Coffeecat 10 Posted August 2, 2012 We know. Everbody will be able to download and play the Alpha. Atleast thats what Ivan Buchta answered on my question when i send him a mail 3 weeks ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Charles 22 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) That's not right coffecat, there are several restrictions to the community alpha: a) you'll need a computer to play it b) you'll need an internet connection to download it So at least 66.3% of the world cannot play the ArmA3 alpha. That's nearly two thirds of the world! http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm Edited August 3, 2012 by Mr. Charles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atleast thats what Ivan Buchta answered on my question when i send him a mail 3 weeks ago.Does this mean that the community alpha is actually an open alpha? :D (I already have ARMA 2, OA, BAF, PMC... but not TOH or ACR.)

gossamersolid 155 Posted August 3, 2012 Does this mean that the community alpha is actually an open alpha? :D (I already have ARMA 2, OA, BAF, PMC... but not TOH or ACR.) We've been told that everybody is allowed into the alpha, so I'd say it's open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsi24 12 Posted August 4, 2012 Because its very comon that betas are MP only. Those aren't betas, those are MP only demos with the launch bugs explained away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tremanarch 6 Posted August 4, 2012 an alpha needs more developement than a beta. so the gamma verion is the one that is the last version? is it the greeks alphabet or just a coincidence... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PuFu 4600 Posted August 4, 2012 lol what ^^? Alpha < Beta < RC < Release version. There is no gamma version in the software/gamming industry whatsoever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Onjin 1 Posted August 5, 2012 I'm just happy to have stumbled upon ArmA 1 & 2 on Steam in the first place. That was this last Friday, 8/3/12. Played demo and I am now hooked. ArmA 3 is looking mightily sick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twisted 128 Posted August 6, 2012 @Ekko: Welcome to the diabolical world of BI's anti-marketing campaign. Best! ~Froggy It works for sure fire arma supporters. But im surprised bis don't get more ambitious. Their recent successes show whats possible, and now that they have momentum and a great sequel coming up theyd be smart to run a strong marketing program for some key segments of their global audience.

Tankbuster 1747 Posted August 7, 2012 I think what he means, and I'm not normally in the business of interpreting metalcraze's ramblings, is that strong marketing is sometimes indicative of a poor game and in that case, the marketing budget would have been better spent making the game better.
