DAT SCALE! Altis Preview

Given the limitations, I personally would recommend a different type of mission to be used on Altis. Domination type missions where we cooperate to clear a zone, or insurgency type missions where we can search for weapon caches in areas defined by the intelligence we get, or even king of the hill type missions. Actually, I kinda wish TPG was hosting an Invade and Annex mission on Stratis as well. Cooperation with combined arms and large group assaults are where ARMA shines.

It is obvious to me that many are getting burnt out on Stratis.

Yeah I'm a little concerned that it'll turn into a game of Marco Polo, though hopefully it'll further emphasize the value of playing as a team and setting up a main operation base.

I spent like 5 consecutive hours on a private hosted server last night just to get better at piloting. As it looks like it will be well needed for Altis.

On an off note an air battle with 5 Pawnee (Armed Littlebirds) going at it is a blast. We started out not getting anywhere close to hitting each other and by the end, there was people getting shot down all the time. Putting a DAGR into an enemy's cockpit was satisfying.

Yeah I still haven't forgiven you for that.

I Would love to see a large AI presence. For instance Wasteland has BlueFor, RedFor, and Green (Indie). I think adding a YellowFor that was AI might be an interesting step. You still have PvP taking place but with the added monkey wrench of AI to work around too.

Not over powering amounts just something to take up the space with.
