Well this is an idea , i know arma handle projectiles quite.. okay, but how could we do stuffs like swordfighting, bows, crossbow, and trebuchets?

thanks nick but isn't this more like a strategy game?

I was thinking more in the lines of Armed assault but set in the middle age (Britain in 5th - 6th century).

Does Arma offer other valid way to inflict damages than the use of projectiles?
Since the inflicted dmg are a factor of the velocity of the ammunition , how could it be applied to swords , halberds, etc...

There was 1 swordfighting mod for OFP which was pretty fun, you could run and swing your sword at the same time (Hiddenselection or something while hiding your 'real arms' when you 'fired' your sword). It was even AI compitable (Kinda buggy though).
However you couldnt drop your sword and take another weapon as the sword was part of the soldiermodel.

I cant remember the name of the guy who made it, Phil.... something.

Just shoot invisible, very short range bullets.

well that would not exactly work for things like halberds or slashing weapons.

anybody ever played the game dark messiah its got a fantastic sword fighting system in it - if somthing like this could be put in arma it would be really great.

you block parry and do power strikes its great fun.

If you have OFP, i suggest you search ofp.info for Philcommando and download his sword addon stuff.

I'm wondering about a basic sword fight system, and using the space bar command to change your combat stance, then have a rock paper scissor relation between the 3 different stances where you can parry a blow or even counter a blow if you counter attack with the proper stance.

I like the way the soldiers move in arma, i think it would feel quite right for close combat.
