Arma 3

[Hampus Andersson]

According to this video, yes, and that possibly every chopper has a chute.
Although i tried last night and you can not jump out while piloting, it seems it´s only for the guys in the back.

Here´s the livestream on Arma 3 the full game, (not live anymore)

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

Maybe we the full game is released we can form a little arma 3 group to do co-op missions

 

[Jari Vinnari]

I have Arma 3 and planning to buy BF4 to pass the time while waiting AC to be released in 2014.

Been playing the Stratis life mod a bit now, it´s pretty cool,
But you really need a mic and 1 or 2 other guys with you to make money quickly.

You can be a cop and maintain order or you can be a regular civilian or (the best one) is to become a criminal.
Rob banks, take hostages, negoiate with police, do drug runs in the middle of the night etc.

Steam workshop works now as well, such an easy system to use really, click click and you are done.

Ive been playing co up missions capture base, sidequests etc etc. BF 4 for me is no option because i hate fast gameplay hahaha Arma 3 will be the benchmark for shooters the coming years

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Yea there´s no comparison really. Sim vs arcade.

 

[nijeat]

I don't care sim or arcade in FPS game as just a noob on FPS game but really been enjoying this game since 2~3 weeks ago. I really love the open world, sniping and the slow tempo's tension. Ironically arcade FPS as mentioned takes much more time and talent to get used to fast moving and aiming. And this game seems not always serious but humorous as well!!

But one sad side for me, I bought it normal digital edition for $45 in steam but here in Korea, its deluex 'package' edition including digital maps, soundtrack and ARMA 3 T-shirt is just $44 for pre-order. Crazy!!!

 

[Hampus Andersson]

damn this life mod has made me an addict... I´ve played literally ALL day

Was doing great, had stacked up alot of cash then as we enter the rebel border a car comes from nowhere, 4 guys jump out with their guns pointed at our heads.
Got robbed and executed lol.
Was a good time before that, 4 random dudes trying to make as much money as possible.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

And we finally get a chopper worth 230K after doing drug runs all day and what happens?

Server restart, no items can be kept except your bank account.....the same money i just spent on a F´n chopper...

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

lol lol, i mostly did some co op missions today, mannaged to clear out a airfield with a lot of enemy apc's and light armor, our team had some good rpg lads though gna gna gna

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Gonna try some wasteland later, but the map is just a little bit too small.
Here are some screens from Altis, it´s just ridiculous how big it is compared to Stratis.

 

[nijeat]

Haha Like of consolation..

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

Nice images Hampus

 

[Hampus Andersson]

I still haven´t wrapped my head around just how massive Altis is.
Stratis is quite big but it´s just a dot in comparison.

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

jeeez, thats like 20 times the size?? boy oh boy i hope that the pilots will fly alot otherwise take hiking gear and a 100km 100km map hahhahaha

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Imagine DayZ on that, you probably won´t enter the same city in a month of walking around.

Stratis i believe is 20km squared. Altis is 270km squared.
