Well then, I will put some mod makers names in a Hat and do a lucky draw. What I would have paid for Apex. They will get that as a donation. Lets be honest they do need support. People need to vote with their wallets. I am sorry...It says major expansion. You can argue semantics. But Major means alot. Unless it can mean a huge co-op show case and an island is major coupled to the odd Vic. and rubber duck. I see that EDen may go to Stable month end reading the ArmA 3 page on Facebook. So its then either slow improved updates to the sound until we get a big reveal months from now. Or maybe we will get some new info come end of February. Maybe Karel will drop some new yet surprise feature as big as Zeus. I kinda feel we getting the Emperors new clothes spiel here. Alot of stuff has been discussed months back. EDen. Shader tweaks. Sound. Which maybe is good to bring it up alot as if its a new thing-marketing. But "Major Expansion". Where is the major marketing? Seriously very cloak and dagger hush hush.

I do not know if your comment is likeable even though I totally agree. Let me explain. To like what you said is basically saying Yes I know it might be a huge let down. Maybe ruffle the Devs feathers. The barrage of Arma 3 criticisms is often incorrect. But there are also factually correct criticisms-Example Action Menu. Fan boys excuse all these. I am not a fan boy. I love ArmA3 but I am not blind. It quite honestly is unique and fun. So yes I agree with you! I do not want to be seen as a hater. I would like to encourage BIS to push hard because I will gladly pay for that. But I haven't pre-ordered because of A: Hype. B: I am deathly afraid its one island 3 new assault rifles a pistol and a guerrilla faction and that's that! The island to me is just that-an island. I like content. Sure Modders have made ArmA 3 grow. Their work has really matured. RHS. CUP, Massi etc. Toadie. JSRS. But the oft used argument is Modders make the game better, if you unhappy get a Mod. Just accept a possible mediocre official release of a BIS DLC/ Expansion and off you go. But is it really the Modders role to complete their work? Or technically grow their IP? If RHS develops so much. Do we say its fine..because RHS is doing it. Lets just avoid asking BIS for the same. Now technically you can say ArmA 3 with its two DLC's is complete. But after a few years now it needs something new only the Devs can create. So yes I am waiting...I would like to be wrong where Apex is beyond my expectations. I will further be honest and have requested numerous times a pre-order option for Apex. It now has happened. But my whole frame of reference was the Pre-order was to be coupled to more info. That way I knew what I was getting. Pre-order now without any real valid confirmed features or content is a risk. You should reward hard work and innovation with a fair financial return. Luetin09's video on Pre order is a reality check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKTIjIBsK5g Again I hope I am wrong...seriously. I would be the first to apologize. But its also hard not to feel passionate about ArmA 3.

No news is good news...I think we all waiting for something new so we can say something meaningful LOL. 3 More sleeps before Christmas. This is what I feel like regards Apex. Waiting on it like its Christmas. Has the Title art been released other then the pre-order Web banner?

Now I am confused Pettka has two ways to spell his name. His Twitter account. Pettka - Petr Kolář. And Joris is really from Amsterdam. I thought he was Czech. Sorry dude...

He lives...Pettka with two t's. Sorry my Czech is a little rusty. I like how you changed the topic from my request to correct etiquette on how to spell the BIS developers names. Do you have political/ PR accreditation LOL it was handled with such splendid brilliance.

Can we please Bohemia Beck, Jorris, Jay Crowe or Petka....Anyone reading this. Can we PLEASE. Have some new update. Asks in a Joe Pesci Lethal Weapon voice.

The food was good enough for a large scale invasion...which also inherently was the cause of the civil war over flour prices. It was called pita bread incident.

Misty quite honestly don't change LOL. So what you saying Moroccan food is out or at least Iranian kebabs is also not on the menu. If you hoping for Dev Diary on Tanoa. I think based on BIS'es tight lippedness on this. Expect this after EDen goes Stable. More so end March or maybe even end April. I have purposely not Pre-ordered because as much as the new island is the crown jewel as Jay Crowe has mentioned. I am all about those new bang sticks. Vehicles and Military content.

Bluking? LOL Why no Tapas from Papas or Olive Hut? My understanding Tapas is a Greek thing.

They Greeks. They all busy with Tapas and food. Not like they do more then that LOL.

I suspect we will only get real information on Apex end of March. Perhaps even late April. It does go live Q2. Hope I am wrong. Its likely going to be a steady roll out of updates for EDen. Mentioned sound updates and Shader improvements. I doubt we will get even posts on Dev Change log of any remotely related to Apex. Loose lips sink ships...

It dawned on me on my way to work this morning. What have we really been told? What really has been revealed lately? Borderline nothing. The confirmation of the VTOL and LSV have been announced last year. The concept art is not even a prelude to what we may get visually. In fact the only thing to come out that was new was the Console steered rigid hull rubber duck. Oh and that yet to be confirmed CSAT NAV device on a T shirt. From reading we will only likely get details-confirmed things that is likely the Q2. So....

I also hope we get Jungle camouflaged CSAT with a deeper story line. Secretly I hope it will be the Chinese PLA or the KPA with all that Propaganda rhetoric. http://www.travelpostersonline.com/ekmps/shops/travelposters/images/north-korean-propaganda-let-s-display-the-heroic-feats-of-our-army-and-people-in-the-stand-off-with-imperialism--8339-p.jpg

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been looking forward to this Thanks

Yes and Uniform Ironing/ pressing DLC

Well if it is limited. So much for the major flash point event in the Pacific mentioned in the base game.

The concept artist's name is Alex Jessup. His work is very futuristic military http://artoffuturewarfare.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Alex-Jessup-Helmet.png Perhaps this may have had influence. I am just wondering though why hasn't anything further then a VTOL and Light Strike Vehicle been mentioned. Is this their main set piece(s) only? I sincerely hope Apex doesn't suffer from lack of content or reskins. I do not count the Jet ski, the Prop plane or the Rigid Rubber duck as they are Civilian based vehicles. I am not going to pre-order at this stage. I am holding back till I see what value I get. As much as I love the game. Its the content that holds the Key. The island also may be a huge thing for them. But without really playable content we just have a greener island. If its limited I may just donate what I would have paid for the official expansion to a Mod maker. Again I would have paid more for more. But I will not pay for just a new plane. Fast dune buggy and a new gun or two.

No no stalk more information is valued here.

I think we will have to wait a few months for Apex details. Likely we will get a steady stream of announcements regards EDen soon. Pity though we couldn't get something new.

Here e is some intersting Videos on Logistics

Completely agree. Lets be honest without support or logistics in real life an Army isn't going anywhere. And you right. It is select a load out, mount up and go kill everything. I have watched a lot of Luiten09's Zeus missions. Logistics as is, is just a helo drop of supplies. That is that. You cant really set up as players bunkers. Static weapons are a mission. They cant really be packed into a Vehicle already set up driven to a set position and removed and used. Sure you can place said tri-pod and weapon system as backpacks in a Vehicle then. Get there you put them on then off again when you want to set it up. But its very backwards and forwards. No Ammo was modeled for any of the Statics so the closest you get to re-arming is a HEMITT. I haven't even tested if you can re-arm a Static because they seem to be once they set up they just never gonna be moved. I know ACE for ArmA 2 had better functions for this. But again Third party when a official system is needed. You cant get your Platoon to carry Mortars or Extra .50 Cal ammo. So that makes Statics further useless.

The issues raised with about the desire for hand to hand and Stealth kills. i abandoned making stealth missions because Engine limitations didn't allow for subtleties like that. Pity that there isn't some Module being made officially you can Group or link it with AI that makes them less vigilante and the players movement more fluid to do Knife kills. As the concept video shows the Animation can be done but the Engine needs to support Stealth. I have been thinking and don't Tar and feather me for this idea. But it would be interesting if Hero units can be introduced. Much of what made Operation Flash point awesome was its unique characters. Sure from a game play perspective they didn't do anything different from each other. Other then Looks and Voice overs. But it would be interesting if A spec Ops operator had the ability to do be less visible from detection at night. Or a Support gunner (Machine Gunner) could carry additional Ammo without effecting stamina too much versus a non machine gunner. An Infantry Soldier could move quicker. This would only be tied to specs hero units. Perhaps a fire team leader could introduce faster unit movement. I think this is do able engine wise since its just tweaking the current values. By no means is this well thought out skill wise. But i would like to see Charterers that apart from looks did something unique.
