Arma can do all of features shown in the video apart from voxel terrains. But then again matrix terrains have other advantages over voxels - like size and quality. Try adding a modified (not randomly generated) 10 sqKm map on that engine, it will crap out and give you middle finger, even UDK and Cryengine hits their limits there. When it comes to Arma, you can multiply that number several times, then several times again if you feel like you are up for a TB challenge.
 
When it comes down to "features", everything can be implemented, the whole A3 game can be revamped starting from main menu to custom DLLs, with some minor hardcoded classnames that cannot be changed, but nothing is stopping you from making your own.
 
Bro, if you think Epoch is limited by something that minor, I can tell you have not a slightest idea how this engine works. It just comes down to time,  resources, experience and probably team size.

I guess you would be better spending time looking for another game/mod to play rather than ranting in a non-contructive way.
 
if the game is not to your liking, simply move on......

What You describe is exactly what a Alpha stands for:
- It does NOT have to be playable at all.
- It will have bugs (Yes seriously!) and lack some core functions.
- There will be bugs that won't be fixed until later on in development. <- THIS!
- Everything is a subject of change (assets, graphics, functionality, UI, interactions, gameplay elements, story, etc.).
- There will be new functionality and assets implemented that eventually cause new bugs or break other, previously working stuff (therefore it makes no sense to fix all current bugs, like You demand, in such an early state of development).

It's the fault of people like You, that have some extremely wrong expectations when playing an Alpha release of a Mod, or an early access game.
If You want something playable, more finished, balanced and (almost) bug free, then take a break from Epoch (and obviously DayZ SA too) and come back when it's in a later state of development.

@Gr8
Sorry I could not resist:

:D

We're (Myself and my co-admin) are creating a brand new terrain :) got the landscape done, just started laying roads, still a long way to go.
Every now and then i have a night off and polish my servers scripts/addons

I own A1, A2 and A3 plus all DLC available, why ? because BIS are a small company that should be supported :)
I mean how many hundreds of hours have we played ? mine is almost 1300 for A3 and over double that for A2, so when you compare money spent to hours played you'll see it awesome value :D
 
I've already updated my loot and scripts with the new weapons, so players can use them the second they get released, other servers can remove them if they choose, that's the thing about ArmA, you can do things your way, name another game the same ?

Well, guys, this is it !
 
Today is the day !
 
I sincerly have a thought for you guys today !! (Axles, Sequisha, Awol, Kiory, OrangeSherbet, and all other that are in the shadow, making this great mod !)
 
I hope you'll win ! You deserve it ! :)

Reading changelogs helps answering questions like this.

Heyas,
 
Been working pretty hard on our server and have relocated all the traders.
Aim was to come up with something that felt more natural.
 
Also added in some POI military areas for players.
 
There's also a specific area called classified which I came up with which spawns dynamic loots on the ground in the area, and is protected by a helicopter and AI paratroopers.
 
Hope you like them!
