>>1561874Here's a clip I have of that map you posted as the OPhttps://streamable.com/8mvlc0I actually got creeped out with how I saw the white dress out of the corner of my eye as we set up. Good level design
How is Iron Front ? (since mp is fucking dead for SP) https://store.steampowered.com/app/91330/Iron_Front_Digital_War_Edition/
>>1561874so I've spent a lot of time playing insurgency sandstorm and have spent stupid amounts of time making character models in-game with cosmetics and stuffwould be curious to hear some feedback from anons ITTThis one's my go-to, going for a riot police vibe
>>1562004this one's my current favourite to run
>>1562008and finally this guy, where I'm just going for a metal gear / PMC look
>>1562004Im more of a ghillie suit or militia type shit (also you couldv just pasted all those 3 in paint no need to post it 3times)
sovl
God damn, bros. I finally picked up Squad and am having a blast. Any tips for a newbie? Been doing medic fairly well and rifleman, but haven't branched out to other kits yet.I'm relatively familiar with some of the systems/need for map awareness thanks to Hell Let Loose.Eventually, like in Hell Let Loose, I'd like to main squad lead because half of the people who pick it are retarded
>>1562071It was fun but the game is too janky (i also liked how parts of vehs fall off if shot) also i crashed at a tree with a plane and didnt even explode (at low speed)
Squad is one of the only games I play.
ATTENTION ARMA AUTISTSI've decided I'm going allow all two of you filthy animals to ruin my shitty dedicated stasi server occasionally. I'm thinking we'll probably just schedule Fridays and/or Saturdays or something depending on circumstances (I'm using the term "schedule" loosely, no dedicated timeframe or rules or anything). I use this server for playing with irl friends too so I guess I'll just change the password depending on the day's audience. It would be better if we nail down a semi-regular and consistent schedule for that reason. Or maybe I'll just let worlds collide. I dunno, we'll have to figure it out.I figure we'll just use Discord for voice comms,no TFAR. Will not use the discord for anything else, so no anime tranny discord faggotry behind the scenes of the /vm/ thread. Trying to not use ACE but if I'm bullied hard enough I could be convinced to deal with ace no medical. I'm too lazy to deal with server mod keys so it'll be up to you to make sure you have the correct mods loaded - I'll provide a preset you can download and import. Because the server will not check for correct mods, it's up to you to not be a faggot and not fuck it up, and not be a cheater. Or you can cheat if you want to I guess, I don't really care just don't be gay about it. Please provide comments, thoughts, and/or suggestions on anything, such as what map, mods, factions, scheduling, or anything else
>>1562248>Discord for voice commsWhats up with retards just not using arma3 voice channel shit ? Like what its perfecly goodAlso all the shit and modlist you can just post and discuss here no need for discord
>>1562263It didn't even occur to me to use the built-in voice comms because literally no one ever uses it. We can do that.I just figured discord would be the easiest place to organize the information. But we can also just use the thread. This is why I asked, so thanks
>>1562271No problem and know your place scrub. Also you can already post the modlist since it willt ake fucking ages to download game+dlc and + all the mods you might be using (this is not a suggestion but an order)
>>1562271>because literally no one ever uses itThat's why I play squad, everyone uses it.
>>1562344If by "everyone" you mean 3sq in the team and few regs maybe then sure all others are mindless drones heading to slaughter
>>1562351Not sure if you're a yevro, but on US servers it's pretty much everyone using local and squad comms.
>>1562248>>1562335SERVER UP for now, probably will be for the rest of the weekend.MOD LIST: https://pastebin.com/wvpKCw3Xdownload this html and import into your arma 3 launcherfeel free to add whatever other client side mods you want because I can't stop youWe're going to keep it basic for the first run - CUP mods on Chernarus. Russian occupiers vs NATO invaders. No rival rebelsServer Name: [CWC] The TRUE and HONEST CWCVille Antistasi Server|NO JERKOPSPassword: ChrisChanSonichu
>>1562415See ya soon bro
>>1562415>>1562248There is no server membership, anyone can be commander, anyone possesses the ability to completely sabotage the saveWhoever is commander must manually do garbage collection and save progressServer is scheduled to restart every three hours as long as no players are online. So if it has been awhile and the server is running like ass and someone already did garbage collection and I'm not around to manually restart it, then everyone just needs to leave and wait a few minutes then come back.There is no teamkill punish and no afk timerNormal Antistasi win condition (all military bases and airbases and 50% of population)Normal Loss condition (More than 1/3 of the population has been murdered)If the game hasn't loaded and says "waiting for admin" just wait 60 seconds and it should autoload the save>>1562435see you in 16 hours
Why is no one talking about Delta Force⁈Having a great time playing; it's like a better version of Tarkov with a huge Battlefield mode.Why is no one talking about it/streaming it?
>>1562459Since its free sell it to me. (not interested into yet another tarkovshit)
>>1562477Felt like when I first started playing Planeside 2: huge battles with shit blowing up all around you, rezzing people and pushing points. There's some criticisms, like I think the maps take too long in Warfare and there's probably cheaters (I can't tell anymore if people are just autistic or aimbotting anymore). But I'm having fun in a multiplayer FPS that I haven't had in a long time. Pretty happy too considering that PoE 2 was kinda a let down.
>>1562477also, the game just came out last month and I don't think it's caught on yet on twitch.you'll be ahead of the curve.
>>1562121sure here are some tips:-anyone who builds a hab directly on the point is a noob-try to avoid running in a direct line away from your hab to not lead enemies toward it-laying down in a good spot is better than rushing until you see someone especially with the new aim system-suppressing can save your entire squad by reducing their accuracy, spray and pray if you dont know where youre getting picked off from then duck down, preferably a bit away from your squad-rally points are underrated ask your squad leader for one sometimes-if you try the sniper or marksman class make sure you know how to zero and use the map markers for judging ranges
>>1561874anyone played Thunder Tier One?looks decent, the negative reviews come from devs abandoning the game but it's still online and playablehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/377300/Thunder_Tier_One/
>>1562986It was fun. Very short, and its kind of gay how short the combat ranges are. But thats just part of the style.Worth it on sale for sure. PvP was really fun but I am sure its fucking dead now
>>1562986lmao look at steamcharts hitting 3 players average in a month and there is your answer
>squad leader keeps calling enemies "infiltry"
>>1562459delta force is quite fun, the vehicle gameplay is satisfying and it's similar to battlefield, better than 2042 imo. if u want we can play together anon
>600m headshot in squadoh yeah that got me feelin good, enemy squad leader pulled out his binoculars looking for habs I guess and I popped him
>>1562986Like the other anon said, very short. Pretty fun if you're playing with friends, AI companions are retarded half of the time. We finished the campaign and fucked around in MP, which is now dead. Around 10-15 hours of content.
I enjoy Squad
>most insurgency servers on squad are full>see ARAB insurgency modded server frequently at 90-95/100>everyone yelling "allahu akbar"peak immersion
>>1562446Anon my son you fucked me in the ASS hard i download all the mods then as i was prepping to join it appears map mods WERENT in the thing so now i have to wait more.....>>1562530>>1563409Fuck it ask your boss faor a raise i will download the game
>>1561891Bwo your anti-flash goggles?
>>1563842they should have been, isn't it just CUP terrains, cup terrains 2.0, and interiors for CUP? also sorry I had to drive out of town today, but lucky for you I brought my desktop pc with me
>>1564025I think I was using gas or stingers but my team had flashes and I didnt expect it
>>1564228Since you can see the server when it is most active ? (im from yrope) since solo it becomes rather hard for me (i hate controlling ai)
>>1564269literally no one has actually hopped on lol. Though I'd imagine if we get a following it'll be Friday and Saturday evenings eastern time. So now-ish.
>>1564286I did child i played for like an hour maybe less idk
>>1562781Thanks king. Why the fuck do most squad leaders in the squads that I've been in not use rallies?
>>1564377No clue but they're a super strong part of the game that are very under used. A rally point away from the hab can mean you retake the base if falls under enemy control. Or can be an easy way to set up a flank on an objective without needing logistics.
No fucking wonder why rebellion is loosing when they send supply mission on a fucking minefield (i also got ammo truck in storage so now inf ammo now we just need repair and fuel and gg) also install bike mod that adds a bike since i fucking hate walking 1km to get my old veh back (bike is backpack)
>>1564750>already snagged an ammo truck. Based
Productive morning on Chernarus. Look what we found
>>1544007>reposting bc new threadsame here, knife only on domination in particular is a great way to get your skills up. I remember I basically spent a week doing nothing but trying wacky loadouts and new weapons, by the time I went back to my "meta" loadout (i.e. the loadout I play best with) which consists of>ak-74>compensator>aiming grip>extended magazine>No carrier but light armour>light secondary and a grenadeI was so much better than I remembered since I forced myself to play a harder version of the gamethe most fun for shitposting imo is getting the ghillie suit and then hiding in grass with a knife, then when someone passes near you you emerge and kill them like a metal gear character. Take a lot of patience but quite funny sometimes
>>1550081within distances that the game can render and the scope can see, it's just a matter of practice. You learn the bullet drop, how much to lead a shot at various distances, etc. If you really want a single thing you can concretely do to improve besides practising, once you've taken a position but haven't contacted enemy yet (and ideally, when they won't hear you shoot) take a practice shot to get an idea of the time to target and bullet drop ahead of time
jagged 3 is on humble bundle so now you can find the key for cheap
>>1568174This game fucking sucks, JA2 is way better
Arma guy that hosted antisasi i guess forgot to change the name and pass for the server so now im playing Forgotten Few 2
>>1568291Also idk if this mod is good BUT its being updated since 2019 (enhanced command menu)https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1893300731
does helldivers 1 count
>>1563512I flew a helicopter in a match once and I did a bit of logistics, had a guy in the helicopter complaining all of the time because i took more than 10 seconds to land
For me? It's Project Reality :)
>>1568533Is that the Battlefield 3 mod?
>>1568571How the fuck do you hear of BF3 mod that is dead af while not hearing of BF2 one that is more alive and popular ?
>>1568521bro probably watched a bunch of tiktok montages of people doing backflips to land helis n shit
>>1568174How is jagged 3 ? Its like ~3,50euros
>>1569924Fuck it got it for 3,43euros
>>1568571its standalone and free
>>1568571No that's Reality Mod. Slightly different
>>1568291sorry homie, I'll get it fixed tonight before I go to bed. Forgotten Few rules though
>>1570451>>1568291fixd
>>1570451Kinda shame it was pretty fun and at least i learned to play w ai little better
>>1570808Yeah Forgotten Few 2 rules. It's a good change of pace from Stasi since you do only get one life and forces you to get more tacticool
>>1570981I managed to do like 4 missions then died at 5th next time i wont do naval invasion at harbor. Evac ai is fucking retarded like i selected evac point at the end of the road so ai was confused and it didnt want to turn around and finish the mission so i had to call it again
>>1562248>aceJust use PiR and let me execute PoWs as g*d intended
Got back into squad the last winter months and I'm about done with it again. Every game has retards putting the hab directly on the point and you just sit there getting surrounded by vehicles. Idk I am tired of it
Found busted ass repair truck so i towed it to base>>1571559welcome to modern tactical gaming
>>1571581and found the fuel i think
>>1571581>>1571633based
I'm temporarily living in shared housing for work, and my ROOMmate, not apartment/house mate, was on seal team 4. I'm gonna pick his brain. What ask?
>>1573523what's the workout regimen
>>1574378What about Insurgency: Sandstorm?
>>1574481one of those soulless breakfast snack rebrands from the last 15 years
>>1574378
Picked up that lossless scaling thing off steam to run with Arma, and its actually awesome. In large battles I'll actually render around 30 fps but I can get a buttery smooth 90ish, almost feels like a new game.You'll get some weird graphical artifacts or whatever the fuck sometimes, especially with UI elements, but it's worth it imo
How can I come to enjoy Tarkov PVP as much as Tarkov PVE? Every PVP match I've tried so far has had me getting rushed at spawn.
*Sabaton blasting out of a portable speaker moments before a drone strike*
Squad is best game and you're a faggot if you disagree also add me up frens https://steamcommunity.com/id/fenss/
>>1561874I'm really enjoying the Arland - Conflict mode on Arma Reforger
>shitass meme youtuber makes a reforger video>go onto usual server>people spouting memes fuck off
>>1577676Sam? I hated that video, going to have to deal with people being insanely bad on purpose now because "lol it was funny when sam killed his team mate"
>>1577763How is he now i started following him when he was doing Tarkov shit but then i got sick of him and now its like more than a year since i watched him. (nta)
>>1577803Dumb as fucking ever. Fat. Gay. And... retarded.How NOT to play the game. Just run around being a fat annoying faggot. Miss every shot. Only kill your team mates, never the enemy.
>>1575161the fucking what?
>>1577888https://store.steampowered.com/app/993090/Lossless_Scaling/Apparently its not a scam since i seen people on Skyrim modding talka bout it and its apparently good for emulating shit
Any experienced arma3 modders? have you ever attempted to modify the flight model of a helicopter?
>>1577763Yep, since making that post I have heard the "not service related" joke twice as my teammate just walked away from me instead of actually helping me. Nobody has ever made that joke in the past 240 hours of playing
>>1579097How fucking insufferable. I'm at the point in the game where I know the map decently enough to run logi. I think people who get to this point and run logi get burned out and no one else knows how to do it.No map knowledge, don't know how the truck works, don't know where the supply points are, can't competently solo fight against the AI.New players are fighting an uphill battle then to be a fucking piece of shit "for the lulz" because some youtuber is a fat manbaby. Get the fuck outta here.
>>1579150I've been trying to play American after 150 hours as Russians. I keep getting my ass kicked with the default kit though versus the Russian AK.First game I joined I had an asshole build the arsenal at the MOB start of the game. He was saying he needs LAWs and was giggling as he said it like a piece of shit. Soon after I delivered supplies to MTA. I drive off to resupply, come back and the arsenal is built in front of the command tent so I can't drop off supplies.I just left a game where I kept suiciding to make sure people had helicopters they needed. The pilots were doing okay, but the ground troops were absolutely retarded. We kept getting cut off and you could see on the map 15 blue dots at yellow bases doing fuck all, which means that's 15 people in their own squad not communicating. They wouldn't pull back and you could see it was over.I'm the one that runs logi and back builds bases and I'm getting tired of it. The playerbase is exceedingly selfish.
Just came back to dayz after a few months, where the fuck is everyone? I just spent two hours in a full server running all over the fucking map, and there's no sign of anyone existing. No dead bodies, no dropped loot, no dead zombies, no animal spawns, no freshies on the coast, no gunshots, NOTHING
>>1579711They are prob playing on modded servers when i last time played on public server i seen few players but i fucking hate how janky zombies are
should i play squad or arma 3 i own both but i never bothered to download them or try them my only experience with these kinds of games is playing PR a few years ago
>>1581555Neither stick with PR
>>1581562whyits not very active and the few servers that live are brazilian or russian
>>1581555squad pvparma 3 pve
>>1581555I've played way more squad than arma 3 but honestly it's kind of repetitive now, vehicles are too strong
how is the arma3 server doing?
>>1584289It is fun we moved from Antistasi to Forgotten Few (its more fun at least to me) sadly not many players and our dif in timezones isnt making things easier
Byw any armafags here made maps for the game ? How hard it is like you start a program then with paintbrush you make shit (warcraft 3 style) or is it needlessly complicated and not worth the time ? (custom map not based on anything irl)
man wargame is toughive destroyed so much of their vehicles so far but they keep bringing more! im out of good tanks, ill have to see how i do with tows
>>1584952i won but it was really tough, im out of ground anti-air and lost some more tanksi completely destroyed their birds though.
>>1584526>dif in timezonesAre you a mutt?
