RIP free mods. Monetization will divide the community. There will be accusations, there will be modders hiding "how they did it" from the others, free content being pulled from the web and all sorts of community drama all while the modders are being robbed 75% of the revenue they bring. The reason ArmA series do so well is because they're sandboxes with nearly unlimited content made over the decade. Its stock content is nothing worth mentioning over the grand scheme of things. If you bring a paywall to this sandbox, you'll just choke out the content in long term. It's poison for the community and the game. I hope BIS stays out of this.

Apparently the technology is just not there. I'm hoping for ArmA 4.

Dear diary, it's 2015. BIS forums still don't allow images over 100kb. I will report back in 2020.

I played this a lot just after the release and it got me excited about how great ArmA 3 will be, in regards of teamwork oriented PvP. I took a break of about 2 months and came to see the PvP servers that dominated the release have all been disappeared and Domination/COOP/Wasteland plague took over the server browser again. I honestly don't know how people like to spend 3-4 hours fighting against the brain dead AI. I suggest that we pick a designated "official blitzkrieg" server, favourite it and keep it populated at all times.

I don't think there is anyone in this forum who wants worse flight models(current) for the helicopters. The rest are just die-hard BIS defenders or trolls. Does BIS care though? Clearly not. They've always been more interested in better graphics and animations, not more simulation.

You know your "infantry simulation" is lacking features when people suggest features found in mainstream games.

The OP is talking about subtle graphical effects to achieve more life in the game that is always present. Also adding "civilian life" to missions take a lot of effort to make it believeable. Mostly you don't get anything but having civilians standing around like idiots, doing the same animation on the loop completely oblivious to events in the environment, or at best crawling in the middle of the roads. Not something I'd call "atmospheric".

I'd recommend having balance tested and fun maps in the official pack, rather than everything out there. Unbalanced maps could lead to players being turned off.

There's no reason not to get Win8 if you're getting a new computer. If you already have Win7 there's no reason to upgrade either.

I have the same issue as well.

I think the 64 player version is too large. We don't need to use the whole map, it just makes this mission feel like Domination/Evolution. Please make a smaller version where both teams can get to the frontline on foot in reasonable time.

Please keep the Domination/Warfare/Evolution infestation away from ArmA 3. It's time this community embraced proper public PvP instead of coop.

Lots of people bought into the hype and bought this content-poor Alpha, and they have no idea what to do with it. Yesterday we had a lot of griefers on our server too, too bad we had great teamwork going together with complete strangers until that point.

This is the third iteration of OFP and we still don't have these very basic features of infantry combat. I wish they didn't do all those gimmicky diving stuff and worked on this very needed feature instead.

Do people even read those "HEREZ MY PC GUYS" signatures? I thought it became uncool in 2005.
