Survive, Adapt, Win

A small group of Special Forces and Researchers are sent to a Mediterranean island deep behind enemy lines. However, the mission is compromised and the task force destroyed, leaving Cpt.

Been following the release since all the mystery about this was ran as a "hack" to the Bi site. Bi love their games and their communities involvement in development:D .

I remember reading somewhere that the island, based on the Greek Island of Lemnos is 900 square Km. At the moment in ArmA 2 we play over 44 square Km. This massive map size will I hope, involve some great air battles as well as vehicular battles on the ground.

Bi is already testing out samples of net code with the Beta patch for Arma2. Improved sync on players and ai (stopping the teleporting targets experienced in MP and SP).

I am not completely won over by the prospect of "futuristic" battles in the 3rd version of the title, based in 2025, however time will tell, and as im sure you all know the modding community is huge for this game and once they get hold of it, well Im sure it will turn into a winner just like the rest.

See you all on the Battlefields of Greece.
