Cant see the enemy and just die over and over

[The Fury]

I just started the first mission and I just die every time, I take cover in the prone but I just cant see the enemy, All I can see are bullet impacts and then I die.

The enemey are practically invisible on my screen and are almost impossible to shoot at range due to the starting weapon having no scope.

I am playing on a 27" monitor and my settings are pretty much maxed as im running a 7970 Matrix and yet I cant make out the enemy against the rest of the screen, its like trying to shoot the Predator.

Do I need to adjust the settings because at the moment Im just dying over and over to things I cant see at a range my weapon doesnt work over.

You know, I find it tiresome that calling someone a COD fan implies they lack skill. I like COD and even I find ARMA to be a chore. There's a fine line between fun and challenge and ARMA 3 went entirely in the other direction

No, fun is subjective from person to person, you do not get to decree what is fun and what is a chore for anyone else but yourself, neither do I or indeed anyone else.

I don't like COD, but I'm not going to talk ♥♥♥♥ about it or the people who do like it, it does it's thing but it's thing is not for me. If everyone stuck to their own lanes on this matter we'd not have an issue. But they don't, so you'll get ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ARMA veterans talking down about COD kiddies, and K/D hero's cringing at ARMA's hurry up and wait simulation.

Both sides are full of morons, don't join them.

Lol you have 4 hrs in arma 3 and 1700hrs in just ONE call of duty, your opinion means little lol, also call of duty only requires twitch skills, there is at least half a dozen twitch shooters that require more skill and talent to play then any cod game 😀.

What does it matter that I have 17k hours. that's for SINGLEPLAYER AND ZOMBIES! I barely touch MP so next time do some research before you call another player out you pompous ♥♥♥♥

of course I'm no moron but the point stands

[Caedo]

Nah you are a moron, you have 4 hours in a game yet you come to it's forum and call it a chore lol like the game is for people who enjoy a more realistic combat experience? Cod is running arround spraying bullets, even worse you don't play multiplayer so that's the most repetitive experience you can have lmao, 1700 doing the same thing over and over again but arma 3 is the chore? How old are you? 12?

why is this being brought up again,
this is a combat sim,
cod is a action packed shooter for a quick thrill,

they do there own thing, that is all pure and simple,
you want a full battlefield experience like real soldiers, Arma 3,
you want something quick and spoon fed, Cod.

Because they are recycling and part of the Greta movement.
Imagine the Co2 release if they had to invent new topics :D

This kid sounds like a COD fan....yeah bro kinda like real life.....no one gunna ♥♥♥♥♥♥ walk up to you and knife you in broad daylight. Much like in real life you make yourself as invisible and small as possible. You dont go running around jumping out of building spinning in a 360 getting head shots. Move slow, use your binoculars, scout ahead. spot your targets, attack them before they attack you, use hit and run, move on the enemy at random. Idk how "far" your talking about but yeah get back to me when we are talking 12000 view distance shooting a target thats moving from 1.3km away with wind.....thats called skill not the BS in fagofduty

Fagofduty, that's a good one. Nice exemplification of this homophobic, racist community.

Ehm, please don't generalize other people because you are offended by this person. Also, you are talking into the past with that one. That is short of 10 years ago.

Contentious opinion time here, and I will say that this has been a very hot button issue that IMO has gotten worse since the years have gone by.

The way AI sees means that the players can't see "adequately" through foliage and ground clutter and I swear to you the last time I tried to install ARMA 3, the ai could perceive details confirming a target that most humans cannot. I'm a long time player 1000+ hours, played many brutal scenarios.

After installing it after years of not playing I noticed peculiarities of the ai in terms of how they could spot the player and direct accurate fire. Other people have complained about it but the shill squad swoops in and starts their gaslighting about how it's not possible.

The way it seems to work is that the obfuscation layer on foliage and how the ai sees players or other ai is not (last time I played) very "human". Basically in the BIS forums somebody said that the invisible layer that is supposed to "block" ai vision is not adequate and allows the ai to discern way more than a human player could when being behind the same cover.

You can argue this against me but that's what people were saying was basically the only way to fix it, and I did not have the desire or patience to install the mod tools and do it myself with every little piece of grass and shrub and tree.

Whereas a human needs more than a dot of exposure of an ai to acquire a target, the ai can literally see a small minuscule bit of a player or other ai sticking out from somewhere that should be part of the unintelligible background among the ground clutter. I used to fix this by altering their "sensitivity" values for each unit until their spotting time and ability was more in line with an actual human being instead of something from cyberpunk 2077. I tried doing that again and altering the sensitivity values did not work, so I basically gave up because I'm not here to fight bipedal half life 2 turrets.

It's like the AI has permanent heat vision on, last time I installed I spent more time trying to figure out how the ai had changed, but they really need to do a better job of balancing a more realistic perception model for ai, because last time I played it was basically terminator tier.

Concealment was only for ai and if you didn't have cover, you were basically ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

That's not fun so I uninstalled it and went back to ghost recon breakpoint.

Maybe you need to change your gaming style, finding the enemy before they find you is a challenge in itself. Cover is your best friend.

Not really fair that the last time I installed the game "concealment" worked better for AI than the player to a degree that made concealment pointless for the player. I don't mind a challenge but there are two things I hate in "realistic" games.

- bullet spongey opponents that are supposed to be as vulnerable as the player

- opponents that have perceptive abilities that are far more enhanced than the player

Both of those are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lame, I don't want an "extra challenge" in the form of superhuman enemies in a supposedly tactical shooter.

Maybe it's changed, but a few years ago it was bad, like remarkably worse than anything I had experienced from 2014-2017, and I played the absolute ♥♥♥♥ out of the game from 2014 to 2017.
