    I will go through a few of the aspects of ArmA and how I think it could be improved.

    Movement

    Now, before you light your torches and get your pitchforks, I am not going to say how Call Of Duty's movement system is superior since that game is aimed at fun deathmatch style gameplay rather than simulating war. But, what I have noticed in ArmA 2 is that there seems to be a slight delay between pressing a key and having something happen. For example, when I press W, there seems to be about a 20-30ms delay between actually the key being pressed and starting to move. I am not talking about speeding up, because I know you can't instantly start running at full speed, but it seems that there is a delay before something even starts to happen. I don't know if this is a bug or them trying to simulate reaction time. If it is reaction time, then I am slightly confused because we (The humans) are the ones with the reaction time and not the avatar in game. If I have reaction time and the avatar also has reaction time, it is just making double reaction time which isn't realistic.

    Anyway, I could keep going but that is just a few of my thoughts on how to get people into ArmA with improvements to the game.

    Thought I might aswell make an account :D

    I am new to ARMA and the main point I am interested in ARMA 3 is the complexity and depth it has. It is something that many people would want in a game, and this game seems to have the level of tactical awareness and team work required to make a game that has a phenomenal atmosphere, that is original and satisfying.

    As a new player I really hope that BIS do not dumb down the complexity which is the main selling point for me. Sadly I am going to name drop Battlefield 3, the follow up to Battlefield 2. Battlefield 3 is not a bad game at all, but stands nowhere near the complexity and depth Battlefield 2 had. All I hope is that BIS make a true follow up to ARMA 2.

    I agree with the movement problem 100%, reactions should happen straight away, but added animations are always a nice feature.
