Actually, we've had some problems with two-wheeled vehicles and PhysX, so we're not currently including these in our ORBAT.

Plus, any videos from 2011 - or those we've no longer got as public on our official Yt channel generally - should be considered as being potentially out of date (For example, I wasn't even working on A3 when this that video was published, just helping out! :))

Best,

Saw that coming; guess it is somehow understandable. Maybe we see it in an endgame DLC or something.

It's a shame but understandable, guess I'll have to go through the list and clear out a thing or two.

Well tomorrow evening I will have Arma 3 SE. Will be nice to be able to compare it against what is and has been a great game, Arma 2.

If A2 has been bettered, then the BIS would have done a supreme job. Really looking forward to it now, just for looking around at everything that’s there, terrain, factions, vehicles etc. Also of course I am looking forward to getting my new, well had it for a while now waiting, pc out to try it on, finally its here... :)

Thanks BIS.

[cheeseburger 1]

How big will the whole Alpha Installation be?

[EvenLease 11]

Between 7 and 8 GB.

[pettka 694]

Between 7 and 8 GB.

6.95 GB at this moment, to be precise :icon_twisted:

Good news, it will fit my tiny SSD.

[KorroBravin 1]

So I saw this posted earlier, (different thread, but did not see any confirmation) but will A3 still have the A2 feature of being able to make a custom face texture, place it in the mydocs/a2 folder and select it in the profile options? If this functionality is continuing, could we get a template for it as well?

Long ago in a time long forgotten... that idea was kicked to the curb & labeled as low priority by the Devs.

Woop!!! My 1mb connection is going to be working hard tomorrow :D

Judging from the PC gamer video and preview, there still some problem with the game

Blur and PP are still bind together

AI still do the same old same old

Inventory still needs a bit of work(and include the function to stripe weapon mods/open backpack from dead body directly)

But at less they fix the red dots and holos, which is good enough:)

Found something interesting in the field manual: Health --> Drowning --> it says in the grey text: "This damage is also inflicted in other situations where oxygen level is low, like in sealed rooms or when using gas weapons"

[paecmaker 23]

So are there any weapons and vehicles in the alpha we havent seen before?

as far as i 've seen the developers have removed the Fennek (i don't remember the fictional name) for some reasons

Yup, the Ifrit, the OPFOR rocket launcher and handgun are completely new. And there might even be some more.

It's still in the game but just not in the limited Alpha content :)

[chauvinista 10]

Does anyone knows what will be localizations of final A3?

[chortles 263]

Peter Games/Morphicon is doing EFIGS (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish) localizations as the publisher for the boxed versions... beyond that, no idea.

[kilroy the nerd 14]

Is the "Katiba", the Iranian AR/Carbine supposed to be a TAR-21 modified for caseless ammo, or a seperate Iranian weapon entirely?

Also, I find it a shame that we couldn't find anyone who spoke Farsi/Persian.

[chortles 263]

I thought that the Katiba appears to be the modified KH-2002 that was seen in a screenshot before the alpha release?

Wait, what? BLUFOR has the TAR-21. Katiba is definitely the Khaybar KH-2002 but modified. Notice how all the Israeli equipment has been removed from the Iranian faction? No TAR-21, no Merkava, probably no Namer either. The TAR-21 is now blufor's TRG, although I would have preferred the MK20/FN F2000.
