ArmA has never been a series I've been very much into.  It boasts itself for being a realistic simulator of a soldier at war in a foreign land with large maps, non-linear paths, and extreme difficulty to match up with that realism.  The past ArmA games have had issues with controls, but had the awesome option of customizing a scenario or creating a mod which spawned the DayZ mod on ArmA 2.  ArmA 3 popped up on Steam's front page yesterday and is offering pre-orders with access to the Alpha testing of the game.  Looking at the screen shots and some of the videos, I can tell there is a lot of improvement in graphics.  The landscapes and details are beautiful and really shows just how large these maps in the game are.  ArmA 3 is available for pre-order now for $32.99 or $49.99 for the deluxe version which includes digital versions of the soundtrack, maps to the island, tactical guide, and the original ArmA: Cold War Assault game.  Pre-ordering the core game grants the player access to Alpha testing and beta testing of the game as well as 3-invite passes to send out to friends to participate in the testing.
