[Maio 293]

To sum it up (Confirmed features):

-TKOH flight model for vanilla choppers

-Shooting from vehicles

-Bipods & weapon resting

-Sling loading

•Paid-

-New transport helicopters :D

-New weapons :D

Let's not assume anything until we see it in front of us :). Past experiences have shown us that "confirmed features" posts can go wrong

Hi everyone, just a heads up, in a few weeks we'll explain in further detail how we're handling paid & free content/features in future DLC. Overall, it seems the original question for this thread has already been answered (but please don't take this as an exact confirmation of content/features).

EVERYTHING is FREE to those who paid the upfront package price during the Alpha.

What really worries me is... how MUCH are we going to have to pay for the new content, and how much are we getting in return.

I really hope this doesn't follow the Battlefield-ish trend of selling you a game then forcing you to pay 15 bucks every 2 months just to get a couple new vehicles and 5 new rifles. It would be a huge disappointment. :eek:

Correction, everything is free to those who purchased the supporter package during alpha.

It has already been pointed out that the mechanical overhauls (sling loading, firing from vehicles, and optional RotorLib FDM) will be available to all of the existing helos in Arma 3 that you already paid for.

[Chairborne 2594]

I got that, but what i want is the content!

Right now i think Arma 3 is very low on content (we have only one heavy lifter ffs!), and it wouldn't bother me at all paying a reasonable 5-10 €/$ as long as what i get in return is worth it. What i do NOT want is paying that same amount to get almost nothing in return like many other commercial games that drain your wallet and give you ridiculous content.

I believe the upcoming DLC's are free for people who bought the "supporters edition" of Arma 3. And for the people who didn't, all the gameplay features/fixes will be free aswell, but the content will be paid. The upcoming 2015 expansion everyone has to buy.

Either way, at some point in the future Bohemia will put all this on sale on steam for like 3 or 5 dollars so I wouldn't worry to much.

Are there also other ways to buy the DLC? Cause I don't realy like buying on the internet

For now, at least, these DLCs will only be available digitally via Steam and our own store. Sorry for any inconvenience, physical media wasn't a viable option at this time.

The upcoming 2015 expansion everyone has to buy.

The expansion is also included in the Supporter Edition package:

A message to Supporter Edition owners [...] All currently announced paid additions are included without extra charge: Arma 3 Helicopters, Arma 3 Marksmen and the expansion.

Thank you again for your support since the early days of Alpha.

:)

Best,

RiE

I'll add that if one lives in a location where physical Steam Wallet cards or codes-on-the-receipt are sold, i.e. at a GameStop, one can pay there and then for the DLC itself just use the Steam Wallet funds as the payment method.

Hello everyone,

For my part I would prefer that BI and is striving to complete the Multiplayer and optimize maximum (servers and clients), no longer see these bugs in MP because in my opinion the future Arma 3 with its community dev. is the MP mode, then improved AI.

BI gentlemen, do you intend to achieve in the future Maritime DLC (Ships, maritime structures and units)?

Because I find the currently very poor and mostly untapped sea side.

Sincerely, =] FF [= Walt71.

[Chairborne 2594]

My best guess would be the upcoming expansion if you want better naval units.

If i remember correctly during the campaign the Pacific ocean is mentioned a few times so my guess would be somewhere in the pacific, maybe asia, since they said they would have created a new terrain.
