Gentlemen, a reminder that this thread should be for quotes only, not responses or commentary.

@GySgt Bingham when @Capt Makowski and I start making puns in the Company HQ chat:

I'd rather delay it and do it right. This seems like it's going to be really good.

GySgt Bingham, on being elevated to First Sergeant: "I honestly think this experience has made me a saltier person in general."

When you feel responsibility creeping up on you...

I’m into my third drink and there are too many of you to list. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

GySgt Cole: "I'm so sad I only had half a burrito. I should have burrito'd."

@HM2 Boardman: "So I was talking to a table yesterday..."

GySgt Cole: "I'm a fruity guy."

Note: there's a new version of Project OPFOR. The Liberation server will be updated later this morning.

I got a little bit into The Division but never played it fully or coherently. That's the thing about coop games, people talk over the story, so I have no idea what's going on. I might be able to get into it over Thanksgiving weekend.

Correct. Existing mods do not become paid mods under this program.

They explain this in the post as well. The difference between this new program and the Jets DLC is that the Jets DLC content was still managed and directed by BI employees. This new program is basically mod makers being paid to do the entire thing, and to deliver content by a certain release date.

No. Existing mods are not being covered by this. BI is basically going to pay mod makers to make NEW CONTENT that will be offered as paid DLC in 2018 and beyond. They are not putting existing mods behind a paywall.

Looks like a subtle admission that ArmA 4 is in development. And it seems like a good idea; we get new content, mod developers get some money, and BI keeps ArmA 3 going while ArmA 4 gets worked on. This should be interesting.

There was a marathon 12 hour session last weekend, and lots of participation last week. People are probably busier this week.

That's what they want you to think.

My TS away status is "Poke if needed". Sometimes, this happens: <20:54:43> "Cpl Gwynne" pokes you: Boop the snoot <20:54:47> "Cpl Gwynne" disconnected

Just like in ArmA, I am terrible at the space dogfighting and aerial combat. So I'll just stick to groundpounding. Surprisingly fun game so far. DICE's game design lends itself better to fictional settings, rather than the churn that was Battlefield 3 and 4. (Which I've logged far too many hours in…)
