I totally agree with you !
I'm a PR:bf2 player (played america's army a lot too), I don't like Bf3 or Cod-like games, I DO like games that needs teamwork, patience, and skill. As I have NO fun to play vs AI (even the most sophisticated one), I want to play vs other humans, in a great game with a solid MP and good PvP modes (like PR's ones: aas & insurgency)
I always found A2 almost unplayable due to the lack of good, basic FPS movements
@Chortles, I'm in "I like the new Arma 3 animations, even if that makes it seem less realistic to the hardcores" ring, too.
A standard, well-done, compelling PvP is vital for attracting new players.. not the bf3/cod TDM/DM fanboys but the team-oriented ones .. we're much more than you can think, all scattered in bf2,bf3, cod series, even aa2/aa3 .. all waiting for the definitive GAME, with stunning visuals and animation, good FPS movements, and teamwork-oriented MP gameplay
Will Arma3 be THE GAME? I hope so..
