[b]What makes ARMA 3 so special?[/b]
While many other games present a similar Call of Duty or Battlefield inspired experience year after year, ArmA 3 truly stands out from its counterparts which have been immediately favourited by the average, and rather naive, first-person shooter gamer. In ARMA 3, you may be in command of your army, your section, your trusted and honoured squad, and the deadliest weapon on the battlefield - yourself. ARMA 3 takes a fresh and niche look on the first person genre with its focus on the battlefield and its connection, as a whole, with the player. In an environment where players are able to create new missions to play on, pitting player against player or player against computer controlled opponent, adding the component to keep the game fresh for as long as the community lives on. Each mission is a new and fresh experience, with the players all being able to choose their rules within mission guidelines and classifications. But, the way ARMA 3 makes these missions entertaining is by pinning them on some of the largest fully playable areas in the FPS genre. The scale of ARMA 3 allows players to engage other units in combat in ranges unparallelled in the average FPS game; no longer being restricted to 200 meter firefights, players are able to engage others within ranges of 1000 meters, 2000 meters, and even 5000 meters with the proper equipment. This equipment is moddable by the community as well. ARMA 3 is starting off with a wide selection of vehicles, some of which are pictured in this very OP. Players are not left to die simply by these war machines, because infantry combat is where ARMA 3 surpasses all other games. With proper windage, distance, and penetrative simulation, ARMA 3 allows rifleman to engage each other at long range with realistic and amazing results. ARMA 2 brought weapons like the Javelin, M95 Barrett, Dragunov, and even silenced weaponry like the Bizon-SD making every session unique when playing ARMA 2 and ARMA 3 is expected to match this standard and surpass it greatly. As our community grows, so will the game, and when the game grows we all benefit!
[b]Improvements over ARMA 2[/b]
[quote=Dwarden]i would say bigger than between ARMA 1 and OA or even CWC/R and A1[/quote]
In a short list, we can safely say that ARMA 3 improves on many aspects present in ARMA 2 and even more but these are the most evident:
-Extensive graphics improvements with overhauled lighting system
-Physics
-Properly customizable units and weapons
-Fluid movement, stance changes, and firing (more towards a twitch shooter than clunky ARMA games)
-Underwater combat
-Much larger islands to combat in
-More responsive and appealing vehicle interiors
-Ragdoll physics
[b]How to play with Facepunch![/b]
The FPARMA group currently plays ARMA 3 on a non-scheduled basis on our teamspeak server. If you would like to play with us then follow the two links below to be appropriately ready to play.
While you're waiting for ARMA 3 to be fully optimized we may be playing ARMA 2 Combined Ops with our mod package if the need is there. Otherwise, we're going to be playing ARMA 3 and you're all invited!

Ah that new thread smell
I think they should have had a pre-order and pre-load. Speeds are going to be shit in 8 hours.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;39803629]Ah that new thread smell[/QUOTE]
Doesn't smell as good when we get a new one every 3 days.
I am way too stoked over this! When I get my hands on the alpha I'm just going to run around and shoot walls like a complete badass.
Yeah.
Can't wait. Here's the official [url=https://store.bistudio.com/]countdown[/url] to the alpha in case anyone new is wondering.
Servers should be fine if you're buying it on Steam by the way, they've had much larger releases than this and got through without a hitch.
Releases midnight tonight in Australia.
got school tomorrow.
fuck this gay earth and its bad timing
So I was very hazy on this game when I first heard it announced, that video showcasing the movement and the new character creation options just threw all doubt out the window. My money is all yours Bohemia.
What time will this beast be on Steam? How long from now?!?!!? I NEED IT FUCK
This 25 page shit is bullshit. 50 Would be better
I'm going to bed early for the first time in at least a decade just for this.
Why did the page limit have to change anyways?
Also, comes out at like 6:00 in the morning for me... Going to wake up early, download it, go back to sleep, do homework then hopefully it is finished...that's if the download speeds aren't being hogged.

Do you need a full night of sleep? What are you, a women or something?
[QUOTE=Linkmister;39803651]So I was very hazy on this game when I first heard it announced, that video showcasing the movement and the new character creation options just threw all doubt out the window. My money is all yours Bohemia.[/QUOTE]
I'm with you.
At first, i thought it would be cool, but definitely not anything crazy that i had to get as soon as possible.
That said, after watching all the videos leading up to it, i'm ordering the alpha at work tomorrow, and sending it to steam to download while i'm there.

[QUOTE=TheTalon;39803741]This 25 page shit is bullshit. 50 Would be better[/QUOTE]
I thought it was odd that the page already closed. Stupid page limits.
Clearly you need more RAM.
And because everyone here is so cool, here is a secret site you can use to get more.
[url]http://www.downloadmoreram.com/[/url]
Don't tell nobody now.
Oh god that site is still up ? people actually use that shit ?
[QUOTE=Deep;39804053]Oh god that site is still up ? people actually use that shit ?[/QUOTE]
One day it may be real, and when that happens, I'll just download a tank instead.

As if I need some dinky website that takes system specs and compares it to what I know I have to tell me if I can run it or not. It's nice to see my PC stand that far ahead of the Minimum for a moral boost anyway. Besides, this website actually told me something I didn't know. My video card supports Shader Model 5.0.
I didn't even know SM5.0 existed

I meant the system requirements one, it's so hilariously broken.
[QUOTE=Deep;39804089]I meant the system requirements one, it's so hilariously broken.[/QUOTE]
Sorry, I wasn't sure which site you meant since both are a joke.
Huh, the website says I have 690 mb of vram. What the fuck.
I might buy the supporter edition.
In the meantime i have no idea if this'll run or not.

Anyone know if i'll be able to?

You'll be fine.
The best thing to do if you're not sure if it'll run or not is to wait a few more days and get a lite invite fore free and test out how it runs, and decide if you want to buy it now.
I'll give out 2 of my lite invites to people on here when they're available.
How is your HDD at 101F?!
[QUOTE=TheTalon;39804140]How is your HDD at 101F?![/QUOTE]
38c isn't that bad. I've had mine at 41c. But since I put a intake fan over my HDD it went down to 25ish.
Mine sometimes goes to 113F or 35Celcius idle; it isn't that bad at all. Before I cleaned it out it was at 60-70Celcius
Mine's also a laptop so the headsinks are a little different than what I can manage compared to a dekstop.
Mine have always been only a few degrees in fahrenheit higher than room temperature. Right now mine's sitting at 76F/25C.
I know 38C is more than fine for an HDD I just didn't think they really got that hot in most computers sitting idle
[QUOTE=TheTalon;39804140]How is your HDD at 101F?![/QUOTE]
Arizona.
i hope an hd 5670 will run on at least low settings..
really want to play this
