Arma 3: Confirmed features | info & discussion

[Kees5507 10]

Well it says something about early acces.

I was just wondering if that means we can download for example on monday.

[purepassion 22]

Those are the different versions. Early Access is what e.g. Dslyecxi or the testers recieved.

There is no pre-load option so you'll be able to download on the 5th :)

Allright, thank you. Really cant wait. :bounce3:

This looks interesting: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/isBurning

As I am not familiar with scripting, would this indicate that the unit is actually in flames or simply taking fire damage (i.e. from a burning wreck)

[FlyByNight 10]

Has anyone heard if the player models are going to have animated pistols in the holsters?

Yes, though I reckon its low priority at this point.

I use the GL4 function ‘burning fx’, this enables the unit to catch on fire in certain instances, i.e. vehicle or aircraft crash etc or standing/getting too near to burning objects for too long.

Wonder if they have put something similar into the standard game for A3, would be good..

They did mention in that recent interview that they had to teach AI to stay away from fire, so it seems that burning vehicles will now at least cause damage if you get too close. Whether or not fire can actually spread to nearby objects remains to be seen though. :)

Why there is no one fliping over this: :D

Q: What’s the most fictional or experimental weapon or piece of equipment you’re putting into Arma 3?

… let’s just say we have some major vehicles hidden under the cover of darkness still, some re-imagined old favorites and classics. We’re not trying to invent weapons and vehicles from scratch, but are always basing things off current prototypes, near-future concepts and feasible blends between them. There are plenty of technologies being tested in the real world now that many people have no idea about.

well, cause ive they said weapons, then they think of laser guns, but with vehicles, we all love futuristic drones, planes, helicopters hovering tanks, 5 wheeled quads ( worst name ever, i know) or even spaceships

Smurf, why is no one flipping over the lack of attention to Greek civilians and resistance units, as well as goats?

cause nobody is interested in the real characters, all want USMC und other factions with the actual RL stuff, not greek goats with laser weapons^^

Last time I checked, there was no USMC in ArmA 3. #getfactsstraight

Look at this picture,

The closest pickup lacks the back protection thingy(the "back door", or whatever whats its called) However the second pickup seems to still have one and it looks like its the same model.

Does this mean we might see better vehicle destruction..

:D

I don't want USMC, but hey, thanks for telling me what I really want.

The pickup with the missing tires is also missing it's side skirt. We have seen evidence in the past of the same pick-up model missing one of it's doors, however the dev's commented nothing on the matter.

I will update the list with this feature if procedural damage is confirmed.

Maybe its like with ironfront where you can lose the side skirts on your tanks and what not if they are fitted?

[d3lta 10]
