I'm so majorly stoked for this, but I dread the kind of PC I'll need to run it for large-scale multiplayer.

Edit: ^^^ I'm pretty stoked too, and as a member of Shacktac, large multiplayer experiences is all I really do, and we're all hoping Arma 3 doesn't make our computers beg for mercy on big co-ops like it does for a lot of us in Arma 2. :negative:

I've been thinking of applying for ShackTac or playing w/ UO but I know 90% of the mission will take me to 10fps and poo poo.

A bunch of my notes on the state of ARMA 3 as of Gamescom are cribbed from BI forums users InstaGoat:

I've also got more on him on the state of ARMA 3 as of Gamescom if anyone wants me to post that? (Not PMs, but posts that I can link to.)

Great post, I have a question that a man of your knowledge may know.

What's the word on difficulty levels and the built-in range finders on scopes? Is that going to be across all difficulties, or will it be like arma 2 where going to veteran removes the nameplate feature? I'm actually concerned at how trivialized long-range engagements could be with that built-in range finger.

You can't honestly say you enjoy how clunky (ala Metro 2033)

Metro 2033 was clunky? What?

Since you're the only one to have this problem sure let's just change everything for you.

I have it too. I think it's just a server group issue. I've had it for a month now.

ACE won't work with Mumble so please stop complainin' and bein' stupid because ACE3 is going to be the best.

PS: Gooncave goons still play Arma2. Feel free to go use your own Mumble or CTS whenever you want, you have the freedom of choice! Also please stop sperging about spergs, because there is an intense sense of irony about someone getting so concerned about a 10MB or smaller piece of software that requires one-time setup.

We need some goons for Arma3, by the way. Like right now. On Gooncave.

I'm a huge Arma nerd and I love Arma but I haven't really gotten to play Arma3 much or with goons yet; how do you figure out when sessions are starting? Is #armagoons just the place to be for that poo poo?

1. Choose a time of day convenient to both east and west coast
2. Announce that you will be hosting a game at that time several days in advance
3. Pick some good missions ahead of time. Be sure to have some suitable for any size of group.
4. Now you know when a session's starting!

My combination of hardware + internet don't allow me to host playable games, or I would. Oh well.

After today I'm off work for 3 days and want to play arma. What's the easiest way to hook up with other goons?

I will play Arma 3.

E: Where is the Gooncave mumble info? I had it once, but no longer.

I still haven't tried Zeus but I'm too slow and uncreative to be a god for anyone.
