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

    So can someone explain this Arma thing to me? :)

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

    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.

    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.

    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..

    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.

    sweet :D

    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?

    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:

    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.
