    I think ARMA 3 will be similar. Although if it's anything like ARMA 2, the skillset required is much higher than the casual gamer has and most are put off by that.

    Arma doesn't have persistent massive battlefields. half the time AI makes up 80% of the players anyway right?

    I guess they are persistent until you conquer all the towns and take the map, but yes AI is the main enemy. Unless it's PVP. But even then it's like 4 on 4 at best 6 on 6.

    No persistent worlds in Arma, but if you plan to take on a MP mission you better have at least 5-6 hours on hand. You spawn in on the island and the AI randomly generates which town you have to attack and capture. There are side missions for assassinations, hostage rescue and more. It's no PS2 but it's no BF3 either. The learning curve is extremely high.

    For the first two weeks you'll get shot by someone you couldn't even see. A lot of people never make it past that. When they do though, the immersion and tacticality (I just made that word up) are unparalleled.

    Sitting on a hill with a spotter waiting 30 minutes for your target to get into prime position might seem boring to some, but it's truly a blast. A FPS with consequences. Not just, respawn in 5 seconds and spawn onto a capture point.

    I'm pretty stoked for Arma3. :9

    I play Arma 2 and DayZ. Yes I'am the guy in DayZ and Arma 2 that shot you from 1,200 meters with a 50cal and wondering" what happened?".
    Yes the BF3 crowd and COD wont like it as much. You can't Just run and gun in ARMA like in COD and BF, you'll get raped.
