ArmA 3 VS Project Reality MOD.... Project Reality Wins IMO

[SIDEKILLER™]

I love the ArmA series for one thing and that is single player. I love and enjoy it I spend hours among hours just making missions and watching the Ai fight each other. I was so hyped for ArmA 3 online multiplayer but the let Down Due to the available content, bad FPS and horrible artificial intelligence. Even the server browser to this day is still a headache to browse in every other server is a stupid RPG server!! on a MILITARY SIMULATOR.. then every other server is a co-op server. The artificial intelligence is bad in ArmA 3 down to the sounds engine/ Sound design is horrible. This was a huge letdown but I wanted more. The PVP on this game is nowhere to be found hardly. The flying Aircraft is to easy IMO ETC. ETC. ETC. but then you have the MOD Project Reality. This mod have answer everything I wanted in a PVP mil-sim From the Infantry all the way to armor to aircraft. There is no switching between channels "Direct, Vehicle, Side, etc channels" it a great VOIP for Project Reality called mumble very SIMPLE just for the mod it self. (ACER is awesome tho)

Local Chat - for players around you

Sqaud Chat- for members of your squad

Squad leader Chat- to communicate to different elements on your team " Tanks, APCs, Transport/CAS Heli/Jets and other Infantry squads leaders.

The Infantry combat is so enjoyable and feels so realistic. There isn't 100 different type of different medical Scripts and to simulate a down injured player like in ArmA the medic system in the game is simple and really good.

Driving Tanks and APCs feel very intense. Hunting out other teams armored divisions, infantry watching out for HAT or LAT from Infantry forces or Jets or CAS, yes it takes skill and patience

The Aircraft in the game is also very enjoyable as well I must say. It's really take a lot of "skill" to fly a transport Heli and Attack Heli there is no Auto hover here this gonna take some time to learn. it took me months but I got it down pack now still to this day learning how to master the jets. every aircraft have it feel and pros n cons I'm not saying ArmA aircraft don't but let's be real here anyone can hop in a Aircraft and feel like a pro till it come to landing etc. and using a attack Heli just feel to damn easy in ARMA to the point I feel like I'm cheating till I get lock by a Titan missile of course. In PR it's different you feel so scared for your life when your in the air from Manpads to AAA APCS to enemy aircraft. If you have a joystick it makes the immersion experience 100x better over a keyboard and mouse.

Project Reality has two main game modes that are mostly played here AAS and Insurgency both fun as hell. Your not going against garbage artificial intelligence this is all PVP but the mod does offer Co-op for those who enjoy that. At the end of the day ArmA is awesome series but as far as ArmA 3 I don't know what went wrong and the only thing that is saving it is the modding community here. From A.I enhancement mods to many vehicles missions and etc. is what had been keep me coming back but at this point I'm tired of co-op tiring of the ♥♥♥♥ty server browser and bad FPS on a computer I spent $1600 to build, to looking at a server with RPG on it. till either I see ACE3 or something better.. Project Reality MOD than this game " IN MY OPINION"


if you want to check out PR still over 300plus players everyday
www.Realitymod.com

make sure you got BF2 tho.

Not trying to anger you ARMA fanboys and Loyalist but if wanna see something different I thought I share my opinion on here maybe you would you like this mod maybe not who cares...

Hello there

Whilst PR and PRA2 are good they are also mods and roleplay as are the RPG modes you dislike.

Arma's continuing sucess is down to its modability and sandboxyness, I dont think you should berate those for liking a different playstyle to yours.

I tried PR and found it lacking in comparison to Arma but PRA2 I thought was superb, I hope the guys rethink and bring it to A3.

"I tried PR and found it lacking in comparison to Arma but PRA2 I thought was superb, I hope the guys rethink and bring it to A3"
LOL.
In short you are asking PR to completely remake Arma3 into a game worth playing so BI can continue to rake in the dough!
That really sums up this whole campaign of quash complaints, convert Arma2 into an abomination of a DLC milk cow and wait for the community to fix this game and come up with somthing everyone wants to play!
More pathetic every day.

I prefer Arma2 over PR BF2 because of AI squad control, but other than that PR BF2 is a great project. and these vids almost convince me to reinstall BF2.

[Nocturna]

Yep, PR is awesome.

[Clover]

I really don't get Arma 3 haters, the game is objectively better in so many areas, and to top it all off it doesn't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ itself the second you try to play large mission files or mods online. Arma 2's performance is a disaster in comparison. I understand that the game is lacking in content and vehicles, but there are plenty mods adding in new content. I wish more people played it as a military sim, but I love the other gamemodes anyway, and singleplayer fills that gap just fine.

Hello there

No, Im not asking anyone to do anything.

I liked PRA2 and the core mechanics which promoted team play would not be hard to bring over.

PR BF just left me cold. That doesnt mean its dreadful, it just didnt move me.

There are a vast amount of mods to bring vanilla Arma3 "up to scratch". But using those and the teamplay mechanic it could be done quite sucessful IMHO.

Not without its difficulties but hardly insurmountable.

Id rather give my cash to BI than EA.

Hm, I thought that PR didn't have bots, but if it does, I highly doubt they're on the level of Arma's AI. Hell, there's barely any FPS out there that allows for proper squad control or an unscripted AI that knows more than just to aim and shoot.

And frankly, there being 'only RPG and coop servers, no PvP ones' is a community choice, not part of the game design. The larger units who run their own servers probably do plenty of PvP.

What level is that? Arma bots are extremely dumb and retarded. They have been since Operation Flashpoint. Nothing much has changed since Operation Flashpoint other than the graphics. Unless BIS can make Arma 64bit in a release, PR is going to be an excellent replacement for Arma using Crytek's engine.

[-OrLoK- Слава Україн]

Hello there

I think the AI does seem a little off in A3, but add in a mod like ASR_AI for example they become far more fun.

Arma has always been, to a degree, about giving us a platform and letting modders go wild, no matter what one thinks of that approach.

Ive always liked BIs AI. Not perfect but not bad at all.

If PR came to the Crytek engine, I might take another look.

Im not a rabid PR hater, it just wasnt "my thing".

Good luck to them, I say but I'll still keep Arma.

There is room for both, just like there's room for CoD and MLP.

Because you like one it does not mean you HAVE to hate the other.

Well, I haven't gotten around to PR yet, so feel free to enlighten me as to why their bots would be better. In the BF series I've only ever encountered either "smart" bots that are purely scripted campaign encounters, or "dumb" bots that just spawn in, solo-jog to a flag and start shooting.

I was very disappointed with ARMA 3 not finding a large community interested in milsim PVP (I know it exists, but they are small and closed groups). I do not like RPGs, and those popular mods that are always full of players. I did not expect these mods to be the most popular in an infantry simulation game.
I think ARMA's military simulation proposal is incredible and with great potential, despite poor optimization. I really wish there were more people willing to play together, with full servers prioritizing realism and teamplay.
I do not have much choice in ARMA. If I want to play PVP, I need to appeal to KOTH or try to find a group playing COOP against AI (awful).
For me, there is a malaise when playing ARMA, because I always have the impression that the game is very complex for the community that has.

Luckily I found a very good server called EUTW.NET which is close to what I look for in ARMA 3 (AAS similar to PR: BF2). I recommend it.

Sorry for my bad English.

NOPE.AVI

First it's rude to advertise for a game on a different games forum.
Second about the choppers. If you feel scared for your life then the chopper is not done correctly. IRL if your in a attack chopper and you are above enemy ground forces with only rocket launchers as AA then you will destroy them.

[=]TjF[= wooly-back-jack]

it's not always tactical though XD

also, I used to play it alot early days, it was great, but if you left it for a few versions you came back to a completely different game and had to learn all over again, it was a game you had to keep playing.

Milsim RP pvp don't work thats why they play co-op! and if it dont have the RP in it then it goes off course from MilSim very quickly and becomes a battle of who can out exploit the other. Anyone that really plays milsim knows this!
