sorry if this has being asked before, but could we encorporate norins revive drag body script - it would give the battles a whole new dimention.so u see a freind hit , u throw a smoke and drag him into cover - and so medics are still usefull - they and tents can only revive people.i am not a scripting guru so im not sure if this could be done or how hard it would be to incorparte or how mutch lag it would cause but i feel it would be exiting and fun to try out

p.s: i know im new and u may thing i am a noob but i think this idea could be good.ty.

At the moment this is perceived to be the top 3 requests and yes. We tried to add it in CP1 but the integration didn't go as well as we planned.

If there is still support for this (judging by future replies to this thread) we will be working hard next week to add it.

I think we should just kill our wounded, cull the weak!

SLX mod has it, and ACE will have it when released. It works pretty well on SLX.

Again lag free server is the most important thing in every area we focus on.
This was the contributing reasons why it did not make it into CP1 in time was because of lag and other issues. At the moment, I have no idea on what the performance of these will be.

But one thing is for sure. After the end of the Campaign we will still need each and everyone of you to show up for our fun battles and tests so we can see how these new additions will hold up under battleday stress.

My best ArmA memories are when we were playing Operation Blacksword every night and the great long-lasting firefights we would get into rescuing each other. So I would love to see Revive get another shot as long as it doesn't impact performance. The performance of the last few weeks already has me leaning toward not playing.

i suggest we try to take drag and revieve from SLX, also i think in SLX you wont die if bullet hits you in non-lethal places. more of you will be laying down and screaming for medic.
last time we had somekind of revive it were so bad, strobo flashing standing up and down etc...
So Grim your not on wrong tracks ;)

Allmost forgot to bring up one MINOR bug what it did have in MP, you could revive enemy soldier and kill it again, revive and kill it again.

Yeah sounds great! After we get this in let's get that wrench from bf2 so we can repair vehicles.... Oh wait that's a stupid idea just like this un-realistic script. Body drag sounds good though.

It may be a good idea to have wounded people to bleed to death. This is more realisitic, give a sense of urgency to get a medic, stops people waiting for AGES waiting for said medic and the lack of death could be exploited, an army of wounded men lying screaming on the floor can't do much to defend a town.

The ACE Dev team is working on that if the SLX or Norrin does not have it. When its proven we will look to add it in if it doesn't effect performance.

so here it is...
when you are shot you lie there , and have a time limit untill you die.
medics can only revive but every1 can drag
to stop killing enemys over and over have a suiside option or make it so enemy cant revive freindlys or vice versa

and that is what a good script should contain.ty.

The revive part possible, we have a script in work by norrin for that already that's being worked on.

The dragging is NOT easy to do. That's why no one's done it yet for COOP/PvP. :) To be honest, dragging looks neat in a slow-mo video, but the actual implementation is kind of messy in Single Player. Add in desync and lag and it's a mess.
