NEW ArmA Game confirmed


Does bring up interesting questions of should they make it backwards compatible with the current series or start afresh. I guess I have differing views on this and I’m not sure which one they should take. I’d be interested to hear what some of the more knowledgable people here think on the subject.

As much as it would bugger our mods, I really bloody hope they make a clean start. There is so much crap and inconsistent junk that's accumulated over the last two decades, modding in Arma is a real nuisance.

1-2 years before release
1-2 years after release for the community to fragment and then rebuild.

So 3-4 years before we're back to our current state.  A long time....

It's good news nonetheless.

So 3-4 years of still using Arma 3 then before a slow transition to Arm4.

Well interestingly this same question came up in 2012 and it did fracture us for a while. All the newer player (including me) wanted to run A3 as it was so much more fluid even if we had no mods. The older crew wanted to stay with A2 which was very well developed to be fair and had a great play experience. It took us about 6 months to move over 100% thanks to Massi who released a UKSF pack which was good enough for us to at least feel like a British unit.

It was the same with the move from Arma 2 to Arma 3.. So life goes on.. :)
