So far what I've seen in action of Arma 3's particles, they are pretty meh compared to other games. They aren't [I]bad[/I], just nothing special.
Also, I'd like to know how the hell this vehicle got in my game

[QUOTE=The Vman;39828599]Not to hate on Arma (I'm actually considering buying it) but it [I]really[/I] does have some [url=http://youtu.be/uxZE9jILPrE?t=1m]awful looking particle effects.[/url][/QUOTE]
They look fine. Nice and dusty
I think people are expecting ArmA 3 to have hollywood style explosions.
Because those totally fit in a military sim.
Got an enhanced weapons mod for 2k4. The reskins are terrible, but I got a mod that allows me to take attacks from weapons and put them onto other weapons, so I can keep the nice particle effects from the new mod.
The new shock rifle effects are my favorite, they remind me of the UT99 shock alt fire but with fancy effects.

The smoke particle is literally just a circle, and the whole explosion just *appears*, rather than actually feeling like it's exploding.
Compare it to the much [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ81d8F28p8]nicer looking[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xzamhyk55A]explosions in[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwFERmOQyFE]Operation Flashpoint.[/url] They aren't hollywood fireballs, but it still looks considerably better, and feels much more impressive.
You're also failing to realize it's an alpha, it's more than likely not final.

I do realize it's alpha, but Bohemia doesn't have the best track record with particle effects (just look at Arma 2)

The explosions look terrible in Red River because nothing lingers. It's an effect, then the effect is done. In Arma the effect lingers and blows away in the wind, and it obstructs your view like a bitch. If you really have an issue with it, go get Blastcore, WarFX, or any other number of client side mods to change it to your liking. I think Arma has compromised the simulator feel with added playability enough already

It doesn't have the best track record with controls either, but look at ArmA 3.

Lingering smoke is as simple as changing the lifetime of the particles. But even if Red Rivers effects don't last as long that doesn't mean they don't still look considerably better. They throw showers of sparks and debris, and actually feel like they have impact when the go off.
And yea, the Blastcore mods are considerably nicer looking, but the particles still feel fairly rigid when compared to other modern games, which makes it seem like Arma's effect editor just has a really limited capabilities.

Maybe you should use your eyeballs. I see sparks and debris all the time when vehicles explode.

Yep, there is some pretty noticable debris being thrown around, just look at the second explosion.

The debris can actually wound you too if you're too unlucky to be on it's path, which is also kinda cool.

Happened in the original recording, I think. Explosions seem to be a bit odd at the moment.

Yeah, the current explosions seem to make the debris fly at insane speeds to every direction, thus killing you from pretty long ranges.

That's how shrapnel/fragmentation from grenades work! An M67's fragments travel almost 3 times faster than a 5.56 round

Shrapnel's no fucking joke, either (He was fine, good thing the piece was so large)

But that's what happens in a real, big explosion?

What I meant is an INSANE speed.. Like, faster than light.
Oblivion
Using MMM mod and animation bug appeared.

Welp cant carry that loaded already
[QUOTE=Adius Shadow;39827609]ARMA 3 still has shit textures and particles. No surprise.[/QUOTE]
I was playing on "High". There's further options of Very High and Ultra but I'd rather have playable FPS.

some particle effects in arma 3 need improving, like the detail heat exhaust fumes in ka
another thing that looks p bad is the foliage but otherwise its good and a big step up from arma II
Bit more Crysis.

Not sure why the mod makes the turtle the size of a school bus, but whatever.
bowser has a new agenda it seems
What does that mod exactly do? Enhance visuals?

Just changes the TimeofDay and I think ups the vegetation density in a few areas.
My experience with Arma 3 Alpha. My got got stuck twitching all over the place. After I stopped recording, I went to find my ai team mates and they were doing the same thing

I can't find it but I know there's a vid of some soldiers in a middle-eastern country doing a controlled detonation of an IED. Thing is, these guys are at least 100 meters away from the explosion and, despite that, one guy is ALMOST hit by a piece of shrapnel going fast enough to pierce his armor.
