View Full Version : ArmA3 Wishlist and Ideas
Dont know if it was mentioned before,but i really like to the see ingame the chance to shoot with my M16 from sidekick seats of choppers like UH-60 or AH-6 !
If something ever was missing in ARMA2,then this.

My wishlist:make the AI functioning.
Maybe others want this feature or that feature and so on which is very good,but I want:
-infantry AI that works well
-AI to be able to drive well
-AI tanks that do their "tanking" stuff:p
-AI flying to actually fly and fight
Basically make the AI to use properly the toys at their disposal.I don't want ultra sophisticated maneveurs from AI but only to do their job in land&air(maybe sea too this time?).
A2CO has a good AI now but I don't want to wait a year or more again to have acceptable AI.
Examples that I hope I won't meet in 1.0 of Arma 3:
-tree-huggin choppers
-ultra advanced fighter jets that still dive bomb and tree-huggin just like copters
-tanks with belly up because of friggin rocks
-AI incapable of driving or keeping the vehicles on roads or in convoy
Also if you plan to add high tech toys please make the engine to actually support them(example in A2CO a damn MQ9 Drone has AI pilots in it because engine can't support unmanned class).

That's one feature that a dev has confirmed NOT to be in Arma3 - yet (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1933413#post1933413). They certainly know we want it, but it's apparently just one item on a long list of features they would like to implement. :)

As Rye said, NV devices (not only goggles).
The GenII devices (read here AN/PVS-4) are probably too old by the time of the game, so they probably would chose Gen III.
It would be nice, but I don't like the aspect of tacticool weapons, you know? I would put only NV Scope (if you chose this over goggles, maybe because of stability), not cowitnessing another optic. But, afterall, it should be up to the player to chose.
So, talking about attachments, in a common 5 rail gun (handguard top/bottom/left/right plus on top of the receiver), I could get the following options:
- Handguard (top): IR Illuminator/Designator, Close-combat Optic, Leaf Sight (for a Grenade Launcher, assuming it to be the M203)
- Handguard (left/right): IR Illuminator, Tactical Flashlight
- Handguard (bottom - only without grenade launcher attached, assuming it to be the M203/M320): Bipod, Forward Grip, Tactical Flashlight
- Receiver (top): Close Combat Optic, Rifle Combat Optic, Night Vision Scope, Carrying Handle.
All this assuming a rifle wich setup resembles the AR-15 platform. Additional changes may be possible due to different rifle setups.
I have in mind selecting only one of each to the five rails (four, with a GL), but some selections simply wouldn't make any sense (like putting three IR Illuminators/designators in a weapon), so you wouldn't be able to put the same attachment in different rails. Also, some attachments allow others to be put in the same rail, like the bipod and the tactical flashlight in the bottom handguard rail, that allows the forward grip too.
*sorry for possible nomenclature mistakes.

Hi,
I just want a good story!
For now, that's all.
Thank you,
-Luc-
Well thats nice and all but in my opinion thats the LAST thing BIS should focus on. Arma is a simulation of the modern day battlefield. That means that its focus is on realisticly recreating an open inviroment with gameplay that closely mimics the real world. Adding all that and then having enough time and enough creative people to come up with an original and compelling storyline is pretty much impossible. If you want that I'd recommend the new Battlefield.
I just hope a good storyline won't go at the cost of a quality product :(
need more speed movement (add skill in arma)
do not be under the impression to be an very old man
be able to enter in vehicle and eject rapidly
to change weapon rapidly ...
I need more C4 possibility
able to stick on tanks
able to throw C4
add C4 remote
not like in battlefield but something between battlefield and arma

Ai that will split into fireteams, one team will put down heavy supressive fire, the other(s) move to flank/assault enemy. Also soldiers can already bound and leapfrog, but teams should be able to do this aswel. AI can see what you see, so a camoflague implimentation that still makes the ai realistic (not super stupid and blind just because you're in combat camoflague gear in a shadow (cough far cry) would be cool.) Also ai canot see through grass, smoke, dust, walls and through the back of their head ;)
realistic body armour, ball, armour piercing and other types of rounds being included rather than just "30round STANAG", fast roping, all buildings enterable, vehicle interiors, 3d sound engine, cool visuals like stuff seen in WarFX, better vehicle armour simulation.

Improved medical system! Netcding improvements, optimisation!!!!!
Graphics
Support different graphics profile per user
I don't know about others, but even if I consider my machine powerful there are of course maps where I need to alter the settings. In my experience it depends mostly on the map, not such much about vehicles unless you've a LOT of them. I'd love to be able to choose quickly between a few presets of my graphics settings. Does not have to work in-game, going to video settings and being able to quickly select a pre-set would be fine. You know, one size doesn't fit them all thing.
Finer control over post-processing graphics settings
Be able to set HDR separately from Bloom separately from motion Blur. I like HDR, but I hate Blur. But I can't get them separately.
Texture morphing bug
There's this bug sometimes when you look down in a certain angle on the terrain and move your mouse slightly you see the texture morphing in same unnatural way (can't find the post unfortunately)
Built-in demo recording/playback functionality
Jesus that would be so great to record a game and later cut a movie of it; in-game. See COD:BO, this feature is really absolutely awesome. You can move your camera wherever you want, follow every player, vehicle etc, share your moment (no need to generate big movies all the time, demo formats are much small in size), etc.
Forrest/vegetation: fallen trees/logs
All forests I've seen in-game (ok, maybe I haven't seen them all?) all have straight up healthy trees. What about the some fallen trees, logs covering the woods, etc. Some block your way, use could crawl under them, some you can step on, etc.

Texture morphing bug
There's this bug sometimes when you look down in a certain angle on the terrain and move your mouse slightly you see the texture morphing in same unnatural way.
This is because of the parallax mapping effect. It allows a 2d texture to have 3d depth when in reality its just a 2d texture it uses some brilliant trickery to pull it off, but yes it does only work at certain angles, so what you're seeing is the effect wearing off and your eyes seeing the texture as it is in 2d.
perfect ai driving is all i need

you should real some more on that. Parallax mapping is NOT displacement mapping => no 3d depth, only the perception of it
I would want:
- interior fights (in buildings, caves, ...)
- caves, rivers, or maybe even underground tunels
- submarines
- improved reflaction (HDR or postprocess or what it is - not good now)

Good to know.And thanks for the link.I really hope it will make it.:satisfied:
My few wishes:
On AI:
1. Being able to tell the AI that his main weapon should be that Javelin / 84mm RFK, instead of a pistol / rifle.
2. AI to react on orders, even under fire... Example a tank is approaching, the AI switches to Danger mode, you order AI to board car, he runs around the car three times, going down to prone, standing up, looks through his iron sights, laying down again, running a few meters west, the south. Tank is now visible, AI has been retarded for at least 30 seconds, now he boards but all to late, you are blown out of the sky.
3. AI Should react to type of class. Medics should start heal team members without the need for SL to order healing. Anyone shouting out "Wounded" or "I'm hit" should get medics attention automatically.
4. When AI is spotting something, he should say "unkown spottet North, close, medium or far" instead of "unkown spottet 11 o clock...."
On gameplay:
1. Less bugs. Arma 2 is pretty close to perhaps the best game I have ever played (I have played CG since the early 80is). The only flaw is the countless annoyances found in the game in form of bugs.
2. Make the perfect driving / flight simulator. Flying helos and planes in ARMA is not "the real deal". Flight in Arma should be less arcade and more real life simulators. Flight today is almost to easy and to hard.
3. Netcode need some redoing, warping should not be an issue with todays broadband connections, computers and servers.
4. Voice activated orders. Instead of pressing 3 different buttons, scrolling the mouse AI should react voice activated orders: "Disembark, board car, suppressive fire front, Team with flank left etc."

I dont understand you... How it's impossible?
CWC, Resistance, Harvest Red and BAF (first missions) were well done and demonstrated than OFP/ARMA is a good game.
In fact, the campaign and scenarios should show us the game at its best.
It's like an introduction to the game... It's like a showcase.
Nothing suppose to be better than that...

I would add more assuredness of weapon and less timidity of firing. Nothing worse then watching your perfectly placed AT guy watching that enemy tank approach the ambush point but he decides to go into the weapon switch shuffle dance. Hold your AT weapon unless there is an imminent soft target enemy in the immdiate area or you gotta run for cover (AT should be dropped even).

Do you know what i have alsways been dreaming of?
Vapor trails for (high caliber) weapons!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18dOzeDtpr4&hd=1#t=31s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAOyY6yO9MQ&hd=1#t=3s
They tend to be visible almost every shot from different angles and are the key element for the Spotter and Shooter for observing the bullet trajectory and bulletdrop.
This feature completes the sniping experience in Arma III, next to possible 3d scopes ( due to RtT)
Vapor trails and heat mirage (http://www.wunderground.com/data/wximagenew/h/Horace/137.jpg) (which already exists in OA in an very simplified version) are valuable additions to a realy immersive Arma III
In addition, i dont know any FPS shooter\sim that features this, so this would be an other revolutionnary feature never seen before. And i think this thought is a little motivation ;)

I'd love to see more support for moving/fighting inside buildings and underground. Other than that, my main wish is for a stable (as bug-free as possible!) platform that continues to enable/support user-generated content.
There are a lot of good ideas in this thread...I hope the devs are taking notes!

As already mentionend, a knife or fist-usage / use of hands in general would be quite useful. E. g. for carrying some stuff around (loading, unloading) or clearing the path from little obstacles (free a door of some crap to get into the room behind....). Some other thing to get rid off: If your only have a handgun, you always running around with the drawn weapon - like always beeing in alert-status. So please make something like "holster sidearm" available as default.

Those animation names follow a precise scheme (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/AnimationTitles).
I would like to have burning buildings. Fire could be ignited by a Bomb blast, RPG, wood houses surrounded by wood should catch fire if trees were burning etc.
Fire should continually damage buildings until fire is extinguished.

So we need people to play firemen in missions then?
So we need people to lay firemen in missions then?
Good question. I havent thought it through totally to the end, but maybe BIS could include Civilian firefighters and a firefighter truck, e.g. a URAL Fire engine...
I just thought of how funny it would be: Sniper in a big building hiding, you cant get him out of there, so just put the whole building on fire :D

How about caves and tunnels underground? seeing the underwater scenes for arma3 I dont want to wait a year :D is it ready yet?:)
Is there going to be alpha and beta testing for us to take part in?
That was the only thing missing in my view for Arma2.
Arma3 is going to be 10/10 just like Arma2
And yes the 7th Cavalry will be recruiting for arma3 also.
We have over 130+ members in Arma2 alone. 330+ in total.

It's already possible in ARMA 2, the Tora Bora user-created map has some caves in it. Still, it would be nice to crawl through some caves and bump into an enemy. ;)

May 31 2011, 12:50
I dont have that map, but I hope we see them in vanilla Arma3.
Using them for cover would be great also, tanks and aviation outside gives infantry an out if needed. CQB in caves would be fun times.

May 31 2011, 12:54
Dropping some BLU-113s onto a cave would be nice. Maybe even some flamethrowers to flush its occupants out. :D
they would be cool to finally have the helicopters of the 160soar as the MH-47G and MH-60K.
Also can ride the choppers and the bay doors and operate the winches

May 31 2011, 12:57
MOAB's were used, we had them in our mod pack for a while, they were massive but the sounds and animations were a little off. but it was a big blast, dropping one of those in cave complex would leave nothing alive :) we loaded them into C-130 it was massive.
deeper sound effects like ACE would be good for vanilla Arma3 also.
what about level design?
Playing ArmA2, I think the environment is rather empty. When I say empty,
is that it feels nothing, the city emits no atmosphere, it seem to have ever lived.
*** My opinion ***
i have all Played Stalker game, which features graphic engine similarity ArmA2
engine, when we play, we feel that nature lives, he something happened here or here, it is held spellbound by the atmosphere.
Maybe this is the effect of DirectX10, but I do not know, even if the premises
looks abandoned, it leaves appear a certain life.

Also (an idea for the engine) I know people are always mentioning the discrepancies between a model of an object and its collision model, could the engine be modified to see these two things as one in the same? That way you get a collision model that is in 100% accordance with the actual image displayed onscreen and you only have to render one model perobject instead of two all time.
the engine doesn't render the collision cage. You don't need to modify the engine to have proper collisions (although adding to it so when facing a wall the avatar lowers the gun would be nice), just make sure the said cage is properly defined in the .p3d.
Making the cage the same as visual lod 0 is a bad idea, since there might be a lot of information there that is really unneeded (surplus).

So I couldn't bring myself to read the 30 pages of Idea's but after the first 6 or so pages I think all the features people suggested are good idea's but, I wish that when I'm sitting in the copilot seat of a Blackhawk or Little Bird, that I can switch controls from pilot to pilot. I mean also this feature would be nice on planes like the C-130, but mainly just the helo's, even the Apache because the gunner could fly the Apache.
Sorry if someone already said it, but this has been bothering me since day 1 of playing Arma.

As PuFu said there's really no benefit in that; nor does it seem even plausible, since using high-poly visual meshes for collision detection will cause huge performance hits (computing collisions for complex geometry takes a lot of CPU time). I think really all that needs to be done is fit the collision geometry more closely to the actual models, which sometimes doesn't occur (like with weapon proxies).

Nevermind the issue with the soldiers hands not connecting with the ladder-steps. The real ugly issue is that you remain in the ladder animation even when only your last foot is on the ladder, so you're balancing on one foot with your hands in the air.

That's the sort of thing that doesn't bother me one tiny bit. Getting up the ladder is the key thing - not how gorgeous you look while doing it :D I'm more interested in things like dense vegetation having a cumulative hiding effect from AI (ie several trees will hide you from notice more then one tree even if you're next to & not behind, simply because of blending of shape). Taking into account the camo of the unit, the shadowing, visual confusion etc.

Jun 1 2011, 09:30
Imagine the difference in how big a target you are when comparing a realistic transition from ladder to roof, compared to the very odd solution that Arma2 is using. You are probably 0.5 - 0.6 meters higher up in the air than if you would have done a realistic transition.
It's been said, but my wishlist is:
- Transitions from and into vehicles, no teleportation
- Why can we open car-doors for cover on civilian, non-drivable cars, but not the one's we drive?
- One M4, and lots of optional attachments, not 20 M4's
- Weapon jamming, I think it adds a lot of immersion
- Selectable gear in the editor (like my screenshot a few posts back.)
- Shoot from vehicles
And of course, graphical optimization and better netcode :)
-More modules
-More close quarter weapons,more aircrafts, and more civilian vehicles
-More complex gameplay
-more advance AI
I think that is my wishlist for ARMA 3

If there's going to be SVD's then a proper hand cradle model, and some warfare module variations, and some form of ai respawn option from the editor and the implementation of some features from gl4/slx/dac, and a few more shapur sized/dense maps.
And finally an optional (module?) ai command system that can utilize what ever piece I place on the map intelligently... So I just place units down and some how magically they organize themselves and attack/defend/patrol or what ever depending on what other opposition units or triggers I place on the map along side them.

release, dont release a sort of alpha/beta version full of horribles bugs cuz is a fail. this modus operandi make the people leave the game. and personally i dont have nothing against more people in arma 3.
oh and if you will release a demo, same thing. make a good demo without stupid bugs as you guys never did.
before an arguable reply: im not saying you should release a game without any, even the smallest, bug(utopia). im saying guys you clearly made some mistakes with a1 and a2....;)
for the love of a3 learn something from your mistakes :bounce3:
:pray::pray::pray::pray::pray:
Make bolt rifles manually cockable with mouse 1, like in Red Orchestra.
that would be indeed nice, but i personally would like to have the animations for such things as well as other weapons. At least some generic ones per class would suffice.

Another thing I hope they do in Arma3 is the ability to use the proper scopes/sights of ALL weapons, there are several turrets and the like in Arma2/OA where you cant, aim down sight making them quite a bit less accurate. I would hope that BIS wouldn't feel the need to "nerf" various weapons as they usually balance themselves out on the battlefield IRL.

Implement a better more user and time friendly interface for selection of mods. Even switching between scenarios can require mods to be changed. Perhaps an auto-detect mechanism that could call mods when required would be able to be achieved. This would be the best.
Then you wouldnt have to quit and deactivate a mod that you had open for one scenario in order to continue on with another that you had proviously started because a mod is missing or extra.
It is a pain at times to have to shut down your game to turn on a mod. The new mod interface introduced with A2:OA is a step in the right direction....but I still hope it can be improved. I am not sure what the implications of this are from a technical perspective though.

My opinion:
- improve NetCode
- improve game physics
- better effects and sounds
- better campaign (like in OFP, campigns in Arma1/2 were totaly unplayable)
- less arcade style (switching between soldiers etc. ...)

The reason is something to do with initialisation, but, I suspect it could be changed. Re-initialise the game from inside the game, don't load all the session dependencies on game load only.
I mean, once the game is up & running, keep the same session throughout, but once a flag is read, say a MP addon list, then reinitialise the game internally. Even if that initialisation is a game reboot in all but name only, I think it would be better recieved than the current system, which is to rely on the user to reboot the game after having manually set the addon mix.
Vehicles, objects should be rendered even in great distances, with minimal detail for example a rectangle than later a pixel.
It would be a good feature just to know if there is something in the distance, especially when piloting a plane.
For now only the terrain can be seen on a certain altitude/distance and objects simply disappear.

More of a dream rather than a wish or idea. I don't expect this to happen just because I ask and I can think of enough reasons why this wouldn't be added. I made this suggestion in the Game 2 forum & I suggest it again for all of the future titles, small tradition from this loyal customer ;);
Dirt & Weathering: For some added immersion seeing dust & dirt on objects after coming in contact them. Mud being formed by rain and also leaving traces on clothing perhaps. Walking inside a building with muddy shoes leaving prints behind.
Why? Immersion, that's all. I would love to see the environments becoming more 'interactive' with your character, vehicles and objects.

I would want to see more animations inside vehicles, like that the character accually turns the steering wheel and stuff.
And I want that vehicles get dynamic damage and not a health bar. for example if you drive a car and a small charge hits a door, only the place around the door get damaged.
And for god sake make the helicopters more endurable, I dont know how many times I have died by lucky shots from assault rifles.

Im in love with arma overall, the open and large maps etc but i have just one main thing:
Stop the ai from shooting and seeing through walls, and stop his ability to take a single head shot on moving targets that pass in front of a window at 3000m. I dont care about new content at all, i dont care about new levels, or graphics or weapons or anything else. I love arma, but its broken, i dont care what anyone else says, ive seen it myself far to many times that left no doubt whatsoever.
Just fix the ai and you'll have my money again (ill pay the full rate too), great game otherwise, but after so long playing, this is one thing that tends to kill it dead. Its not the graphics or lack of scope of the game, its the ai. Other bugs and problems i can live with, but this is fundamental to the game play.
Oh and to whom it may concern, everyone ive met that has been turned off by arma was turned away by the long travel times to the conflict zones. Strikingly, almost none that i encounter seem to be aware of the ability to parachute from the flagpoles at the spawn points. Perhaps a tool tip or such next time around might help these folks?
oh and id full on hire the guys that made the insurgency maps. keep up the good work tho, you've got a good platform here.

So you're saying that Domination, a user-made mission, is making people uninstall the game because it doesn't have a pop-up message that tells about each of its custom-scripted features that are explained in the briefing, the first thing that you should read in any mission.

Since the swimming/diving thing has been implemented, maybe this is already in the game, but:
Allow swimming units to get out of the swimming animation and stand up when they reach shallow water. It's really irritating to have to swim right onto the beach like a turtle before you can stand up.
Also:
Change 'weapon on back' animation to 'Slung on front'. It would save time when switching weapons and also be more realistic.

Action keys (pick up weapons etc), Climb down/up ladders automatically, one key to enter vehicles and specific keys for specific positions like F1,F2 etc
It doesnt need to be authentic (yeah it looks like BF) it just needs to be handy
Rolling wheels for helicopters with toggle brake action/ key.
Wheels flex (Rotary and Fixed) and absorb shock, like in cars and tanks.
Twin engine aircraft have independent engine damage.
(IE. one engine gets hit but the other stays on. Maybe have reduced thrust when one engine is down.)
Accurate/working gauges in the cockpit. Not just the MFCDs that only display the artificial horizon/compass.
(Artificial horizon, air speed, rotor RPM, vertical speed [very important in avoiding settling with power], working altimeter [MSL & AGL] and compass.)
Have the thrust from helicopters be perpendicular to the angle of the rotor disc, not level with the airframe.
(http://www.aviastar.org/foto/puma.gif you can see in this pic that the rotors are tilted forward and not perfectly horizontal. RKSL's Puma demonstrates what I mean perfectly.)
Keep auto-rotation the same as in Vanilla ArmA2/OA.
Add settling with power/vortex ring state, please?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZXDWBoXjbk
Rotor strike does not make the whole aircraft explode, rather, depending on the severity, make the rotors disintegrate and the aircraft completely lose thrust or lose control/wobble. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jix7N-uT0J0
The ability to turn the HUD off completely.

1. Better fog. Fog appears to be of static brightness as overcast sets in, meaning we get quite a darkening effect on the clouds and ground, with a glowing white fog. Especially with high altitude sun, we can assume that fog is below global cloud cover, and thus receives less light to reflect.
2. Better handling of view distance. You know that old fades in as you turn your head thingie.
3. Moon in front of the stars, rather than vice versa - sorry - had to :D Similarly, zooming on stars shouldn't make them bigger. Good optics may make them brighter, but never bigger.
4. Unflipping feature. Action by default on all the smaller vehicles, like bikes, motorcycles, and ATVs. HMMWVs could have too, but would require more people to simultaneously perform the action to work.
5. Improved salvage trucks. If these are able to salvage a vehicle, doesn't that mean they have a crane or winch or something? If so, they could have action to unflip even heavier vehicles.
6. Ability to raise and lower seat of vehicles. Forward/backward would be nice too. You can't use the side windows in some vehicles, like MTVRs. The old 5t trucks were better in this respect.
7. The commands setFog and setOvercast should be able to run in parallel. Currently we have to divide time and run them in sequence, or the last (I think) issued command will fail to perform.
8. Also, the command setRain should work statically a few seconds (about 5-10 secs?) before the engine tries to override it. Currently we have to employ very dense loops (0.2'ish) to avoid the visual distance fading effect changing back and forth.
9. Proper "call for fire" system, and need to setup preregistrations (by mission design or have to do it while playing), and/or the need to walk the rounds to target by adjustment fires. Typed text fields for coordinates, with support for polar mode (observer pos, distance, angle), rather than point&click artillery. Being a successful infantryman, crewman, or pilot require some skill, while using artillery - probably the most destructive force on the battlefield - is left a nobrainer.
10. Simulation illumination (iirc, shot M203 and illumination flares etc) should create #lightpoint. Currently AI is blind to normal flares, although they help us. AI should also use flares intelligently if they have them. And while there, fix the floating point errors on the #lightpoint object (small light values cease to work at altitudes, same happens with particles btw).
Well, enough for now. :)

Don't know if it's already been suggested, but improved facial animations would be nice. BIS' current full-body animations are already impressive, even if they need a little bit of smoothing out, but facial movement updating would be good. It's a bit strange in Harvest Red when Shaftoe's talking to you with the thousand yard stare :p
Now that we have SDVs and SCUBA diving, can we get a Lotus Esprit added as a submersible vehicle? :p
In all seriousness, I'd like to see move in cargo and 6DOF functionality added to air units. It would be nice to have someone lean out the side door of the Mi-8 to guide the pilot during slingload ops.
More dialogs. Not the "What's the weather forecast?"-shit=P
No modular filled Towns - enable it by default on every Map and every City (when player/s is/are within certain range) with people, cars, busses and other transport. Let them use Cars, planes, choppers, boats, trains.

Dear ARMA3 Bis Devs:
Since I've been playing your games trough years I have realised that I do not like anything like a HUD or menus system within game...
So I would appreciate you may consider to get rid of these HUDs in veteran or expert mode...
Actually in my clan we disable any graphic menu as far as we can but this can't be achievable at 100%...
For example... I have to press "g" key to access inventory menu... and there is when I think we could see hands of self character dealing with his gear...
Not to mention the option for changing silencer, lights or scopes on rifles... closer the way that crysis did... viewing the weapon... but with no huds...
Personally I would love this... getting closer to a sim where there won't be any visual help when you are on a veteran or expert mission ... pretty cool for me...
I know that I am asking too much, but what's this thread for?
Saludos y gracias de todos modos!!!!

What if I want to explore places on the map on my very own? What if I want to make a "deserted city" scenario? What if you make a a mission about a conventional conflict - not an asymmetric - with civilians largely absent from the AO? What if someone wants to make post-apocalyptic/zombie type missions? What if the unnecessary wondering civilians uses up a lot of resources of my not very up-to-date config?
I'd say the modules are quite good ideas, we can keep them, and it takes 2 clicks to put one on the map
While I'm just as excited as the next arma fanatic about Arma 3, screenshots look awesome, but I still feel all this high-tech crap kind of makes Arma like nerfed Star Wars game. I would love to see BI redo OPF and a timeline between 1975 and 1990.

The ability to lower and holster weapons, specifically pistols, has already been mentioned.
But I'd like to focus on the empty pistol holsters. If they're not going to show the pistols in them, then can we get "full sized" pistol holsters like the M9 holster with the dust cover so you can't tell whether there's a pistol in them or not?
My absolute number one wish for Arma 3 is entry animations for vehicles.
Real ones, where the Tank crew has to climb on top of the tank and then enters (if it has no side or back door) and where it's not just a crappy and short animation and a teleport.
Take the game "Planetside" as a positive reference regarding the vehicle entry animations.
I'd rather have fewer vehicles, but these animations. They are paramount to me in regards of realism.
Chemical rounds! :shine:
ohh and gasmasks
* C2 (command and control simulation) - voice, radios, sight etc, constributing to:
* Morale and unit cohesion - units out of contact do not receive info on friendly/enemy units, objective updates estc.
* Armour penetration - you shouldn't be able to blow up an M1A1 by hitting the front turret repeatedly with 40mm grenades.
* Realistic handling of electronic systems in vehicles.
* Ability to fire while jogging!

Improved CQB
Keep the simulation feel!
Realistic mount and dismount animations, units actually using doors and climbing in
MUCH improved AI
Dynamic damage modeling for vehicles
Dynamically destructible buildings
Realistic weapon systems, disposable AT launchers for example (at last)
Better terrain, like real mountains that you can't just drive over with any vehicle in a matter of seconds.
Lo que postean está muy bien pero en los vehiculos en los espejos derechos & izquierdos se deberia ver por ellos ya que en todos los armas siempre dejan ese gran error de no poder ver lo que hay detras,y en arma 3 una de las fotos publicadas tampoco se ven los espejos retrovisores.
Tambien tendrian que ponerle mas realismo a los personajes players, los muñecos deberian tener mas graficos mas reales ya que parecen muñecos deformados.

What you post is fine, but the vehicles on the right & left mirror should look for them because in all the guns always leave the big mistake of not seeing what's behind, and Weapon 3 of the photos published are no mirrors.
They should also put more realism to the characters players, the dolls should have more graphics and more realistic dolls that look deformed.
More detail on the vehicles, with more realism thanks
-Animations for actions such as combat rolling, diving, sliding, taking cover, peeking from cover, blind firing, etc
-Make the game not need a super PC to run
-Better ballistics e.g. wind deflection, and allow better scope adjustment
-let you choose and customize weapons like army of two (but not to the extent that you can put a 7.62 barrel on a 5.56 rifle, just so that you can change stock and rails etc)
-better vehicle damage models
-getting shot should actually throw a person backwards or knock them down
-more realistic building and terrain damage
-dismemberment
-lots of weapons. you can never have enough
-character customization
-ability to dig trenches
-better ragdoll physics
-better particle effects
-better vehicle performance and handling

-stamina system
-shellshock effects
-better suppressing fire effects, e.g. your character panics and can't aim or move properly
-needs waaaaay better reloading animations then arma2
-more CQB combat
-make all buildings occupiable
-let you capture enemies
-better bomb disposal: should actually take skill
-let you knock out enemies
-hand to hand combat: Some units are more skilled then others
-Less-lethal weapons
-Ability to knock unconcious
-Fast grenade button instead of having to switch to them
-ability to have weapons prezeroed to different ranges
-Should be able to carry a second primary weapon on back
-weight should affect movement speed
-better stealth system
-different ammunition types
-ability to make booby traps
-enviromental damage e.g. running into a wall at full speed will hurt, trying to sprint up the stairs or on rough ground can trip you up.
-fast roping from helicopters
-rappeling on walls
-climbing e.g. up buildings, on ice, up rock, even up trees
-better wounding system like ACE but more advanced
-Better AI initiative e.g. auto healing or suppressing fire etc
-custom formations

PuFu, -> Wishlist and Ideas. No need to critize a post like this.
Actually i think most of this stuff is possible, without needing a super PC.
`
-getting shot should actually throw a person backwards or knock them down
That was a Hollywood effect. When get shot you just maim and falling limp. Check "Wound Ballistic" video and see why.
-dismemberment
How can we deal with the dismembered teammate whom is still alive?
-lots of weapons. you can never have enough
Yeah, count all the Russian, Chinese, British, Belgium, Israel, American, Korean, South Africans, whatever-ans for gun-freaks. This is not centralism, this is war, grab the soldier's standard issue weapons and adapt with it.
-better particle effects
I demand it much much more than other visual effects, ever. Dynamic 3D volume particle and able to block AI/player's version is also important.
-proper magazine models for weapons e.g. if you have a beta-c in an m4 it shouldn't look like a 30rnd stanag
As well as making separations between magazines and cartridges. When running out of ammo, the empty magazine is still useful for refilling later on.
-better suppressing fire effects, e.g. your character panics and can't aim or move properly
Good enough for ARMA2, but can be better when AI can decide to ignore the suppressive firing or not.
-needs waaaaay better reloading animations then arma2
If according to "a lot of guns" wish, BIS may need 10 more years to finish all the animations for it.
-let you capture enemies
Then how to restrain him? And what for?
-let you knock out enemies
-Less-lethal weapons
-Ability to knock unconcious
With less-lethal weapons, sure. With melee, good luck with it.
-hand to hand combat: Some units are more skilled then others
Same as above. Gun talks louder than fist.
-better stealth system
With a proper camo you can be stealth enough. However, no matter how stealthy you are, FLIR can still be proud.
-different ammunition types
I also demands it a lot. As well as dynamic ammunition loadout for every individual magazines, such as a magazines full of race-grade cartridges for sniping, or ball rounds with tracer rounds for support-firing.
-ability to make booby traps
Too small to step on it, but good for CQB, perhaps.
-enviromental damage e.g. running into a wall at full speed will hurt, trying to sprint up the stairs or on rough ground can trip you up.
You made my day with this idea.
-better wounding system like ACE but more advanced
Yea, try to be a field-surgeon and pinch out bullets in really bloody way. Some players will puke and forget it.
-More civilians
Not for standing and doing nothing. They must have their own lifestyles in local.
-spreading fire like in FC2 and the ability to put it out
That depends on rifle barrel and mechanism. The better the smaller spreading, but have to based on physical way, not random script.
-Burning people
Law of Geneva will not tolerate this.
-Weapon jamming
-Weapons breaking e.g. getting shot, barrel full of water, catastrophic failure
Just like FarCry2, but I want to be more physic based and more possible weapon failures.
-3d map editor like in FC2
CryEngine based editor sounds better.
-opening and closing vehicle doors
My second most demanding detail.
-3 sided battles
Or multi-sided battled with possible renegade/betrayal activity. Like a Psy-Ops warfare.
-AC-130
If so, I want C-17 and E-3C AWACS as well.
-bolt action and pumpaction reloading animations
Both Closed Bolt and Opened Bolt animation, as well as mechanism insides.
-when a unit has lower fatigue or is being suppressed, they can fumble a reload and make it slower or jam their weapon
"Panting when reloading" is a very bad idea, I support this idea.
-different AI behaviour e.g.super alert, or just jumpy, less alert, basicly asleep, bloodthirsty, trying to play the hero etc depending on stamina, support, moral etc
I love different characteristics people in this game, but for the military, soldier discipline is always a first priority.
-attack dogs
Please add cats for misdirecting attack dogs.
-disguises e.g. dress as a civilian and you won't get noticed if you behave normally
License and ID, please. Said by security.
-weapon slings
If Physic-based weapon slings, I support this.
-bullet in the chamber after a reload gives you an extra bullet e.g. 30 + 1
Support also, but not all the weapons are the same, like open-bolted weapons, or belt-fed machine guns.
-3D vegetation
-better ground textures
That's against "build a game not for Super PC only".
-no option for 3rd person or crosshair. it's supposed to be a milsim.
To be more adaptable in option, game system or rules, and be alternative.
-rain changes dirt to mud, creates landslides etc also floods rivers and makes ground slippery
Physic-based slipping, not random slipping.
-getting shot should actually throw a person backwards or knock them down
That was a Hollywood effect. When get shot you just maim and falling limp. Check "Wound Ballistic" video and see why.
Yeah Newton's law of motion, and your muscles seize up. What wound ballistic video? :confused:

You can PM me if you want.
Debriefing statistics screen should be bigger and show more information like these:
Patch version
Difficulty settings that was used in mission
Not only "Your kills", but also other (human) players kills.
Savegame should always include one .bak (backup) file including the second last savegame just in case savegame corruption happens to the newest save. In case of corruption this save could be used by just removing the .bak extension.
Possibility to skip cutscenes (if any will be added) with key or keycombination. It's a waste of time watching same cutscenes over and over if you like to re-play same missions.
Make a decision if you use the word "Task" or "Objective" for same thing in official missions:
In Arma2 for example if you press M for map then, you will see a list of Tasks and when their status will change you will get screenmessages like:
NEW TASK ASSIGNED:
CURRENT TASK:
TASK ACCOMPLISHED:
But when you complete mission in Debriefing screen those Tasks are suddenly called Objectives.
Ability for server to automatically record last played session and possibility to save it for playback them with ingame player. With ingame player only no compression is needed since it is not real videofile but only some date and coordinates actually. This feature is useful for creating walkthroughs or for identifying cheaters in PvP. There is such a feature in game like Ghost Recon, IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles, IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 and Richard Burns Rally.

People don't fly when they get hit by a bullet, they just collapse out of shock or injury. Seriously look it up on youtube or something there are plenty of clips where someone takes a bullet, generally their legs just collapse from beneath them and they fall over.
It's obvious using F=MA and Impulses, and the 3rd Law. A bullet when fired doesn't send the person flying, firing a NATO assault rifle is like having someone poke you in your shoulder it most certainly doesn't send you flying, if a bullet could knock someone 2 metres back like they do in the movies then the gun that fired the bullet would easily bruise the person shouldering it.

'Tis true :)
If a bullet were to hit a person with enough force to push them several meters, then generally that bullet goes straight through the body, taking with it most of it's inertia, but leaving behind a messy hole.
Might as well chip in with a couple of thoughts :)
Must haves (in my opinion):
1. Characters hands holding door mounted / vehicle guns properly. This is a real bug bear and has quite a hit on the immersion in the game. Seeing the soldiers hand on their lap while the gun in front of them fires and swivels looks poor frankly.
What I'd like to see is this:
Skip to the 1.07 minute mark and it shows a terrific animated door gunner actually holding and aiming the door gun.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73nRw6YcH1w
The downside I guess, is doing this for all of the variety of guns on vehicles in the game would be very time consuming but in terms of immersion and looking right, it's something I'd love to see implemented.
2. Better CQB. Notably better reaction times to gunfire and near misses.
3. A system similar to that of Full Spectrum Warrior in terms of positioning / stacking individual or groups of soldiers near building corners / walls/ vehicles / cover etc.
4. Maybe a few more waypoint selections such as Garrison where the AI infantry will enter a building and take up positions near windows and doorways. And a Secure waypoint for an area of land where they take up defensive positions actively seeking out and using nearby cover / concealment.
Not exactly a must have but a nice plus:
5.With PhysX, vehicle aerials reacting to the vehicles movement.
Hoping for but probably won't happen but crossing my fingers for:
Some simple house clearing commands a la Rogue Spear. Only two options would really be needed: Breach > Grenade > Clear and Breach > Flashbang > Clear.
To use either click on the door you want breached or by selecting a building from the map screen, the AI breaches the nearest suitable door.
What I hope doesn't happen:
With the new animation system I hope that the movement doesn't resemble other FPS with kiting / strafing that looks like soldier models are skating on ice. What I like about Arma is that the models have a feeling of weight and seem more grounded in their environment. I'd hate to lose that feeling.

IMHO, there would not be that much work to do in the animation part, only in the scripting (the animation to hold a M2 and a MK19 would be pretty the same, as an example). The 10 years old Ghost Recon featured such animations, albeit in dismounted weapons.
Altitude and heading hold for both fixed wing and rotary aircraft.

Why was this direct at me? I already know. :p
I meant that when you shoot someone, it should be more obvious, like they should jerk backwards or something, or if you shoot them in the right shoulder it should throw off their aim

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lp3HD3RQOY&feature=player_embedded Or better blood splatter? (I can't stop watching these videos, ninja rabbits!) If they were hit they should look like they've been hit. E.g. holding the wound or limping, falling over injured (muscles seizing up or not being able to physically walk), facial expression of pain or something similar. But other than that, with physX and a better animation system it should be easier to detect when you hit someone. Good job on that BIS, loved the video.
I meant that when you shoot someone, it should be more obvious, like they should jerk backwards or something, or if you shoot them in the right shoulder it should throw off their aim
Unless heavy-ish caliber you won't be doing much jerking, you just sort of seize up (muscles anyway) If it's strong enough to jerk you likely won't be using that arm.
I meant that when you shoot someone, it should be more obvious, like they should jerk backwards or something, or if you shoot them in the right shoulder it should throw off their aim
Good point, it's annoying to shoot someone and their only reaction is "arggrh" and then a bit more weapon sway lol. Though I certainly wouldn't want to see it overdone.

#1 ability to lean out of the window of vehicle (simply default q, and optionally turning on freelook while doing so, so noone needs to press alt twice)
#2 ability to choose on which side you want to disembark (direction+action key) //already sugested
#3 Heat haze (21s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7_JcR_lj-I) depending on weather/world
#4 adjustable player model (body proportions, variable faces) - eh, keep on dreaming
#5 according netcode -> could player data, like custom faces be synchronised while in briefing instead of actual game? Same with pre-loading models maybe?
#6 something like very low LOD to draw certain type of objects beyond draw distance set in graphical options (I hate why enemies "pop out" when I scan&zoom)
#7 Maybe implementing teamspeak client ingame? Would be a golden solution. Needs straight cooperation between TS3 developers and BI.
#8 6DOF in all vehicles (in terms of TrackIR/freetrack).
#9 More dust! And sand! And even more dust! In dust.
#10 Updating that list in first post, and maybe a developer call on which suggestions may be added, which can and will be added, and which are not even considered.

Off-topic but damn, if that game didn't feature anthropomorphic rabbits, it would be fricking awesome, in a sort of Assassin's Creed way.
I'm pretty sure nobody mentioned this,
I don't know if this is possible in RL or not, but it's hella handy for RPG/general MP missions:
Please enable aircrafts to go backwards (even if ultra slow) or atleast make a vehicle which can pull/push an aircraft back/forward.

I don't see the issue...many games have had anthro characters and there wasn't much of an issue....Ratchet and Clank? Conkers Bad Fur Day even?
After having seen this picture: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=196649733715098&set=a.196649517048453.46077.192181357495269&type=1&theater, I am suddenly a bit afraid that we will once again have to choose between laser or flashlight, but this time with the ability to change it on the fly.
I really hope that it will not be the case and that we will be able to have both at the same time, with this time a separate key for the laser and the flashlight, so that we will be able to turn on only the laser, only the flashlight, or both the laser and the flashlight at the same time.
Also, now that we will have a physic engine, i' d like to have a key to kick in doors. It' s very annoying to press open door and to have the door open towards you, pushing you away.
"If furry (anthro-freak, not anthro community) are joining wars, then humanity is going screwed."
As for the door system, I hope they act like Rainbow 6: Raven Shield. Which can be opened a tiny crack to throw grenade into it, instead to open it entirely.
Sure, it would be cool to be able to open doors smoothly with the mousewheel, Raven Shield style but i don' t see the suggestion as realistic as it would require the mouse wheel, unless BIS completely overhaul the contextual controls.
Adding a key that would play a door kicking animation seems more likely to be introduced to me, like Arma2 added the possibility to vault over fences, and it would already be quite a nice step forward imo.

I know you specified 3D glasses, but have you checked out the IZ3D (http://www.iz3d.com/) drivers? Gives you 3D gameplay, for free if you use the coloured glasses option. Works really well in ArmA, with a little setting up. If you choose to use the free setting for coloured glasses, do yourself a favour and get some good quality red/cyan ones, should only cost a few bucks, Ebay is a good source.
I managed to get very playable gameplay out of it, and even managed to achieve proper eye separation when going to scopes/ironsights, meaning I had to close one eye to aim :)
But, it's an eyestrain. After a few days I just stopped. Also, it's of limited practical actual use other than the initial cool factor.

I can cast my mind back to the days of 3D shutter glasses.
I had a pair and NVidia drivers supported stereoscopic for shutter glasses (before they stopped and marketed the new 3D things minus shutter glasses! :confused:).
Anyway ... I remember a Nvidia driver stereo updated released that when I used them with Ghost Recon 1 finally they managed to sort out being able to view normally through 3D and also zoom and aim with cross-hair and everything perfectly aligned in full 3D, this then worked fine with Raven Shield (Oh how I loved Raven Shield in 3D).
Unsure what driver version but we are talking 2003 time :)
I hope that in some ways this gets better support for optics in 3D, Im unsure how much its down to the developers and Nvidia to support better, but a consideration in 3D would be good, esp optics with aiming and zoom.
The point im making is back then Optics were miss aligned in 3d so it was "shut one eye to aim" .. and then an update driver came and it was fixed. Things have changed again so I cant speak for now.

All these things are ok but superfluous. In my opinion, all arma 3 needs is a brand new engine to keep the gameplay more fluid and immersive. Maybe a better netcode yeah and of course better AI behavior.

IMPLEMENTATION OF A SYSTEM SKILL
Implementation of a system of skill, more shots are fired, the distance and how many and where they are going to sign, depending on where you hit, thesystem gives you more skill points, you have more skill than when he shoots you good, AS IN REALITY!
don't work if you fire a magazine to 1 mt of your enemy and the system give you skill point.
Can upper the skill for example to a shooting training field, that is not bad idea

Well, if I understand you correctly, your system will allocate skill points for being a good shot right? To what end? What will we do with these points?
Suppression is also a skill, and only very occasionally results in a hit :)
BTW, I never got any skill points when I shot weapons in reality ;)

Less shots with good point give you skill for easy shoot in the future or at end of session, i mean for training, there will be a maximum possible score of skill will example, the standard of ArmA2 we have now, I thought I too at the speed of change of load, it will be implemented with the skill, the dexterity that one takes the field in reality is also this, i think is not bad, add the time, number of shot, point of shot and system calculate your total points and give you a personal skill, shit i think is very realistic, for example, if you start to shoot with real weapons and to make a comparison, try to make a shooting contest competition, of course, people who will make the competition will be better than you to shoot and make shots to score. Is not bad, i love weapons and professional warfare simulations.
Is a chance to love even more simulations, however, to the detriment of other people who want a simple game, but fuck, this will become a game with balls! and if people will want to take the gun and shoot and shoot with incredible easy, going to buy another game, but it is also the possibility to market a unique, incredible and rare game! i mean mine think of Implementation of a system skill and other, for example shoot into a vehicles if vechicles can permit that

Yes i know, but, if want try to play with maximum skill can do..for a part of game, for example, campaing, personal, i never do campaign in the armaII or armaII dragon rising, player versus player can feel more, for personal skill point you versus other player, i think Bohemia can add that on pvp mode, is not bad idea if they don't want loose parts of market for "only for professinal" is a good idea for pvp, what think about that?

Sorry to keep bothering you, but how do you mean? Can you keep both eyes open and the sight is only infront of your right eye, or do you have to close one eye to aim?
The reason for me to ask is that aimpoints, reflex and other sights like that are ment to be used with both eyes open.

As a long time ArmA pilot, also using other flying sims (MS flightsim, IL2, Falcon 4.0, etc.) I would LOVE to have airspeed given in KNOTS indicated (kias) rather than KPH. That's a ground speed number. It makes it so much easier to think, plan approaches and land when you have a real world number for your airspeed. And also, to have Altitude given that's ASL rather than AGL. I know that exists now, but it's not displayed on any HUD that I know of. But with ASL altitude, it's easier to maintain a level flight path, both for human and AI.
Also I know that A2/OA simulates wind direction for smoke etc. don't know if it affects aircraft. But it should. I should have to deal with xwinds on approach.
Just sayin!

I'm into aviation as well, but I have to say no. At least not mandatory, and not as the system is now. Let the overlay GUI show in whatever units you prefer, and for this AGL is just fine. I propose the following changes/updates:
1) Let the GUI be as it is today. It's easy, language coherent, and fits the grid of the map, despite not being accurate for western planes (I know AN-2 comes with metric instrumentation, no idea about fighters).
2) When user sets a waypoint on the map, he effectively adjusts his heading bug on the heading indicator (since we don't have cockpit interaction). However, it doesn't update - it's not a magic pointer. It lets him read the current heading to target as he sets it and will stay in that position no matter how far he goes off course. If aircraft has more advanced avionics, then on the HSI/EHSI draw a line to the waypoint as well. EHSI also shows distance to waypoint, but here it will be i nautical miles even if his map is still metric.
3) New DME instrument. Not realistic, but you either hit a key to switch source, or it shows 3 sources simultaneously.
4) For aircraft that features an RMI (currently they don't do anything), I propose to have the VOR needle (thin) always point to the main airport, and the ADF needle (thick) either points towards secondary closest airport if we have more than one main airport (Takistan), or to a point on the extended runway centerline on the main airports ILS approach to simulate an approach marker (closest NDB marker if airport have multiple ILS approaches).
5) Altimeter and Vertical Speed Indicators should work in feet and of course in ASL rather than AGL.
6) Airspeed indicator should measure in knots, and possibly account for wind, but can easily drop calibrated and true airspeeds and any errors associated with pitot tube attitude (position error?) - they don't matter in our application.
For the hardcore pilots among us, we can mod out the GUI leaving us with true instruments based on real units, while not alienating the game to those just entering. I don't get this "only for professionals" attitude. Uberhard flight simulation (I'd like to see many of those here who wants realistic helicopter controls have a go at realistic helicopter controls - just saying ;)). Noobs won't stop crash aircraft no matter how realistic they are. It's like twin engine aircraft - it only takes you faster to the site of the accident :D
And while they're at it:
7) No more compass roses rotating the wrong way, VSI based on AGL, non working pitch attitudes, or excessive roll indicators, and a working turn coordinator would be cool too (if we get to turn off auto coordination).
As for wind, I think it should be user controllable if he wants this level of realism or not. For those new to the game, even normal landings can be a challenge (I think they should have the Cessna back to practice with :D). Did you ever try heavy crosswind landings in flightsim using only keyboard and mouse? I can't imagine trying to manage crossed controls while flaring (assuming a crabbed approach). As a game, it should be playable with only these. In flight sim I use yoke, pedals, and throttles of course. But in Arma, I do all my flying with keyboard and mouse since flying is secondary (I'm infantry normally).
Also, it wouldn't be possible to nicely do crosswind simulations without being able to fly with crossed controls (auto coordination off). How would the AN-2 (taildraggers are special kind of beasts) behave in crosswind?

1. Running should fatigue someone and prevent his further running
2. Weight of gear should hinder someone to run
3. Characters should be able to jump and climb
4. Things should catch fire

1. Keep Weapons mostly not visible in first person, while you running ...
...
2. Vehicle Interior (Dont make 20 Tanks for a side, just make 5 but in best quality^^)
...
1. the way the waepon is visible in OFP:DR is pretty ugly i agree with that.
but i love and prefer the running animation from OFP:CWC wich allowed shooting while running and was looking quite nice for me.
having something like the OFP:CWC running animation for normal speed running and the ArmA variant for sprinting would be awesome.
2. yes this would be one awesome feature to have interiors for all vehicles! the way it is now (some vehicles have interiors, some not) is realy not good and i would prefer no interiors for APCs or tanks at all, rather then having this inconsistant mixup.
watching the physiX demonstration from E3 at the part where he enters the tank, you can see for a short time that this tank has no interior :(

That's not as much CoD as it is James Bond. The drag caused by the water would make trying to stab somebody somewhat impractical, but not impossible, depending on how you're holding the knife.
3. Characters should be able to jump and climb
Have you ever tried jumping with 20+ kilos of gear strapped onto you? If you land incorrectly, you can break your ankles in a very nasty way.
If anything, I'd like to see characters being able to climb on objects that are too thick to step over, but are at the appropriate height.
Also, since we're getting some advanced water:

Since my separate thread on the issue was locked:
Mod sync. Some ability to auto-download mods from a server that is hosting a modded game. It would be great if the game could cache all mods on a pbo-by-pbo basis and only download what you need.
It would also be great if a server admin could host large mods (like ACE, which was over a gig for Arma 2) on a separate FTP or HTTP server to manage bandwidth issues, and also the ability to download large mods in the background while doing something else.

Ai reaction to Suppressive fire.
Ie.
When shot at Ai should:
-Seek cover and hide behind it so the player cannot shoot at them directly
-fire less
-not move as much
-be less accurate
Would really help lengthen firefights and make real world tactics more applicable.

Yeah, stop, drop, kneel, stand, run 10m, stop, drop, and repeat isn't the most realistic of tactics... I would like to see multiplayer issues like desync and warping get fixed so that we can hopefully see an explosion in the player base and have HUMAN opponents!

And better AI speech (such as when an AI teammate is giving coordinants, etc.)

For sure. The Codies titles have always had better voice actors - and I'm sure you would have noticed that the voices in CWC were much less... er... retarded than the ArmA and ArmA 2 ones? This was Codies' work as well.

One feature I would like to see is more predefined animations for characters, even if those are not used in the campaign. Usually, when I am trying to do a cutscene I am struggling to find some generic looking animations.
As an example:
Someone using a cell phone, pacing around/standing still.
Putting hand on earpiece of your comms equipment, talking to HQ, standing and/or kneeling.
Entering a door, looking around inside, maybe with a flashlight in hand
Walking up to a laptop on a table, starting to type something.
Sitting on a table/desk, writing or typing
Running away in panic, looking over shoulder often to check for pursuit.
Things like that. Nothing big, just generic stuff that can be used by mission makers to flesh out their cutscenes.

But what about to make some extra smaller features? Like deformating vehicles (like in operation flashpoint I or GTAIV), destructable terrain(holes in ground after grenade/tank shell/IED/Mine explosion),walls and melee fights!
I like the idea of some explosions causing small crator/trench/ditch in the ground that you could crawl is for some extra cover after nearly geting hit with a tank round.

changing the engine would mean starting everything from scratch, learning the nuances and limits of those engines. A new editor would have to be made (if it could) and entirely new toolkit which would take a long time to set up then make user friendly and document.
Also what the engine can do must be explored, the problem is for all their beauty most engines today just don't do what RV does, take Crysis for example, beautiful engine but when employed AI must be set up with where they can walk, out of bounds areas, where they take cover, what weapon they have can they be in vehicles and all this must be done on a per mission basis.
Then you look at the vehicles, very simple stuff, one button to move at a given speed, no need for secondary crew since the driver controls everything, while the editor is nice and all the area of operation is still far more limited in comparison.
Just about all engines are similar in how they act, driver=gunner, vehicles=1 set speed, at the current battlefield has the most advanced flight physics for mainstream games and from what I've seen on BC that actually dropped since BF2 nose down twisting gravity be damned.
Looking at the RV engine you can- place infantry types on the spot and they will control themselves, vehicles have more depth in that they have different speeds, this may seem trivial but it actually does come in handy, multiple crew making cooperation and teamwork a necessity, a huge map range for operations and so on.
Then you take a look at the community aspect, what can we do there as opposed to what we can do here..well, between diverse community projects it has been proven that Arma can be turned into a full blown simulation in many aspects, tanks with FCR and penetration, infantry with bleeding, white/black outs gas masks stuning weapons and so on.
Ground missiles with tracking systems of long range and precision, air units with diverse weapons loadouts, communications mirroring how it works in reality with distance and obstructions and much much more.
In the end it boils down to cost vs time vs capability, how much will it cost to move, how much time will it take to adapt, what can the engine do as opposed to what we have.

A better damage system for vehicles and infantry

Can we have a defined multiplayer gameplay? something like PR mod for BF2? no need to get rid of the editor, but having a defined multiplayer would help lessen confusion to new players and attract more players to PVP arma3.
If its too late to do for Arma3 then a sepcial DLC a few months later would be great.

It was requested that I repost my "wishlist" regarding naval warfare in here, even though I don't see the point in having multiple postings of the same ideas. In any case, here you are:
... I am really looking forward to a new naval warfare dynamic that has been missing from the previous games. Since there is only one island in the map though (I doubt that Agios Eustathios will be included together) I wonder if there will be any motivation for mission makers and players to fight at sea and not just use the water for insertions at the start of a mission, which are more or less unnecessary and are included as a cinematic effect.
Scuba diving seems also to be of limited potential, unless there are real reasons to go underwater for extended periods or more complex missions. They mentioned that a diver would be able to sabotage a vessel, but the submarine so far has only been a motionless prop and the only displayed ship has been the fictional gunboat.
They also mentioned that you can "salvage" from wrecks, which in gaming terms it would be an underwater crate to get equipment from.
To really take advantage of the water, IMHO, they need:
1) A large body of water that is treated as a battleground and doesn't just surround the island. For that, "endless water" is not enough, there has to be some motivation to be in it and not just cross it as quickly as possible to get to land. As such, there is no point to even begin, let alone place, a mission in water.
2) Lemnos by itself wouldn't be enough to encourage players to play in the surrounding water. Agios Eustathios should be placed on the same map as to be able to construct operations at the sea between the two landmasses.
3) What would be great, is the inclusion of a secondary map, of smaller dimensions and simpler details that would feature a few islets, either completely barren or maybe with just a house or two. Of course, a map like this can easily be provided by the modding community, but the inclusion at the base game would give players motivation to create scenarios (and game types) utilizing naval units. Such scenarios would be fairly realistic as well, considering the altercations between the two Aegean neighbors.
4) Naval warfare game type. Mission structures, objectives and in general motivation to fight at sea should be part of a special game type, or an important part of Warfare or existing game type, to encourage naval warfare.
5) There has been a mention of a hovercraft I think and that would be simply awesome (in the actual meaning of the word). An Air-cushioned landing craft like the monstrous Zubr (operated by the Russian and Greek navies), the Chinese Jingsah II LCAC, the British Griffon 2000TD, the US Navy LCAC, or a fictional one would make a whole lot of sense. They carry troops, vehicles and equipment so they would play an important part in a war in the Aegean. They are also armed to the teeth, especially the Zubr and would make them a formidable opponent by themselves and can become even water based mobile bases. The Zubr is also armed with mines and artillery to defend and attack positions on land. Such a vehicle would be an impressive demonstration by itself, as a model, as a technology (turrets, missiles, defense systems, equipment-vehicle-personnel storage, etc) and could be a major selling point for the game. No other game has something close to it!
6) To actually have some sort of naval warfare, ships bigger and badder than the small gunboats and inflatables have to be in. I know modders such as Gnat can add them, but BI has to have one missile boat or destroyer as a demonstrator at least, to motivate players to play with them. Also, if their functionality is present in the base game (such as missiles and countermeasures, like those of Mandoble) it will demonstrate a serious approach to naval warfare make the game feel more complete.
7) I do not know if the new engine will allow it, but walking or firing from moving vehicles would add to the firefights on water. Soldiers wouldn't be sitting ducks on boats and ships anymore and a bigger ship like a destroyer or an amphibious assault ship can be more than a land-like prop and be an actual game mechanic. I can envision a game type, perhaps more arcade-ish, where the ship becomes a sort of mini Carrier Command and has to attack islands and other vessels with troops and weapons while defending itself. Or even imagine a couple or more operating together.
8) The submarine doesn't have to have interiors. Or be walkable. But it should be steerable, even if it only presents a simple HUD and a periscope view. It can behave like any other vehicle in game, with seats for troops and weapons, like missiles, torpedoes and a remote controlled canon or machine gun. I don't see why it couldn't be possible.
9) UAVs should be able to be launch from and land on ships.
10) If weather affects the sea state, from calm to stormy, with the waves rising and presenting a danger or at least a difficulty to steering the (smaller) boats, it would add much to the immersion and atmosphere of a battle. The water looks perfect so far, both the color and the behavior of the waves.
11) I've seen the fish on the video and heard the confirmation that more will be made, but would also like to see something bigger, like dolphins, sea turtles and even (dangerous) sharks.
12) There is a case for melee fighting among divers equipped with knives. I am not sure what underwater weapons exist (or could exist in the future), but I know that the speargun has very limited ammo, its very slow to reload and difficult to use.
That's all I can think of now.
The whole matter reminds me of the Total War games, where naval warfare was neglected until it became a major feature.

My wishes may be brought up already, but I write them anyway.
- Boat tilt when turning at higher speeds... I didn't notice it on video.
- Wind humming on windshield/wing mirrors while driving cars and in ears on boats... expecially at higher speeds.
- Hope you make the sound world little different if character wears active hearing protection like they do in most pictures (ear damaging sounds will cut off, highfreq. sounds are stronger... you can actually hear better, try real ones and you get my point).
- Try to make feeling of diving as close real as possible (sounds like breathing, bubbles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ1RZY9LJXI ..., diving speed should be reduced from what seen on walktrough-video... in combat gear speed could be more like 0.7-1 ft/sec. And you shouldn't be able to dive too deep either... 30m max... diving deeper could cause dissynes and blurry eye sight after while and finally unconsciousness and death.)
Good luck with the entire project!!

I know it is more than silly to request one's national army to be featured in the base game, but I think including the Hellenic Army is warranted in this case. After all, the war will take place on a Greek island!
It might not fit the story so far. Considering that the Armaverse scenario is that of a World War, the campaign taking place in Arma 3 is after prolonged warfare, the island is already occupied by invading forces and the defenders aren't doing so well, it might well be the case that the Hellenic Army has lost the war and is destroyed.
Even so, I would still like a tribute to the national defenders of the island. Maybe just a ship or vehicle, or a handful of special forces, something to make the point that Greece is not just a randomly picked battleground.
I would like to see maybe a missile boat, a gunboat, or a IFV or APC, such as the Russian-made BMP-3, Leonidas 2 or even the real-world canceled Kentaurus http://www.elbo.gr/images/kentauros01.jpg
or, even a trireme ;)

I tried to represent my vision of the immersed interface.

Unless it is tweaked for triple monitors, no thanks.
You should try watching your hard earned hardware doing nothing when you are wearing NVGs, only the centre monitor has an image. Why I will instantly quit a mission if it is fully night time scenario, I will still play if it is light enough to not need the NVGs.
My own wish, ground effect and ground effect vehicles please.

I agree with you... But I think the big problem is the modeling of sight to dive, night vision or in some vehicles too. Actually it's just in 2D and it's really ugly and a shame. I imagine 3D goggles with drops of water which flowing on the glasses when we go out of the sea etc...
Look the rain effect in this game...

Can we have a defined multiplayer gameplay? something like PR mod for BF2? no need to get rid of the editor, but having a defined multiplayer would help lessen confusion to new players and attract more players to PVP arma3.
If its too late to do for Arma3 then a sepcial DLC a few months later would be great.
Completely agree here!! Relying on the community so much to make MP missions turns a lot of potential ARMA addicts away!! It has to be "out of tje box" though, a few months after release is too late!!

You mean bubbles I hope, generally if you can see drops of water around your goggles then that is not a good sign. And how would you go about making "3D goggles", in the end 2D is the best answer since you could blur it and simulate the eyes lack of focus to the object around your face (FOV would need to be wider than that though)

Aircraft - CCIP
Implement CCIP bombing in the HUD of aircraft's.
It's easy to use and hand to use, don't really see why this is not in the recent games..

God, 3D would just be a waste of dev time. Maybe add it in after everything else is finished but, seriously, do the *important* stuff first.

that server admins can put urls to downloads of required mods in the server settings, this way the arma client can download any required mod and stay up to date.
this would enhance the experience greatly and keep mods a viable option to use on the server so enough people can enjoy it.
should honestly be patched into arma 2 ( as excuse to beta test it for arma 3 )

Forgive me if these points were raised previously:
1) Please change the central character from Captain Scott Miller to something else. The Ghost Recon Series has used Captain Scott Mitchell forever, and the decision to go with a Captain Scott Miller character seems like nothing but a cheap rip-off.
2) Drop the RAH-66 Comanche - The RAH-66 program was canceled in 2004 before it was fielded. It is not needed in this game when there are other more viable and real alternatives that could be used.
3) FFS - fix these issues once and for all:
AI controlled convoys
AI suppression fire
AI helicopter flight pathing and landing under fire
Thank you.

It's hard enough to generate a <first name> <last name> without having fictional namesakes in one game (or movie) or another. Now they have to consider close shaves too?
As somewhat related trivia, Duke Nukem was originally a villain in the Captain Planet cartoon series. The name was later taken by a popular video game character.

In an E3 video the BI rep says that the Comanche was not shitcanned in the Armaverse.
