    How dense are the towns?

    When I google images Limnos, I can see that the towns/cities are actually quite densely packed with buildings, marinas, a castle etc. The buildings are tall enough and packed enough to make real alleyways and such. Will it be the same for ARMA 3?

    I know in ARMA 2, you don't get a feel for CQB because the houses and towns are very sparse and many are not enterable. I'm hoping in ARMA 3, you will get the overall feel of the battlefield being sparse in some areas and very urban in others.

    It looks very good, the buildings look great. Large and full of rooms to perspective. The streets have their mini-alleyways, different types of walls, exterior objects. New terrain features seen too, such as the dried up concrete river bed running through one of the towns. You crossed a bridge in the vehicle video interview, possibly an aqueduct. That looked interesting because if I remember correctly it had stairs either side, I could imagine intense urban combat there. Hold the bridge type missions.

    To say they have 50+ villages, you won't be disappointed.

    There are huge towns on Limnos, start watching video at 0:50 -



    Here is some advice - don't dare to venture into those towns in MP, I will be waiting in there with claymores, and I will perforate you!

    I can guarantee you: that no matter the size of the urban areas, every single building will be boobytrapped with tripwire IEDs, so this man is right.

    I can imagine Warfare in those towns. I'm gonna spend a lot of time putting tripwires around haha.

    It'll be our splendid urban playground.

    idk, in PR i never see booby traps, then again, not many people take the engineer class :/

    In PR:BF2 I would set booby traps often...but being the retard I am I fell victim to them after forgetting where they were. Stupid grenade in a coffee can.

    It would be cool if Bohemia could record and upload some video of what it looks like in those big Limnos towns at ground level. I have not seen even one itty bitty complaint on the forums about the Arma3 houses, everyone appears to be very happy with how superb they look. I think all the buildings look absolutely gorgeous and can't wait to get into some urban battles.
