From next week onward, Tuesday March 5th, all are welcome to try out the authentic military gameplay and assist in the game’s development by participating in the Arma 3 Alpha.

 

...

 

Featured in the Arma 3 Alpha are four showcase missions (Infantry, Vehicles, SCUBA and Helicopter), a limited subset of weapons and vehicles, two multiplayer scenarios, the powerful scenario editor and modding support. The 20 km² island of Stratis, which is positioned right off the coast from Arma 3’s main destination ‘Altis’ (270 km²), will form the backdrop of the Arma 3 Alpha.

 

...

 

To participate in the Alpha, people can purchase the Arma 3 Alpha (24.99 EUR/19.99 GBP/32.99 USD) or Arma 3 Digital Deluxe Edition (39.99 EUR/34.99 GBP/49.99 USD) on Steam.

 

TL;DR - On Tuesday, March 5th, you can preorder Arma 3. :yay:

 

Anyone else interested in this? I'll be getting the Digital Deluxe version on Steam. :nods:

Unless I'm too amazed by the new helicopter physics, see you on there too! :D

[iLLGT3]

I should pop in your TeamSpeak sometime and play with you. I'm kinda looking for a squad to play with..

I watched some preview clips and gotta say that this game looks incredible, would buy it instantly if my PC could handle it :(

[ScoobSTi]

My PC is in the middle of the spec range, kinda near the recommended, but I'll still be getting it. :nods:

 

Just a few hours away for Europe! :panic:

Really interested in this! Love ARMA 2 although i was rubbish at it :P

 

Am i right in saying if i get the Alpha one i still get the full game on release? As i have a feeling its gonna cost more when its released so might just get it if that is the case.

[GTAMADDOG]

I think you're right, well that's what I heard on a video I was watching yesterday. It's only going to get more expensive as it progresses towards Beta and then final release essentially. At the moment I think it equates to about £20.

 

I didn't really get into ARMA 2 as a single-player game really, I've had quite a lot of fun on Wastelands and DayZ over the last few weeks though. It's weird how I couldn't get into singe-player though, because I used to play Operation Flashpoint a lot and I never went on multiplayer once. I think my patience of being able to follow all of the objectives properly and on time has dwindled since those days :p

[T3hReaper91]

I really only lived in the editor on Arma2 really :) didnt really do the campaign done multiplayer a few times though

[iLLGT3]

Yeah so uh.. VERY SMOOTH GAMEPLAY. It's bloody awesome!

 

 

[GTAMADDOG]

Must. Resist. Buying.

 

Already spent too much today on Mother's Day/Car Parts :p

[ScoobSTi]

It's installing now. :) Can't wait! :yay:

[T3hReaper91]

Seeing those pictures make me just want to buy it more! Getting on it now! :D

Gavin's video at the top can be relevant to my post..

 

We at AhoyWorld got our mission Invade & Annex sort of featured in Dslyecxi's latest "Community Guide" video. Big stuff!
