Another part of the campaign.

Until they fix the performance problems in there game I don't really care! Fix the damn game before releasing new shiny things. I don't really care about shiny unless it involves less CPU overhead!

Agreed.

I'll stick with ArmA II and Arrowhead until things get sorted out with 3 (which I own). ArmA 2 is still more enjoyable with all of its content.

Rocket is too busy with dayz standalone beta, that can't be it. Bohemia have a habit of doing this sort of thing and its usually underwhelming. Their customers have already been telling them for a year what arma 3 need to be popular and they ignored it all. Now tricks won't bring the players in. Its a really talented team that is really poorly managed unfortunately.

So it turns out its a free dlc called Zeus. Its basically a mission commander like the mod MCC, something the community has been using for nearly a decade. Underwhelmed.

To be honest I could really care less for a mode that allows on the fly changes to the scenario and map. Ugh....Seriously though, I feel like they have so much updating to the engine to do, this was a problem with Arma 2 as well. The fluidity of game play is just not there, everything feels glitchy or stiff. So many bugs to get rid of, and so many tweaks need to be made. I haven't even moved on to Arma 3 yet.

Bohemia is probably one of the worst developers when it comes to professionalism in the games they make next to Bethesda.

They seriously needed to make a new engine for Arama 3 and now instead they have numerous issues to fix.

Its also mindboggling how much time they seem to waste, Day Z was supposed to be released last Fall and what do you get now? An early access title that isn't close to Beta, maybe 1-2 years from now at their pace. Same thing with Arma 3, they had a ridiculously long early access period and still managed to not have a full game upon release.

The amount of hours I wasted getting multiplayer detailed FPS profiles for them at their request to fix the FPS issues and they did exactly zero with them. BIS is never going to fix their junk games, they simply don't know how. Some developers are hampered by their publishers, but with Bohemia they just lack the technical know how to do a good job.

Because they built a buggy piece of shit engine. I mean think about it like this, I bet you yo could make an island the size of Arma 3's island on the Frostbite 3 engine. And in that engine when you drive or see others driving or walking about, it wont be laggy or choppy, wont stutter or warp around. The game has the worst online coding I have ever seen.
