Re: How realistic is ArmA?

Completed my basic offline training today. Also couldn't aim the grenade launcher, I'm so used to the weak things in PR that I massively overestimate shots.

The sight on the M203 doesn't work in a realistic manner, it comes down to mostly judgement with that thing.

One thing allot of people like to adjust is the "free float" under controlls. It basically allows you to move around your head within the float zone without actually turning your body. When you reduce the free float level the movement becomes much closer to every other FPS. When you increase it you can look around while walking without changing direction as easily.

You will have to play around with it to find a nice balance. You can also hold down the left "alt" button to swivel only your head while going in any direction.

If you want some help in how the Mulitplayer works, Acreo Aeneas and I are going to be on the server later so I can give him the low down. You are welcome to join us. I am in the ARMA Teamspeak channel hanging out, or catch me on x-fire.

USMC uses it to train? Where did you hear about that?

He meant VBS2, which is based on the ArmA engine.

VBS2 is based off of ArmA, not the other way around.

Most realistic video game I've ever played.
