    Different people, different tastes. I personally love it, the time investment rather than the insta-fights is something I love

    It's a simulation shooter, there's no way in hell I'd ever expect you to play it. Kowl and I spent 20 minutes at one point this morning just traveling by foot to an AO marked on the map by our squad lead only to get there and realize the entire enemy encampment had been blown up. Yet for some reason we loved it. :D

    I thought you tried War Thunder too. Was that boring? Why don't you play that?

    Battlefield 3 is a very approachable game. It's easy to get into. Easy to understand. It fills a niche for a very large market. Arma is not easy to get into. It's not easy to understand and it fills a very specific market. The people who play it are absolutely die hard about it. Why can't people live and let live?

    Today we witnessed a guy named "Derek" join the server we were on and ask a million questions. It was his first time playing. How do I change my optics. "Go to base, find the loadout crate, use your mouse wheel, select inventory/loadout, go to items, scroll down through the 100 optic sites and pick the one that fits your gun, redeploy".

    How do I get to where you guys are? Can I spawn on you?

    No. Get in a ground vehicle at base and drive 3.5km to where we are my opening your map, using the coordinates to locate our soldiers, then by holding left shift+mouse 1 to set a GPS waypoint".

    Do you guys expect the average player to spend that type of time just to get to an enemy? And then most likely die when they get there because they have no idea how incredibly smart the AI is?

    Kowl has expressed his love for the game. As have I. And we're met with people who are telling us we're wrong. Or that it sucks. What is that all about? Do you think we're lying about our feelings on the game to other NNG members and if so, wtf would the point of that be?

    This is becoming confusing. O_o

    If a game where 16 planes fight against 16 other planes in massive air wars is boring, then how could you possibly expect anything less than watching paint dry from Arma3?

    At no point did I want any part of this flame war. I never said your game was bad just that I think people hype it up around here. I don't play on playing it so stop yelling at me. I'm here to play battlefield, its the only reason why I joined this community.

    It's like the road trip. One kid isn't touching the other while the other is screaming "MOM! HE'S TOUCHING ME!"

    I for one am rather tired of seeing people bicker about this, and kinda am upset with myself for bickering about it too. I get it though, some people love to act as if they are in the military. It's like when you were a 4-13 year old boy with sticks running around and pretending to slash eachother... this is what that is, it's a sim. I get it.... sort of. When people are a fan of something, they are the fan of it, warts and all. Like music, video games are subjective. Anyway...
