The game takes place on two islands, the main being Altis1, the second Stratis2. The islands are strongly inspired by two Greek islands called Lemnos1 and Agios 2Efstràtios, although their areas are slightly smaller than the original islands: 400km2 announced for Altis (instead of 478 km2, 85% of th...

The user interface is terrible. Seriously, seriously terrible. One of two things occurred in the development of Arma III, either the UI developer was a rogue, creative individual experimenting with a bold, minimalistic new interface, or they had never played a video game before and decided to fly bl...

Its hard to think of Arma III as anything more than a tech demo. It feels skeletal, like the wood frame of a house under construction. You see where its going, but you wouldnt want to live there yet. If youre ever played a game while in its early beta stages, thats what Arma III will feel like, exce...

While it smoulders rather than sparks, Survive concludes strongly and the momentum is carried over into Adapt, definitely the best of the three chapters. This introduces Altis, a masterwork of environmental design. I could write another 1000 words on its remarkable sights and sounds: its misty dawns...

Its the dead of night on the CSAT-occupied island of Stratis, and the peaceful darkness is about to explode into chaos. Im leading one of two spec-ops teams on a mission to liberate the leader of a local guerrilla faction and return him to the much larger island of Altis. A British squad is in charg...

The two new heavy lifters are much more interesting. Blufor’s new CH-67 Huron is a pretty standard take on the dual-rotor Chinook, but the cockpit interior is gorgeous and it can carry two full weapons squads and a fully loaded jeep anywhere on the map. Opfor’s new Mi-290 Taru is my favorite additio...

The other new mechanic is “slingloading”—suspending heavy loads beneath a chopper—which has actually been available as a community-made mod for some time now. The official version is much smoother, though, with nicely animated rigging ropes and fluid-body physics allowing crates to swing up and out...

Pitching yaw Now the training wheels have come off, and the helicopter is a multi-ton hunk of metal desperate to convince itself it’s a bird. The advanced flight model physics are no longer interested in friendly compromise. A mouse and keyboard control scheme is ineffective at dealing with the minu...

On the following pages were going to have a close look at how ArmA 3 performs in combination with different graphics cards. For that purpose were testing the three different resolutios 1080p, 1440p as well as 2160p at ultra settings. The goal of this article is to tell you which is the most suitable...

ARMA III. Rated 9/10 on steam, and with an all time high of 53,000 players playing at once, it is very, very popular. The scale of the maps, the diversity of gameplay, vehicles, and weapons, and the endless military possibilities in ARMA 3 are what make it so successful. It has the biggest map in al...
