Anyone else going to pick this up today? I think I will. The whole company seems like really cool people and all the footage I've seen has been pretty great.

I snagged the Digital Deluxe version. Going to give it a go here in a bit.

I bought the basic, I don't need any of that other stuff. I'll just buy the DLCs as they come out.

It's not optimized yet, seems no one is able to get good FPS. They are calling it Alpha state. Many people are already porting in arma 2 mods. I had a blast playing battle guns.

I think my favorite so far is the inventory and modable items as well as the adjustable crouch system.

What Biker said. I have been playing a lot of the mods and various scenarios with other players, so far it is a lot of fun. It is still Alpha and pretty rough, but it's only going to get better. Playing some of the custom Team Versus Team maps I was able to grab marksman and was doing work from a radio tower 800M away until a chopper rolled in with dudes hanging off the skids and destroyed me.

A few things for anyone else that pokes their head in here. This is Arma 3, a war simulator. This is not run and gun. This is more about tactics and playing slow and steady. This game also does not include the purchase of Day Z Standalone, it will be completely another purchase. We are in Alpha stage, then there will be a Beta, and later on this year release. Also when you approach ammo and inventory areas be mindful of players standing around you, as the new default inventory system you use the scroll wheel to pop the menu and hit enter to access. G is grenade, so all of the Day Z vets are getting a bad rap TKing the hell out of people on accident.

Betteh, you need to play wasteland with me. Wasteland is basically dayz without zombies. Its military focused.

It'll be interesting to see where the game goes, there isn't much in it yet. About 8 guns, 3 vehicles, 2 boats, two helicopters. What's cool is, vehicles are module. Sometime a humveee has a 50cal on top, other time it doesn't. There is also a lot of picture in picture in the game. For example, a gunner in the back of a humvee can use the tv to aim, all done with picture in picture.

I keep watching videos, (Mostly Sacriel) for this and it looks really cool. It's too bad everyone I know already has Civ 5 or I'd trade my X-Com copy of it for it, lol. Does anyone have any of the lite demo passes left?
