Bohemia certainly know how to make a penny or two, making people pay for alpha testing, and when I bought Arma 2 OA it was £9, now after dayz and the hacking its £13.50 a key!

But all the same, looks great and if someone's got a spare key it I would appreciate it. tank

ETA: Ignore my comment about charging people for Alpha, you get the game included in that price when it is released!

Oooooo... I think I may just be happy to part with 20 quid to get that even in Alpha stage if it gets me the full game for that eventually.

Screenshots look rather good! If you go for it, hopefully it works as well with the TrackIR... post up and say if you do, and I might go for one as well. I will be moving to Bristol in the next few months as I said on the DayZ thread, but will be able to take the computer and get a net connection eventually smile

Been watching quite a lot of the videos on YT with the guys who play Arma2 realistically and really liked the idea of joining in something like that.... but hopefully everyone who played DayZ will get together again at some point, whether for that or Arma3.

I'm up for a 'reunion' at some point. I'm also quite heavily involved over at survival operations right now, would love to see some of you guys over there again. I still play Hard Corps but we also do alot of the milsim side of things. give me a shout if you want to check it out. I still see slaney on most days and he joined in on some of our community events too.

Cool, sounds good! I think it would be good to join in with that, although I need to buy a new CD key to play online, unless it's all private servers without BattleEye installed lol.

I don't know how much time I have left before moving though, will have more of an idea after Friday, so if it's a few months I then I could start playing for a while. Wouldn't want to get involved and then just disappear.

Sounds pretty good to be honest, you get the alpha, beta and the full game for €24.99 whereas the full game would cost €44.99. Bargain!

Bargain! I'm in!

This and DayZ SA will keep occupied pretty much forever.

Wish I hadn't clicked on that link, having been an Xbox & COD boy for years, my 1st dabble on PC gaming has been ETS2 which has me hooked. This looks like it could do the same as a FPS.

Loved opflash (the proper one) and arma2. Massively looking forward to this, there is nothing like it.

Quick silly question, is this likely to let me use my wired MS/Xbox controller or will it all be keyboard?

Use the controller for helis and aircraft. You really need keyboard/mouse for everything else.
