ArmA III

First part of the SP campaign has been out for a few days now. Although short, it was quite enjoyable, but not as difficult as some user co-op missions.

Been playing a lot of Arma 3 Wasteland recently. Add me if you want to join in. steam: itsnej.

Which Wasteland are you playing? Just wondering.

mostly ws.arma.su hardcore servers. Playing without 3rd person adds a lot more realism to it. Especially cool with surround sound.

Think its this server http://arma3.swec.se/server/data/35915

This is currently the best zombie/dayz mod for Arma 3 - http://www.thezombieinfection.com/ (breaking point, currently alpha). The other two (Zoombies and DeadNation) are awful performance and bug wise. Breaking Point is actually pretty decent, a lot of stuff working and the performance is actually good, even when compared to other non-zombie missions. It has a some cool features and nice loot that was ported from their Arma 2 mod I presume.

Outclasses the other zombie mods for Arma 3 by far currently, I'd say it's even better than Arma 2 DayZ mod (due to arma 3 stuff, also Altis <3). They said on Twitter that they've been building the mod from scratch for Arma 3 for the last 5 months.

What is it like compared to DayZ? What Wasteland does wrong is that guns are too easy to use, respawning to buddies is easy, getting to places is easy, vehicles are abundant, etc... all this means that death is a "whatever" event, you'll be equipped just fine two minutes after death. DayZ's charm came from the fact that you had to actually be careful, because getting proper guns was difficult. Which led to more interesting firefights and gameplay.

I was walking around for about 1 or 2 hours, scouted quite a few buildings only found one makarov, so I guess they're pretty rare. Well, most DayZ variations have been different than Wasteland anyway, Wasteland is all about getting fast gear and PvP, this is much more slow paced. It's pretty much DayZ ported to Arma 3 on Altis map, with the features that DayZ Breaking Point had.

Played Breaking Point for a few hours now. Managed to loot a military tower and the hospital in the biggest city on Altis, Kavala (east coast). Found a portable surgery kit that you can use on other players when low on health, a Smith&Wesson 9mm handgun, a Benelli M4 shotgun and an RCO scope that doesn't really shine on a shotty, but saving it for later when I find myself a rifle. You can see all the weapons BP has here - http://breakingpointmod.com/wiki/index.php?title=Weapons
Also found a vest (it's the mid slot/body item), I reckon it's pretty rare because you can put in almost as much stuff as you can in your backpack, for example bandolier or a ranger belt holds way less, which is cool.
For some reason you also have the ability to throw random objects you find at zeds, like bricks, which is hilarious

Youtube videos of the mod are starting to appear, here's a few from PsySindicate:

The only bad thing about it is currently an issue with sometimes disappearing ammo/mags, but that is due to an Arma 3 issue. Please take your time and upvote this ticket (you'll need to register an Arma3 bugtracker account but it's fast):

I just couldnt get into this franchise, the AI of your team is too retarded, and the third person mode leaves a lot to be desired.

This looks quite solid. Might even by ARMA 3 now, at some point. When my peasantpockets get some money and the gods of Steam put it on sale. Looks even better than the DayZ Standalone alpha videos.

It's retarded that it looks better than DayZ standalone. Rocket's really dropped the ball, sadly. It really does suck, he seems like a nice guy too.

It doesnt matter how well it looks, it matters how well it plays.

No shit. Nobody's talking about the graphics.
