Support NeoGAF

[Passive Assassin]

Curious to what 3d Scopes are. I feel like the R3F_Armes mod has most of the available scopes covered for almost any situation. And someone is modding a bow and arrow already. Glorious.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEO_ehg0Wyg Hm. Something like this for 3D scopes? That'd be cool.

 

[Orgun]

There's some really cool looking Enhanced movement mods in the work

Has the sniper stuff been added to the Wasteland mod yet?

 

[Anton Sugar]

Has the sniper stuff been added to the Wasteland mod yet?

Considering Wasteland is just a map/mode, shouldn't it have access to whatever weapons are in Arma 3?

 

[Dibbz]

Will the £20 price point last during the beta or is it primarily for the Alpha?

 

[Red Blaster]

Will the £20 price point last during the beta or is it primarily for the Alpha?

price of the game goes up for the beta so if you're interested at all buy it now

 

[Foffy]

Will the £20 price point last during the beta or is it primarily for the Alpha?

The Alpha is currently the cheapest version of the game you can get. The price will be raised for the Beta, and then again for the final version.

 

[Hawk SE]

Yes, but I think it might have to be scripted in.

 

[DrBo42]

Wish they'd adjust stamina, runs out way too fast.

 

[Red Blaster]

i wish there were some better coop missions available, i've exhausted armaholic's archive most of those are generic "do 5 objectives spread around the island" that need 10+ players and take like 3 hours to finish.

yeah i realize it's an alpha and i'm trying to learn the editor and make something myself but still. seeing all those sweet sweet arma 2 missions makes me sad.

That and the vignetting that goes along with it.

500 alpha lite keys give away http://www.cvgworld.com/2013/06/06/500-arma-3-alpha-lite-steam-keys-to-give-away/

 

[Anton Sugar]

12 Beta screens release. HNNNNNNNG

 

[Sethos]

Beautiful.

 

[Radix]

Here is the second pre-e3 stream they did a few hours ago.

They show off the combined arms showcase and a bit of Altis.

 

[Kayhan]

It is cheating when they post a real photo.

 

[-tetsuo-]

I'm trying to wait until beta to give the game some more time. That last screen is ridiculous.

 

[Sethos]

Man, when this game is released and we get some proper soundmods, ACE, ACRE and hopefully some maps / units that go back to the more 'Balkan' type of units and combat, this game is going to be insane.

 

[Red Blaster]

altis is going to absolutely murder the solid performance i've come to expect messing around on stratis

 

[-tetsuo-]

Urge to play, rising.

altis is going to absolutely murder the solid performance i've come to expect messing around on stratis

Shit

 

[Anton Sugar]

I think that was the shot that made me do a double take. Those choppers, man.

 

[Kahoona]

So is the full version of Arma 3 going to have more current-day weapons / vehicles that are already in use or are they going for solely near-future stuff? I'm talking about things like Apaches and M1 Abrams tanks.

 

[Sethos]

So is the full version of Arma 3 going to have more current-day weapons / vehicles that are already in use or are they going for solely near-future stuff? I'm talking about things like Apaches and M1 Abrams tanks.

Their entire focus is near-future, with some present day weapons making an appearance maybe in an updated form.

 

[FGMPR]

I'm sure they will be modded in very quickly, regardless.

 

[Anton Sugar]

I'm sure they will be modded in very quickly, regardless.

Yup. I'm pretty sure they were entertaining the idea of making all Arma 2 mods/content backward compatible.

I'm really interested in their mod support--if they develop a mod browser/manager/installer tool, that would be huge in getting more exposure for mods.

 

[Red Blaster]

they confirmed steam workshop support last week, hopefully modders embrace it fully

 

[Confidence Man]

Hopefully they redo the clouds, cause they look like they were made in Paint.

 

[Anton668]

lemme make sure I understand you...

you're saying this

and this

are of the same quality?

 

[Sethos]

Glasses, you need them.

 

[Jackpot]

They're volumetric.

 

[Confidence Man]

Alright, not Paint. But you're going to tell me this looks good? It looks spraypainted in. A pretty jarring contrast to the rest of the scene.

 

[Anton668]

first...
clouds in MilSims - Serious Business!

second...
they look nowhere as bad as you make them out to be.

third...
nothing better to do today than nitpick something irrelevant?
(really, if clouds are that much an issue to you in a milsim, you have some fucked up prioritys!)

 

[kutthoat5150]

when's the last time you went outside

 

[AxelLund]

Hopefully we get these type of graphics for dayz

 

[Sethos]

They look like clouds to me ... I think you've spent a tad too long in Skyrim with your fancy ENBs.

 

[Orgun]

Sounds like beta is coming on the 25th July

Please be true.

 

[Chance Hale]

For some reason I was hoping for a surprise "BETA OUT NOW" E3 reveal In any case I'm really excited for the beta, hopefully they continue to update the alpha in the meantime.

Corrected to 25th June.

Corrected to 25th June.

That would be even better! Where's it say that? Still says 25th July in the story

You literally have no idea what you're talking about, Arma 3 has the best cloud system in a game yet.

Amazing video, but Arma 3 needs cloud shadows badly, it was awesome in C3, really add to the scene.

They are planning to add it if I'm remembering a dev post in the alpha forums right

Yeah, think I read this, too.
