TaxiDriver-OCC 10 Posted May 14, 2013 Once upon a time, I would have assumed that this was obviously, 100% true, but the marketplace seems to be flooded with nasty surprises these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simas 12 Posted May 14, 2013 Yes, it grants you access to the full game on release. Although I am not sure what you mean by that full account access. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaxiDriver-OCC 10 Posted May 14, 2013 What I mean is, the right to play the full game without making additional purchases. Before I pay money for "Alpha Access", I want to make sure I am not getting ONLY alpha access. I will also get beta access when beta drops, and then full-game access when the full game drops.. yes?

das attorney 858 Posted May 14, 2013 That is correct. Access bought now is valid up to and including the final product. (including patches later). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simas 12 Posted May 14, 2013 Absolutely yes :) It's on the official page: http://www.arma3.com/alpha/briefing "Enlisting not only means you will get to play Arma 3 early, you will also receive the full game when it comes out. Plus, you are contributing to its development directly." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaxiDriver-OCC 10 Posted May 14, 2013 Thanks for the responses. I usually cannot be bothered to sift through FAQs, forum threads and support knowledgebases to find answers to questions about a product I haven't paid for yet. I tend to regard it as someone else's job to sell me on a product :) I am going to be absolutely terrible at this game. ::goes AFK without letting anyone in Teamspeak know:: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
viper[cww] 14 Posted May 14, 2013 What the developers say:“Be one of the first to play Arma 3 and contribute to its development by providing feedback. You'll also gain access to the Arma 3 Beta as soon as it becomes available and receive a Steam version of the complete game upon release.†This is what it says right at the top of the steam store page for ArmA 3 Alpha.

kernriver 4 Posted May 14, 2013 Purcahsing Arma 3 alpha gets you the full game. Think of Arma 3 alpha as a pre-order with an opportunity to test the game in it's alpha and beta stages of developement and giving feedback to developers. If you find any bugs or have any sugestions you can report it here: http://feedback.arma3.com/my_view_page.php Good luck and welcome to the forums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nimrod123 11 Posted May 15, 2013 think of it the other way round, preordering gets you a discount and full access to alpha and beta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
