I didn't bother going with an i7 when I was upgrading a few months ago with ARMA 3 in mind, looks like the i5-3570K will a good enough.

MiskyBoyy

Yeah I'm building with an i5-3570k. I think it's more than enough for any game for the near future!

Supporter edition for me.

Korvanica

Savage ... Will probably go for the Alpha Edition (24.99).

My Phenom was a good cheap choice, built my 4th pc cheap for ARMA 3 and got the Phenom hoping it would run it

jackaroo2012

Can't wait

It's interesting to get the release date (even if it is an alpha) with only a weeks notice.

Sure beats waiting months or years!

MadYaker

Balls. My card will be fine but my i3 might struggle with this

Am I the only one who was expecting him to be shot to death by multiple machine guns at the end ?

dreamers75

In work too, cant seem to get in anywhere to buy it.



Clicking the price buttons does nothing.

Also, Kudos to BI for the fair pricing scheme. The US don't get a game cheaper for once !

Maximilian

No joy here either. Suspect the BI Store is experiencing something akin to a DDOS attack at the moment.

Maximilian

lol:

We are sorry for the inconvenience but STORE.Bistudio.com is closed for maintenance. We will be back soon. For support please email store@bistudio.com

MajesticDonkey

It wasn't available to download until 1PM anyway, but yeah, the whole BI website is a bit fcuked right now.

ktulu123

So.....that was a disaster of a launch! haha! Anyone actually manage to buy the game?

PogMoThoin

Hmmmm, has me itching to build a PC..........Watch this space

Maximilian

Got to the checkout then ... fail. At least the store is actaully working.


Lots of vids to watch between F5 keypresses.

1. They have finally fixed the mouse acceleration thing. Thank ****. finally. Controls seem much better.
2. Holo scopes are finally fixed (very end of the vid).
3. No more deaths from grenade animations!

looks awesome.

dreamers75

Maximilian

The weapons & inventory system is fcuking brilliant

So can someone explain this Arma thing to me?

Genghiz Cohen

It's an online shooter for people who can use more than 3 buttons at a time.

dreamers75

Rule 1:
Never get into a chopper with Max.
Rule 2:
If Ktulu says "freindly" shoot him.

Genghiz Cohen

So my order is Paid/Confirmed but I can't get the download.

What do?

You downloading it?
Did you buy through Steam or Bohemia?

All the links on the Arma3 site direct you to steam it seems. So probably steam :P

Not for real ArmA fans, I bought from the Bohemia Store, Supporters Edition. I have an email with a download link that doesn't work.

Wondering if it's load or an error.

simon360

Bought digi deluxe edition from steam, didn't have enough for supporters so that was the next best I could do.

Hi all,
anybody feel like gifting me the Arma3 Lite invite? I felt burned by both Arma1 and 2 and want to try 3 before I buy. Thanks in advance!

Can you explain why you felt burned by the previous games?

I'm thinking you wont like 3 either if you didn't like the others.

WTF?, Arma 2 was epic. More than made up for Arma 1. It was buggy at first, but they stuck with it to fix it.

HellboundIRL

I'm really liking it so far, gun sounds are decent, vehicle detail is good, movement is nice and physics are a welcome addition.

Also glad they finally fixed that getting into vehicle animation..

Genghiz Cohen

I doubt anyone would have an issue giving you a code, I'll put myself as first in the queue, assuming I actually get mine.

Supporter edition for me.

The all DLC's thing appeals to me, but how many DLC's did ARMA2 have?

Also, I wonder how my quad 9550 would fare with this? I assume it'd be okay?

MiskyBoyy

I just bought Arma 2: Complete Collection for €14.99 today on steam.
I'm currently building my first ever PC. Hopefully have it up & running by next Wednesday/Thursday depending on how fast Amazon ship me the parts.

Just wondering can anyone else spare an Arma 3 Alpha invite? As I'll be too broke to buy Arma 3 myself after all my recent purchases :rolleyes:

Also, enjoy this :cool:
