And why do you think that this is a "I hate BIS" campaign?? As far as I know the vast majority here bought BIS ArmA products and some here that criticize ArmA3 perhaps even bought more BIS products than yourself - I for example bought all OFP/ArmA1/ArmA2/ToH and ALL their associated addons/DLCs - So please but don't patronize me, there's a chance that I probably bought more BIS products than yourself and this grants me the right to criticize any BIS products whenever I want!
I do really hate the setting of ArmA3 and NO, for the first time I WON'T BUY a BIS product and for the same reasons (sci-fi-ish stuff) I won't buy the Carrier Command game either (also from BIS) but while I don't have any problems with Carrier Command since this game is meant to be "sci-fi-ish" from the begining the same doesn't apply to the ArmA series - ArmA series whatever you like it or not it's an INFANTRY SIMULATOR (that includes other units which aren't simulated with the same detail as infantry such as tanks, helicopters, etc...) which models existing or based on real life units and their weaponry.
For me what BIS is doing regarding ArmA3 is the same thing as if for example ED would decide to make a DCS:X-Wing!

And since one of the few ways to communicate with BIS is using forums and I really like to have an "ArmA3" with a BELIEVABLE past, present or at best VERY NEAR future setting I won't stop demonstrating my dislike regarding the direction that ArmA3 took. And from what I see I'm far from being the only one here!
And yes, some BIS devs do really read this (and other) forums.

actually this thread ain't about ArmA3... so take that there... this is about GROUND BRANCH, i ask that you stay on topic now... thanks.

Have to admit that i was under the impression they went belly up a few years ago and it´s a nice surprice they are still out there.
I will definatly keep an eye open on April 16th and see what the fuss is about!

I'll bet a billion dollars no BIS devs look in this forum for people's opinions on Arma 3.
Maybe they'd look in the Arma forum, in a thread with Arma 3 in the title?

No, you're right, they'll be looking in the general - tac sims forum in a thread named "Ground Branch" for that.

As for GB, I also had thought this thing went the way of Fighter Ops (which apparently is also officially "not dead yet") so I'm somewhat surprised to see anything new. I'm neither dismissive nor hyped for it, however. If it comes, it comes.




The Jedi Master

Same feeling here. Don't have my hopes up, but if it comes another good realism-grounded shooter is always certainly welcome in my library.

Well, color me surprised. I thought for sure this one was dead.

Roger that. My appologies...

Only a few days left. I am looking forward to seeing what features made it in the final game. They say that they are done experimenting with features in GB, so a proper feature list might be possible. Many things were brought up, including adjustable weapon zero, the ability to kick open certian doors (with a random chance for how many attempts it would take), and much more. Obviously a lot of these ideas will not make it in... but I hope to find out which ones do and don't soon.

Some gameplay videos would be nice to.

What would be the point of adjustable weapon zero? When I was in I zeroed my rifle exactly once...

That was my thought as well, and I doubt it will be in the final game. But as I said, I am interested in knowing what did and what did not make it.

Looks like it will only be PvP up front. Not sure how or when SP/co-op will be done.
