Author Topic: Arma Megathread  (Read 1414 times)

Arma is a military simulator that emphasizes Team work, Coordination, communication, and command. It features a mix of Infantry and vehicle combat(Jets, helicopters, and big planes included). Not only can you play it as a shooter, but as an rts or squad based shooter. There is base building and reasource collecting(earning cash through captured towns, killing, and salvaging). This game is pretty demanding so you will require a decent computer to run it.

Other facts:
The game was made by the same people who made the First Operation Flashpoint. Servers can support 64 players and thousand of AI under there command. The game world is one large map(the size of a small country) and can have multiple things happening on it. Like the source engine, Bohemia uses their engine and constantly adds on to it.

Games in the Series:
Arma: Cold war Assault(It is Operation Flashpoint, but re-released under a new name) - See Op:Flashpoint
Arma: Armed Assault - First game in the series
Arma 2 - Second game in the series often criticised for its bugginess
Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead - Standalone expansion to Arma 2, fixes many problem and you can play Arma 2 missions in it if you own the first Arma 2

You know what's fun? spawning OPFOR in all the towns w/patrols on roads and then commanding a huge squad to wipe them all out.

Indeed.

was playing project reality with 70 people and pretty much the whole team raided one town in a valley, then on all sides of the valley we were being fired on. then a heli dropped off 8 friendly guys into the town and we took it over. then i quit to download something i think.

I like riding in the AAVP7 as a gunner and offering support to the marines getting out to take a Taki village. I don't like to play as the army much because they have an odd weapon selection.

Seeing as this is a megathread, anyone want to play right now?

get project reality and i will

Thank god ArmA 3 is going to have proper physics, Less bad AI driving events like these:




Too bad there is no way in hell I'm gonna be able to run it.


Also this thread isn't exactly "mega".

i once spawned like 20 transport helis and they chain crashed into eachother mid flight.

I wish I had/could play arma.

I'll save my money to buy Arma 3.

I remember playing Domination in Arma2:OA and I shot a tank and it just blew up and flew up into the sky. Also the Graphix for Arma 3, its looks like they are trying to compete with BF3, but they aren't.


Bump. I recommend getting Project Reality if you Arma Operation 2 Combined OPs. It makes the game a whole lot better.
