Before, I wasn't too interested in programming or writing any code, but now that I've mastered the scripting language, I feel that coding is my thing.

It's mostly adjustment for me to adapt to the A3 editor.35Obviously this is Alpha, so my opinion right now is that we aren't necessarily on the "game" part of it. We're mass-bug-testing, what we're playing now is a testbed to make sure that when they start adding content the engine and the infantry related things are streamlined.

For this reason I rated my satisfaction as 3, because it hasn't struck me as a "game". However, my expectations are very high for this title, and I can see how much love has been put into the little things. It's now a question of adding content, which we'll begin to see in Beta. I expect to see as much, if not more, detail put into the rest of the game.

Would also hopefully see some optimization. Currently that's the elephant in the room in terms of problems.

5/27/2013 20:35:53YesSaw videos on the internetInterface (Action Menus, inventory, Briefing screens)The user interface is not very intuitive. I'm still confused when I come up to a body or supply crate and want to take something or swap out stuff. The whole F1-F10 keys for controlling teammates is wacky, along with using 1-10 for different commands. There's got to be a better way. I think people get turned off by how complicated it is.RTS \ Strategy, Other simulations (DCS, GTR), MMOs \ RPGsAlpha Stable30-50 hoursNoGreat 5Great 544Poor 134Great 535Don't use any.Good - 5Good - 52Good - 5Single Player Missions \ CampaignNew Campaignsvoice commands like Endwar has. Why can't you guys incorporate that? It's awesome.No44Things that annoy me:
1. Teammates screaming about proving covering fire, out of ammo, etc etc... once in awhile I suppose it would be ok to here an AI teammate, but it's a constant stream of this sort of stuff and I end up turning the voice volume down to zero.
2. User interface. So convoluted. So confusing. Hitting scroll wheel followed by a number followed by backspace, etc etc.
3.The fact that you don't incorporate voice commands. Instead of having to hit a bunch of keyboard buttons, you could so easily talk into a mic and tell units 2, 3, and 4 to move to target, or all units fall back, or request sitrep - these are all things that Endwar does flawlessly and that game has been out for years.

Things I love:
1.Realism. Absolutely love the ballistics, sounds of weapons, graphics, and soldier movements. Even the AI is above average.
2.Flexibility. The incredible amount of different scenarios that can be presented using air, land, and sea.
3.Editor. So powerful and easy to use (relatively speaking).

Overall this game is an instant classic but misses the mark when it comes to the UI and lack of voice commands. Great job!

Certain features have been requested by the community since OFP and they still have not even been discussed by BI.

But even in the current alpha state I think ArmA3 is going to be the best game in the series.



I filled the poll because I have a few minutes but I'd like to know what you are hoping to achieve with it. Personal curiosity or anything else? You could comment in your thread on the BI forum if you want to. Anyway, I hope you find the anwers useful.

Generally, particularily in the light of the coop community experience, the AI needs to be improved.

I think BI need to start thinking outside of the box on this.

This has been a consistant issue and headache since the original OpFlash, for which i made missions for too.

For instance in ArmA 2, i needed to script within a separate file outside of the editor to make people properly airdrop from the Super Hercules (c-130J).

This should be done that all scripting related to missions should be easily and hassle free to be done from within the editor.		35

Can't wait what BIS comes up in future DLC:s and what community comes up with modding.

But I really want to see some new PvP missions and game modes. A lot of people are looking for more PvP, but the current user made content for it aren't really up for the standards. Team deathmatch type game modes don't really suit up well in Arma, need actual missions and advesarial game modes.

O2 is ancient both UI and workflow-wise and seriously hinders the creation of more complex models. With Blender and a number of industry-standard apps for 3D content creation readily available at no cost, maybe it's time to dump the ancient workflow that O2 commands in favour of a set of lean and more complete plugins to Blender/3ds max/modo. Or maybe ditch the modelling part for good and just provide a .paa compiler that will accept up-to-date industy standard file formats like .FBX or .DAE alongside a complete set of BIwiki documents.

Really need a new version of BinPBO to process some of the new model.cfg capabilities and a new version of O2 to make PhysXLODs without corrupting the .p3d in a way that means O2 wont load the MLOD after saving it with a 4e13 LOD		44

5/28/2013 6:18:30YesSaw videos on the internetControlsGood tutorials and good control schemes. More integrated features. Leaving stuff to modding is cool but not everything. Acre for example.

And most of all. JUMPING and CLIMBING places you should be able to like fences and some walls.

Better climbing animations. Tighter switch to climbing, it takes way to long to start climbing.

Tighter switch from game to map and back to game.

Any UI that make the player wait DURING PLAY is bad. Except for respawn.
