The latest installment in the successful tactical mil-sim series, Arma, combines the strength of its predecessors with radical engine improvements. Arma 3 will provide players with a unique experience of sandbox-oriented combat gameplay set in the most detailed and vast environment of the series. Players will fight through a story-oriented campaign by taking control of a multitude of aircraft, vehicles and ships; shooting anything from pistols to sophisticated weaponry. Arma 3 key features: • Single-Player Campaign - Evolve from lone prey into a military commander in the open-ended & story-driven campaign. • Vehicles & Weapons -- Control a multitude of aircraft, vehicles and ships with accurate simulation; shoot anything from pistols to sophisticated weapon platforms. • Customizable Soldier Load - Choose your uniform; assemble your weapon kit; change your load-out; get loaded up. • Physical Simulation & Improved Animations -- Take advantage of PhysX™ supported vehicle simulation, in-game interactions and the revamped animation system. • Rich & Authentic Environment -- Explore an unsurpassed military combat experience set on an authentic Mediterranean island modelled from real geographic data. • Multiplayer Gameplay -- Experience both cooperative & competitive scenarios with the full support of dedicated servers for both Windows and Linux. • Completely Extensible & Moddable - Design & create countless customizable scenarios using the intuitive & easy-to-use mission editor. The developers are planning a community alpha release in Summer 2012 and a beta release later on in the year. | ||

Arma 3 system requirements: OS – Windows 7 / Vista CPU – Intel Core i5 or AMD Athlon Phenom X4 or faster GPU – Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 or ATI Radeon HD 5770, shader Model 3 and 896 MB VRAM, or faster RAM – 2 GB HDD – 15 GB free space DVD – Dual Layer compatible DirectX® – 10 | ||

I mean, ultra-realistic military simulation. This isn't a run-and-gun, nor is it an "I can take this whole village on by myself" type of game. It's a stick with your squad, take orders, shoot when told, move when told and be ready to hit the dirt kind of sim. I didn't much like the controls in it, and I do hope they improve upon them in A3. Other than that, however, it's a neat game and fun to play with enough people and when everyone cooperates. [ Edited Wed May 09 2012 ] | ||

More info for that at http://dayzmod.com Or if you prefer a quick peek just go to youtube and search for arma 2 dayz. I'm playing it now on different servers trying to avoid darkness, yes it's pitchblack if servertime is night...... It's in alphamode so expect a lot of trouble installing and connecting though there is sollutions to all problems in various forums. It's a game of survival set in a post apocalyptic enviroment, where players tries to survive bandits zombies and starvation etc. | ||

| Registered Member #1505 Joined: Sat Nov 18 2006Location: HmSpeak youtube Posts: 120 | Alpha testing (720p) After playing the Arma 3 alpha for around 2 weeks so far I can safely say that for an Alpha version of a game it exceeds all of my expectations of an Alpha, if you had given this to me without telling me, I would have firmly said that the game I was playing was the full, finished version of Arma 3. Besides from a few bugs and glitches which are expected in the first release of a game, the game is exceptional. The graphics are a solid step up from the bland and overall greyness which was present in Arma 2 and the new engine has definitely made good work of the new content. Arma 3 could shape up to having the coop game play from joint ops and the graphics from bf3. The map editor is so easy to use and very complex missions can be made in minutes. Definitely One to Watch | ||
