    More importantly, is there a handy-DayZCommander type installer? I could Google it but...

    would their be a point in developing a dayz commander for arma 3 since the impending release of the dayz standalone. as once its released you can be guaranteed every dayz server be it arma 2 or arma 3 will be empty. unless your cheap :P

    While I take your point, and feel mildly stupid for asking, I think you may underestimate the ability of the average gamer to be "cheap". Sure, I have disposable income that I'm very easy to part with after a few cans (as Planetside 2 and Steam can attest to) but a lot aren't. Mind you, they will likely pirate it anyways.

    The Zoombies launcher is the easiest way, it downloads and installs the files and you launch through there.

    I'm not sure that ArmA 2 servers will die out instantly upon the Standalone release.
    From what we are seeing there is still a lot of stuff to be added to the Standalone to bring it up to par with the mod.

    I'd compare it more to the ArmA 2 -> ArmA 3 Alpha release, an initial rush then once people see how bare it is, they trickle back to the Mod.

    When it is released theres going to be no vehicles and a fairly small selection of weapons i think so id say Genghiz is right.

    Altis was released recently on the DEV build of the game. The map is fecking HUGE!! Have played a bit on it, there are not many missions/scenarios out yet to play. We did find this funny one though. Enjoy!

    Made a side mission for Domination, when you play it and it comes up you will know its dedicated to you :pac::pac::pac:

    There will be 500 side missions in it, fair chance you will see it one day :D

    Altis looks real purty. Been playing Domi and Teetimes, its makes a real difference when the messers are booted from the server too.

    Been thinking about making a purchase, but can decide on 2 things. TrackIR or Footpedals/Rudders. Using the PS3 pad for flight which works brilliantly, but want to separate the freelook from the mouse.



    Which will benefit more. Thanks

    Had a argument about this with a friend earlier.

    They want you to pay 25 euro to take part in the Alpha, in which you are doing them a favor and finding all the stuff they messed up, and plus with it being a ARMA game even when it goes full retail its still going to be rediled with bugs.

    Its like you paying me to come fix my fence.

    Its Alpha, which also means they could scrap the game at any moment and you will never see your money again. Its people who are willing to pay for these types of cons, encourage other companys to pull the same bs.


    Er, you've effectively pre-ordered the game with the perk of playing the game at alpha stage. You're not obliged to send in reports.

    You act as though you've paid for a faulty game... WHICH IT ISN'T.

    Having a lot more people to try it out, over just a small test team, would yield a more polished end product with the larger amount of reports of bugs... it is why Open Betas are very popular with regards to games.

    Plus users get to shift the direction of the game more towards what they want. They get to suggest bug fixes and new features to enhance the overall experience.

    Yes, paying for an Alpha is a risk. But for me it was a no brainer to buy the Supporter Edition. I've seen the care and dedication that Bohemia Interactive put into there titles. It would take something absolutely catastrophic for my purchase to not be worth it.

    This way the developers get money earlier than they would have, helping with budgeting and softening the need for an early, less polished Gold release.

    Bohemia are not tied to a publisher, they set their own deadlines and there is no one who can tell them to release before they are ready.
    Bohemia, over the last few years have, IMO, build up nearly as much good will as Valve. I would have no problem buying into any Alpha that either would ever consider releasing.

    To refer to this as a con is outright ludicrous.

    With the new island and Domi now up and running I'll probably have my moneys worth out of the game before the thing is even released. The pound-notes-spent / hours-enjoyed ratio is very much in my favour.

    Like the honourable Mr Cohan I rate Bohemia Interactive as A+ in the trust and goodwill stakes. I've spent maybe £30 or £40 on Arma2 & OA, and in return have had many many hundreds of hours enjoyment. I trust them to deliver again with Arma3.

    If my wallet wasn't so lean at the minute I would have gladly paid double the price for Arma3 and still considered it excellent value.

    I built my own headtracking device out of a wiimote and a few LEDs

    The whole thing came to about €15 and it works beautifully

    The software can be found here along with assembly instructions.

    http://www.free-track.net/english/

    You can use a cheapy webcam if you don't have a wiimote.

    I kid you not, this works flawlessly.

    Jet is basically the L39ZA from A2:OA.... Bit disappointed by that.

    Yeah, I'm fairly disappointed with the array of weapons and vehicles at the moment - thought there would be more by now.
