Pretty sad really.

All the Gen Yers want their piece of zombie killin'

Sad world we live in.

How do you figure?

I dont think it is sad that a mainstream genera landed ARMA into the number 1 selling game spot. That income is going to vastly improve arma3 IMHO and I can deal with all the crap that being mainstream brings as long as arma3 profits. I just hope that they dont try to dumb down arma3 for all these newbies.

Totally agree with Master. Bohemia Interactive have proven to me to not only have a good handle on games development and the business of selling games but also a solid idea of their place, or niche, in the industry.

BI's profitability is good for all of us who enjoy their games regardless of the "flavor of the month" that drives it. Any concerns that they will become a zombie game studio are unfounded.

Nor sure what Darren wants the "Gen Yers" to be doing. Would dropping bombs from virtual airplanes be a more acceptable use of their time? Perhaps Farmville?

Hopefully they will hurry up and finish Carrier Command too!

Combined Arms is on sale now too for those that don't have it yet - $24.99 (I think).

Exactly. And at its core, DayZ + ArmA2 is still a tactical shooter, whether you like it or not. It has all the elements of a tactical shooter, just with a fantasty/sci-fi element thrown in. And as most players will tell you, the biggest allure of the game is the dynamic between players - deciding if you can trust other humans, working together, hunting other groups, etc. Listen in on the SimHQ group and you'll hear players working together as well if not better than the crowd during a typical 'tactical' session on plain jane ArmA2.

I want to get fired up for it but, the new Syndicate just broke my heart so I am leery of remakes as of late.

I agree that the sales of Arma2 will do nothing but assist with the development of Arma3....which is all good in my books. I have been onboard with BIS since OFP...and will continue to get as much BIS goodness as time will allow. I may hook up with you guys in DayZ here very soon...
