    purchase of supporter's edition failed somehow. Deluxe version via Steam it is.

    I see on BI's twitter feed that they are going to make some facility available for people who couldn't get the supporter's edition. Some kinda upgrade I guess.

    And yes. KD + tanks = fail

    How do you get the invite? Is it based on previous keys?

    You get 3 invites when you buy the game, the invites aren't active until next week.

    DLC's that you get free with supporters edition do not include standalone dlcs (operation Arrowhead for ArmA 2), So more like the BAF and PMC dlcs.

    I feel Arma III will be a revelation in FPS gaming tbh. A lot of great innovation in the alpha.

    EDIT: Video was already posted.

    Slighty preturbed by the Control + Walk to change stances up or down - would rather press a single key to change up/down a stance, as i do alot when crouched behind a low wall, to go from semi crouched to crouch to lob a shot over.

    Anyway issue logged, Upvote if you want to see it changed too.

    Mouse wheel would be perfect so this could be combined with that.

    That's quite a useful feature if your having trouble knowing your stance.
    I have issue with having to stop pressing W to then change stance to semi crouch, then start walking with W again. Its not fluid enough.

    Raven shield had it nailed with the middle mouse button.

    The above helps you get to the stance you want quicker.

    What servers are you guys playing on? I found a few good American wasteland servers. i can play on high and its really smooth, must be a lot better optimised than arma 2.

    I actually love the default stance buttons.
    I was thinking of Crtl+Mousewheel for zoom without holding breath. ArmA 3's out of breath aim movement is much more noticeable IMO.

    Also got my first kill with the prone lean the other day. Happy out!

    The change would be in addition to any controls that are already there, who doesnt like more choice ..

    I have a couple Arma 3 lites if anyone is inneed, they must have been added recently. pm or steam id platinums

    Quite a lot. Wasteland, Domination, Evo, Warfare - all ported. Lots of co-op missions, TvT missions like Blitzkrieg. Arma 2 stuff (maps included) seems fairly easy to port over, so expect even more over time.

    Especially when it's only €24.99, the price will rise closer to the full game release!

    Hmm just installed the alpha and no servers showing up.
    The top right of the browser screen only shows address LAN, no reference to internet.
    Any ideas? firewall maybe?

    Click "Address" on the top right. until it changes to not "LAN".


    It would be rude not to insult you for this rather Blonde Faux Paus, so with that in mind, lets hope you're Handsome.

    Playing the Alpha from the start had been great. On the development branch, every time I play there's an improvement or something new.

    Beta out about 2 weeks after E3. Some really cool content like large choppers, gunships and more apcs and trucks.

    Then when the full game is out we get tanks, jets and the massive island, altis. They showed some of altis in the live stream yesterday. Looks amazing.
