Just purchased. Can anyone report in on CrossFire performance? Is CrossFire useless like in ARMA2?
I have a crossfire setup in my computer. I've played Arma 2 (DayZ and Wasteland), and i did have upgrade my system last week. Only had to purchased a new CPU, Motherboard, and memory.
My system:
- Intel Core i7 3770k (still with stock cooler, will replace it later)
- Asus Maximus V Gene Motherboard
- Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600 Mhz memory (will upgrade later this month to 16GB)
- 2x AMD Radeon HD 6870 in Crossfire (total Vram is 2GB GDDR5)
I will test my performance in a hour when i'm from work. Already purchased Arma 3 and installed in on my machine. I had a bit better performance with crossfire in Arma 2. Hope Arma 3 has better Crossfire/SLI support!

The Scuba mission was really cool, surprisingly large playbook of tools and an elegant stealth mission.
For some reason though, when I first took the RPG off the guys by the APC, it was unable to lock onto the Helicopter. Later when I went to the camp's ammo box and picked up AA Rockets, it could.
I wonder if this was intentionally, as it was really counter-intuitive to the mission's flow.

Wow. Looks like they completely redid or fixed their LOD scaling. Very little popin of new LOD models in that vid.

Are there real/unique gun reload anims? Super minor point, I know, but I'm very curious for some reason.

BI store is still down with database errors. Got it from Steam.
Well, in third person you can now see him grab the magazine, pull it out, put a new one back in and reload. It does disappear at the point where he grabs a new one but there's now a real reload animation.

It's the closest thing we'll get to Rainbow Six 3's fluid stance system.
In other news, cars actually feel like they're planted on the ground. Goodbye to moon driving!
It makes a huge difference.

An Arma 3 Alpha gift license would be appreciated
No funds until next week
I just checked my Steam inventory and I don't have any. It's possible that it was only for people who buy directly from Bohemia.
You where very kind to check, thank you.
I sure hope DayZ standalone is using this.

Nope, they are using a heavily modified Take on Helicopters engine for the standalone.

You'd be surprised at how many games use Gamespy. http://www.poweredbygamespy.com/why/

Looks awesome, not sure why the texture quality is so low though.
The lighting is amazingly natural looking and I love how there are no piss filters or other crap to fuck with visibility/functionality of the game.

I don't give a damn about other games. Arma 3 is steampowered, I don't really see reason to use anachronistic gamespy.

Shut up, bro, I got two more weeks working out of town
Would love to get together with Arma 3 GAF at some point.
I'm with you! I was just saying, you'd be surprised!

I bought the Supporter Edition but I haven't gotten a STEAM key yet. If you browse their forums (when they actually load) it appears this is happening to a lot of people.
FUCK!

Once you understand the stance adjust, I promise you ... You will rock a stiffie.
Ha, I knew something like that would happen. Glad I skipped it.

Between that and a lot of little but much-desired changes (ragdolls, weapon anims, voices, etc.), I'm already there. Glad they took the time to touch up the infantry experience.
The weapon models also look spectacular compared to vanilla Arma 2 (they got better with expansions). HNNNNGH

I wish I could swap weapons while moving. Sigh. I need to start writing down things I want to get implemented before release.

Is there any way to adjust the FOV in-game? Arma 2 KINDA let you do it with the "-" key.
Anton, you were the one asking about reload animation earlier, right?
