papanowel 120 Posted June 13, 2013 If I'm not mistaken static weapon won't be part of the beta content. I have not clue about the other objects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freeborne 10 Posted June 18, 2013 According to Armaholic's compiled list of confirmed features for ARMA3 (full release), the imminent beta release will be missing a MASSIVE amount of content (and features) from the final product. http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=14450 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_development http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle Beta is feature and asset complete version of the game, when only bugs are being fixed.[137][138] This version contains no bugs that prevent the game from being shippable.[137] No changes are made to the game features, assets, or code. Beta occurs two to three months before code release.[138] Beta is the software development phase following alpha. It generally begins when the software is feature complete. All we're getting in this beta is 4 helicopters, 2 armoured cars, some trucks and weapons. I've been a long time fan of OFP/ARMA, but this beta doesn't excite me in the slightest degree.

Anachoretes 10 Posted June 18, 2013 Beta contained few vehicles, few helicopters, new faction, new (vehicle-based) showcases. But I think over time the beta will be expanded. Its are good thing - i wanna be surprised on release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ziiip 1 Posted June 21, 2013 So we have a bunch of new assets, but what new gameplay mechanics are there? So far I have only noticed the 3D scope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakson 1 Posted June 21, 2013 So we have a bunch of new assets, but what new gameplay mechanics are there? So far I have only noticed the 3D scope. Bugfixes... noticed a couple. New options too... gonna try it out more extensively tomorrow. Really nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalkerDown 1 Posted June 22, 2013 There must be a new definition of "beta" .. what's next? We will call "beta" the GDD before we even write the first line of code? :) Whenever any developer seems to assign a different meaning to the word "beta", a beta is contents complete, so i'm not sure what's about this beta thing with missing contents? Doesn't make much sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrLoK 20 Posted June 22, 2013 Hello there I wouldn't worry about terms such as Alpha/Beta, they have adapted over time to mean something other than their dictionary definition. Happens all the time in the English Language. Just assume "Beta" means the one that follows "Alpha". Rgds LoK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dark6-6 10 Posted June 23, 2013 Check it out yourself. Opt in, download, enjoy. Double the number of vehicles, tons of new uniforms, new weapons, better performance....it is amazing. Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
