Arma 3 beta available on June 25th

The following message was posted on the official Arma 3 website some days ago. I advise the members of our clan who didn’t purchase a copy of Arma 3 yet to get one BEFORE June 25th, as the price of the game will increase quite a bit once the beta version is released.

Today Bohemia Interactive confirmed the 25th of June as the official release date for the Arma 3 Beta. Building upon the well-received Arma 3 Alpha, the Arma 3 Beta features a varied selection of brand new content – including 10 vehicles, 7 weapons, 4 showcase missions (Combined Arms, Supports, Commanding & Night), 2 multiplayer scenarios and 4 challenges.

Set against the beautiful backdrop of Stratis (20 km²), the Arma 3 Beta turns its focus towards firepower and logistics. The Challenges game mode will also be making its first appearance, enabling players to practice their weapons handling and movement across a selection of firing drills. Plus, all of the content from the Arma 3 Alpha will be available, alongside the popular scenario editor and modding support.

People who are currently participating in the Arma 3 Alpha will gain access to the Arma 3 Beta through an automatic Steam update. Those who are new to Arma 3 can join in by purchasing the Arma 3 Beta (which includes a version of the full game) from Steam or Store.bistudio.com.

The price of the Arma 3 Beta, in comparison to the Arma 3 Alpha, will be increased. The regular Arma 3 Beta will be available for 34.99 EUR/29.99 GBP/44.99 USD (current price: 24.99 EUR/19.99 GBP/32.99 USD), while the Arma 3 Digital Deluxe Edition will be sold for 44.99 EUR/39.99 GBP/59.99 USD (current price: 39.99 EUR/34.99 GBP/49.99 USD). Please note that the current (heavily discounted) Alpha deal, which includes Beta-access and the full game, will still be available until Tuesday June 25th.

Those who would like to sponsor development further have the option to purchase the Arma 3 Supporter Edition (69.99 EUR/59.99 GBP/91.99 USD) from Store.bistudio.com. The Arma 3 Alpha Lite, a free but limited variant of the Arma 3 Alpha, will be discontinued after June 25th.

Operations

Operation Raven: 31 May 2013 – 19:30 hours (Clan time)

We are happy to announce our first real public Operation, Operation Raven, and hereby invite all our members, visitors and allies to attend this event.

This event is scheduled to take place on our public server (IP: 109.70.149.167:2300) on Friday 31 May 2013 – 19:30 hours (Clan time). Clan members are advised to gather on TeamSpeak 30 minutes before the Operation starts for a pre-Operation briefing.

Since we are relatively new to the concept of Operations this is not the type of Operation that’s commonly seen in the Arma community. We are still learning to create a fully custom Operation, so for now our first Operation is just an edited version of a mission we regularly played and enjoyed. As such the name Operation Raven may not be entirely correct. It however is the thought that counts.

I hope to see most of you there!

Announcing Operation Raven

We are pleased to announce we will soon have an Operation on our public server again – named Operation Raven.

The Operation will have a very large focus on immense warfare and with some luck we will be able to keep the players occupied for at least a couple hours. As such we wish to let all our members and visitors know we would really like to see them attend this Operation and show those who join us what it is like to play with the Celtic Alliance.

More info about this Operation will be revealed soon.
