An exploit, in video games, is the use of a bug or design flaw including glitches. Exploits have been classified as a form of cheating; however, the precise determination of what is or is not considered an exploit can be controversial. This debate stems from a number of factors but typically involves the argument that the issues are part of the game and require no changes or external programs to take advantage of them. Yes I do know. Mainly from beta testing games, learning from those experiences and from the feed back from games developers with explanations on what would be an exploit or cheat. Do you ?

Nice idea. Defiantly would add to immersion.

Yes one char per server would eliminate allot of the problems. At no point was i trying to say that using 3rd alone is an exploit sorry if it came across as such. I was attempting to get across that using 3rd to exploit is possible and does happen even when the user doesn't realise this. One of the ways was explained quite eloquently by Callaghan. If you misunderstood my posts or my terminology led you to misinterpret them, Sorry and i hope this cleared it up for you. Im glad you agreed with option 2 though I feel all warm now :P

Good idea.. The game already places tyre tracks and foot prints in the ground when you walk or drive. Grass is flattened by players and vehicles as well but comes back up quite quickly. Just depends on your gfx settings if they show or not. If i remember right. Im sure they could be tweaked to show more and stay longer. Adding a cover your tracks option would be great aswell. +1 for this

I totally know who you are now IRL! You are Ralph Shortey' date=' one of our Senators in Oklahoma. You know, the guy who proposed a "anti-abortion bill" that would stop fast food companies from using aborted fetus's in their food. “There is a potential that there are companies that are using aborted human babies in their research and development of basically enhancing flavor for artificial flavors,” he told KRMG Radio. “I don’t know if it is happening in Oklahoma, it may be, it may not be. What I am saying is that if it does happen then we are not going to allow it to manufacture here.” That is completely the line of logic you are using. And no I am not making that up. (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2012/01/26/bill-would-ban-aborted-fetuses-in-food/) [/quote'] Sorry dude I'm English no idea who your talking about. Another crazy american I guess ?

And still you imply that EVERYONE playing on 3rd person enabled servers is an exploiting scrub that NEEDS 3rd person to GAIN THE ADVANTAGE BY EXPLOITING THE TOTALLY NOT COOL EXPLOIT And the loot? OH BOY' date=' 100% EXPLOITED!!!!!!! [/quote'] Sorry if you thought I was saying everyone who uses 3rd is exploiting. I'm not.. I'm saying it can and is used as an exploit. Even if those using don't realise they are exploiting. Some just prefer 3rd which is fine... Just make it so the ones who exploit it don't drag the exploits onto servers where people don't use that exploit.

I love how you quote part of my post and completely ignore the part that addresses your followup statement. No one is going to switch servers like that. Why would they? It doesnt make sense. If you enjoy using 3rd person then you are going to stick to those servers regardless of if you are looting or hunting players. Sorry I sub quoted you. If that is the case and people don't swap then there is no need NOT to stop them swapping. Although Stopping them would stop the people who do swap with ill gained loot. at no cost to the people who dont.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARMA_2 Not an FPS TACTICAL SHOOTER, MILITARY SIMULATION, OPEN WORLD Your opinion, is in fact, not fact. Wrap your feeble little mind around that. A tactical shooter is a subgenre of shooter game that includes both first-person shooters and third-person shooters. This doesn't remove the fact that looking though a wall or over objects in arma2 while using 3rd person is an exploit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_shooter I wont lower myself to calling you names or insulting you. :)

Well put. :P I agree trying to explain an exploit to exploiters is hard work :)

OMG I do only play on none 3rd servers. read the frigging posts :)

Using an exploit to get the loot no matter the type of exploit you use is wrong. If they put third person into the game to use' date=' I'm pretty sure they were full well what you could do with it. There's a reason you can drag the camera in 3rd person. This is a TACTICAL shooter. You need to try and out think your opponent. [/quote'] So your saying looking through walls was intended ?

The options can be overwritten in the missions code. So yes the devs could force one type of difficulty. I know I have done it myself in missions :)

+1 to this statement

+ 1 but would prefer if the ACRE system was used in-game so that you don't need to all be on the same ts3 server. This would eliminate the need to swap ts3 depending on which server you play on and stop groups using ts3 and alienating anyone not in that ts3.
