Will they FINALLY make on online mulitplayer that will compete with those titles? As of now their game is far above those two. However I don't understand the business decision to not even try and compete in the lucrative online PvP multiplayer? They leave it up to random individuals with low populated servers. PLEASE try. You have the game, just build it!!!

It is the Shipmate, not the reporter who has given us freedom of press.
It is the Airmen, not the poet who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Marine, not the campus organizer who gives us freedom to demonstrate.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag. Who allows the protester to burn the flag?
You do realize that CoD and BF are popular in MP simply because anyone can play it at random servers due to their extremely primitive gameplay and a complete lack of teamwork?
ArmA at its core can't be played like that. Besides why would you want to play ArmA like that? This game is about teamwork and tactics.
Fix AI in ArmA3
AI knows enemy position at all times, no matter what (incl. video) || AI reflexes are extremely bad in CQB (incl. video) || AI can't see enemies being lit by light at night
Fix realism issues with ArmA3
Sprinting is too fast and instantaneous || It takes 0.1 sec to pull a pin and throw a grenade || The sun is not dangerous (this is NOT for A2 HDR, it's for A1/A2 sun visual) || floating camera when rolling and aiming
I thought you can play ArmA any way your want.Originally Posted by metalcraze

no thanks, if people want BF's or MW's multiplayer then the solution is simple-go and buy BF and MW (like i did btw). however, don't spoil arma with their "War is cool, let's start runnin & gunnin" approach. I perfectly understand that kids like the notion that war looks cool, but Arma is something different in it's very essence. Arma makes it plain clear (both in SP and MP) that war is an ugly place where one reckless move means game over. so, i don't think we need BF's MP clone. much more important (and useful for selling) is to make Arma look graphically stunning like modern games.
This, this, this, holy shit this.
So explain to me how DayZ a game which flourish teaming up with people has made BI a HUGE chunk of cash due to that mod?
My point is that teamplay has nothing to do with popularity of a game. if a game is good and unique, people will buy it regardless if its team orientated or not.
DayZ mod still uses the same mechanics of Arma 2. its just that it has zombies to contest with and persistant online saving of your character. thats it.
the realism and physics are still there.

What i would love from Arma 3 is more of a PvPvPvE type game where you have multiple factions either fighting eachother or teaming up together to take down the AI.
Why does a game have to be either PVe or PVP? why cant a game have multiple factions/sides?
hehe, you are probably right, tho i try out some new games from time to time ; ) but still stuck with these ^Besides, how would you even know its impossible if you only play arma, il-2 and dcs series
hehe
hell if i know, most likely when people read/hear the word "ArmA" they imagine overcomplicated extremely hardcore military simulator which can run only on NASA supercomputers, while the game is plain simple and not that scary when you get hang of it.
and when they read/hear "mod" "Zombies" they imagine stuff like garrys mod/day of defeat/left4dead, and after all these youtube videos/whatever they come up with straight idea that dayz is a new "stalker", thinking like this mod is very distant from original ArmA, while... VVV
but how many people know that?
ever played warfare? this is exacly pvpvpve you are talking about
aaaaanyway
ArmA always needed (and still need) more promotion of it's benefits and showcase gamemodes and mods on youtube, so casuals will see that game is awesome, but not their average cod/bf. when you see a massive assault with 5-7 helicopters over your head, tanks entering the town, lavs, cars, planes shooting rockets while you and your squad mates rushing into town with chaos all around and commander yell on radio to move, this is not what you can see/experience in any other games. the point is to show it right, to make it obvious that arma is huge scaled and epic

so you agree with my point then
Anyways yea i tried warfare at launch but it died down quite fast. they need to work on the CQC in this game in order for PvP to be more appealing.
I fully agree with this post.
However the ARMA series is quite versatile from an end-user perspective, I would consider any broad scale effort to make fundamental changes to the gameplay to attract more players from those demographics a complete betrayal of the game's core supporters.

Agree and disagree...
Agree, ArmA certainly is about teamwork and tactics...
However, many of us get quickly bored to death doing COOPs since AI isn't that much real... I mean, you see them from far distance, you shoot that little bot... it turns 360 degrees around, then it crouches, then stands up again, running a bit, then loop: it turns 360 degrees around... I am always wondering why guys do not get boring chasing some unbelievable enemies... on the other hand, I've seen bots doing headshots with AK and one single shot at 500+ meters from distance... unbelievable also...
IMO nothing compares to real human instant response... then I really feel I'm simulating a firefight, planning combat tactics, warfare, you know...
So, I disagree with you when AI becomes the core of simulation... for me it's just an optional module, which is fine and, of course, is ok for single player fun... but, again, I can't see much teamwork over there... I mean it sound weird... AI teamwork gameplay... (?)
I expect a real warfare simulation with hordes of troops... real human troops... in the meantime, I'll keep helping out PVP and teamwork oriented and like minded guys regarding this matter...
Saludetes!
