Just me or no content?

Hey all

Is it just me or is there hardly any content available in the editor, i mean i know its an alpha and very early build but arma has always been known for its mass sandbox content and i just feel its not there, the game feels empty on the units side of things, not many units to play with nor vehicles.

I know for a fact the content will increase as we go further along the line however would anyone happen to know if bohemia plans to add content to the alpha?

Give it a couple of weeks. They said 8 vehicles, so 8 vehicles it is.

ye i have no doubt they will eventually get added. This is the main reason i buy all of bohemia's games but i wanted to know if there where plans to add in content to the alpha?

[frostwyrm333 1]

Well, since it didn't receive even the first update, I guess thats a surprise.

There is already new content, i.e. mod/addons see Armaholic or here on the forum. BIS content has yet to be added really.

Its an Alpha, bro. Not going to be much content at this point. Be patient and enjoy what you have right now.

Best model comparison? Minecraft. Look at how much content Minecraft had during its Alpha stages, compared to where it is at now. As these months roll through and Q3 2013 approaches, we're going to see more and more BI-generated content be released to the public for testing and for us to sink our teeth into while the rest of the game is developed.

I like the public alpha model that people are using. It gives us access to awesomeness early, and BIS is getting money for its product to be tested (though, not by all the early adopters) instead of paying a professional company to test the game.

Just be glad that you get to play now, instead of waiting. Want to help the development? Start bug-testing and hit the development tracker so that BIS knows what they need to fix.

Edit: I completely misread the post, apologies

I meant to say that, as stated above, as it is still in alpha it might take some time for stuff to get added, maybe the next patch will bring new things!

Patience. First week of Alpha hasn't ended yet.

Remember that with Steam, your game will get updated in minutes, possibly with new content -- if they decide that the time is right for a new phase of testing.

Closing. As the threadstarter already noticed, this is an Alpha version of the game and not a full blown version with tons of stuff to play with.
