  2. Sniper Package sneaks into the Arma 3 Alpha Prague, Czech Republic, Wednesday 6th June 2013 Right before heading out to Los Angeles for the E3 Expo, Bohemia Interactive released a content update for the Arma 3 Alpha. The ?Sniper Package? includes two powerful sniper rifles and supplementary ghillie suits The first rifle, the Gepard GM6 Lynx, is a semi-automatic anti-materiel rifle using 12.7x108 mm ammo. Its purpose is to stop or disable targets such as light armored vehicles, armored rifle troops, light shelters and helicopters from 600?800 m range. The second weapon, the M320R Long Range Rifle, is a .408 caliber sniper rifle, valued for its accuracy up to 2000 meters. Furthermore, besides new camouflage clothing (ghillie suits), the Sniper Package also features sniper optics (long range scopes) and a rangefinder (special binoculars). All content will be added automatically via a Steam update (0.60), which also includes the ?stance indicator? and several other game improvements and fixes. The full details are listed in the changelog.
  3. Just remember that the more powerful tools we provide or allow tend to make the game play more like "just going through the motions" of an attack, and though it is important to have fire support and close air support for our e-soldiers, it is equally important to have a proper degree of a challenge for players as well. Just being able to be killed by the enemy is not a challenge enough, IMHO, and a degree of fear is a good thing in a realism game such as Arma. No one should feel comfortable popping their head up while deep in the shit, and they should have to think on how to act and react, instead of just scoping inept AI bots with high power assault rifles FTW. Balance is difficult to achieve, and props to all those working on this/these missions to create that sense of balance and challenge. !hi
  4. nah, nothing that dramatic. But on Memorial Day, outside the grocery store, 2 VFW members were posted there, accepting donations and meeting people. They are certainly some of the last survivors of WWII and it was my honor to meet them. !hi
  5. haha! I use that bridge bombing training TE all the time with different bombs - I think I hit it once or twice over the years. !lol What's really fun is trying to drop one of them B-61's and escape the blast wave - haha!

  8. A Humble Memorial Salute A Humble Memorial Salute to the United States Armed Services - Thank You for your Service! Filmed on Memorial Day 2013 in Arma 2. special thanks to =VG= TortiaBoy and [LAMBS] Nixxen, and to Jager for their assistance.
  9. special thanks to 8uMag00 (a.k.a. dragon) for the awesome collage!! !pals
  10. =VG= T.E.D.F. wrote ... ... players are still forcedto Team 1 (blufor) when they join or die Melon, can you perhaps fix this? I've done some publicity on this, but (see chatbox) in game messages should also be adjusted to reflect this event, and give players a heads up. In game rules need to apply, and messages should say "No teamswitching to bot side" of course, and if you fix the above issue TED mentioned, it will be "automated", eh? !dntknw
  11. ...be forewarned - i44 Domi Port has poor garbage collection, server FPS will go down and down until it needs a manual restart. Still an awesome Domi port, but needs manual attention from an active admin at times. Have fun! Hope you get more numbers tomorrow - remember, you can post up on the actual I44 site and get their I44 community involved if you want more numbers. !cheers
  12. BTW - Falcon BMS is wayyyyy better, and more stable. We all fly it now, and it's free! Just download the BMS installer, and point it to your Falcon 4 .exe - if you do not have the original Falcon executable, you do not need to purchase the original game, just download the executable from our Falcon BMS section, then when installing BMS, you just point to where it is on your PC. Eazy Peazy. Again, feel free to post up any questions, we are always happy to help.
  13. www.veterans-gaming.com/download.php?list.62 Called Gunslinger X52 Pro 1.3 - from the included readme: "Paste the ?GunslingerX52F4.key? file in the C:\Program Files\Lead Pursuit\Battlefield Operations\config folder" Follow the instructions in the readme and if you have any further questions, feel free to post them up here. I found it very helpful, and even printed out the pages with the keys layouts and the joystick images with button function labels. Good luck! !coffee

  15. Starchy - take the hint - set up pust to talk and get with the modern age. I'd hate to see you try to use ACRE in Arma, sheeeit....... !slow
  16. SavageCDN =VG= LAN_WROTE ... We can also now run multiple dedicated servers but I'll need time to get that setup properly and the TCAdmin files updated. WOO HOO! This is great news! So happy they got this sorted before the BETA comes out... !gam
  17. Jager LAN_WROTE ... Guessing that it has to do with the rotation, and if one mission crashes it'll revert to the starting one. ^^ Yes - exactly that. ACR was second in rotation, never gets completed due to crashes, and reverts to US - BAF was third in rotation. I've just changed it, now it's: 1. US 2. BAF 3. ACR !hi *won't take effect until server is restarted by an admin in TCAdmin Panel - do so when ACR is ready to crash, or has been up awhile, ask an admin in TS3 or Steam.
  18. Terremer =VG= LAN_WROTE ... also i was thinking about maybe doing something like this but i dont know java and didnt know what to make. ive got shitloads of time this summer and learning java couldnt hurt so if you want help just let me know. I'm in TeamSpeak today, down in Coding channel creating an outline for this Arma gear selection app idea, and will make a proper project post later. With Java, it's not hard to make it work on Smart Phones and in a website, too, if I am not mistaken. I appreciate all the info on phones! Keep it coming!
  19. I've been getting into the idea of making Smart Phone Apps for VG that may connect gamer website content and even function in real-time with the game being played. I'm sure that even Arma 2 and the upcoming Arma 3 will allow for many functional apps for Smart Phones and Tablets, and I'd like to get an idea of what kinds of mobile platforms this gaming community and it's friends are currently using. I've got a real POS that I got on sale, a Huawei Ascend M860 (Android) on a Cricket wireless network. A terrible example, and as it's not even 4G, don't be ashamed of your tech - I've already set the bar as low as it can go for a "Smart" Phone. So what does everyone else have these days? Be sure to post up your model number - versions can vary in one product name! (usually found under Settings) **EDIT: IF YOU DON"T HAVE ONE - POLL IT! I also want to get an idea of how many even have these phones! thanks!!
  20. Operation STOLEN DAEVA Korengal Valley, Kunar Province, Saturday 4th May 2013 VETERANS-GAMING will be hosting a Join Operations Event in Arma 2: Combined Operations today, featuring the mods Advanced Combat Environment (ACE) and Advanced Combat Radio Environment (ACRE) on the CLAfghanistan map which recreates the Korengal Valley of the Kunar Province in Afghanistan as seen in the documentary, Restrepo. Over 40 soldiers and 10 pilots from the squads of LAMBS, Banterwagon, and VETERANS-GAMING will take part in a mil-sim like event using realistic military radios and gear to communicate and execute the mission. LIVE STREAM will be available on TwitchTV from various participants, and will be embeded here as they become live. Sign-ups are nearly complete, but extra positions may become available if we lose a member due to scheduling or technical issues. For all those unable to attend, please enjoy our Live Streams! SITUATION With unexpected fury Ovallestan, located in Clafghan, has exploded into a violent insurgency and guerilla warfare. It started with the downing of a US Army UH-60 Blackhawk transport helicopter, after which down-town Ovallestan turned itself inside out. Since then the guerillas have fortified Ovallestan with a number of DShKM .50 cal positions, and the establishment of four hidden bases of operation. Armed guerilla soldiers supported by light vehicles have since taken to patrolling down-town Ovallestan. The situation is dire. US Armed forces have been tasked to make a counter-push to retake the region. Their mission is to reclaim any intelligence assets from the crash site, and to identify and destroy each of the guerillas base of operations; look for camo nets, antennas, and other signs of paramilitary activity. Time is of the essence. Guerilla forces are pouring in from the mountains, if the insurgency goes unchecked, the whole region will be lost. This is as much a battle of hearts and minds as it is of territory. Ovallestan is heavily populated, avoid civilian casualties, or disrespecting their holy mosque. If the citizens loose faith in NATO efforts, they will start supporting the insurgency instead. MISSION Secure the UH-60 BlackHawk crash site, hide all dead Americans, locate all pieces of mission relevant intel. Seek out and eliminate the four Guerilla staging areas in Ovellestan; look for signs of guerilla presence, camo netting, radio antennas, military vehicles; destroy any facilities or ammo caches. Avoid all civilian casualties. 1. Secure Blackhawk wreck. 2. Destroy all four guerilla staging areas. 3. Return to Base. Full details of the Operation can be found here: Event Post Time of Event: Event Time Zone Convertor SemlerPDX's Live Stream:
  21. I like that idea - it does suck that numbers have dropped off, A3 is the hot ticket... An event could be fun, as we already know how well Insurgency runs, and most everyone knows how to play it. We could call the event "Resurgency" !lol
  22. just know that Lt. Spears is a good player - it's his name that was stolen and used for evil. It's all good, now. If you see a Lt. Spears in game, know that it's the good one - a real team player. (oh, and ^ that Lt. Speirs is awesome, too!)
  23. It's important to note that you should check through your falcon bms.cfg file if you have modified it, as this can revert after an update, and it may end up logging useless things again. Here's the info Rebel had to do again after his update: Copy and paste,the following two variable(lines) to your Falcon BMS Config file located in your USER\Config folder and save the file. It can be opened with Wordpad or Notepad. These variables prevent BMS from creating Packet logs in your User\Logs folder that are genertated when MP'ing and can become extremely huge in disk space. They are not essential to the end-user. set g_bMessageStatistics 0 set g_bEnableRakNetPacketLogger 0 !cp
  24. no, not the =VG= Lt. Speirs - but Lt. Spears - it's confusing, but there is a long time player on our server named Lt. Spears, and his name was used by this fucker. It was not really Lt. Spears, and also, of course, not =VG= Lt. Speirs.
