma 3 have a handbrake. Naturally the second I find this I'm in the sport hatchback drifting around corners. This actually would make a pretty serviceable rally or toge game actually. I even made a little AAA system where you can call a repair truck when you inevitably run wide and kill your car on a rock.

What's with all the weird cartridges in the new (and original) guns in 3? Why are they using .338 Lapua in a machine gun? You would think armies in a world in a global crisis that almost certainly has to do with resources would continue to use ammo they already massive stockpiles of like 7.62

If I can digress to Arma 2 for a second. What the hell was BIS's problem with the Czech Army DLC? I played with the CZ-75s, and they all sound different despite firing the same ammunition. The most egregious thing of all is that the CZ-75 compact uses the same sound as the AKM! You would think they would have some kind of pride in their work given that it's their own country's army and equipment.

I've been making missions in the editor since the OFP days. The Eden editor is like a dream. You can get everything just right without all the trial and error. I can put people on roofs without having setpos in the clipboard. I can stock a helicopter by clicking and dragging instead of using group arrays.

Doctor Butts posted:Also, loadouts inside the editor. That was awesome when I discovered it. Oh my God the loadout editor. No more spawning something close to what I want and then going through ammo boxes to play with the guns. Everything is right there and I can play pretty pretty princess with my soldier. They seriously knocked it out of the park with the Eden editor, just like they did with the 2D editor 15 years ago. As for helicopters dumping guys off, find the helipad invisible object in the editor and plop it where you want it to land if you haven't already.

I kind of wish tanks was coming out before jets, as they're closer to the core infantry game. Then again jets are probably closer to reach and they want to bring them in closer to the game since now they're kind of an afterthought to most scenarios.

Yeah it doesn't help that the maps as big as they are are still small enough to be completely dominated by just one modern fighter jet. Realistically it would be so bristling with SAMs (that also can dominate the airspace from just one location) and AAA that nobody would be flying. Speaking of jets. I remember as a kid playing Novalogic games how cool it would be to also play as the pilot once you ejected and hit the ground. I just realized my wish had been granted a long ago already, OFP/Arma is that game

How the heck do you land a VTOL? I understand helicopters, but I keep trading speed for altitude and altitude for speed, it's very hard to begin a proper descent. It doesn't help the CSAT version in the showcase can really haul rear end.

JerikTelorian posted:So it looks like ARMA3: Orange has been officially named and released. "Laws of War", which focuses on a humanitarian faction. Also, kinda jarringly, cluster bombs and minefields. That's really cool and a fresh perspective. Most devs would probably be like "here's some more hardware or uniforms".

Knobb Manwich posted:Laws of War is legitimately good too. It's the only campaign I've finished since OFP Resistance. It sure is. They've come a long way. UXO is loving annoying, and that's probably the point. I was in the editor and had planes just carpeting a city with cluster bombs. When I moved in I didn't get not get a block into the city before I got my whole squad killed by a bomblet. Of course in real life nobody is dropping dozens of them in a half hour on one spot and then is stupid enough to wander right in, but still.

Nenonen posted:As someone who spent endless hours playing Operation Flashpoint, I would really love to go back to Everon where all buildings are enterable and terrain has more definition. And a new engine of course. It's a glorified tech demo today on release. I imagine it'll become more fleshed out by the year's end. Also this is the new engine  . Looking forward to trying it eventually. I too have fond memories of Everon and I still remember the spots I used to make camps at in the OFP editor. No enemies, just chilling around a fire in the woods.

Watched someone dick around with Reforger on Twitch. I'm honestly impressed. The gunplay still has the Arma 'feel' to it, I can tell that it's there, but the movement and animations look much much better than I ever expected and the interiors of buildings actually kinda work and there's stuff in there now! You can even flush toilets! I'm looking forward to seeing that interaction system more fleshed out and modded up, think of ACE medical or aircraft If this is what they're building Arma 4 out of, that's gonna be the game I upgrade my graphics card for and look forward too. It really looks next level, even compared to Arma 3 which is still no slouch. Gabrielite posted:Since it hasn't been posted yet, Dslyexci posted a video going over many of the changes of Reforger vs the previous Arma series and going over what he'd like to see in the future. I'd encourage people on the fence to watch it, it's pretty thorough. (37 min long) God drat, that guy has been around since the OFP days. I remember using his mods, some of which were arguably essential. Antigravitas posted:It seems to be a bit too planned to be just a quick cash grab. I think they are just not entirely confident in their entire platform that they need to be in place if they want to do a big Arma 4 release. They've changed everything about the game's underpinning, so it makes sense to release a smaller "vertical slice" type thing Yeah they've done this with the expressed intent of letting modders get used to the new engine and start building poo poo now. As for the 30 buck price point, if it's too steep it'll surely go on sale. This is a chance to support the devs and for them to gauge interest.

Oysters Autobio posted:Does Stormworks fit the bill at all for a SAR game, albeit without combat? I've not had a chance to try it and seems pretty indepth for the minecrafty construction part, but curious to know if there's actual enough content (i.e. things "to do" with the stuff you build). I’ve played quite a bit of it. You can download a bunch of prefab stuff from the workshop, which can be fairly high quality and go into all kinds of niche reproductions. The SAR gameplay is there kinda but it’s not very fleshed out and doesn’t work that great. They’ve been focusing on oil rig stuff lately and that may come with some more SAR events but I haven’t tried that part. Npcs won’t get in a harness you need to cram them in while say your helicopter is still flying if it has an autopilot that works, MP is available but I’ve never used it. It’s fun but very much a make your own fun game.

The Morse code in the trailer refers to operation cobra, which started at the end of July 1944. So most likely coming soon. I like that these exist but I was kinda underwhelmed with Prairie Fire, since I play single player and there isn’t much to do other than bash the assets together in the editor like Gi joes.
