Operation E3

Are there any details about the new maps? I've learned from Mcnools Aliabad that a map can really make or break a game, and I really hope that the ACR maps aren't just another map, but rather something that will be an improvement from what we've had so far - not that Cherno taki etc. aren't great just a new map can breath new life into the game.

Oops - Sorry for the offtopic, just realized this isn't exactly the appropriate thread to start such discussion.

This was a great interview. Very good read. Very nice that Andrew pointed the BI Staff to the ACRE Mod. Something like this included into ArmA3 (maybe as "advanced radio system" placeable by a module in the editor) would be absolutely breathtaking.
BIS should hire Noubernou and Jaynus for that :-)

On the Chernarus 2.0 matter:
I'm all for it. Chernarus 2.0, larger, different vegetation (Summer Setting) and a seaworld to explore all in the new Engine. Would be amazing!
As expansion or DLC, or whatever.

And enterable buildings.

I just hope they are not tiny like Shapur and Proving Grounds.

E3 Showcase video's are being uploaded!!!

My God those night scenes are fucking incredible, almost too good to be true how perfect it looks!

It's good to know they are keeping dark nights. Would've been great to see a large night firefight though.

I like it! It's just enough light for you to see the tree and rocks in front of you, but not enough to see any of units a bit further away. Unless of course this is light coming from a light source other then the night sky. But I doubt that, as the light intensity was constant regardless of where he went.

I would like to see the sea a bit murkier/foggy. It's a little bit too transparent. But I can understand it might be a artistic decision so that combat under water is easier and, of course, the visual aspect.

It'll be a case of tweaking and playing with where the occlusion begins - perhaps making it extend a little further, but starting a little closer to the player - alongside other things like the PP colour effects.

Gameplay will also need to be factored into this, hopefully resulting in some nice compromise between practical use and visual authenticity!

Best,

Naturally. Thank you, RiE.
