Hey Dwarden, I was wondering if you guys are making some plans to secure the "Dayz" mod into Arma 3, instead of Rocket going away as a separate product. Maybe put it as part of the core game as a multiplayer mode.
I mean, Arma 2: CO is right now No. 8 in the Steam top sellers. You should answer to the demand and plan something.
Rocket is one of the ARMA 3 MP Designers ... how you cameover he going away ? :)
anyway no comment ;)
as everyone knows i don't discuss or comment unreleased, unconfirmed, unrevealed products ;)
but i like to speculate about mystery future :)
btw. were were TOP 3 last evening and previous night in TOP 5 sellers ;)
New video, about the lightning.

edit: heh, even better than the new lightning is the glimpse of the new "tactical pace" movement, it seemed really smooth and responsive.

Frankly I think these guys are good game designers but should license a FPS engine from someone else.
Can't wait for the underwater zombies from DayZ.
I doubt any other engine on the market allows what Arma games are doing.Originally Posted by ElGuapo
What other engine have everything they have done?
Look at the feet of the civilian swimmer! Incredible unrealistic!
:P
Dear god, no.
Please.
No.

Wonder if there are any 1st person shots from ARMA3 yet? I can only remember seeing 3rd person non-UI ones.
Really hope they improve mod/mp support in ARMA3, as they have seen the past few weeks is that a proper mod will not only increase the longevity of the game but also bring in new customers in the long run. I suppose a few of them will be bummed off by getting kicked by repeated servers with no discernible error messages, or having to restart the client to add a "-mod=" switch to their launcher... Its the "little things". I'd say the best MP browser these days is the BattleLog for BF3.
Watch the video.
Today I learnt something new.
The guy who did this animation mod (which is a great job for an amateur)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vklOq6KFQy4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nRtA6wrM80
was hired by Bohemia, which explains some stuff I have been hearing about the game, as the new tactical pace movement and new high/low stances.
Is there some near-future reason why those divers don't have oxygen tanks? Gill-masks?
Don't they have them in front of them?
From the screenshot it does look like rebreather gear on their chests. The lady near the surface excluded, obviously.
Can't wait for the sillyness of the AI underwater heh.
What is this, Quake II?
I don't get it, how does it look like Quake II?
Lighting/colours.
The contrasting colorful lightning. It was a "thing" in Quake II, it used a lot of colored lightning as it was a novel thing in 1997. But looking back, they went a bit overboard because the novelty.
New interview, not a lot of new stuff.

I fear what they consider "an average gaming PC these days". I think they have a different definition than mine and the rest of mortals.GON: Many people felt that ArmA II was somewhat unoptimised and ran slowly on machines that should have been able to handle it. Do you feel that ArmA III will address these issues?
Ivan: Hopefully yes. Of course, we have added new rendering techniques into the engine, which makes it more demanding, but with the computing power an average gaming PC has these days, ArmA III should both look and run well.

That comment makes ARMA III look like a non-starter for me. My system is pretty robust, but ARMA II offers pretty inconsistent performance, and their most recent game (Take-on Helicopters) is a bit of a dog performance-wise.Ivan: Hopefully yes. Of course, we have added new rendering techniques into the engine, which makes it more demanding, but with the computing power an average gaming PC has these days, ArmA III should both look and run well.
The power curve for PC's has slowed way down. The "average gaming PC these days" isn't much different from what was available when ARMA II was released.
Yeah, the average gaming PC now is more powerful than one from 2009... but not by that much, because there is no need to buy a much better computer with most games being cross-developed to consoles.
Lots of people have the same computer from three years ago.
new ARMA 3 video sneak peak for E3 2012:

if You want know more and stay with the OA, TOH, A3, CC:GM etc. development, follow my twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/FoltynD
Ohh I came to post the video.
The Games on Net article is put above ;)
Looks good.
Okay, fine. I will buy this even though I've been crabbing about ArmA 2 lately. :)
Since most of the other FPS franchises are dead to me... save me, Obi Wan ARMA3, you're my only hope.
Show me some reloading animations dwarden! :P
I want to shoot from vehicle windows!
And we want to see a battle bus!
