Arma 3 Officially Announced!

[pascalywood]

What is it with games and fucking Little Birds?

OMFGD3LT4 uses them, thats why

[Squeezee]

Shooting down helicopters with the main gun has always been fun because it was challenging. This will make it a lot easier. Pew pew pew!

I enjoy doing it with howitzers lol. Even harder but so much more rewarding.

ArmA has had little birds since 2007, sir.

LOL. Never done that with the howitzers, but I'll try that next time . The tank in that picture though looks like it shoots lasers judging by the size of the barrel. I'm not too sure yet about all this futuristic stuff.

The futuristic angle has gotten me a little down too, but after three games of evil communists, I guess they were running out of directions? To be honest, at least their future is based on technology being worked on/known about/already in use, so its not like a 1st person starcraft game. The first game was based in the 80's, and we got on fine then, and the community will pump out current content quite happily, for free.

It's a railgun. There are not gonna be any laser guns, I'm sure. As Messiah said, all the 'futuristic stuff' which seems to appear in the game is still based on technologies which are already known about or are in their prototype phases, just like the rail gun:

Any chance of sharing with us?

I'm still highly confused by this game's historical backdrop. How is that Iran has managed to become a super-power on the Middle-East and managed to annex Syria and Israel?

Those graphics are incredible! Can't wait to get my hands on the alpha.

Do you really think a developer/publisher is going to release publicity shots of the game that were made on the average computer found at home?

Well, with all due respect I have the confidence that I can run it at least on medium settings (taking into account the horrible system usage of previous ArmA games :P)
