Is Arma 3 Authentic? Do you think Arma 3 looks oddly futuristic? Do you think it looks more like a fantasy game than Arma? Have you never seen some of those weapons or vehicles? Then this Thread will help you! It is dedicated to people who, from the first impression, think Arma 3 is not authentic. People who would like to easily show someone that in fact the opposite is the case and last but not least also people like me, who just like to discover all those little interesting details. I hope this collection might actually help and open some eyes to get over this first impression of "future stuff". Please keep in mind that this list also contains placeholders and concept assets that are not in the final game but kept in this thread for the sake of the comparison. Get comfortable, lay back and just assure yourself! :popcornsmilie: Vehicles: Merkava tank Here it is in real life and that's how it looks like in Arma 3. Also notice how it uses the "Trophy" active protection system.

Arma 3 will take place on the island called "Limnos". Its real-life counterpart is called Lemnos and is situated in the Aegean Sea. The second island is called Agios Efstratios. If you are interested, I made a Picasa Web Album with a huge collection of pictures from Lemnos, Agios and similar places you can find here. Now, let's take a look at some comparison shots of Limnos vs Lemnos. • Nr.1 • Nr.2 • Nr.3 Agios Efstratios: Arma 3 vs Real life • Nr.1 • Nr.2 • Nr.3 Next to the general outlines of these islands, the team even accurately modells characteristic buildings one can find there. One example for that is the Limnos Power Plant. • Arma 3 • Real life As you can see, even the ventilators and the fucking pipe are in the correct place! I hope you enjoyed taking a look at this collection and maybe look at things from a different angle now ps. Huge shoutout for the team! When researching all the pictures and information for this thread, I was really astonished by the amount of detail and love you put into the game. kind regards pure

Congrats on the updated release! Loving your new sounds LJ :)

Most importantly, make sure to remove ANY logos or brand names in text or image form that exist in the real world (Titus, Nexter, Tatra etc) from your mod. I cannot provide any legal advice and copyright in general is heavily dependent on the individual cases but 3D models are subject to copyright laws, even when there is no monetization involved. It is possible that this company copyrighted their orthographic designs as a three dimensional design. I recommend you to be prepared to substantially change the 3D model itself so it can be considered a derivative or fair use (education, research). To be safe, consult with an IP lawyer, many offer free initial assessments and don't release any files before this is fully worked out. I have to say it's quite sad this company decided to take this route...

Since we didn't have a propper space for this and the Press coverage Thread is rather innappropriate, is this a dedicated Thread for the Behind-the-scenes Pictures you can find here and other published "unnofficial content". BIS is updating them on a regular base and you can really get a good impression of the working process or just some random buro impressions I especially liked "the noobs" :P But next to the funny stuff, we also discretely get glimpses at some engine enhancements

Congratulations man!

Congrats on the release guys! Now properly enjoy your holiday season! Since CUP is the continuation of AiA and AiA is no longer maintained, the thread is closed. Please continue discussion in the release thread linked above

This is all we know about the expansion. It will be set in the same timeframe (2035) as the rest of the game.

Another game I personally very excited for: Kingdome Come Deliverance!

Here is Arma 3's E3 PC Gaming Show Presentation revealing the stunning Tanoa terrain and more juicy details of the upcoming expansion

And for everyone who missed the presentation, here is the full E3 PC Gaming Show panel discussion

Here is the Youtube Upload of the full panel discussion including the Tanoa Trailer

Thread renamed. Congrats on the release!

If you see issues with the game, feel free to submit a ticket on the official bug tracker. Rants with personal insults will get you nowhere.

The only thing said was That sounds more like technical investments (AI routines etc). Arma will stay what it is.

No idea where you got that from but it's not the case.... :D Regarding the leak as a whole: The content you have seen is valid and was indeed not intended to be published yet. No "orchestrated" event but simply an honest mistake. Apart from spoiling the surprise, not much damage has been done and as outlined in a PM to Smiley Nick, business will go on as usual. Keep an eye out on the E3 presentation in about 3 days for the full, still unseen, video and further details though!

You are allowed to say what you want and complain about whatever you like, as long as it is in the restrictions of the forum rules. The thread you posted in was not but a very specific one discussing only reveals of upcoming content. A place for us to hunt for tips and leads. Your post was simply off-topic and this was the reason it was removed.If you want to discuss the DLC's, their content and their price, you are encouraged to do so! Please use one of the existing threads already discussing this. Thank you!

And with that being said, any further discussion of the MANW contest, jury and outcome should go to its respective thread, where it will be recognized the most. Thank you!

Let's get this thread back to its former glory! Original file http://i.imgur.com/A9uJI2i.png (196 kB) Forensic analysis http://i.imgur.com/Pg4MYbH.png (220 kB) Contrast and brightness edited http://i.imgur.com/op2S1Bh.png (244 kB) Results The forensic images suggest that a picture has been cropped and edited with the selection tool to create a new foreground layer. In order to receive contrast between the mountain side and the sky, the picture was most likely not taken during the night. So why was the lower portion of the picture edited and not simply cut out? There are clear remains of what appears to be the ocean and two to three larger and lighter artifacts.
