Arma 3 -The most boring game ever devised.

[AI.Gore]

OMG is it rubbish
Massive detailed map and 99% of the action happens within 400m of the center point.

That is if you cqan actually get there alive.
99 times out of a 100 you'll be killled on the flight in as the pilot inevitably crashes or messes up somehow and gets everyone killed
After dying 5 times in a row you decide to use a buggy, which then hits one of the many rocks about totally disabling it so youre forced to walk 3000m to find anyone else to shoot at.

Did i say there was walking involved ?
Oh yes indeed. so much walking the national world walking championships use it as a simulator.

So youve made it to the battle zone alive(and probably on foot) Whats going on ?
Nothing is going on. You can hear sporadic gunfire but no players. Sometimes the fire is very close but you still cant see from where.
Only youre painted bright orange with a fking bell around your neck.

After a while you understand what youre meant to do and its this:
1.Get to the zone alive
2.Find a spot to hide and with 40 enemy within a 2km radius the hiding spots are a plenty.
3.DO NOTHING. And ffs dont fire your gun.

ARMA3 - Lots of walking, lots of being killed by your own team,lots of sitting about twiddling your thumbs.


But wait...

There are other maps and play styles.
You can join a map without any guns and walk around doing nothing.

OR

You can stand infront of a signpost in a line with other players, for hours at a time. Little to do but look in peoples packs and watch all those helicopters sitting doing nothing.


Candy Crush is more stimulating that this. This is uber geek for the sake of geekiness. This is what happens when a fun game loses its waypoint.

And yes im looking at it all in all its ultra glory. Just a shame thats all there is to do.



OK. Bring it on fanboys(and girls)

I can say the same about you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥. You really are the hypocrite of the decade. I played enough of the game to make my own opinion. Not because some kid decided to hop on the forum to piss everyone off.

I'm sorry I got a little angry.

hello there

That's not fair, I thought I was the nooblet and the biggest schmoozer on the forums.

I need to up my game.

As too framerates, ensure you are on a decently run server, most issues I have online is folk who want to be leet admins but have no idea of how to correctly set up their server and wonder why on their mega player count games they have issues.

The only lagging I get is mainly down to my old rig.

There are well run severs out the and there are poorly configured ones.

I wish BI could do something about these but its not in their remit.

does not matter how many times folks say....

You're FPS sucks in MP do to server/crazy weird mission! Everytime it becomes a blanket party for everything Arma3 and FPS = garbage. Even if it does run really well in SP with good mission design. Although certain things are really annoying such as the drunk driving ai when set to anything but careless. Or AI planes flying into the ground now and then. But as far as MP goes, all the popular missions are pretty crappy on FPS do to server or billions of scripts. Or allowing a zillion various mods run without forcing all clients to also run them. Have to wonder if error reports are spamming the server to death.

Hello there

Most decent servers will have a PWS package for mods so its easy to install and keep up to date.

Although admittedly when a mod doesnt match up Arma doesnt give decent feedback, then again mods arent up to them.

I played a good long stint on the 3 Commando Brigade server recently and I had no fps issues.

Thank you sir, for the best ArmA 3 video ever made.

UPDATE

I confirm my original post- Arma 3 is the most boring slow paced game ive evert played

Please dont start of the 'tactical' nonsense.
Tactical- Nobody about to shoot at. Spend hours creeping through the scrub
Intense battles- 10 guys shooting at each other over long distance.

I started(nore or less) on Quake arena.
THAT is intense gaming. You have a clear objective

TFC
Another top intense game. lots of shooting, lots of killing lots of team play and an objective.

If this is what you think intense gaming is i suggest you try tfc or even tf2 as on both of those types ive really enjoyed the experience.

Not so Arma3
YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWN

The idea is sound but its not got the numbers

If you can't find or create fun in a sandbox game you must be extremely, tediously dull and entirely devoid of anything resembling an imagination.

it is you who is boring son, the game is fine.

Create fun in a sandbox

Right, yeah how fking amazingly BORING
I could create some battles with unimagainative AI troops, maybe fly around a bit. Maybe fly upside down for a little further excitement.

I like Jazz. I dont like experimental Jazz. Arma 3 is experimantal Jazz but without the interested audience.

Have to laugh at all the fanboys getting bent out of shape, defending their little soldier game...Hahaha.

BI didn't Twist anyones arm to buy the Game. If you don't like it, fine. Move on and find something else. Looks like someone needs to take an extra dose of their Prozac and Ritalin.

Honestly as far as the game goes, only the single player campaign should be judged as BIS's work. All those strange MP missions are the result of users making whatever it is are trying to do. Often violating common well excepted concepts of game flow and balance. Sometimes it strangly works out, sometimes its frankly crazy. But the experience is based on somebody that has nothing to do with BIS. It is a shame that after all this time, BIS for instance has not come up with a good MP mission type that represents their vision and makes the most use of their assets. SO, people will judge the MP part based on many vary strange user made missions.
