seba1976 98 Posted August 23, 2009 Maybe they are, they just cant vote in this poll so we will never know. :p +1:p I'm 33 by the way. When I was younger I played a lot of games. I don't have so much time now as I used to, and since OFP/ARMA is a very time consuming thing, it's the only game/sim I do. I think the game being so complex and requiring so much time to get to enjoy it - following the news, the forums, the scripting language, the mission making, et al - is a very defining factor that affects the average age of the players. Besides the slower pace - which is also important - younger players want to play all games, and they simply cannot dedicate the time that Arma needs and stop playing what their friends are playing... and cheers for that :p.

moondawg 12 Posted August 25, 2009 36, and loving my hobby. This coincides with the various Project Reality age polls, Tactics rather than twitch attracts more mature gamers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would fantasy change when you'r over 50 ;) In our team 2 are approaching 50 like myself and 1 is a retired airforce officer of 61. Let the games begin :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeerHunter 0 Posted August 25, 2009 Id there really 28 of them? No offence to those of that age group, but I find it hard to belive. I just dont see anyone over 50 getting into this... And why not?? It's not a twitch game like BF2 , CoD etc. It's more of a thinking mans game , kinda like chess (ArmA2) vs checkers (the other FPS's). Many of us have some actual military time under our belts and you can play ArmA2 as a rank you never had a hope in hell of achieving in RL :o Coordinating an assault as a Major instead of following it in as a Private can be a lot of fun. We didn't all get left behind in the technology boom ya know. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TechnoTerrorist303 10 Posted August 26, 2009 31 here. Arma2 has several things appealing to me. There's the editing/coding aspect of creating missions and the serious tactical element of actually carrying out an operation. There is also the blowing s*** up element which is awesome.

LardThief 10 Posted August 26, 2009 30 and 48 weeks!? The main point of interest is the fact Arma2 is a simulator and not strictly a FPS. However due to the editor and scripting functions, which are clearly better than any other game, I can make it a FPS if I want to! These also make the game pretty much as restrictive as your imagination. Also the vehicles are "real", there are no wizards or spaceships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
