Actually the best investiment right now is get another game just to enjoy the power of your GpU ;)

Don't you see the big red circle with the trees in the middle of the sea!?

Just look outside of BI and see where games are heading. Check their graphic and their incrasing level design size. If your only comparison is CoD you are a double ignorant then. I hope you realize this game doesn't cast shadows from light sources. Not even one. I hope you realize this game uses 2006 shaders and the lighting is broken (it goes trhough objects). What about the tools? Why do you think the large majority of skilled artists doesn't even bother with this engine? Because it's not worth it. I know people that wouldn't work for this game even for money. And what about AI that can't even uses roads? What about the half arsed phyisic implementation and the ridicolously bad ragdoll? What about their animation system? THis game always had an huge potential that now it's vanishing with the hopes of having a decent game. And I hope you realize you don't know what are you talking about. Island looks good tho, but that's not enough. I hope they reveal some exciting stuffs later because this game is FAR from decent. PS, I will not stop posting this, they even failed on delivery of a decent trailer. And nope, mangroove trees doesn't grow in ocean water.

What he said. Pretty sure the FPS goal for devs is around 40 for high end PCs which is shit (I7 2700 , r9 280, 12gb ram, it's not the newest but it's pretty high end for a 2013 game) . Take it that way, with the dx12 implementation they are aiming for massive drawcalls envioriments like jungle, and we all know how shit this engine is at handling big drawcalls. So all benefits of dx12 are gone and you just have your 20-40 fps, like always. Dx12 isn't gonna save your arse on this new island. On the other hand, it will improve performances on other islands like Altis and Takistan. This is fuckin annoying. Every time a new thing of Arma comes out I have to wait at least 2-3 years to play it decent, but by then, it's outdated.

Because there's nothing to be hyped about. Except dx12 and water reflection there's no core feature, and honestly I'm sure it will keep begin like this. The Crow's answer when the interviwer asked if there was going to be any other feature other then the new terrain has been "Assets, water reflection and dx12". I was expecting more, but as always, BI never fails to disappoint me. mmmhhh key.

Oh yeah, I was expecting that excuse, except that mangrove trees can't live in saltwater. (they can live in saltwater, but not OCEAN SALT WATER)

Let's put some bushes down the water shall we?

Other then Dx12 (which is a standard thing for everybody now) nothing special.

It has been already said the past that the expansion will be focused on Civilians. Of course it was not intended to be A3L or any other RPG related thing, however it's still a weird coincidence that the only leaked screens shows something absolutly not related to war. I'm glad to see finally a real civilian faction but I'm a bit scared it will only bring benefits to RPG mods rather then Arma 3. From "this is war" by looking at the guy on the motorboat looks more like "This is summer, time to party". Just a first impression tho, and I'm curious to see how it actually is. Mainly I want to see if REAL underground buildings have been added.

He is talking about falling trees, once they are on the ground you can shoot trough them.

Thanks A3L! ehm sorry, I meant BIS!

Wow, excellent job there! Love the model, and I really like the texture!!

Agree! Also because at the moment the smoke grenades effects provided by BIS it's nice.. (maybe a bit too soft but thats ok) Keep this mod up! Never played Arma 2 without

In fact, that's our right. Other peoples should actually stop breaking our rights of complainers saying "that's eyecandy" or "these stuffs are useless" or "impossible" trying silence us :) , also because the last word it's and must be always from BIS. All the problems that a feature could bring however aren't of our competence, but BIS competence. If we have a performance issue that shouldn't be an our problem, but a BIS problem. Don't know if I can explain myself right.. :P Sure, but you shouldn't care about the cons, got the point? Cons are for BIS.

I would like to "remake" the question of the thread. If BIS could add furniture in the buildings, and fix all the bugs that could came along (even if AI cant be fixed, but that's not an actual furniture problem) , would you guys like to have the furniture? Now, that's not up to you say "yes it's possible to do","no it's impossible to do","priorities first" or "that's too much work "...these answers should be given only by BIS devs. Is that enough simple to understand?

Also because we are talking about very basic (meh, a simple table it's about 50 vertecis) models. How much impact would that seriously bring? Sure , the scale would be huge because of the size of the maps, but meh, as I sed before I like to play 1000 m view distance having detailed envioriment instead of 3000 with an empty and dead space.

Ahahah oh my god...what a bad attitude. Seriously guys. It's just about "would you like to have furniture ingame?" how can you say no? I don't understand. Sorry. The fact that have them would bring much work to do it's not MINE or YOUR business. That's the developers job. I don't care about how many problems these things would bring ingame, for sure that means these problems will need to get fixed at some point. And honestly I'm not even worried about "when" but "IF" things will ever get fixed. Oh, even Grass it's useless, and belive me grass is a frame rate killer.

Bad, I love you so Badly.

What about Arma 3 Furniture Pack as DLC ? release in 3 episodes : Kitchen, living room, bathroom :dancered: No but seriously : M1lkm8 is just right. Weapon resting and AI has really nothing to do with envioriment. All these people complaining about these stuffs are just offtopic.

Sorry, but what you sed doesn't mean much. 1) AI is a problem. 2) Glitchy houses are a problem. 3) Missing furniture is a problem. Following your mind that would simply mean "don't solve the problems". Meh, that's my personal opinion... But on foot I would enjoy playing with a view distance of 1000 m having furniture and others small details, instead of a 3000 m view distance but with a pretty empty envioriment :)

The bipod model AMS agent is refering to it's about the early stage of the Alpha, were the bipod ( attached to the MX SW) was static and in deployed position. After that community complained a lot about the missing bipods/weapons reasting feature BIS thought it was better to make it folded back on the model. I'm quite disappointed however, because community it's complaining and requesting this feature from long time before the Alpha release of the game. Also because technically that shouldn't be that hard make a decent weapon resting feature in a game (ok, myself couldn't do that, indeed, but they are the developers). Adding it would make the Community super Happy and would let them forget for a second about the others f-load of bugs and missing features. At the moment the attachments system in Arma it's just bad. You don't have the slots right now to add also the bipods & foregrip. That would mean also rework the gear system (that wouldn't be a bad idea at all, since I personally don't like it) So at the end, yes, they should do something for that and I really hope they will. But I'm more then sure they wont do anything about it

Looks really fun! Keep it up!

Very nice models, I really love the sculpted details. I might suggest you to use the A3 Head reference, just google "Arma 3 modding characters" and you will find it out. (I cant post links yet, since I registred yestrday) ;) Keep it up!

Awesome modelling skill! Good luck with this mod! looks really promising
