As far as I can see it's $10 more for nothing of real value. You're not missing out on ArmA Cold War Assault because I think it's 10 years old now and was originally OFP (Operation Flashpoint); please correct me if I'm wrong.

You're not wrong Duke :)
I can't wait to get my hands on this and the videos didn't make the waiting any easier!
I'm not sure at what time it will be available on Steam but if it is in time for our Arma2 event tonight, and everyone joining has it, this may be an Arma3 event instead :dance2:

Unless you want to buy the supporter edition, just buy it on Steam directly, works fine there (I just did)

If it doesn't come up in the search just go to the News section.

I want the Supporter Edition as well so I'm stuck with store.bistudio.com.

Finally managed to complete my order after 30 minutes of timing out.

...downloading now.

I took the day off just for this reason. Actually, between this and Tomb Raider I've got my hands full the entire day long.

...no idea when I'm going to sleep though and I'm tired as sh1t atm.

OMFG, the game is barely, and I mean JUST BARELY, recognizable so far as ArmA.

They have really done away with clunky animations, cut 'n paste comms, awkward stances and even the sounds have been amped.

The interface is slick and the rendering in this game is the best I've seen yet. Not only that but it must be optimized a lot at this point because the game defaults to very high settings and still runs like butter.

I'm barely into the game at all and already it's blown my mind.

Great job so far BIS!!!

I can't, all my bandwidth is being taken up by a YouTube upload with 2 hours left to go :icon_redface:

So, worth buying?
Worth buying 10 copies and having 9 of them gold plated and proudly displayed in every room of the house.

It really is leaps and bounds beyond anything they've ever done before. It runs smooth, looks and plays fantastic and is just brimming with awesome!!!

Worth every penny and then some IMHO.
