While China has officially not declared its membership, it was believed to be the main driver behind the alliance. This coalition of many, primarily Asian countries, was formed to ensure the military and economic stability within the region. Rising danger of the PMCs and continuous conflicts within Middle-East has were only the tip of an iceberg and as the differences have become more and more obvious, the alliance of the Canton-Protocol Strategic Alliance Treaty (CSAT) has emerged. This so called “diplomatic winter” has led to the information warfare, never seen before and has split the world more than it was during the cold war. The aftermath of the Namalsk crisis has left deep wounds in the relationship of the old superpowers and the influential China. The use of the non-conventional weapons during the conflict on Namalsk only strengthened that idea. I have very much enjoyed the idea of Russian and US sides somewhat ending on one the same side of the conflict, turning themselves against other power blocks in the world (with highly influential China in the lead).

I very much liked the idea of the escalation that happened at the end of Arma 2 Namalsk story and the idea of global superpowers trying to stop the covert operations of an unknown PMC with a lot of mystery to it.

From the beginning of the Dead Air project, I knew I wanted to iterate on the story that I have done in Arma 2 with Namalsk. My work was always focused around the atmosphere and the story. A teaser trailer for the announcement of Dead Air mod from 2015

Arma 3 whole lotta altis
