DnA 5143 Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Dear community, On this day we can finally share our plans for the rest of the year! You’ve all survived a long period of unclear and absent information, an insane and unpredictable incident in Greece, and most recently some news not all of you were too happy about. But now I'm incredibly excited to announce ... In less than a week’s time, on Tuesday March 5th, we are releasing our Arma 3 Alpha! :cool: Quick links FREQUENTLY Asked Questions :icon_evil: Edition comparisons Alpha briefing This is one of those things we would not have been able to do without the decision to go with Steam. Now we are finally able to deliver on our promise to release a public Alpha version to you. We think it’s a very cool package with lots of potential. Worry not if the current playable content is a little limited. You all know the Arma platform and what it can do. We will expand the content ourselves and there will be a large amount of extra content for the Q3 2013 release. Why do we concentrate on quality of quantity now? We want to focus your testing and feedback in certain areas - in this case on infantry first. Perhaps the thing I am most enthusiastic about: we are not restricting modding in this version, in fact we encourage it. Create and share scenarios, weapons, vehicles, systems and anything else you can think of. Together we can make the full game release later in the year mind-blowing for those who join us then. A slight caution: we cannot prevent having to still make large changes in our data during Alpha and Beta. This could mean your mission or add-on needs to be updated because we change a config class name for example. We cannot sacrifice that level of internal flexibility until the full release. Check out the new website for all the information. I will personally try to provide more updates on the forums from this point onward. Hope to see your feedback and play some MP on public servers soon! www.arma3.com Edited February 27, 2013 by DnA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
