Bohemia Interactive looks at the year ahead for Arma 3
It's been rather quiet on the Arma 3 front, presumably because everyone is too busy working on the game. Bohemia Interactive is calling this the company's "largest ever project," promising that much more will be unveiled at E3 and gamescom this year. For now, though, we've got a few updates. Project lead Dan Musil says the studio has "adhered to a strong focus upon backward compatibility," and to bring this point home, Bohemia is planning an early playable build of Arma 3. This post-E3 Community Alpha will give fans a chance to provide feedback and prepare their mods for the updated engine. A more open beta will occur sometime later, but specifics haven't been determined yet. So long as you're here, be sure to glance over the latest batch of screenshots. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)@badgerfrys Lastest update for Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead has made huge optimizations to the engine.
Looking very forward to this game and the mods to come. I really miss playing something of the caliber of the original OFP single player campaign. It fucking ruled. ARMA 1 was a bit of a let down on the campaign front (not the same kind of open endedness, and crucially the lack of enemy choppers available to steal was a massive let down) but I heard Arma 2 was a lot better, no way my fucking rig could run that though. might be tempted to come out of retirement for Arma 3 if I can cough up the dough for the super rig I'd have to buy :-/ I'd like to get this game from the get-go and join in on the community that is sure to surround it. If I can save up the money to build me a new desktop, that is. Who needs money for college anyways... :D 8:00 PM on 05.20.2013 Hardware: Shipbreakers' BaserunnerWe're slowly learning more about the enigmatic Hardware: Shipbreakers, the sci-fi RTS from the makers of Homeworld.
