EXE rev. 07682
Size: ~437 MB
-nologs command-line parameter added to disable the generation of RPT logs. Note: do this only when you want to measure performance drops caused by potential logspam. Using this always will remove a lot of useful debugging information.
Note: You may see some of the faction names have started to change from their generic color names. Nothing to worry about. We'll introduce them properly when we're ready for it

PCGames.de visited the Bohemia Interactive Studios and sat down with Karel Morický to talk about different aspects of the game and what we can expect to get once the Arma 3 game is released. In the article they are talking about:
Release this fall
Campaign is not included with the official release and will be released for free later for everyone owning the game
It will come with different multiplayer and singleplayer missions which will give you a good look of all content in the game
Functional cockpit (in the Strider) and functional elements
Talking about Stratis and how much it looks like in real life
Talking about the underwater aspect of the game, the further you go from land the less details are build in under water
The weapon balancing, ballistics and the AI are at the moment the most important aspects of development
Trying to find a balance between realism and gaming
Talking a bit about the realistic artillery (placed on the map physically)
Sniper mission and talking about the modular weapons
The second part will be about the factions, Armor, Gunships, drones, sandbox and the Alliance-System!

Joris-Jan van ‘t Land, Project Lead on Arma 3, said:
“This was not a decision we made lightly. As game creators, we love developing and playing through campaigns so, to those awaiting ours, we say: sorry for the delay. After talking a lot about a focus on quality over the last year, it simply did not feel right to compromise now. Rather than pushing back the entire game, we launch this year with an awesome package – a splendid kick off for the Arma 3 experience.”
Mostly what Ixigia posted above but with one additional image showcasing a drone and a new type of airplane.
They're actually both drones, the one in the back looks similar to a MQ-9
Similar is all you'll get with them. Just like all the helicopters in Take On Helicopters were similar to real aircraft but with just enough differences that they didn't need to license them. (which is probably good since the game was ass)
That drone is similar to the Reaper as you mentioned. Their model is just different enough to not cause issues.
I've already logged 70hrs in Alpha/Beta SP, I'd be totally happy with the campaign now or later, I just don't get how people see it as an MP only title
The game is just such a huge sandbox experience that you can play it anyway you want.
I know guys that only want to play with the editor, some with multiplayer and others only SP.
That's why I find ArmA series as something very unique in video gaming. In spite of all the bugs and issues, it is an amazing game with an amazing community surrounding it.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
