  • Definitely. I love the freedom ArmA gives. It allows to really engage with any objective as you see fit. The structure of a typical AAS or RAAS match in squad doesn’t really allow for that to happen.

    The day before yesterday a buddy and I managed to round up 4 people to come with us to retake Cabin on a WCS server. W After that we went to Chotain. While the team took farm, we went on to take Laruns, then quarry while the team took Camurac, and then Penant’s . We went from losing Military Hospital to the enemy team struggling to even field helicopters to the western coast.

    Haven’t ever gotten close to that in Squad. Though I will say that rounding up enough volunteers to do that is kind of hard.



  • Vanilla:

    • Mortars
    • New MI-8 and Huey variants, armed.
    • New Soviet and NATO IFV (NATO has an amphibious IFV now, similar to the BTR)
    • Rank requirements for weapons and apparel
    • Point capture changes (can’t respawn on contested points, and capture rate depends on how many friendly points connect to it).
    • Structural destruction (eg: buildings and trees)

    WCS (probably the most popular mod pack along with RHS) also has new stuff coming with this patch:

    • New weapons
    • New vehicles (inc. Mh6 variants, tanks, new IFVs), some of which are armed with new stuff I think.

  • The Neighborhood Kids. They’re a small-ish rap group whose biggest song has a bit over quarter million streams on Spotify (Biddi Bomb). They’re really interesting because they sound and feel like politically active 90s west coast rap. Great beats, great lyrics, and very creative.

    A complete 180 from what tops the charts nowadays. Biddi bomb is their biggest song and is rap through and through, while Third World Problems feels RATM. I honestly hope they keep at it because I love what they’re doing.
