The only scifi technology was the underwater rifles, which sort of exist. Everything else exists in at least prototype form.

No, no, it goes way back. He's been a mod for years before CWR2 was made. As for future tech, the most advanced is way more cameras on things and apparently a railgun macguffin.

ARG confirmed, click the "About this site" link. Speaking of which, as of this post one of the Gamespy Arma 3 servers has the hostname "@Tom__Larkin http://www.altis-quest.com/", corresponding to both the Web site and a Twitter account. The "Randall" in one of the blog posts corresponds to this Twitter account, and there's this guy. As far as the "Mike-26" references... here.

ArmA 3 Alpha will be released on the 5th of March! It'll be a paid public alpha, starting price is 25 euros for the alpha, beta and the full game, which is releasing Q3 2013 exclusively on Steam. The Alpha is also going to be on Steam https://www.arma3.com To buy: https://www.arma3.com/buy Requirements posted:MINIMUM Release Plan: (Prices will increase per release (alpha, beta, gold), so a person buying ArmA3 at launch will pay the whole 45 euros instead of 25)

Hmmm... shadows still look terrible. I'm curious if they have a good system for weapon collision. I really want them to take the weapon collision system from Infiltration like they did with the freeaim irons. Basically, I'll be happy if they can put infiltration combat (with some changes of course) into the ArmA engine.

For US buyers the current prices are: Basic Alpha: $32.66 Digital Deluxe Alpha: $52.26 (that extra $19.60 over the basic edition is for a digital soundtrack, maps, tactical guide, and ARMA: Cold War Assault* on Steam) Supporter Alpha: $91.46 (that extra $39.20 over the Digital Deluxe edition is for ARMA X: Anniversary Edition** on Steam, any future Arma 3 DLC***, a forums badge, and the first five hundred (500) buyers of this package get their name in the game credits) Basic Beta: $45.72 Digital Deluxe Beta: $65.33 Supporter Beta: $91.46 Arma 3 "stable": $58.79 Arma 3 "stable" Digital Deluxe: $65.33 Fun coincidence (or not?): All of the above price points actually correspond to specific prices plus 8.875% NYC sales tax: The basic alpha is $30, the Digital Deluxe alpha is $48, and the Supporter alpha/beta are $84, while the basic beta is $42, the Digital Deluxe beta/stable are $60, and the basic stable is $54. * Aka Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis. ** Includes CWA (so that's two copies) plus Arma 2, Arma 2: OA, Arma 2: BAF, Arma 2: PMC, and Arma: Gold Edition -- which on Steam is exclusive to this bundle, which is currently $49.99 on Steam. *** Does not include any standalone expansions or sequels.

They are doing a Minecraft style approach where if you buy in early you get everything for a fraction of the final cost, and as the game progresses in development, the price to buy in will go up.

The recommended specs are just south of middle of the road for a gaming PC. So probably not a system eater. Can't really know until people playing can start talking about it though.

So Dslyecxi has a concept here for grenades: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGt8QbK61aE Even mentioned Infiltration . Hopefully BIS takes note. And notes from Infiltration in general as the CQB is excellent with a great weapon collision system.

They seem to be taking it pretty well, also I wonder what they mean by 'modding', are they going to release sample configs with the new changes prior to the release or just let people drop PBO's into the addons folder and sees what happens.

There's not going to be an sdk or a toolset for modders with the alpha but apparently the process to mod the game isn't that far removed from the process to mod Operation Arrowhead, and they're letting modders figure it out as they go. Apparently tools and such to do it are gonna be moreso in the mid to late parts of the beta.
