Arma 3 Officially Announced!

You know looking at the gear of some of the soldiers in the screenshots, it looks like it's actually being worn rather than the vests and carriers looking like their fused with the person. I wonder if this has something to do with the character and weapon loadout feature announced.

....that or BIS' modelling team put some much welcome extra effort and detail into them.

It might be the " choose your uniform feature " . If it allows you to chose more then your camo color or some pre defined kit , I would be happy and impressed at the same time .

And finally someone could join a server, choose a "regular" troop slot, sign in to be a pilot and have a new pilot suit instead of "locked" slots.

Or that was viable in A2 already?

Not so much in that way. Depended on the mission and the mission maker's intentions.

On the top right image in the screenshot gallery (the "Powerful artificial intelligence" image) there are a few pieces of rubbish- looks to be paper and possibly a spent casing- and they have shadows....

Nothing special to note, other than all the little things BIS puts in the world for immersion will be that much more in A3. *Sigh* gonna have a sore ass from sitting on the edge of my seat for a year... again.

I don't care if I spend 1000$ on an i7 processor.

Bohemia Interactive Studios... Please, take my money.

[Steakslim]

if you spend that much on an i7, someone's ripped you off.

well you should wait what 2012 brings us and buy hardware when you have the game.

A year in the PC hardware section is worth a decade in most others.

A dream come true.
Hopefully it will be in 64bit and using more than 2 cores.
Looking forward to it.
And good luck and lots of inspiration for the upcoming year.
Cheers.

Arma 2 uses all 4 cores of my cpu

Those soldier models look great, and yes they dont look like they have all their uniforms/gears pasted onto them.

i just found out a thing: look at this Picture and the possible 70-mm Hydras.
You can see some of them were already shot and some of them are still in the rocket pod.

So this could already mean an small enhancement of this direction
