instagoat 133 Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Not what you thought it was. In anticipation of the lame screaming guy with gun photo on the case (no offense, bis) I went ahead and built a CD case with a "blue" theme for Arma 3. Inspirations come from the BF3 header with the soldier walking towards the camera, as well as the Arma 3 theme BI has already set up for us. The case features a rather crudely drawn SBS/Skull logo on the back, and a unique artwork on the front, built using lightly overpainted screenshots, as well as stock-pictures found on the web. As such, think of it as a photo collage. Hope that me making a new thread for this is okay, as I felt this didn´t belong into the wallpapers thread.

maddogx 13 Posted October 14, 2011 I really hope they do a better job on the Arma3 cover art than with the previous games. If I had my way, it would look just like the Arma X one. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always liked clean/tidy not so epic game/film posters. No offence to you InstaGoat, but i wouldn't buy a product in a case like you posted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
instagoat 133 Posted October 14, 2011 +1. I always liked clean/tidy not so epic game/film posters. No offence to you InstaGoat, but i wouldn't buy a product in a case like you posted That´s okay, it´s what I like, after all. Everybody has their own preferences. Part of the intention of starting this thread was to get some discussion going, as to what kind of case people would most like. What I did there´s sort of a sketch. I think what everyone can agree on, though, is that future Arma artwork should be less noisy than it´s been. The screaming soldier is a bit overrated and overdone by now. The Arma X case-art is a good step in the right direction, I think. Less is more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dead3yez 0 Posted October 14, 2011 You spelt Strength (Strenght) wrong and the logo is like an upside down ultramarine logo. :P Front cover isn't so bad though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow my bad. :V Will fix asap. The omega is a reference to objective omega, as referenced on the Arma 3 page. Edited October 14, 2011 by InstaGoat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5LEvEN 11 Posted October 14, 2011 I personally prefer the clean look. Although I do like the cover for my arma 2 CO. I personally thought they did a good job with making it. It felt like a high quality game in my hands :) (which it is). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted October 14, 2011 I liked the German OA Cover. It reminded me of OP Flashpoint http://12.img-preis.de/719117/Hardware/PC-Spiele/ARMA-2-Operation-Arrowhead-PC-Computerspiele-Strategiepsiel.jpg BIS should make a community contest for the best Cover design.

purepassion 22 Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) I have to say I am quite happy with the artwork we have seen so far! :) well.. to be honest, you see a slight "inspiration" but it still looks very nice! Edited October 14, 2011 by PurePassion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlGustaffa 4 Posted October 14, 2011 i wouldn't buy a product in a case like you posted You wouldn't buy Arma3 because of cover? :eek: For me personally, cover design never made a difference. I never buy stuff blindly, I always check the net for info. Game series I already know and love, I will buy blindly, disregarding how it looks, if only to support the devs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
That guy 10 Posted October 14, 2011 Im with PuFu and the others for the clean sharp and less generic angry army guy ArmAX look edit that "upside down ultramarines" logo is know as omega :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Game series I already know and love, I will buy blindly, disregarding how it looks, if only to support the devs. ArmA3 is an exception, because i sort of know what to expect. no need to take my words out of context. Besides, i am sure i would get de sprocket version. What i meant to say is: if i were to buy a product based on its case, i wouldn't buy one resembling the one Insta posted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windexglow 10 Posted October 15, 2011 Covers should tell what something is about. Arma's covers do not. I remember when arma2 came out, someone made an awesome custom cover. ACU camo with a bit of grunge, it was simple and clean. It didn't have no ultra cheesy sweaty airsofter on the cover either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about cover with a guy sitting on his ass in front of a computer in a dark room with a big bag of dorrito's beside him and a 2 litre bottle of coke between his legs? Personally I'd stick with the airsoft..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katipo66 94 Posted October 16, 2011 Cool graphic InstaGoat, but i think the cover should portray a bit of openness of the world or something, somehow showing the point of difference from all other FPS games, kind off angled to those who may not know the game as opposed to us fanbroz :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, don't like it. too hoolywood. I like the one Tonci posted for the German cover. that tone is perfect for ArmA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
