I think they have made Altis just a tad TOO big.

Nah only joking, absolutely amazing work guys, you have all outdone yourselves on this one, a very happy camper here.

Mick. :)

Anybody still to take a look...don't forget you need to refuel:rolleyes:

The sheer size if this is overwhelming...many thanks to the dev team for making such a beautiful island.

Yep, just crashed out of fuel.

WOW!!!!! 10 out of 10 boys......nice job.

Also, I'm getting 50-60 fps at 4000 distance with everything on full (except: FSAA at 2) while flying the choppers. (i5 ivy bridge @ 4.2 ghz with a gtx 680) No more flying through invisible power lines, but you actually hit them and die :p

Also can we make a rule that posting pictures of the inside of the dome compounds should be spoilers until the campaign is out? I will stay far far away from those.

The rest of the Island is stunning to look at. I love how dreary and oppressing it is despite the beautiful mediterranean scenery, with the wreckage and the military bastions everywhere.

You can refuel at gas stations...look on main roads on map

I don't know what you're expecting but they're pretty much empty like most Arma buildings.

HAZMAT specialist? are the biohazard domes some functions?

[Sneakers O'Toole 2]

Just spent an hour driving slowly from the lower west of Altis to the main airport near the middle. Absolutely fantastic Island, a true work of art. I knew it would be good but I am still impressed. Well done Bis! :)

Performance is an issue and is to be expected I guess. It is the usual problem for me of buildings really hitting the CPU hard. It may be time for a CPU upgrade I think.

I'm not sure Id be able to play online large coops in some of these towns given my performance alone in the editor.

But anyway, overall I'm very impressed. Best and most impressive looking BIS island yet, and I haven't even seen half of it yet! :D

Have not been able to leave the SE corner of the island. too much to see and it isn't even the most populated!! Just spent an hour (or more) in one town watching the AI duke it out, outfitting a warehouse as a garage with all my toys and weapons and just generally blowing stuff up.

CANNOT WAIT to see what the community does with such an awesome canvas, much less what the pros at BIS do with the campaign and potential of persistent missions.

Altis is, in every meaning one word and can convey: Epic.

(noted that AT launchers falling off a ragdolling unit are a bit light, fall like a sheet of paper. No big deal just one for the tweak list)

[Varanon 892]

No offense, but would it be possible to direct any Altis discussion to the appropriate thread ?

Yes, seems to fix a couple of minor issues and they're looking into the whole Altis below 5 FPS thing.

[Tyl3r99 41]

hopefully they wont remove anything major off the island

[nikiforos 450]

Remove?? :butbut:

This is the best island ever in Arma series , why change that?

Focus needed in optimization and adding new vehicles etc.

And giving us those biochemical weapons including hazard suits and coilgun tanks :cool:

Amen to this

Until I sit there 12k away on top of a mountain killing you with laser like accuracy with my OCed i7-980X and Titan GFX card, then come the QQs. ;)

Hence why you design the mission around it. It's not like every tank would have been replaced with the railgun. That would have been silly.

[Tyl3r99 41]

are we getting chemical weapons then? or is it a community wish?

There is no other information than a warning sign on a container.
