Have a look at the Steam best sellers list, ever wondered why a 3 year old game ARMA 2 has been top of the charts for the last 2 months?, its not on sale, its because of a very special MOD DayZ which is taking the internet by storm... DayZ trailers and how to setup guide, plus more..
This article is about the interview that took place at E3 about DayZ Standalone, a little teaser at what we are to expect from the new release. New emerging details has been released on DayZ Buzz, The "News Media Outlet" for the DayZ Community.
DSOGaming writes: "Bohemia must feel really great with ArmA 3′s success. Despite the fact that the game is still in alpha stage, ArmA 3′s users are already more than those of all previous ArmA games combined."
Yeah.
DayZ probably did a lot to boost the visibility of Arma games in general which hopefully introduced the main game to a lot of new players.
Yup, I always knew about ARMA and then DayZ got popular and always wanted to play it. Then this came out and I watch videos on it and fell in love with the simulation aspect of the game (it's very different from Call of Duty or Battlefield - your typical modern shooters). So far it's an awesome game with an awesome developer and community behind it.
The game is absolutely AMAZING for an Alpha I bought the 10 copies for my family & friends and we're having a blast on my private server!
Bohemia's sales strategy is a smart one, no gimmicks. They just allow their community to help out the development of the game! There are already tons of mods and addons for the Alpha, it's mind boggling!
The ArmA series is lucky enough to have one of the best communities to deal with on the internet. Most people you run into are very mature & overall positive. It's very refreshing!
I don't know what that chart is! maybe it's Alpha Users.
Arma 2 sales are in the millions. Arma 3 Alpha seems to be doing well, servers are PACKED and it's Number 1 on Steam!
Arma is just getting more and more popular, YES Day Z helped but even without DayZ Takistan Life, Chernarus Life are still great mods plus Arma just offers realistic combat in a open world something no other game is doing with such realism.
I quite enjoy the Beta so far, very fun.
Too bad my video card burned out, hopefully not because I was playing ArmA3 haha, although it is very likely as the game is pretty demanding on the hard-wear.
Friend gave it to me on steam, awesome game hopefully
PS4 Release in the future.
No way.. a console release for a game like this would be terrible.. it wouldn't even be the same. This game is a sandbox with tons of mods and community driven content. Sony and Microsoft would have none of that unfortunately as it is their platform and they have the final word. This is one of the great things about the PC platform in my opinion - I do game on and enjoy every platform, so this isn't one of those biased "PC Elitist" comments.
It simply won't work on consoles, the game is a nitch game on PC, console population would hate something so complex and slow pace. Not even kidding here.
Mods on Monday is back for another week. This week, Arma II's mod, Wasteland, a sandbox style gamemode is featured for this week. The idea is to scavenge for your weapons and gear via vehicles as well as take down objectives that appear on the map, taking them for your team. Along with that, the ability to build your own bases by taking the resources you need from the places around you.
Suggestions for more mods to look into are welcomed.
very unforgiving game, you really need some friends to survive
