the Dirty Dozen - 12 Community questions fired @ BIS

[PurePassion]

1. Will there be regenerating health? If so, I won't even look at this game.

Yes there will be

...

Why even take the time to ask questions and bluntly state that you've lost any hope in the project before it even got a chance to really show itself? Yeah its getting dumbed down..disregard the physics, take on helicopters flight model which is at LEAST three times more tricky than Arma 2's default.

Disregard the addition of underwater environments and combat, disregard not only TKOH's clouds being added but STILL improved upon, disregard the new island pushing terrain even FURTHER along with view distance, disregard the addition of render to texture which will enhance vehicles greatly (and I'm sure the community will jump on scopes for this if they aren't included).
Disregard any work being put in to include new sounds, new shading system, new animations, reworked animation system..actually why don't you just say it's exactly the same game with less units repackaged and being sold?

The low unit count might not be a bad thing as it could give them more time to focus on fleshing them out better, meaning better physics, weapon systems even and who knows, we may get lucky enough to see a tank interior but lets not get our hopes too high.

...

That was the best 'hot line' video I've seen..what? Not hot line?...says you. At any rate I'm surprised to see the devs backing this up so much...hmmm...so many questions...

[Undeceived]

Great video!

Is the air-ing of the questions going to be before or after E3 ?

Is the air-ing of the questions going to be before or after E3 ?

Good question! let me discuss this with the BIS lead. i'll get back at this.

I would say after is better, also because we will have more time to prepare the answers.

Best regards,
Ivan

So the show wil be aired AFTER e3

And how Arma 3 will have less units, weapons and all that.. Ouch.

Really? Where are you getting this info from? It's my understanding that ArmA3 has more than half the vehicles that OFP had so far with the game still 6 months or more away from release. Not to mention vehicles will have 'Modular Turrets' which will -for example- essentially make one model of IFV capable of being an IFV (M2), IFV (GL/Mk19), IFV (TOW) etc.. In terms of weapons/gear confirmed so far, ArmA3 already outnumbers what was available in OFP in total including combat vests, helmets etc. which are also all modular making one unit into basically as many as you can customize a different combination of kit for. This should be blatantly clear just by reading the "Confirmed Features" sticky...

How exactly are you improving Close Quarters Battle?

Ask a question so general, expect multiple answers. $$$ profit.

Good tactic, I think someone should ask "So (BIS Dev) can you tell us what are all the things?"
