Well i guess i was just alittle scared, but now that i read all 3 of you guyses posts it kinda gives me alittle more hope.

What i've Seen Now to me it looks like they way people play arma is different. Now the reason i say this is it seems that most of the game types aren't really what they used to be. Like Domination Or Evo, Now these game types are really what brings out the fun in arma and shows what it can do. Now idk if this is only because we are in Alpha but Right now im only seeing Wasteland And TDM servers :(... To me wasteland is o most like a Apocalypse/Life type game, with tdm and well it just doesnt feel right. I've played arma for a very long time, (Since Arma 1 came out) and to me it feels like the player base is changing. I think its changing because the DayZ mod brought it a bunch of newer players that i think is great, BUT they are used to BF3/COD and other FPS like that and now because there are more of them then older arma players it seems like people are trying to bring in the FPS type style game play into arma which i am not happy about at all, just because they arent patient enough to learn how to play the game like they can to its full potential. And i understand that its hard to learn when you dont have any support so i think that the experienced arma players need to start making detailed tutorials and explanations of how to play arma realilistically but keep it fun. So with that said I love the game, i love Bohemia Interactive and the games they make, i even bought the supporter addition, but i just dont want to see the old game types like Domi And evo go away because a bunch of old FPS players outnumber the normal players. So now let me ask what do you guys think. If this is in the wrong area please move it to the proper one, i tried to find a spot to fit but couldnt find any other then the general board.

This is something the community really needs. I remember when i first started playing the first arma a few months after it came out. I thought the game was amazing, but i didnt really know what was going on or what to do and it didnt really make the game very fun and i quickly lost interest. But a few months later i decided to give it another try and i hung out on a community Server and ventrilo and i was able to learn and enjoy the game. Because they where willing to teach me and then i was turned into a "armaholic" i cant play any other game and every time i try, i lose intrest. I would love to help people out with this game. I am actually Righting a tutorial for new players in the arma series. And if anyone would like to help me please shoot me a PM and i will be happy to accept help. Now in the topic of DayZ Players, i understand that they like the game and thats the kind of game that they like. But i think they should just stay in the standalone if zombie servival is there only interest in arma. But if you like the military side of the game, then we should take them in and help them learn some of the new aspects of the game, and show them what we can do with it. And how fun the game can really get.

That is pretty much every thought i was thinking. Well said my friend. And BH Keep up the good work. This game is gonna be worth the wait at the end im sure of it.

I really think that Java would be more useful then C or C++. And Java would be easier for the devs to integrate within the game.

A very true and fustrating part that i saw yesterday, got on my first multiplayer server and just had people screwing everything up. To be honest i think its just the people who dont play arma for the arma experience but for day Z
