And everyone I know that plays Arma 3 fall into two camps:
-DayZ
-military wannabes/has-beens
I'd hardly call Arma complex or hard. More like really slow and boring. Almost as slow and boring as actually being in the Army.
Kinda the reason behind it...
Simulator games, are often exactly that, slow and boring. But where they make up for that, is when things happen, things tend to get intense.
ever play DCS and end up in a dogfight? You spent 10 minutes prep time for the flight out, 10 minutes getting to the fight, then BOOM, things happen so damn fast your head spins, you get engaged in an awesome fight, then, things calm back down.
DayZ's the same way. You prep, you go out, gather your resources... Often even on a high population server, you may be all alone in a town, nothing but the infected and you for 30+ minutes... then, you hear a single shot, and a ping that lands near you. you're engaged, and you either have to fight or run. DayZ, in fact, is the only game I play, where I'll actually come away shaking after encounters with other players.
Some people LOVE that kind of gameplay. Hell if CW was more about getting out to the fight, I'd still play it. If there were garrison duty missions, I'd do them. Why? Because I LOVE simulation play.
people say the Laser Lock On system doesn't make sense. They argue that you'd just focus the lens focal length to infinity and deal with a baseline damage. Ect, Ect. I'd argue it makes total sense.
The lasers focus through the lenses, to get proper damage on target, your targeting system should be devoted to your current target. Your battlemech does most of the calculations then, Ok X target is Y distnace away, focus the lasers to z focal length." ect.
To those saying it doesn't make sense... I ask you... what does make sense in a game that follows 80's lowfi scifi logic, follows giant walking tanks that barely run because those using them barely remember how to keep them operational, and utilize tech that our current day military can outclass, yet they are considered kings of the battlefield?
I, personally. Welcome the laser changes, and all the changes the re-balance will bring.
