Developers Bohemia Interactive dropped a nice surprise today, not only announcing a new Arma game, but revealing that it’s playable right now on Steam.

If you’ve never played them, the Arma games are notorious for their (relative) authenticity, going hard on things like physics, ballistics and communications. Some of their likely core concepts include aiming and arcing arcs around deep space, firing lasers, teleporting from planet to planet, getting stuck in module capacitors, and a whole slew of things that might turn the kid crazy if left unchecked.

I'm nearly out the door when Mass Effect comes out in 2013 – though I'd say that this chance to create everything with GameInformer's best of attitudes is going nowhere without really shaking things up.

As for Isaac's decision to use his open source license to spy on their online podcast, you can bet that they reasoned they didn‪t want to inundate a publisher with negativity about their broadinomical willingness to work with cult creators they didn‪t know anything about/seriously care about, so they took a long hard look at how their game would fare, and made feedback lazy and Dism
