Basebuilding, 3 factions, Chernarus map, ... no zombies this time though.
Check out those movies and if you're half as excited as I am, let me know so we can put a group together to check it out :)

[Hangover]

I´m looking forward to see the Arma III as soon the team will be realeased from jail in Grecce for spionange.

So in other words it's "DayZ PvP only" ÂÂ*:?

I dunno but it seems to me it kinda lacks the feeling of fighting for survival that DayZ creates and pretty much just adds some minor extra stuff to normal ARMA 2. Reminds more of an MMORPG actually (with currency and AI enemies), not my thing to be honest. Besides the orange filter gives me eye cancer... I'll wait for DayZ standalone.

So in other words it's "DayZ PvP only" ÂÂ*:?
I was dissappointed with DayZ because noone cared about working together, so it was basicly deathmatch with zombies getting in the way of gearing up to have a fighting chance against these bandits who most of the time are camping the cities with their snipers. (I still don't see the fun in that ...)

Just played this for a couple of hours with Extimor & Pubbe.
Had more fun in these couple of hours than I had playing DayZ.

This requires a lot more teamwork and people are drawn to these missions all the time, had some epic fights over a Tank, we managed to take an LAV and a Chopper too. Also had some intense base-raids too.

Hoping more people get into this, because it's just sooo much more fun than DayZ :D

[ExLee]

So you gather all the stuff then and shit on people who have less or nothing... Don't see much difference to DayZ to be honest.

But I watched some more videos today and it really comes across as an MMO type game to me and DayZ is not an MMO. For a game with a name "Wasteland" there's too much order and civilization present.
Yeah DayZ has annoying bandits but at least it reminds you that anarchy rules the streets and you have to stay on your toes to survive, the value of your life increases drastically. The atmosphere is what makes or brakes the game for me and Wasteland just puts an orange filter over vanilla ARMA 2. /hyperbole

No offence, just my humble opinion. ÂÂ*:)

[Sir_Extimor]

I have no idea what "Orange filter" you are talking about. I just switched between DayZ and Wasteland and they look exactly the same. You are probably watching videos with people that have messed up settings.
And to be honest, Day Z lacks surviving features as well. It's actually easier staying alive in DayZ then in Wasteland. Also the tactic element in Wasteland is much more fun as there actually is tactics =) Lastly, I was tired of spending 75% of my in-game time running.
That's my five cents about the two.

[iNco782]

Just to throw something different into the mix. Â*

I recently started playing ACE mod for ARMA2 http://wiki.ace-mod.net/Introduction
Which is a hyper realism mod.

We play custom PVP missions such as 5 4 man squads have to attack the NWA or capture And hold devils castle. Â*What ensues is really intense and loads of fun. Â*also throw some coop PVE missions into the mix.

If any of you are interested in trying this then please give me a shout.

P.S.
Wasteland is great fun.

And Extimor lmao at your PRO banner ;D thats almost as elitist as me ÂÂ*:twisted:

@Sir_Extimor

Really ? You don't see the very obvious orange filter ? I don't want to bash the mod for what it is: You all like it, I respect that and it's not my cup of tea but please compare these pictures:

No difference ? I guess you one of the people who do not notice the awful blue filter in BF3 as well because here how it suppose to look:

Fun fact: You'll get banned by PB if you try to make the game look better... ÂÂ*:roll:

[Vercetti]

Filters, it's the Instagram fuck up of pictures, and games :)

[0daro0]

nice!

[iNco782]

Are those pictures from you playing Exlee?

Depending on what time of day you play arma 2 it drastically affects the colours. Â*Adjusting brightness and gamma levels could also cause colour variation.

They must use a grey colour filter at night ÂÂ*:roll:

Although I have noticed that I struggle to get 40 FPS in wasteland whereas I get around 70 FPS in DayZ.

[st0mpy]

Wow those bf3 ones are striking,ive always found the darkness a turn off and the blue is way overblown, i can see now the filter is the major part of the problem, dalian is the same for us, devs put a blue filter on to make it look like cold and snow, its horrible, the old bf2 dalian was much better.

Before i go wrecking my config hunting, what turns the bf3 one off? I dont want to simply regamma since it wont remove the mess.

http://bf3.realmware.co.uk/colour-tweaker/
You can download the tweaker here but tread carefully because while GGC says it's okay to use, DICE didn't comment on this and PB as always is piece of shit program that will ban you for anything... So caution is advised !

@iNco

Both pictures are around noon so not a daytime problem. Maybe people have tweaked their setting and they see the same colors I dunno but that's the default and it makes me puke... sorry ÂÂ*:?

[st0mpy]

ah crap, thanks but better not. ÂÂ*Yes, DICE/BF3 is such a pita, I use autohotkey since its a simple but very able language to write small (and not so small) routines very quickly without a full development workspace and BF3 refuses to run if any of my utilities are even loaded. They have nothing to do with bf3 at all, i never use cheats no matter how easy they might be to get or program, yet it just scans for program type and kicks me out of servers for it until I unload anything to do with it.

Yes i realise macros can be written in it, but thats like, banning visual basic apps for being able to compile aimbots. Simple correcting macros can be written in default logitech software yet thats fine, its punishing the innocent for the sins of a few.
