It’s been rather quiet on theArma 3front, presumably because everyone is too busy working on the game. Bohemia Interactive is calling this the company’s “largest ever project,” promising that much more will be unveiled at E3 and gamescom this year. For now, though, we’ve gota few updates.

Project lead Dan Musil says the studio has “adhered to a strong focus upon backward compatibility,” and to bring this point home, Bohemia is planning an early playable build ofArma 3. This post-E3 Community Alpha will give fans a chance to provide feedback and prepare their mods for the updated engine.
