Slightly off topic, but one of my friends told me that the civilian truck looks a lot like a toyota.

I had this issue for a while and managed to fix it. For me it was having mods/arma 2 content ported over. I undid this and things went back to smooth for me. I figured something was fishy when my brother showed me A3 lite on his comp and it ran smooth as butter (he has the same specs as me)

I feel like OP had a lot of interesting points, however the language barrier prevented me from understanding all but one, which was "opening doors/hatches" on vehicles. I personally think at the very least, with doors/hatches, they'd be nice to have for cover. For instance, if you opened the doors of the humvee or something, had some very quick cheap concealment/cover. It'd make just a little bit harder for the enemy to cap you in the head if they can't get a clear shot past the door of the vehicle as you're getting out. It'd make vehicle play more interesting if implemented well.

Stated by DnA in the thread that orlok linked. Can't wait to see some content moved over officially.

I think it'd be a cool idea for merchandise to have airsoft versions of a few of the weapons. Maybe even an opfor helmet 1:1?

My computer exploded so I wasn't able to get back to this thread as fast as I'd like (Power supply in desktop exploded, long story) . I'm assuming the client restart worked, or it was just delayed by a day. I was able to to get on my laptop and log into steam. 3 keys were there, was able to send one to my brother. Mods if you see this you can close the thread, thanks everyone for your help

I was hoping to send a key to my brother today, to see if I could sell him on getting Arma and using his gaming PC for something other then Youtube. Unfortunately, I didn't recieve the lite keys. I got the regular Alpha edition, not deluxe or anything, but the site says I'm supposed to get the keys? Apologies to mods if this has been discussed and resolved already, I did quickly look before. If this is a common issue I'd appreciate a link to the thread. (I have a habit of creating redundant threads)

I doubt it. I could be wrong but I don't think Bohemia have ever ported Arma over to linux. I wouldn't hold my breath. My suggestion if you want to play, is that you do so on Windows. You could also try Wine for linux, which could work to play the game on Linux, of course it's a gamble.

I know it's heresy to even mention DayZ next to the glorious Arma, but why don't they do what they did with DayZ hackers? Mass banning of detected hackers once BattleEye goes in. Let them feel safe for now, strike when the time is right :coop:

I think BI and BattleEye need to do the same thing they did for DayZ. The great hacker purge of 2012.

Running A3 on the Amiga 1200. I know guys, it's a bit overpowered for something like Arma, but I'm an enthusiast, what can I say. SPECS: Motorola 68EC020 2 MB of RAM Commodore AGA graphics. In all seriousness though, Phenom II x4 955 OC'd to 3.6ghz HD 7850 2GB, OC'd a little bit 4gb RAM banana My system runs the game about as well as I expect it to in the Alpha version. exploded an hour ago

I've had my cores unparked since a month ago when I got into Planetside 2, which it actually did help for. I can't comment on the performance increase in Arma though, I'd assume since it doesn't use multiple cores it wouldn't matter.

Can't wait for TOH flight model.

I think Clafghan. Me and my friends adore that map for small ops (5-6 people squads)

That was the first place I checked, only things in there is "Steam Mobile Access" "Half life 2" and "Dota 2" There's no Arma 3 lite. http://screencloud.net/img/screenshots/0c59fd04f2e9d64cfd848a316140ad78.png (138 kB)

I really hope Arma/Bohemia's success inspires other developers to take the PC more seriously. Being a top seller on 3 different games should be enough for some of the more "Console oriented" game devs (I'm talking to you EA Ubisoft and Rockstar) to start using the PC as a real platform instead of an afterthought where they just move console titles over.

Dude.. I totally want to visit Nogova in A3... My life won't be complete until this happens.

@antoineflemming I don't suppose I could trouble you for a source?

I'm with most of you here, I dislike the helmets, but I don't have any problem with the rest of the loadout, the guns seem decent for the iranian military, considering it's 20 years into the future. I think that as an alternative, they should have a helmet similiar, but a bit different from the nato forces, considering designs are always being adapted, and "borrowed" between armies as time goes on. Something like this?

Can't even express how many times this happens.. Usually ends up like this: "Qbert do you have any spare mags?" "Yeah, one sec, gonna drop them" "Guys...Guys!...GUYS! GUYYS!!!! GRENADE RUU-"

Like others said, we may see an "Arma 3 free" come out some time after release, for now (Or tomorrow I guess) there's the Alpha Lite, if you want a free version.

Yeah, I'm getting major performance issues. I used to get great frames, and then after an update I just can't play the game with AI anymore, way too delayed, and stuttery, I can barely move. Here's hoping it gets patched out soon.

I think the soldiers look fine. I wouldn't say they're skinny, they're just average "person size". It'd be cool if there was some units that were straight up Captain 'Murica, but I think the soldiers look alright. I think where it looks too skinny is that the uniforms look very "fitted" whereas in real life (footage is mostly what I'm talking about, I'm not in the military) the uniforms/armor/gear is baggier. Also, I agree with MaceUK71, muscle mass isn't everything, agility and precision is something to consider.

I've seen a few people complain that it's too arcadey, so I took a helicopter up and tried doing some crazy stuff using the editor. This is less of a complaint, more of an amusing showcase of what I discovered while whipping the chopper through the sky at breakneck speeds. EDIT: Learned a few minutes ago from a friend on Ventrilo that helicopters can apparently really do this. Mind = Blown.

At what point will we be seeing anticheat protection? Alpha or Beta? Also, will Arma 3 be trying to use VAC at all? I imagine that'd be a decent deterrent to hacking.
