    i watched some developers video. and they had demo of it and they said themselfs that they will make it more as a game then sim to get more attention from casual gamers.

    i know a few of my friends arma for being a pure sim and they do custom missions with that editor. i dont think they will like casual thing though...

    Perhaps but I understand that what they meant was that there will be more effort put into the single player experience which was a bit rubbish in previous games. Hopefully though, they will make the game a bit more user friendly overall. Arma 1/2 both really ended up being a sandbox for multiplayer missions and all the myriad mods. Nobody really bothered with SP, which wasn't very good or accessible anyway. Guess that put a lot of people off.

    It put me off,I just wanted a good single player campaign but hearing you can make custom missions in the map editor interests,didn't know you could do that.

    I think they're just planning on making it easier to operate the commands, from what I saw it's just going to be prettier with rag doll. Everything else will more or less be the same. It also sounds like their cutting down on the range of weapons and vehicles to make things a bit more straight forward.

    The number and quality of mods, missions & maps available for Arma 1/2 are staggering. The editor is quite good I'm told - never bothered to give it a go.

    I've had a go at it, it's pretty straight forward to set things up but I never got into the triggers to make a real mission. Did try to make a bank heist gone wrong type mission going through one of the towns.

    In some of the original hype people where saying it would get released on PC at the same time, maybe hopeful thinking but it shows that there's a huge desire for a PC release and I think GTA IV id still selling fairly well on PC isn't it?

    Diablo and ARMA 3 are what i'm looking forward to mostly. Well, mainly Diablo 3, speaking of which, anyone have any idea on a release date?

    With GTA V I don't think they announced any formats for i yet.

    I believe the last few GTA games and Rockstar games in general have been released on console first then maybe over a half a year later its releasesd on PC.


    The last 4 GTA's in the main series where released on PC well after the console release. LA Noire and Bully as well.

    Red Dead Redemption hasn't got a PC release yet :(
