Hi. sorry to bump this thread but i have a simple question. is there a six updater that has been implemented for Arma 3 yet and if so, can someone point me to the url please? i checked here http://www.six-updater.net/2012/05/all-new-six-launcher-click-and-play.html and it contains only Arma 2/Dayz one

I get what you are saying but you got to understand the complexity of the ai. It is dynamic unlike other games. This is why I am waiting on someone to tell me a game that's similar in complexity that offers better ai? Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Name us a game that has better none scripted ai? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

That is how I feel . This plays more like a released game . I have seen and played buggier games at launch. This is very solid indeed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

U lost the plot man. if u hate steam dont buy arma 3

How is the controls and movement? similar to Arma 2 or more Battlefieldish ie more fluid and responsive? Has anyone maxed out the game at 1080p with a decent quad core CPU and say a 580gtx? What are the framerates like? anyone finally getting 60fps and above on max settings? at what res? Gun sounds: have they improved dramatically? sound more realisitic and loud? Are all buildings enterable and fully destructible like in BF3? Does the game uses the steam game server browser to select and join a server online? Can u join a fellow friends server that they are in i.e in steams friends list, if u see them playing arma 3 in server A, u can click your friends name and click "join game" and it will automatically load your game and join in same server as your friend? Thanks in advance

i have my laptop with me :) i can purchase next week then wait till i can use my main rig and download and play!! i played amra 2 right from release and played 100 of hours on it with different clans etc. it was amazing and have had the best experience in mp in this game. i then put this game down about a year ago due to the fact that to get the very best out of this game u really need to have a spare 1 hour of no interruptions to play this game and with the wife nagging me once in a while, its hard to concentrate in arma 2 for large periods.

i wont be able to use my main pc rig for two weeks :)

I am hoping all the mods will work under steamworks which is a mod tool feature similar to sixupdater but built into steam. i used it for Skyrim RPG game and it worked really well

until when are these offers available till? i.e can we still buy arma 3 in the same price 2 weeks later?

YESSS ITS OFFICIAL http://www.bistudio.com/english/company/developers-blog/356-arma3-steam-dev-blog It will a steam work. finally. my prayers have been answered well done BIS

or six updater :) i personally dont know how this thread is 32 pages long when one or two posts would have answered the op's question lol

Steamworks is the best solution mate

Hi. will Arma 3 be demoed and shown at E3? if so, when?

hi there. is there a dedicate dthread posting all e3 videos of arma 3?

if you cant work out how to use steam, then god knows how u got arma 2 plus the zillions of mods worked. ---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ---------- just like arma 2,s mod manager support? o wait there is none, you need to use a third party one like six updater! nooooooooooo

no u dont. Again another user that doesnt know much about steam. Are you the same person that said you HAVE to be online to launch steam lol

And that is my main point and if people READ exactly what i posted they would have found that out ages ago. point = either implement a friends/buddy list and a easily managable mod GUI, or use steam. Its simple as that. Nowhere did i mention achievements, stats and leaderboards as mentioned earlier on. Agreed? Do we all agree that we SHOULD have some form of friends list/GUI mod management centralised system for Arma 3? that is what the POLL should say

Steam is a constant changing application so your wishes for it to be fully customisable could come true. its not as if Valve stop working and updating steam mate. What if it did have customization. what will you say then?

Do people actually read before they post? please re-read my posts again stating why a system like steam benefits and while you are at it. can you also highlight in bold where i mentioned stats, leaderboards and achievement. Cleary you have not read any of my posts, even the one above yours!

But my point is, steam has the power to install and auto update your mods. people said it doesnt when it does. Also, how do you manage with six updater then? that doesnt have a fully customised UI, you cant change fonts, colours etc so how can you dismiss steam for none customizable UI compared to Six updater? And like i said, Arma 3 NEEDS SOME sort of steam/battlelog system in place. All i was suggesting is that if BIS dont have the time and man power to create their own, they should use existing ones like steam/origin whatever. Most people play this game online. it is a PVE at its finest. thats what the Arma series is all about, PVE/PVP.

Are you high? if steam is a huge system usage to u, you need to upgrade your slow weak pc if it cant run a simple 50mb ram usage app in the background. your pc couldnt even browse the net if it cant run steam. upgrade your pal. even my Android smartphone can run steam in the background ---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ---------- how do u work that out? look at the huge success of Skyrim, a very heavily modded game that runs flawlessly on steam keeping all your mods up to date automatically ---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ---------- How would you find say a friend here who browses these forums once in a while and straight up launches and play Arma 2 without logging into another third party bloatware chat like skype/msn. how are you going to find that person? send him a pm her ein the forums? say if he doesnt go visit the forum? he or she wont see your message and it is a missed opprtunity linking up to play with your mate. Now lets see how ti works on steam/dedicated login/friends list system. Before launching Arma 3 to play online, you have to log into either steam or a centralised alternative system created by BIS. once logged in, you can see if your friends are online playing the game. WOW that easy aint it? instead of using skype/msn which are more resource hogs and have more bloatware! See how useful a centralised system is? Imagine you had a friend who DOESNT browse no common forums that you do or uses skype/msn. good luck trying to ever meet up with that person or to see if he or she is online at the same time as you.

what a epic night! i played till freaking 1am!! Here is what happened. i respawned all the way in cherno and made my way north and met up with manble along the way and we teamed up together and followed the power lines going north east towards the damn where the helicopter is. we avoided most towns along the way and came across a couple of zombies. one i aggroed that split us up briefly. i took the zombie down and met up with manble again who waited for me but could have left me(cheers). We managed to end up where the helicopter is which took us an hour or two to reach their! we waited for Marker to join us there and he came with a couple of other guys in a jeep! manble had the final missing piece to fix the helicopter so hefixed it and we was off!! but it had low fuel so we all decided to take the jeep and go to the airfield nearby and get some fuel. We reached their and took as much as we can and came back to the helicopter to refuel. after that we went flyed back to the airfield with he heli as it was still not much fuel so we went their and refueled the heli as much as we can. LOADS of zombies just popped up near us and we moawed them down! all of us with rifles so it was cool :) after refueling we flies around the major cities of the map and basically killed everything that moved around the big cities with the machine guns attached to the helicopter lol. Was the best night i have had on DayZ. soo good i was up till 1am when i normally goo to bed at 11 during the weekdays! was well worth it! some pics http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7092/7245636478_e79b92b706_c.jpg (334 kB) arma2oa 2012-05-22 00-14-13-66 by jonneymendoza, on Flickr arma2oa 2012-05-22 00-17-00-54 by jonneymendoza, on Flickr arma2oa 2012-05-21 23-58-41-33 by jonneymendoza, on Flickr http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7099/7245573202_e1883c1a93.jpg (107 kB) arma2oa 2012-05-21 23-57-49-43 by jonneymendoza, on Flickr http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7090/7245533124_7f0d1fa38d.jpg (105 kB) arma2oa 2012-05-21 23-50-25-50 by jonneymendoza, on Flickr arma2oa 2012-05-21 22-21-19-57 by jonneymendoza, on Flickr

So just because you are clumbsy and click and share your user details to all means we shouldnt have steamworks for this game due to your ignorance? LOL. ---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ---------- But you need REMOTE ACCESS to play online. got it? PLus its been said a thousand times. steam has a OFFLINE mode

Your BI arma 2 stuff can be hacked too mate and you lose your game. Also, most steam account that get hacked are due to the steam user owner themselves clicking on dodgy scammed links or using some easy password too. ---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ---------- If you have slow internet connections. Expect to have issues on a big standard DRM free Arma game or any other MP game. Again, steam is not the issuem, your own internet connection is. I can bet u a million quid that 9/10 arma 2 players have decent net connection able to run a client like steam in the background that uses less resource then a web browser. What arma and basically any online orientated MP game is a centralized account system that uniquely identifies a legit MP user in the arma universe. Steam/Steam works offers the tools to do this. right now, there is no such tool on arma 2 and this is what Arma 3 needs whether its done via steam or if BI implement a similar system(like battlelog) then fair enough. it needs it.
