I'll be playing at being a good husband and going along to the local carnival procession and concert with my wife, I'm afraid. (And yes, I actually *am* afraid, since I rank carnival music somewhere below country music.) Hope you guys have a fun session, though!

It's been a while since we played GTA V. I vote for that.

Apparently GTA V works with Mumble's positional audio, with no additional plug-in necessary. Might be worth trying that out.

Neb, quick question for you, since you know
Arma 3 much better than any of us: do you know any good coop missions or mission packs for small groups (4-8 people, none of them
A3 pros) that don't require much in the way of mods? There's a lot on the Steam Workshop, but few of them have been rated.
I really don't know much. I literally only play with a group that makes its own missions. There's always Zeus, which works as if you're an RTS-style dungeon master, but that's one less person playing.
I asked around, and one of the Arma 3 devs said to check out Dynamic Recon Ops. It's one of those things that auto-generates mission objectives.

Thanks, will give that one a try. It's a shame: i love the mission making by the a cold War Rearmed guys, but several of the mission makers seem to have turned against Bohemia Interactive and aren't doing anything for Arma 3, it seems.

So, thanks to the recent Humble Bundle, enough of us have
Arma 3 now to give it a try - and thanks to the Steam Workshop, it should be easy to add certain mods. Not that I want to go overboard, having learnt that lesson the hard way...
Date: Saturday, 11 March 2017
Time: 4-6pm UK time
Game: Arma 3Things to note:
* Bring a headset and install the
latest version of Teamspeak 3. Note: Make sure to
set up Press To Talk (PTT), ideally with a key/button other than Ctrl (which is used in the default
Arma 3 keyboard setup).
* Please make sure to
download the mods I've put together in a Steam Workshop collection here: (
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=877349651). This includes three mods:
CBA_A3, Shacktac UI, ACRE2.
* ACRE2 is a fantastic radio mod that also adds great positional voice chat. The regular voice chat works with your
TS3 PTT key, the in-game radio works with Caps Lock (default).
* Once all the mods have been downloaded,
activate them in the Arma 3 Launcher and launch the game at least once. If you run into any problems, please post them in this thread.
I'll be online a bit before 4pm to set up the server and check who's on Steam, and I'll launch a server shortly before the session. Hoping to see you there!
If we take to
Arma 3, there are some fantastic free terrains available for it, but that's something for later. Perhaps.

how do you think it will work long distance? More graphically intensive than arma2 obviously. I played a fair bit of arma3 online when it first came out, but havent much since then.
Thirith on 5/3/2017 at 15:16
I think it's worth trying; while it's more graphically intensive, I'm not sure there's automatically that much more data that needs to be transmitted, as the graphics are done locally. However, if it doesn't work at all, I'll definitely also take this into consideration for future sessions and the choice of which game to play - it'd be a shame to lose out on you completely. :D
