Please tell me the BIS Store will be up in the next 45 minutes..

 

[owlbeak]

BIS Store down. :'(

Steam won't update until 1pm (EST). :'(

 

[Sethos]

I think they are keeping the store offline until the last second, because people are DDoSing the hell out of it.

 

[Flunkie]

So all these improvements - we're not going to see them in the standalone DayZ right? That'll take awhile to get used to.

[leca]

[BadTaste]

[Sethos]

I haven't been this excited about a game in many, many years This is true hype for me.

 

[Xyber]

So close now, I hope the site won't die.

 

[Starfish_Oxide]

LZ designated ArmA 3 Alpha is 5 mikes out. Over.

 

[Sethos]

And BIS store is dead again

 

[leca]

And BIS store is dead again

Available now! *clicks*

[Legato.Reborn-]

Yeah.... We're DDoS'n the shit out of it right now.

I'm sure this is a moment of joy and sorrow for BI right now.

 

[FordGTGuy]

Store is DOA.

 

[Sethos]

I'm sorry but I hate that idiotic approach every. single. developer takes of doing one specific release time and THEIR SERVERS ALWAYS DIE!

Thanks, downloading right now. 5 minutes to go.

 

[Sethos]

Eh, I'm already getting tired of this shit. Think I might pick up the Steam version and then Valve can get a share of the money.

 

[Beaner]

I've managed to add the supporter edition to my cart, but now I can't view the damn thing

 

[The_Player]

Sorry BIS, not going to wait for you store to wake up. Bought from Steam.

Got it on Steam, screw their store and supporter edition. You blithering idiots BIS, learn how to handle this properly.

 

[Addnan]

Bought it on Steam, never played an ARMA game, so not really sure what I am getting myself into here.

The dive is deep but well worth it

 

[spindoctor]

I'll give the Bohemia store a while longer before I grab it on Steam. Can anyone confirm that they accept Paypal?

 

[Isomac]

Nice. I hope it works well! At least Steam is downloading it fast. Which is rare for me. I hope it's a good sign.

 

[robin2]

Ok ok , I'll cave in. Damn it.

 

[FordGTGuy]

Ok ok , I'll cave in. Damn it.

Now's the time if you want you're just going to pay more.

[Lucid07]

Never really played ARMA before, bought 2 to play DayZ and had a play around with it then when I got bored of the mod, what am I to expect with online? Do GAF play it regularly or will you be playing this regularly?

 

[raphier]

Damn, only just from this thread I can tell how much impact DayZ has done to this game, with the same formula nobody cared about years ago.

 

[Lord Griegous]

Bought! Can't wait to get back into some ArmA action.

On a side note, anyone knows of any European based coop clans of note?

 

[Spat_triate]

Yup. I never thought I'd see the day people with no prior experience, impulse buy an Arma game. It's incredible.

I have next to no clue about this game, so forgive the nature of the question but I'd rather a gaf enthusiast to answer it as opposed to a random google search.

Is this game one of those crazy fucked up über realistic behaving operation flashpoint type of deals? Or is it trying to be a bit more on the user friendly side even if realism suffers a slight hit?

While some things have been streamlined, it's still uncompromising in its difficulty. If the realism turned you off of Operation Flashpoint, it'll probably turn you off with Arma 3 as well.

 

[leca]

Yep, it's pretty much a full on military simulator. It's fucking hardcore.

Made by the same guys who made Operation Flashpoint (2001), so yes.

Depends on what Operation Flashpoint you're talking about. The original? Yes, it's like that. Dragon Rising/whatever the other one was? lol.

 

[Mad Max]

Oh dear I bought this through the BIS store but I haven´t received anything yet..

 

[Lord Griegous]

Best thing you can do is search for a nice organized, dedicated community and become a member. They tend to be very friendly and help newcomers. You will get the best ArmA experience this way.

 

[Subterranean]

First time buying a ARMA game on the first day. I am glad DayZ unveiled the awesome game of ARMA to me.
