Development Blog & Reveals

[danny96 80]

i have a nice brand new name for BI -- Bohemia Introllactive.

Yeah and ARMA3 should not be Armed Assault but Trolled Assault

[Smurf 12]

ARMA doesn´t stand for Armed Assault anymore.

Anyway, when are you guys departing to LA?

[purepassion 22]

And what about my :icon_twisted: - key?

Absolutely underused

Absolutely underused

I am still quite surprised by theories about Prince of Arma's pic, or lack thereof. I had hoped for some near to real guesses what could it mean to player community, what are we going to show and stuff :icon_twisted:

It seems that we are crunching in vain. No moar work on A3 'till Prince of Arma's going to be praised and held on hands on E3, abandon (pa)troll routes, lads :icon_twisted:

You can crunch wherever you want (even in Wain, Germany), as long as it's not done in vain. ;)

I understood, that i have understood nothing. WUT?

Pettka, please stop do "It seems that we are crunching in vain", apply main Community wishes ;) thanks ;)

[Smurf 12]

Well, there is an enigma behind this pic too?

Probably nothing realted to the Alpha since it is a series of Showcases and one Campaign Mission, whereas the Alpha will be focous on MP (or not.... OO).

"Deterrence theory, a theory of war, especially regarding nuclear weapons"

By my conclusion I may say: I am not good at those things.

OK homeboy... it's on:

• Firing drills: Introduction to new animations that influence firefights a.k.a stances,etc
  
• Weapon pool: Weapon show n' tell . The mystery rifle mystery will end.
  

Showcase:

• Infantry: Awesome new tactical lookin infantry showcase ( maybe also the customization system)
  
• Diving: Even more creepy female stalking

All I see is no Jet training/showcase and there is more that one type of support... ie more than arty. ... unless the pic is a coded/encryted message...Steganography:confused:

New Minimum specs announced for E3:

"The Community Alpha will probably start by showcasing the infantry combat and some of the new features, but we plan to release few upgrades and feature additions as we are interested in players' feedback."

[maturin 12]

Dual Core 2.4Ghz?!? 2GB RAM? Can that be possible?

Mighty ambitious of them. those are pretty much the same "requirements" as a2... BI must have really improved performance. We are getting better graphics, and hopefuly improved ai and it will still run on thes requirements... awesome. I hope this is the truth. Means I won't have to upgrade to play the alpha (even if only the bare minimum) and I have more time/money to build my super computer.

[Dingo8 1]

Dual Core 2.4Ghz?!? 2GB RAM? Can that be possible?

I think DX 11 + PhysX + various other engine optimizations probably allow much better use of hardware resources than Arma 2. I'm still surprised the minimum requirements aren't higher though. Keep in mind more optimizations are probably going to be done both before and after release.

[Steakslim 1]

Note: MINIMUM specs, to just run the game at god knows what low settings.

[nikiforos 450]

Great news I might not need any upgrade to play the game :)

[NeuroFunker 11]

i wonder, why nobody have posted this yet: shut up, and take my money! :D

[danny96 80]

ATI Radeon HD 3830? Is It better than ATI Radeon HD 5770?

[Maio 293]

ATI Radeon HD 3830? Is It better than ATI Radeon HD 5770?

Nope... it's the 3000 series. You got the 4000 and then the 5000 ;)

[danny96 80]

Wow, So they even lowered the system specs to about half of what they had before ! Nice optimalisation!

[roberthammer 582]

Beware those system specs are Minimal to Run the game and not to play smooth

am sure you will need a beast to run it on high settings
