Arma 3 seems a bit too buggy for me right now. In multiplayer my dude keeps on shouting commands at random. Plus it looks like my PC may be a little too old for the good settings. In the meantime, we need to get our BF3 back on :getin:

Threw 4 hours at last boss of MGR over two days, couldn't beat him.

Went back a chapter, farmed 5 health thingies.

First attempt with 5 health thingies, bring him from 200->10 and stayed above 70% of health on the first goddamn tank.

gently caress you, game.

Last boss is kind of an rear end in a top hat. What difficulty are you playing on?

Now that I think about it, default "look down sight" may have been some convoluted awkward button press in Arma II. So yes there was a zoom in, aim, and zoom+aim. Lol

My first playthrough was on Hard. Probably going to do a NG+ on maybe normal or something to gently caress around with the red sword and get some S-ranks maybe. I have no desire to punch myself in the balls repeatedly by playing on VH/revengenace difficulty.

It's fun but you need to un stupid the controls and NEVER EVER GET INVOLVED WITH THE ARMA COMMUNITY except to download mods.

You know those kids who wear $2,000 of real kit to airsoft matches? They talk, and sperg, and scream, and cry about this game.

There are ArmA outfits that are so spergy that they have real, honest to god patches made and detailed rank structures that requires proper addressing. Like they do everything they possibly can to include the loving SINCGARS/TACSAT beeps when they talk on teamspeak.

When DayZ was super popular last summer we invaded an outfit's public TS server. They had a dude get super loving mad at us because he was a Warrant Officer 4 in their group and demanded to be addressed as chief. I opened my mic and laughed so loving hard I started to cough and wheeze while the dude frantically fumbled with ban controls.

I played BF3 for a week on Pc but then just stopped completely. That new trailer looks pretty fun though. I dont know why I keep going back to Black Ops 2? I guess I like jumping into games and just running and gunning with goons

Wait a minute... People actually take airsoft seriously? Like they have matches and stuff? I am so confused right now.

To hopefully not derail the gently caress out of this thread, amazon has a good deal on Ticket to ride right now. You can buy the base game and 4 expansions for 6 and change. It would probably make a good game for GIP game night or something, the game is pretty solid, has a lot of people playing at any given time, and you can play it through steam or your web browser, possibly even your idevice, but I haven't tried that yet. .

Here is a link to the deal: Suck my nuts

Goons are generally cool to play ArmA with because while they'll stick to fireteams and orders and poo poo they don't overdo it and don't turn off respawns

The same goes for flight sim goons. Some of those dudes run virtual squadrons with DO's and instructor-slotted dudes. It confounds me why these idiots would take all of the unfun poo poo from real-life and transpose it into a game.

Back in the days of Microsoft Flight Sim 2004(?)I flew for a virtual airline. Basically you get a list of flights, fly them, and either use the honor system or record a log. At first it was a neat way to see airports I never would have thought about otherwise. Then I started getting "orders" and well.

Any game with a small but dedicated community gets real stupid real fast.

TrackIR? And it's loving *brilliant*. I use it for FSX and DCS: A-10. It's seriously amazing for flight simming. I just really like A:10 cuz it's fun to blow up tanks and strafe runways when your buddy is taking off.
