How is this different from Zeus? (I never used Zeus, so I don't know much about it).

I haven't played Arma in forever. Did the jungle island map release?

This is an update to the main editor. It gives you a 3d view of objects you place on the map which can be more precise. Also they have added more options for building missions to make life easier. Zeus (I have never used it) is more of dynamic thing which someone controls the mission as it plays out or something similar to that. Like I noted I have never used it. I don't about the maps I would have to look. I just booted it up to take a peek at the editor to see what had changed. I was hoping that spending 30 hours building and testing a mission would be drastically reduced and less mods just for basic functions. I spent about an half hour playing with it. Not sure about the maps as I would need to catch up what has been going on. I have been messing with DCS (http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/) since they launched the Nevada Map.

I will take a look at the editor more as it sparked my interest of slapping some missions together, hopefully there is some improvement. Maybe we can get something going on a weekend. We did have some fun last summer.. :). Wish we had more people interested, sort of left me frustrated last year spending a boatload of time on a mission, and things did not pan out. Unfortunately frustration sets in faster when your a grouchy old man. LOL!

Tanoa Map has not been released. Sometime in 2016 with the Apex expansion.


Arma 3 Apex is scheduled for release in Q2 2016. People who pre-order Arma 3 Apex will be able to test some of the new content and features ahead of Apex' official release via Arma 3 Dev-Branch (http://dev.arma3.com/dev-branch) on Steam (exact dates and plans will be shared later on the Arma 3 Dev Hub (http://dev.arma3.com/)).

Pre-order is 27.99

Ahh. I dunno when I'll play again. I just don't have a group to play with and there's so many other games to play...

No worries, just thought I would mention maybe sometime. If there were more people here interested that would be plus, but they are not. Just trying to organize around schedules and other peoples interests makes it hard to make things pan out for organized game play, which is truly understandable. :)

I have Arma 2 & 3 from a Steam Holiday sale, never played. Watched a million hours of people play it and the DayZ mod, it looks really amazing but like yall said, its more about the people you play with.

One thing about this game is that if you play a mission, it never comes with the same result or there is enough variation in the action to make things dynamic. That is one the pros of this game. Another pro is in multi-player is that teamwork prevails.

The cons in many cases for multi-player, is just getting people together and the headaches, such as network issues, hosting the mission, bugs in the mission, etc. Just to create a mission sometimes can take a lot of hours of creating/testing if you want a mission that is more complex.

Anyway there are hundreds of missions in the steam workshop for those not into mission building. I like to build missions, but there is no sense in expending the energy to create one, if there are not enough people to play it.

I'd be willing to do a few missions with you guys. Sorry I had to abandon the game when I got burned out on it in the other areas I was playing it. Hit me up if you see me online in Steam.

What all has happened/needs to be added since I last played? Any expansions or anything? Have the bugs been addressed to a satisfactory degree?

I have not caught up all the way or somewhat out of the loop. Well, when playing with the new editor I noticed they finally fixed showing your sidearm holstered, about freaking time, After 2 years. That always bugged the crap out of me. So I did play with the editor a little bit. I few new things in that area but I imagine it will be rough going.

New things, new bugs and some irritating stuff with fixed wing AI actions with mission building, that pissed me off. I guess the next big thing is the new map.

Anyway, I would be up for a mission. I we never did finish the second one I built last time,we got our asses waxed by the AI. I will see if I can find it and see if it works with the recent updates. Teamspeak server is still up but I changed the password as it got exposed. Pm me if you want it for pre-check.

I'd be down to play with you guys on another mission

Yes.. :D

I still have to get my stuff sorted. I need to test my mission and looking at all the issues with the eden and Multi-player, a new mission on using eden is probably out of the picture for the moment. Mods should still be compatible or at least updated for revive and re-spawn.

The one mission we did or the 3 of us, still works or the triggers still seem to fire and supports. The other one that me and rage... the parachute jump, can't seem to find it. I moved to an SSD and did fresh install so I must of missed it.
