As planned and previously announced on our 2014 road-map letter, we are now setting foot officially into the world of ARMA 3, the award-winning modern shooter from Bohemia Interactive.
With Over 1 million copies sold worldwide, Arma 3 is set in a massive military sandbox and brings players to the Mediterranean islands of Altis (270 km²) and Stratis (20 km²) where you are deployed in open singleplayer combat – or sent into co-operative and competitive multiplayer battle online. The in-game editor lets you create your own scenarios, and share it with your friends via the Steam Workshop. The modding community, of course, is also very active – developing custom weapons, vehicles, outfits, missions, game modes, and much more. There is also the massive €500,000 Arma 3 content creation contest where fans from around the globe deliver their best work, taking ARMA 3 to the next level.
PvP-wise, ARMA 3 comes with no capped player limit, allowing for massive player vs player operations across the vast expanse of The Republic of Altis and Stratis. In the new Seize and Defend game modes, players can choose to compete against each other in a race to the finish. There are some impressive features available for ARMA 3 servers such as the Headless Client. It is actually a dedicated client machine whose the sole purpose is to reduce significantly the strain off the server for maximum stability and performance.
In ARMA 3 ZEUS , you can also assume the role of game master and influence the online battle in real-time. Wielding an intuitive real-time editor, you can invent new stories, challenges and locations on the fly! The result is always unique, always dynamic combat – for both Zeus and, especially, those with boots on the ground.
At SA journal, we are proud to have ARMA 3 standing side by side with DCS as two of the very best military simulators in today’s market. We are confident ARMA 3 will be a key addition that will contribute greatly to providing our community with the best PvP online action and virtual modern warfare careers.
