Chortles posted:Some other folks also dug up an In-Editor Config Viewer (Selected entry is "Tavor_base_F"). Those trees look strange... I'm glad they've removed grenades from the fire mode select. One of the many reasons why I stopped using grenades in ArmA games (other than them being extremely glitchy as hell).

Still just the 5th as far as I know. But you could entertain yourself with Dslyecxi's videos tomorrow until it shows up in the store.

If the Supporter edition goes on sale at 1 pm Eastern on Tuesday...  Mederlock posted:The MX should still be 6.5mm 'caseless', those pictures from the ARG just have a lot of JPEG compression artifacts and looks lovely and blurry at that low resolution. If you zoom in really close you can tell it's 6.5, not 8.5. Rumor has it by the way that BI gets more of a cut if you buy the game through their own online store instead of through the Steam storefront.

I know its not COD or anything but ARMA has been on the top sellers list for the last few months. It did get quite a few new players from DayZ and its a steam exclusive. I dont know why, i just kind of hope it does.

Not that it matters though, Steam won't get overloaded either way.

I'm interested on how they're going to do the distribution of the alpha. Will we buy it through the bistudio.com/store website and then get a key for the alpha, or will it be that as well as buying directly through steam. E: edit for clarity

I'm under the impression it's just buying from BIS and then getting a key. Kind of like NS2 when it was in beta. I don't think Steam likes selling alphas, especially with the whole War Z debacle.

Except BIS is clearly informing people that this is an Alpha and that things will change, while War Z kept claiming things it couldn't deliver and was in a worse shape than they said it was.

Lots of games do this on Steam, so I dont think Steam has a problem with that at all. The thing with War Z is a completely different animal. The war z developers staight up lied about their product and what their customers were paying for. Then went on to insult their users further by apologizing that their users misread their misleading advertising.

I'm soooo happy they fixed the parallax sights on red dot sights! Literally the first thing I saw  . And grenades seem a lot better even if they are placeholders. Movement looks a lot better and more reasonable. Getting much closer to Infiltration CQB .

I kind of want to see footage of infantry shooting down a chopper first, if only because I never found hitting a one with a rocket to be remotely satisfying in Arma 1 or 2.

This looks like a HUGE step forward making the game more stream line and less "simulator". It looks like CQB will actually be fun and not a craps shoot. I really cant wait till tomorrow.

It just so happens that being more realistic also made sense from a gameplay perspective.

That's why you shoot them down via copious amounts of MG fire into the cockpit and rotors until you can watch them spiral down from the sky instead.  .

I always used a 50 cal sniper and one shot to the tail rotor. Works for friend or foe. Nothing better then hearing a full black hawk go out of control over mic and hearing the whole crew rage. ARMA is a really fun game to grief in. ToastyPotato posted:Honestly all that movement stuff seems way more realistic than anything they had in the previous games. It just so happens that being more realistic also made sense from a gameplay perspective. I wasn't saying it in a negative way. I want the game to be more fluid like like BF3 and COD but realistic.

From Dslyecxi's intro to ArmA 3 infantry controls:Dslyecxi's guide posted:The default Arma 3 Alpha keybinds map the ‘G’ key, formerly used for accessing your inventory, to ‘throw grenade’. This is extremely dangerous for players who are coming over from an Arma2 background – I strongly recommend rebinding this to a different key, or using 2xG as the key instead. Note that gear is now on ‘I’, for Inventory. So many goons are gonna die because of this.
