For me, it is making huge tank battles in the editor, and watching them play out from a nearby hill. It is so fun.

I do not understand the opposition towards female soldiers (and especially female civilians) in this game. If women are able to serve in the military today, why in 2035 will they all somehow have been kicked out? Women are increasingly being allowed into front line combat roles today, so why would this trend stop by 2035? Not to mention, there are female pilots in various air forces, so why not have a female pilot model? Unless the opposition to this is just pure sexism, I do not really understand. I do not want this merely so I can have an "avatar" of my own gender, but rather it would just make the game more realistic. And I am sure realism is something we can all get behind.

I would have to disagree with this. I have played Arma for years, and only touched "true" multiplayer a few times during the Arma 3 Alpha. For me, all the fun comes from making missions in the editor (anything from huge Kursk-style tank battles to stealthy assassination missions), then playing against the AI either alone or with a friend or two. Due to my crappy internet connection I can't play multiplayer even if I wanted to anyway.

I personally am not interested in multiplayer in the Arma series, I just spend hundreds of hours making singleplayer missions in the editor. Don't need a mic for that. :)

I have played hundreds of hours of Arma 2, and I have not once touched multiplayer. I have tried playing a bit of multiplayer in the Arma 3 Alpha, but the kids taking it way too seriously (using real life military lingo) kind of ruins it for me. I just spend large amounts of time building awesome missions in the editor and playing with them myself. If it wasn't for the editor, I would probably lose interest in the Arma series quite quickly.
