ARMA 3 - Another Next-Gen PC experience announced

"After years of intense warfare against Eastern armies, Europe has become the last stand for the battered NATO forces. On the verge of being driven into the sea, NATO command embarks upon a most desperate measure. In the hope of seizing what seems to be a well-guarded military secret, Operation Magnitude is launched. A small group of Special Forces and Researchers are sent to a Mediterranean island deep behind enemy lines. However, the mission is compromised and the task force destroyed, leaving Cpt. Scott Miller washed ashore upon the hostile island. In his effort to carry out the mission, he will face the dangers of modern warfare, an unforgiving environment, and the consequences of his own decisions...

Survive in the rich & authentic environment
Adapt to the unsurpassed experience of modern ground combat
Win the open-ended & story-driven campaign

Combining the strength of its predecessors with radical engine improvements, Arma 3 provides a unique experience of sandbox-oriented combat gameplay in the most detailed environment of the series."

Wow, cant wait, ARMA2 was simply amazing.

There's another thread on this. I dunno which was first, but there are more posts in the other one.

So what? You are gonna let so called pro reviewers tell you how a game is?
Also its been patched abotu 10 times since its review, its much better. Also the expansion pack that came out OPERATIONW ARROWHEAD go tmuch better reviews.

Try games yourseelf and dont let others tell you weither they are good or not.

To me ARMA2 is the best shooter this gen, who cares if its got 77% average... there are tons of CRAP games that have 90% average.

Modern Warfare2 had averages in the 90s yet that game was horrible to me and had tons of bugs/balance issues and hacks in for for months before they fixed it.

Honestly Ive been having more fun with the 70-85% range of games than the 85+ this gen. You want a challenging fps, arm2 is pretty good for that.

I'd be excited more if it's going to be optimized this time around, Regardless, good news.

Holy crap those are some nice graphics. I'll have no choice but to go Crossfire when this comes out.

Why does there always have to be a couple of attention whore numpties who come into every PC related thread and try and bring things down to their own pathetic level of existence?

The same ones every time. Seriously guys, your so ****ing PREDICATBLE.

FGMPR

after 4 years we may have a Crysis killer, graphics wise i mean of course

inb4 BF3, no BF3 doesnt come close to Crysis, brown and bloom to hide the low res textures isnt good graphics

The pic with the tank could have been a real photograph on Time Magazine.

Graphics look cool.

Here's hoping they keep the ARMA sim style of gameplay, but maybe make it a little bit more accessible.

And better animaitons and voices!!!

You mean snorefest.

Sandvichman

only because it's PC only huh? :)

Maybe this time they can make the dialog not sound like it was made with one of these:

OH MY ******* GOD YES!

*wipes away tears of joy*

... and to think Wasdie said this day would never come.

great hopefully they drop support for DX9, that's really what is holding graphics back

This is amazing. Arma 2 is one of my favourite games of all time.

OF ALL TIME.

Wish they simplify the controls a bit thoughSPBoss

im psyched for this though, especially that scuba diving shot... :D

Hopefully the animations are next-gen this time. AAllxxjjnn

Yeah, I really enjoy ARMA2 but MAN do the death animations kill the immersion.

Please... for the LOVE OF GOD... at least have decent voice acting. lol

Good grief. I am very, very surprised, that came out of nowhere. Can't wait, there really isn't anything else like it, still, since 2001. I can't wait.[QUOTE="PcGamingRig"]

I'm ok with the interface. I'm hoping more for some AI improvements. As in better use of cover and concealment.

I've seen many times a friendly or enemy AI going prone when shot at and not going for cover, even partial is better than nothing, and very poor use of concealment, be it dropping a smoke or going for a bush.

Oh, and rendering grass at greater distance even on a low or medium config, even if it is more primitive, to at least have some functionality other than obstructing the view of the one lying in the grass.

This kid never has anything positive to say about PC or any of its games, always only hate.

Well there goes hopes of optimization.

I hope this one has ragdoll physics for dead guys. I love the Arma series so im looking forward to seeing more of this.

BTW: whatever hapened to Arma 2 on 360? ( As if that would have ever worked ) :lol: :lol:

Chewy tender chunks of meat, in GRAVY!

FPS belongs on the PC.

I'm guessing MW3 will be better.IronBass

Yeah MW3 will probably be better than this and Mass Effect 3. Infact the only shooter that would probably be better than MW3 is battlefield 3!

your talking about a game that isnt even remotly similar, Arma is a Sandbox war sim, theres nothing else even remotly like that on the market.
