at first i was hoping it was going to get a wider array of weapons considering what arma 2 ended up with but i guess we'll just have to wait for expansions. vehicle list is a bit skimpy aswell. 1 tank each doesn't leave much room for various situations, what i mean is, it'll always be them 2 going up against each other, no others to mix it up. arma 2 had a decent array of armor from the t-34 all the way up to the t-90. and the m1a1 etc etc. in the end it took a bunch of expansion content to get arma 2 into the shape it ended up in. i dunno i'm not complaining, so far i feel happy with whats in the latest dev release, it'll be nice when theres a campaign to chew through.

hmm steam isn't so bad, i hated it at first because it was just another hurdle for joining games in hl (and when it came out pc's didn't have much ram so any extra processes was a performance loss in most cases), but its not that bad any more, the one and only problem with it i would say is that according to them you don't own anything you buy from there so, if they wanted to, they could shut down and you'd lose access to everything you've bought, although that is highly unlikely considering the market share they have on DD.

first post on this forum. I've only played around with it for a few hours but i can tell a lot of potential in the game rests with the editor, if it was made more user friendly it would probably be a massive boost to player reattainment. if players could much more easily whip up half decent missions without too much hassle you'll find more ppl using it. I have been hitting the editor today actually, slowly gaining skill with it and trying to figure out what everything does, but it is quite daunting for a complete scrub. (i know how to make dynamic patrols and i've got the hang of placing objects, even setting up support artillery that you can call in is very easy to do, my next step i think will be learning how to create an objective or multiple objectives thankfully there are TONS of videos on how to use the editor)
