As promised, here are the four 1080p videos of Arma 3 Miguel took the time to capture for you guys so you can see how the game looks on a killer rig and how demanding it can be in terms of gameplay. While all modern FPS tend to simplify everything, this third installment in Bohemia's series remains faithful to what it's always been, a real simulation where death punishes those who aren't careful enough. Because Miguel is a newbie (and I am no better), he chose to focus on the showcases of the single player missions, leaving multiplayer aside, at least for now. We are also happy to announce that the guys at Bohemia Interactive have decided to offer 50 more alpha lite keys (25 on each side of the website) to those of you who will leave a comment right after this. The only rule is you have to have been a member on GSY for at least 2 days. Better yet, one of them will actually give you access to the full game (in its alpha state obviously), and we don't even know which one that is. Good luck!

The physics are absolutely terrible for the vehicles (although the controls and models are quite good), and although they finally added ragdoll for characters(much appreciated), they are still very glitchy and not realistic. Seeing a helicopter hit the ground, fly straight up in the air, flip over, and gently float down, only to explode in a crappy canned animation really kills the immersion. This is a game that really begs for a great physics/destruction engine, and I am praying that it isn't too late to implement something.
As for the AI, it doesn't look bad, but the feedback from most of the alpha players is that it is identical to ARMA II. That isn't horrible, but some improvements to match the visuals would've been great.
Overall, I still can't wait. I just hope I can squeeze at least medium settings out on my rig.
