Hopefully so people who want to play ARMA don't have to deal with people who play games like DayZ, CoD,etc

Going off this thread alone the people who play or are interested in arma are exactly the same as the worst that cod/bf have. Don't think your community is better. Just find the good part of the community and stick with it. Same as any game.

So there you go! This man speaks truth

DayZ has done great things for the ARMA series so don't knock it!

Looking forward to a mission on Arma 3 tonight done by Melbo if he gets it so the AI do not **** us every time

How so?
I bought Arma 2 on launch in 2009 & the only thing that's really stopped me playing it is Arma 3 Alpha, for around thirty quid I think I've had my money's worth, & I can't see Arma 3 being any less value, you just have to wait for the full release! this is Alpha after all.

My main gripe is performance and I don't see them improving it that much for final release. Also I don't like the futuristic setting much, I'd prefer today's weapons than made up stuff.

****s are ****s no matter what they play & COD certainly does have it's fair share of them but at the end of the day playing games/sims it ment to be fun can't we all just get along, oh & won't somebody think of the children!

Not much I can say if you don't like the setting except I'd expect numerous mods in just that vein, as for you're problems with perfomance, I think you are right that they won't be that much of a leap by release but a few months after thing will be smoothed out quite considerably, sorry to refer to Arma 2 again but when that was released it was near unplayable on the tech of the day, stick with it you will get value in the end, you just got to be patient.

I know it's not really comparable, but the fps of Arma 2 was improved by 10-20fps for a lot of people with the subsequent patches after release.

Also, I thought most of these weapons were real? Besides, it's not really the base game you buy Arma for, it's the mods and addons that make it what it is. Think of a base Arma game as a plain piece of bread.

Alpha builds I have worked on have been dismal performance compared to release build. Also the build that was released may be fairly old compared to what they are currently working on.

The blufor stuff all looks great, feel great and is stuff that exists today with tiny little tweeks (turrets on vehicles for example)

Its the spacehats and nanosuit (as mentioned before) by the iranians thats a little strange.

We'll no doubt be grabbing some additional bad guys to shoot who are a bit more realistic. Though the blufor stuff hasnt caused issue with anyone yet. We shall see as they open up other vehicles though.

I see in the modules options, NATO/Iran/Greek Army/Guerillas at least.

I would share your optimism if it were any other developer than Bohemia. Their track record for optimization isn't exactly great.

Actually, considering with what they have to work with and what their old games went from release to patches later, they do better than most.
Though it can take...years.

I'm going to need 16 players tonight to test my mission out!

I'll prob be around later, what kind of time?

Gelly54 · 7 Mar 2013 at 16:12

I think it runs good, 30fps feels really smooth compared to other games

I wonder how many people are reporting performance of singleplayer instead of multiplayer?

I'm really struggling to keep this at 30 frames in MP on high.

I work as a dev and I'm even feeling impatient waiting for optimisation of this! Caught myself looking at new fx cards.

the load on the server will affect fps in MP

Xcept1 · 7 Mar 2013 at 16:26

What time can people test tonight then? Before or after say 2000?
