[Flash Thunder 10]

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

This you guys think this will run smoothly.

Please....

[nikiforos 450]

Think positive BIS if optimization is great more people will buy the game :)

[the_antipop 10]

The main thing to take out of that is that you will need either vista or 7 to run the game. Prior to this, DX9 was rendering the game, but no longer! Up, up and away!

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

Because we're keeping that to youtube, and it's already been said. While BIS will get my money, I hardly want them to shut up, I want to see more.

I still can't believe that that under water shot is Arma 3, when they said under water I was expecting something more...early trial kind of thing but they are really hitting it out of the ballpark especially if it gets darker the deeper you go. Oh just imagine if you could make under water tanks and other submersible vehicles! (Not talking realism here, just apeshit ideas) Have a map with nothing but water but a very very deep ocean floor to allow for all kinds of naval warfare or other exploration and such.. The new lighting really lends well to the eerieness of being in dark and murky waters and I hope that will be exploited.

It's also nice to see the developers point of view in terms of dayZ with that review, it seems they are more spirited in the "open modification" understanding than most people I've seen that go off on the "Ugh it's a milsim NOT a zombie game!" I think they missed the point.. (bringing it up because the Jay and Ivan address it).

Ah can't wait to see the E3 lineup, I hope yous guys don't hold back on the animations, and that we may get to see some adjusted physics and *crosses fingers* some screen displays of RTT in action.

Detterence... the mission really flashes the point :)

[zimms 22]

Nuclear launch detected!

[dale0404 5]

Wow, those specs are just cool. Wonder what in reality to have a decent game you will need?

[Booster 1]

Detterence... the mission really flashes the point :)

hmmm, well we know it won't be another nuclear tipped scud, maybe this time it's a multiple warhead nuke with an incredibly large strike range.

Detterence... the mission really flashes the point :)

oooooo Arma 3 may have an epic nuclear bomb with epic lighting???

Or perhaps nuclear is so 2012 and 2035 would have another kind of prototype weapon?

Or maybe deterrence is referring to... oh no wait all i can think of are warheads haha

Ahem... Tactical Nuke Firing T-100's :D

It incorporates the new with the old.

[jagheterjan 10]

Since it was 'really flashing the point', I was thinking more this kind of deterrence maybe?

[Sniperwolf572 758]

Deter enemies with ... flashbangs? *mind blown*

Indeed, although, that's not the only thing :cool:

Oh will be here 2D editor, too BTW? Just thought when I spotted that 2d editor icons :D

[Colossus 2]

Fair enough: New unit icons, red circle indicating player, blue lines inbetween units indicating a group, grids, grid numbering, the red lines indicating where your mouse is, text saying "Visit" when hovering over the waypoint, and new waypoint circles.

Are you satisfied? :p

Are you talking about their formation? It looks like a sextagon.

[royaltyinexile 175]

No :)

But now you mention it, that could be worth including for the name alone. All, form SEXTAGON!

Colossus seemed to get in in his shotgun-based approach to image analysis! :D grids, grid numbering,

Best,

RiE

maybe its we can set waypoints inside buildings?

or that its horrible not to scale. Or when we set waypoints in Arma3 theres about a 30 meter radius they will end up in :o :p

[danny96 80]

Man I think you have just hit the jackpot!

At least I didn't miss and began referring E3 as a new map. ;) And yes, I see what you did there :P

Hey... you were the ones who started with the sexual themes :cool:

[Trauma.au 10]

Such a tease, I wanna see 3d editor in action.
