Kotaku - "ArmA III Drives Straight Through My Heart" http://kotaku.com/5923517/arma-iii-drives-straight-through-my-heart Nothing new here, just coverage.

Hi, have we met? I've been to Greece and the Mediterranean sea many times, and my number one thing to do while being there has always been swimming and freediving. Crete, Milos, Naxos, Paros, and my personal favorite Antiparos. Ocean was a mistranslation on my part, I can give you points for that.

Naturally. Thank you, RiE. :)

I like it! It's just enough light for you to see the tree and rocks in front of you, but not enough to see any of units a bit further away. Unless of course this is light coming from a light source other then the night sky. But I doubt that, as the light intensity was constant regardless of where he went. I would like to see the sea a bit murkier/foggy. It's a little bit too transparent. But I can understand it might be a artistic decision so that combat under water is easier and, of course, the visual aspect.

I haven't read a manual since the late 90s/early 2000s, and that was because there was something worth reading back then. Now it's just a quick overview of the installation, control setup, epilepsy warning, credits & the standard legal content. Either that or just a leaflet telling you where to download the manual. ;) Anyways, I don't think you'll see this DLC in a hardcopy. Unless perhaps - though very unlikely, seeing how close we're getting to ArmA 3 - another DLC comes out. Something along the line of A2: Reinforcements.

I guess they'll take a few liberties when it comes to balancing it out, like what sort of weapons the infantry are using, but I don't think you'll see it more equal then that. A 7.62×39mm will still act like a 7.62, and so would the 5.56×45mm as a 5.56. It would just be silly and boring otherwise.

That was a good map. A proper airport, greater towns, industry.. quite a lot. It's a pity it hasn't been done with Chernarus as well, not to the same extent at least. So due to that, it's good that a "Chernarus 2.0" is in the plans. :) To me when I think about what's missing in Chernarus it must be an abandon ski jumping facility or ski resort from the Soviet era. I don't know, I kinda have the feeling it was that sort of place at one time. It's going to be interesting how this will evolve itself. Both ArmA 3 and ArmA 2 for that matter.

PC Gamer - "Day Z + Arma 3 interview — on Left 4 Dead, Skyrim, player emotion, and in-game disease" http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/06/22/day-z-arma-3-interview-on-left-4-dead-skyrim-player-emotion-and-in-game-disease/ This was originally posted in the ArmA 3 press coverage thread. However, since this is also relevant to ArmA 2 I find it reasonable to put it in record here as well.

Definitely worth reading that one. I can't wait to read the second part :)

No, you just have to read it all. I wasn't able to find it either. :) I like where this is going. Would it be possible to get the bar for the ammo count to display colour coding once it reaches a certain procent? 100% green 66,67% yellow 33,34% red

After the downloading, the dancing and the installation I'll be doing: 1. Create a new profile, since I guess ArmA 3 will also be using the Windows user name as its profile name. 2. Look through the face options and select a voice that suits the selected face. 3. MISSION EDITOR! :D 4. Create a unit (player) 5. Walk/Fly/Drive/Swim around for a while. 6. Re-adjust the settings (graphics, audio, mouse sensitivity, etc.) - I'll probably going to be annoyed by the fact I haven't ordered the new hardware yet. :p Then we'll go from there.

I didn't see this in the OP, so here is one more :p Server browser: Filtering of server names, mods, and/or missions you don't want to see on your server list. For example: Seeing only non-DayZ servers, either through a separate added filter (apart from what is current); or a minus sign or 'NOT' in front of the server name, mod and/or mission name.

Link from RiE's tweet. The Verge - "ARMA 3 brings the realities of war to the sea with new underwater combat" http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/6/13/3082787/arma-3-brings-the-realities-of-war-to-the-sea-with-new-underwater

Pros: It's a good mod. Made me see Chernarus differently. Attracted a large amount of gamers. Even a few talented ones. Created a lot of media coverage for DayZ, ArmA 2, ArmA 3, and BI itself. Which hopefully gave the gaming industry a chance to think differently about mod support (even though I guess Skyrim brings the same message) Provided BI the chance to fix and improve aspects of MP and bugs which either hadn't been discovered or deemed as a low priority. Increased sales. Cons: Not a lot of the new players are interested in other aspects of ArmA other then playing DayZ. This might change over time, though. What was DayZ the first couple of weeks, with quite a lot of teamwork (given that most of the players at the time had a background in ArmA), has now mostly turned into a shot-on-sight type of mentality. So you see, it's not all that bad. Comments about DayZ in every ArmA related article is a bit annoying but expected. Still, it might give one or two the kick they needed to try out the DayZ mod and then perhaps ArmA itself. There is one other thing I didn't add to cons - because it's more of a general server browser "issue" - and that is: filtering away specific names, mods or missions. Like, if I wanted to see every server aside from DayZ servers. Currently you can only use the filter to find specific names, mods or missions. I hope that this could be resolved in ArmA 3.

Well, I think you can add underground structures to the list, unless it's misquoted or theoretically speaking. Can a dev confirm this? Rock, Paper, Shotgun - "Interview: What's Next For Day Z" http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/06/13/interview-whats-next-for-day-z/ EDIT: Ninja'd :butbut:

Thanks for the update. It's understandable, of course, just heartbreaking. :( August or September it is then. :)

I want one :nervous:

I'm not very familiar with the AMD chipsets, but this one seemed to meet your requirements. Bare in mind there are other versions of this card as well, but this is the one I was able to find in a swedish store - unless of course you want it from somewhere else. Asus M4A87TD/USB3 - Specifications Asus M4A87TD/USB3 - CDON.se (799 SEK / ~£76) PS: You didn't specify what RAM chips you have. This motherboard supports DDR3 1600/1333/1066

I died a little bit inside me now. Hopefully tomorrow we'll see more. Great comic by the way. :o

Thanks, Ivan, for bringing him in. :D

Ha! It's a bunker. Bottoms up, Sniperwolf :p
