They haven't finished shitting out DLC for the third one yet.

Because they make more contracting out their services designing simulation software for government.

>>14644161

Jesus christ.

It's total fucking nonsense.

They coulda add more SP campaigns or anything, but nope, just more accessories.

Because these games take a fuckload of time to dev. I still play Arma 2 wine waiting for 3 to get full linux updates.

Content wise ArmA4 would be inferior for years to ArmA3 until the plugin development catches up, like ArmA3 compared to 2 was. The only reason to wish for an ArmA4 would be for a new engine that is more optimized.

>>14644153

I'd rather see some competition than more BIS shit. They are living proof that cancer comes in all sizes and shapes, not just AAA games.

>>14644153

>So why doesn't BIS make ArmA4?

Because they haven't released VBS4. BIS games are always a derivative of their military products (which is what they make their real money from).

BIS makes hardware demanding autistic games for autists has a hobby, it's not their actual job.

The engine code is a gigantic mess that hold by spit and staples, Arma 3 engine is technically still largely the original OFP engine and there is a limit on how much you can mod it.

They will probably need to go from scratch for the next one.

At this point they need a proper engine with terrain deformation, dynamic destruction, a proper animation system, and physics that actually works.

Arma is still just operation flashpoint in a wig.

Dayz haven't even come out of early access yet

>>14644153

Probably another DLC or they're just waiting for the Greek vs Turkey War to happen so they can have their revenge for that little imprisonment thing with their two devs.

>>14645701

This all can wait and not really important. First of all they need grass and fix long range LOD problem. Till then any attempts to pretend that this is some sort simulation is laughable.

>>14644153

I dunno, why weren't they able to finish Day Z?

>>14645580

Basically

they don't wanna be jailed again for espionage

>>14645598

There's already a map that makes Jets practical.

The F-14 mod on the workshop has great radar.

>>14650385

I have the F-15 from this guy but I haven't used it yet (mostly because I fuckin suck at jets). Also haven't tried Australia yet. Guess I've got some new stuff to try!

>>14645580

But it's the kind of hobby they'll slap on-disk DLC on to

>>14650394

The F-15's AMRAAM's should get a lock on targets at 10-15 km. Been a while since I played Arma.

>>14646357

The dayZ dev team has been reduced to like four guys. It's essentially their testbed for the new "infusion" engine they are trying to make, which would be the next iteration of the OFP engine realVirtuality.

>>14645598

>making jets practical

So something like half the mapsize of DCS? I am sure that won't cause a whole load of other problems.

>>14644153

Because 3 is still an unfinished heap of shit.

From OFP on, not a single one of their games had decent movement, clipping or reasonable controls in buildings.

Imagine these games with MGSV's movement controls…

>>14644153

Arma 4 is going to be a joke. They say they are working on a new engine. Boheebia can't code for shit, so any new engine they make will be a trainwreck. If by "new engine" they mean "yet another patch for OFP", then it will be a continuation of the current trainwreck (and worse than 2 and 3 for years after launch).

As is, they are happy to shit out awful DLC aimed at the cancerous Life community. On the plus side, the latest "free platform update" what was once called a patch finally added 3d interiors, a feature from OFP.

Also, I heard that Bohemia is planning to go down the monetised mods path.

tl;dr BIS can't stop jewing customers and making terrible design choices.

>>14645598

>The good news is it supports maps big enough to make jet practical.

Check out Snakeman/PMCs maps.

>>14656121

Man, if ArmA goes down, what's left for tactical shooter?

>>14656430

Arma 2 and Arma 3, continuously improved by modders who (unlike Boheebia) actually give a shit about the game.

>>14656478

We cannot play the same game forever bro.

>>14656490

>implying we haven't been playing the same game since 2001

I know what you mean though. Arma desperately needs competition from a competent developer. The market is there for the taking.

I can't believe we are still using the same retarded scroll menu in 2018, despite all the options modders have shown possible. The lying kikes said they were going to fix it 2 years ago and instead we got a fucking ambulance DLC.

Tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if Arma 4 is designed with Life and survival shit in mind.

>>14656521

ArmA3 is still the most popular game for a reason, it's new and getting updated.

>>14653597

>Imagine these games with MGSV's movement controls…

Worse? Infinitely worse in literally every way?

>>14656490

Don't make me laugh, I still play Doom mods and they're still getting better.

>>14656829

And yet they can't/won't fix the 3 FPS bug and networking problems.

>ignore the laughable state of our vanilla game goyim, look at all these mods

>oy vey, you are using too many mods, the bugs aren't our fault!

BTW, does anyone else remember when Bohemia was stealing people's OFP mods for a military ambush trainer they were selling? It shows their sleazy mindset.

>>14656121

>Also, I heard that Bohemia is planning to go down the monetised mods path

And thus, another game series dies. Mods are like 90% of the Arma appeal, as with OFP because they make their games so fucking barebones
