Obviously there is interest, and I know a lot of anons own arma 3, so it shouldn't be impossible to organise.

Apex is very nice, and adds quite a bit of new content, but there are mods which add maps too. Also, playing with anons makes up for any fun lost by not buying DLC.

Malden is a free DLC for all. If you want Apex only for the map then don't get it unless you have a hard-on for jungle terrain even then wait for a sale. While infantry battles are very fun on Tanoa, they completely fucked up the AI vehicle pathfinding. Their driving on the other vanilla maps can be considered elegant compared to this.
The VTOL is pretty nice though.

Everyone shut up, download ArmA 2, and play that.
They didn't fix a single thing in ArmA3, just ramped up the graphics and added tonns of DLC. Most vehicles are just reskins from different factions. The boats, the subs, the ATVs, it's retarded. They had a ton of completely new models made for that abortion DayZ, and now they won't even bother making new boats or getting every faction different diving gear, or artillery pieces.

That's not what I'm saying. The only issue, when compared to arma2, is the lack of content and the "muh futuristic" setting, but everything else is much better, fluid movement and shooting, less obtuse controls and interaction, and better animations. Granted the game runs like shit, and although everything I listed was improved it is by no means perfect, it's still arma, after all. But if you don't own either, buy arma 3 base over 2, and you'll be fine. Good price on it ATM too.

Never played it. But i have about 700 hours in arma.
It depends on what your doing, what modes your playing ect. You have an entire island to play on, tanks, planes, and automobiles to drives ect. There are mods to simulate military radio too.
Also, there is zeus, which is basically a player that acts as god, able to place any unit or object in the game, place objectives and triggers, artillery, change the time, weather, and any other parameter you can think of.
Some cookie cutter modes people play the most are invade and annex, which usually involve 70 people divided into squads getting airdropped near a randomly selected location on the island where an enemy base in generated, you and your team must then attack, take, and hold the area. This can involve players being pilots for helicopters or close air support jets and tanks, depending on how organized the server is. Another is exile, which is basically survival, and altis/stratis life, think clunky gtaV.
You can do some research and get a better picture, compared to other games, there is no other on the scale of arma. This isn't necessarily a good thing, but arma, for what it provides, is pretty good.

What >>14050573 said is pretty much true.
It depends on the group you play with. There are hardcore milsim serbs, where you will get yelled at by an ex/wannabe drill sergeant for stepping out of line. There are fun clans that run zombie campaigns and have regular bants on radio.
There are public roleplay/Altis Life servers with 119year olds calling your mother a fucking whore.
There are King of the Hill CoD esque servers, complete with the fags complaining about lag switches etc…
Honestly, you need to find a group of people you like to play with. Have a long think and come to a conclusion: Do you want to play serious, for fun, or serious fun?
ArmA is a sandbox first and foremost. It really depends on what you want it to be.
Join a group, play some with them, and if you don't you can leave at any point.
Pro Tip: Get a mic and a good headset. It's already hard to understand a word of what you are saying over shit VOIP, when there are bullets zipping around, artillery landing close by, a tank is revving it's engines next to you, command is yelling orders at you over comms, your MG is shouting that he is running low on ammo, and the AT team says that they just missed. Don't make things worse by using a shitty mic, or speaking with a mouth full of cocks. Clear words, short messages. Sometimes entire sentences are too much. Shouting "TANK, on that hill!" is x1000 times better than typing a 9001 word description of the tank you just spotted, including, but not limited to, it's camo pattern and the smell of it's engine exhaust.

They redid the inventory system in Arma 3, didn't exactly simplify it in fact they just took the way ACE 2 was doing inventories and combined CC and weight so it's less interesting than the ACE inventory system.
They ruined damage modeling in Arma 3 however. With each infantry requiring at least 2-5 shots to kill. This is retarded compared to Arma 2's one or two shots per kill.
Arma 2 is also more potato friendly and is on for around 5$ (Combined operations would be required) but is dead as far as multiplayer goes. I'd play the shit out of either if we could get at least 8 players going at a time.

How is it retarded?

The problem is bullet interaction in real life is that it's not as simple as
Leg shot - 20 damage
Body Shot - 40 damage

Part of that is that since the game is futuristic, it implies body armor has vastly improved in the 20 years between when it released and the future timedate. It's why the best armor in the game is Level V when currently we only have Level III. RHS implements this in their mod by nerfing all armor so that two to three shots will kill.

I know this is an Arma 3 thread but fuck it, where else am I gonna ask this. Should I get Arma 2? I bought Arma 3, been playing it and I like it. Reason I'm thinking about buying Arma 2 is that alot of people say Arma 2 is superior to Arma 3 in some aspects and is more stable.

More stable? Never heard that one before.
I find arma 2 to be much clunkier and less enjoyable than arma 3, although some people prefer one to the other. All content in 2 can be ported over through mods, and there are mods to fix some percieved issues (body armor being too strong in 3 is one that comes to mind).

Unless you have friends to play it with, no. The only thing active for multiplayer in Arma 2 right now is a Russian ACE server (you've gotta know Russian, bub.), A couple Wasteland servers (Utes and chernarus), two or three "Life" servers and DayZ. Arma 2 has shit for singleplayer. You could drop DAC in it and generate yourself some missions, or search around for missions to play (CWR2 was mentioned in this thread, it has some decent singleplayer) but overall Arma 3 has more options, and CUP/RHS basically solve the setting/theme issue it had when it first came out. As far as stability goes, whoever told you that Arma 2 is more "stable" must be smoking crack. I.E: just starting the game up through steam causes it to crash it out 75% of the time, and once you do get it to run, joining a multiplayer game again, crashes the game to reopen it for battleeye. You need a dedicated third party launcher to actually run the game properly. Whereas in Arma 3, vanilla crashes are extremely rare, I've only ever seen crashes with the IFA3-lite mod. Maybe you mean it's less demanding so potatoes can run it?
Most of the complaints about arma 3 came when it just came out. The single-button grenade throws (fixed with ace3 completely, and limited in speed by a patch) The arcadey movement (fixed in a stamina patch) and the theme (CUP, RHS etc. solve this) Having said all that, arma 2 still has some aspects of it that make it fun, SLX mod for starters, no shitty BF2 ragdolls, gear management that's a bit smoother, AI being pretty much the same but when modded is superior to Arma 3

Persistent games allow people to hop on and and have shit to do even when they're alone.

DUWS would be good, I'd prefer just running the vanilla with RHS replacement running for CSAT and NATO. OR we could go with CUP which is arguably more balanced but less sexy. If we're going Liberation I'd want to do Malden, smaller maps means more frames and less time pissing around driving into combat.

Status update from the host, the most basic server setup should be complete. From here we have a few options we can go ahead and run with, depending on how you guys feel tonight.
1. Vanilla - We use the server, as configured, to play a few missions on a totally vanilla configuration. We'll go ahead, queue up for a cooperative mission, and get into the grit. This does mean you will have to play without mods however.
2. Wait for Mods - We determine what mods the thread wants, add them to the server, and then play whatever missions work well with those mods. I will need a bit of time to let the dust settle on the modification discussion, propose mod lists, and then once we have some sort of consensus add them to the server along with their keys. It'll take a little longer, but we'll be able to play with the modifications that people want and not just the base installation of ARMA 3.
3. Training - Since this is a new unit and there's a lot of new people, we should probably get to know each other, determine how well everyone knows the game, and what we need to teach or improve on as a unit. With this option, I would set up a bare bones Zeus Mission, launch it with some open slots, and assign more senior unit members to do a review of ARMA's team tactics and training in vanilla.
My long term objective of Ouroboros Division is to have a semi-realistic group for weekly missions tied into an overarching campaign. For off-days, I want to permit anyone in the unit who wants to run a mission to request Zeus via Steam and make a thread for their own mission. The campaign missions would have a a basic expectation of realism, but off-days stuff would be more loosely governed.
Hope this all sounds good.

No, they put it on hold until Alpha was released, the latest version they have is from May of 2017. ACRE is more autistic while TFR is more for casuals, these are the things that should be considered when choosing which to use.

>>14067216
It has both of those, it also has autistic 3D buttons on each radio. If you recall from Arma2, every radio was a static image that you then clicked the knobs to change the frequencies, in Arma 3 each is a 3D object that has animations. I call it autistic because 90% of people don't give a shit about radios enough to want to fiddle with them in a video game. TFR is much more "casual" in the sense that it doesn't simulate radios to the same level as ACRE, and I think in this case it'd be a better option to minimize the learning curve.

They blew it when they released a humanitarian DLC WITHOUT advanced medical system. It could have been great, instead they just played around with mines and a fictional aid team.
Instead they should have cooperated with the red cross itself, hell they already had a foot in the door with them because half of the money from that stupid carts DLC Went to the czech red cross.

BORDER PATROL
I'll make a mission, probably malden, maybe stratis (or tajikstan if we are adding maps)
I'll pick a point on the island, maybe down the middle, or somewhere with less width. We can play with zeus, or I can work some magic with EDEN and make it self sufficient (if it doesn't already exist). AI (Brown people, browns in trucks, trucks, ect. and all of these may or may not be armed) will attempt to cross the "border". For every invader you stop, a reward will be granted (vehicle, weapons, ammo), for every that crosses, you will be punished (Terrorists attack, stolen vehicle, ammo, weapons).

He's paying the bills, he can write up all the shit he wants, at the end of the day it will be anons who will make up those playing on the server, and that will be reflected in how we play, no need to worry about steam groups, training, "overarching campaigns" or anything else, those who want to abide by them can, but nothing will stop you from playing however you want.

My problem is the AI can't be made to act any sort of realistically. (ZEUS is a good start, where you can have a human sit and manually control them the whole time a la RTS) Suppressing fire rarely is effective against them, short of having them just lie prone and stare at where they're getting shot from. AI act like they're braindead when attacking and stare at random things while firing in odd burst patterns *near* enemies multiple times until RNG decides it's time for them to land that kill shot.
If BIS would do some honest to god work on making a more efficient and intelligent AI for their soldiers the game could really be something special. As it stands we have the terrible AI offloading system, single thread server program, and headless clients as a "fix" that's something that should have been implemented as a temp fix half a decade ago.

Yeah that pissed me off when Arma 3 came out of (((early access))). I was expecting so many more vehicles and guns than the shit that was featured. No bloody variety at all! Needless to say, the vehicles and guns from the DLC packs should have been in the base game from the start.
The only reason why I forked out the dosh for the DLC was because the devs keep releasing the free platform updates like bipods, ffv, vehicle handling etc alongside the DLC releases. Should have been in the game on release to be honest, but whatever at least they eventually added it

a67b66 No.14082843

If you want fishgun, you'll have to do CUP.
RHS has the problem of most of its guns being variations of the same thing, for the Russian guns, it's just got 30-40 different versions of the AK, with little variation, as well as a few other guns like the SVD, and the US has like 20 different versions of the M4 and a few other guns. CUP has a much wider variety of weapons, and not as many guns cluttering the weapons list since it doesn't have the "30+ versions of the same gun" that RHS has. The same applies to vehicles, with the added issue of RHS Russian vehicle optics being shit for nearly every vehicle. CUP also has stuff that fills roles that RHS doesn't, like the Striker that has a mortar in it.
Personally I'm sick of RHS since it gets used for every group thing I've done with /v/.

Calm down, everything will get worked out, new servers are a little messy sometimes.

I've already planned out the general theme of the campaign and the general layout of the first missions. I just have to commit them to a proper mission file. A thread will announce when things are underway proper.

The server is back up. I moved things around a little bit and hooked it up to a systemd unit so it'll be easier to start and stop. This means when the server undergoes a full reboot, the server will go up automatically.
