also my sound had some real issues and I played mainly in silence, which is quite an odd experience, I just kinda tagged along with you guys and hoped for the best.
The radio mod has been a problem for you for a while, right? Teamspeak 3 itself seems to work reasonably well before we actually start a mission. It might be an idea if you deactivated the Task Force Radio mod for a session, because that way you might be able to hear us, even if we can't hear you, which would already be an improvement. Unless, of course, the problem is TS3 itself losing connection or your sound more generally (did you not even get the regular sound from
Arma?). Anyway, it's something we could try.

no the sound from arma game itself is fine its just anything online it seems. Next time I join should suss it out.

Hey! That's not what I said! :nono:
You have some great moments in the video, Al_B. I love the one where I shout at you, too late, to get into cover, you collapse in a tangle, and then you lie there apologising meekly. :cheeky:

To be fair that pretty much my level of ability every session but I do enjoy it regardless!

I'm not particularly good, and I'm downright dreadful at keeping myself alive, which is why I surround myself by people who are better at it and AI so they get killed first. :cheeky:

I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I learned to hit the deck the second I suspect something is off from a scene in Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front. A group of rookie kids gets of a train just as a British plane swoops down, and while all the veterans jump into cover, the kids just stand there and the whole lot of them get mowed down before they even have time to get the reflex. And ever since then, my reflex is to jump into cover at the slightest hint of trouble (in video game situations that allow me).

I've learnt to do so from you. Sadly, some maps make it impossible to see anything through the grass, but last time round hitting the dirt helped me take out a bunch of bad guys behind some sandbags. They still got me as I was crawling back towards the others, but I survived much longer than expected... and the moment when henke crawls out of the underbrush to patch me up was pretty damn cool. (It's in the video embedded on the previous page, roughly at 25:00.)

It'd be nice if ARMA had demo recording capabilities a la Quake 3. That's where the game's telemetry gets recorded to a file instead of raw video, so you can do cool shit like change player viewpoints and add proper cinematic camera movements to playback. But I think that's fallen out of fashion in these days of video streaming :(

I've seen videos and machinima that suggest this is possible, although it might also just be very clever use of scripting and live in-game cameras. I'm pretty certain I played a helicopter training mission (though for Arma 2) that recorded and replayed the heli teacher's moves.
