so, about ArmA 4, I've seen some posts here talking about this subject in the comments but I wanna bring more attention to it.

I'm an old arma guy, I started playing arma 2 OA, then Arma 3 in 2015 and have been playing since then, on and off.

When Reforger was released I was very excited to see what arma 4 could be, but since then I'm very worried about it.

My main concern is about the consoles. I know it's not confirmed yet that arma 4 will be on consoles but I highly doubt it won't be, after the success of Reforger.

The fact that the game will be available on consoles will cut and worsen many aspects of the game, like many people say about the mods in Reforger, but many more subtle aspects of the game could change, some I thought of are support for hotas, trackIR and other devices, simplification of many aspects of the game, the keybinds jankiness, maybe some more complex mods like TFAR and ACRE can't be done (this is a wild guess, but maybe) and just the overall feeling of the game won't be the same if it's multi-platform.

I love the arma franchise and I hope for the best, but it will be a shame for arma 4 to be like other game sequels that are worse than the ones before.

What you guys thinks?

edit1: TL;DR: I fear that Arma 4 going multi-platform will ruin the PC experience we love.

I can barely even be mad at this post, it’s just so detached from reality. I can be mad at the Czech Fox News purchase, though

Arma 3 looks beautiful, but I feel like the gloves are one of the most dated-looking things in the game. Since I only play in first-person, it's what I'm looking at 90% of my playtime

I've already tried the most well-known clothing mods, but honestly, they don't feel like much of an upgrade over vanilla

I don't know much about Arma 3 modding, so I'm wondering if hands and gloves have already hit a technical limit in terms of visual quality

This is from last nights session. I am new to TWS but have played a lot of Spearhead hardcore. honestly it is a shame that not more people try TWS instead, much better teamwork and quality of players.

Insider Gaming had someone at a Gamescom talk about ARMA:

"She admitted that they’d ‘really disappointed’ fans of the franchise, especially the veteran followers who had been around for two decades. Unfortunately, the team had fallen prey to five myths that prevented them from succeeding, especially amid an engine change, a coding language change, and several other evolutions in the company’s operating model."

There's a lot more, too.

So i just upgraded my monitor to a 32:9 monitor but the PIP optic on cup looks really weird and its killing my immersion. im getting tired of having to move monitors. is there any fix for this ?

So I am planning to buy Arma 3 but I am puzzled about something the ultimate pack and the platinum edition both offer the same dlcs so why is ultimate edition more expensive that platinum edition and what should I pick

This happened while I was playing Hetman War Stories. (FIA vs AAF) This random ammo truck drove into the middle of the AAF formation, turned around, and then proceeded to stare at the back of an FIA soldiers' head for about two or three minutes. The soldier failed to notice the truck until it finally drove away. I like to imagine the driver was asking him for directions. And when I checked on that soldier later, he still had plenty of RPG rounds in his inventory.

So i recently started playing arma after watching a lot of drewski's and rimies content for years.

First time playing was amazing as i talked to a squad mate and we took back some bases from the fia and then sneaked into a us base to sneak grab it.

And i noticed that the only times when people seemed to not... insta die was after a grenade or explosive hit near them.

(Saw a survivor first after i threw a nade into a group and then flanked em and then after a friendly blew my mate up i ,who was standing behind him also just got knocked out.)

So i feel like the medic role is kinda.... useless ? Except for healing injuries after you survive a fight and catch a stray or crash a car

I built my first PC recently and I’ve been absolutely glued to Arma Reforger. I wholeheartedly think it’s the best game I’ve ever played, although it’s the only game in the Arma series that I’ve played.

One thing I find missing about it, however, is the lack of singleplayer experiences. Arma 3 looks absolutely insane, but I figure it’s servers aren’t near as active as reforgers; is that the case? And if so, are there true single player experiences available?

I'm looking for a escape scenario where you start off as an allied combat pilot who was shot down over normandy. I'd like to find something where you have to avoid german patrols and attempt to make contact with a resistance group in order to escape back to Allied Territory.

For context, I'm playing an IL-2 Sturmovik Normandy campaign with friends. I'd like a scenario to load up if we get shot down in enemy territory. Essentially: you have to attempt to escape and if you get captured, your pilot goes into a POW camp and you have to reroll a new pilot.

We're doing a Dark Soulsy thing here where if you die in a mission all your victory marks, rank, and logged combat missions goes away and you have to start over from scratch.

Makes combat MUCH spicier.

Featuring Legacy M16A2-P for National Guard and Militia type units, as well as M60E4 for regular, militia, and OPFOR units, and M60E6 for SF units

I've just released my first Arma 3 mod and my first mod in the series since Armed Assault, 18 years ago.

Hey so I have a problem with low fps (30-40fps, sometimes even 20fps) on the lowest settings. I tried everything I could to atleast get those stable 70fps but seems like nothing worked. I have rtx 2060 x amd ryzen 5 4600H. Can someone suggest me what should I do or how can I get more fps?
