Awards voting : IGN - Best of 2010 , GameSpot - Best of 2010, PcGames - FPS of 2010

i think the problem lays in way how these votes are set ...
i have no idea why huge publications / gaming media can't separate
single platform (XBOX360 or PS3 or PC or Wii or mobile) and multiPlatform titles ...
cause if you combine into vote single and multiplatform title then the multiplatform one always get more votes

I agree Dwarden. That sure is the problem. You just cant have CoD and ArmA in same list. A2 is PC only and not only that. You need to have pretty good computer to run it. On the other hand theres CoD with milions of consolers.

Oh let them have their starcrafts and cods. Masses will always vote for simple things like games with a single-cell gameplay. If anything IGN's most challenging game is more than enough. I just wish ArmA will always be like that and improving.

I just have to tell you that the Gamespot awards are retarded. Best graphics and people are voting God of War III? Are you F-ing kiding me?

On that trust me if any game deserves best graphics its GOW3, its a stunning technical achievement. Fairly sure devs here who have played it will agree. It has raised the bar for consoles.

Voted for OA in all categories.

ArmA II is the best for us, And thats all that matters in the end. Idk what more us at A2 could wish for. We got DLC and patches coming in left right and center, mod tools to do whatever we need to do with. We got devs posting on the forums like they've not got a game to be making.. or anything.

StarCraft and CoD will always dominate over games like this. And perhaps, Thats a good thing. Should stop BIS getting in over their heads a bit too much.

Starcraft is a good game tho. But on the COD part Infinity Ward made good games for PC and sold well but along came PS3 and 360 and Activision so they made a decent game that they knew would sell well to the masses. In music terms its selling out but to Inifinity Ward and their "fans " its hitting the bigtime. IW hired a lot of people from the modding community and they still work there.

This creates a conundrum should BIS go all x factor and appeal to the masses and make a billion or stay with a dying format and hope to get by. The conundrum works both ways does the arma community want the game to go mainstream thus losing its "coolness" and bringing in the xbox "your a fag" style gamer.

For Bis its a Lose/Win situation, for the community its a lose/lose.

Ask codemasters if your unsure.
