ARMA 4 on planetsize?
After seeing what they achieved with the procedural gerneration in Star Citizen.. I honestly wonder if Arma4 could be a howl planet instead of one map. Well of course it would need a beast of a pc and an engine that is capabable to do this.. but just imagine if there would be something like a global map. As big as a planet is ..several servers could be used to fluently swap between KI simulation and people in the area for each sector... oh well just daydreaming here.

But it is already quite impressive to watch. Other have done this before too but quality wise this is the best I have ever seen when it comes to rendering planets fluently between all scales...

What do you think? Arma on planetsize?

Wont happen in the near future, sounds nice, but nah. I'd ratger urge bis not to transform arma4 into halo, otherwise the hate would probs be too much to handle.

BIS and BI often share technology so this seems like a possibility now that VBS is incorporating procedural Earth:

Dude, have you played ARMA 3 at all? Imagine how bad the optimization would be with an entire planet.

What they need to do is add more vanilla maps, more variety. It's obvious that people love some snow, some sand, even some WW2 scenarios, so add that instead of doing campaigns that 80% of the community doesn't care about.

It's like Bohemia doesn't know what they users want.

This game is set in 2035+, so you can wait long for that to happen.

I think you're projecting what you want on to everyone else; it sounds like you just want them to make the game that you want. I don't want WW2, "some sand" (wtf does that mean?), and I guarantee that more than 20% of the fanbase likes the SP content of the game

Does anyone care about the "story" in this game? At all? The campaign is decent to have something to do alone or coop but literally everyone buys this game for online or mods, so yes, WW2 does make sense. It doesnt need to have a campaign, but the assets for the editor sure will be good.

Suggest it as a DLC then.

Are you telling me that any of the DLCs was suggested beforehand?
Which one? KARTS? Marksman? Neo-Malden? Red Cross thingy? KITCHEN PLANER?

What is your argument friend?
If you want BIS to do something you must annoy them 24/7

If you wish to argue with Mirudes, one must ingest five pounds of BELGIAN WAFFLES.
