About Us
Foxhound International is an Australian gaming group for ARMA 3. Our focus is on developing and playing challenging and immersive ARMA 3 missions, drawing on military principles and procedures only where they aid in playing the game.
Serious Gameplay
Although we play a variety of mission styles, in general a mission will have:
- An emphasis on infantry roles.
- Squad and fireteam structure and leadership.
- No respawning.
- No third person—ever.
- Few—if any—roles with high magnification optics.
- An emphasis on navigation skills rather than navigational aids.
- No blue force tracking, and an emphasis on communication.
The style of missions varies widely, from civilians protecting goat infested mountain villages with naught more than a Kalashnikov and an old dented compass, all the way up to deploying as well equipped special forces with superpower-level air, ground and artillery support.
Casual Environment
Once we shut down ARMA, the military simulation is over. Our membership is drawn from a diverse background, and as such we have:
- No ranks.
- No onerous attendance requirements.
- No fixed roles or teams.
Extensive Mods
Our carefully curated mod set includes:
- ACE, ASR AI, TFR, STHUD, and other enhancements.
- Numerous maps including Fallujah, Chernarus, Takistan, Fata, Kunduz, Duala, and more.
- RHS: Escalation (AFRF and USAF), and numerous smaller weapon, uniform and vehicle addons.
Custom Launcher
One of the biggest frustrations when joining a co-op ARMA 3 group is downloading and updating numerous mods and keeping them all up to date before each and every mission. Worse still is waiting around on mission nights for other people to get everything running.
Fulminate, our integrated updater and launcher, was developed completely in-house to solve those issues and make using our mod set completely pain free. When you join, you simply:
- Download and install a small (1 MB) .MSI installer and run it.
- Wait for Fulminate to download and install the mods from our dedicated distribution server.
- Click on the connect button to launch ARMA 3 and be connected directly to our game server.
What's even better is that if you already have mods such as RHS, AiA and ACE installed, Fulminate won't download them again. It recognises your existing files and puts them to use, without using any extra hard drive space.
