Any large changes from the alpha?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

As I only have the Alpha Lite I am unable to compare the Alpha and Beta versions of the game. I am still on the fence about pre-ordering ArmA 3. If someone can answer these questions about the beta I would appreciate it:

- Are there any changes to the AI command menu (infantry) from the alpha?

- Are there any changes to the mission editor, such as a GUI (graphical user interface) for unit loadouts?

- Has grenade throwing been improved?

- Is there a GUI for mission pass/fail conditions in the editor?

- Has AI path finding been significantly improved? In the alpha the AI had great difficultly following me.

- Can we order the AI to throw grenades?

Any other notable changes introduced in the beta aside from scopes?

Thanks for your time.

will be done before beta runs out. see e3 videos

- Has grenade throwing been improved?

no

- Is there a GUI for mission pass/fail conditions in the editor?

has always been since OFP. You can set simple conditions through the editor.

- Has AI path finding been significantly improved? In the alpha the AI had great difficultly following me.

Never had that problem with Alpha AI.

- Can we order the AI to throw grenades?

No.

Any other notable changes introduced in the beta aside from scopes?

further optimizations and lighting system improvements that started during alpha phase.

Thanks for your time.

you're welcome.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll give it a second thought tonight.

Edit: Against my better judgement I bought the game. I am regretting it already. Modders in this community can't make a readme worth a damn as their instructions are wrong 50% of the time. What a pain in the ass making this game playable.

I thought we were getting the bigger island, I was disappointed not getting it. They showed it during the live stream and stuff I thought it was coming with the beta.

....you mean you didn't pay attention to all the different times it was repeated that Altis was not ready yet, that they were saving it for the final release. This was repeated in several videos including the recent videos during E3, and I think they even mentioned it in the live stream at some point but I can't be sure on that.
