@santinegrete True that I don't think that true Arma fans will miss the campaign at all. I know I wont. And if they do they just have to wait for it and play some player made missions untill then.
@JOHN1486 True, I love the editor. It really helps you on ur game. You can use it to get more familiar with the map, test vehicles and guns. Create quick missions to clear out a town or set targets to take down with a heli. It's awesome they give you such a powerful editor built in with the game.
@93ChevyNut I'm not sure but arma is a more realistic, strategic game, its a lot more slower pace, like 93 chevy said there is a lot more commands, and in this game you have to do things like change the range in your scope if you are sniping. It's a lot more in depth and more realistic, your not just running with your guns blazzing all the time. In this game you need to wait and sometimes plan your next move. In a sandbox environment that is arma it gives you a lot of things to think about like terrain advantages like elevation and coverage. Also depending what mod your playing things like "how am I going to get there" comes into play. Also Arma has one of the greatest communities of contributors, everyday there are new player made content coming out. Missions/vehicles/weapons/NPCS/Mods/etc
@daabulls23 You def need some practice specially if you want to fly around hehe. I find that the showcases help out a good amount with that. Everyone should take advantage of the editor too. There you can setup all sorts of scenarios for you to practice.
@BladeTrinity114 @MigzBR I've been playing the game since alpha and I'm still having a blast. They fixed a lot of stuff on the beta and introduced some neat stuff on the editor to make missions even better. This game is also different from your normal shooter is a strategic shooter so game pace is slower and more realistic. There is also a vast list of commands. It takes a bit getting used to but the game is def not rubbish.
@BladeTrinity114 @MigzBR THat is what alpha is, you cant expect to play an game in Alpha and not encounter a good ammount of bugs. Bohemia knows what their community focus on which is the online aspect of the game. The campaign is just a plus and it will be coming out for free and a month after. But like I said the core part of this game is the online aspect and the mods that come out. With the support from steam workshop it would make that experience even better.
@Simplythebest12 Like someone else said this might not be the game for you, but there will be a lot of single player missions out when the game comes out, they will just be not official that's all. Arma has a great community of players that are always releasing their own missions and content to add to the game. Steam workshop should be on when the game launches so it will be easy to access it too.
It's not a big deal since there will be a huge amount of player made single player missions out when the game comes out anyways. I just hope that they lunch with the steam workshop support so we can download those missions easly. Arma is truly an online game, that's where you will get the full experience of this game. With a great community there will be more than enough content to make everyone happy and no one will be bored. There are already a lot of really great player made missions and content just check http://www.armaholic.com.
@Simplythebest12 Online is where Arma lives and breathes, the online has been on since the alpha was released and it's there so ppl can push the engine and report bugs. A big part of arma are the player made online missions and modes and they would never take that away to give players offline content. Its a good move by them since no matter what there will be a lot of player made single player missions out when they game comes out.
