The BI devs abandoned thinking when they decided to add console support to an Arma game. The technical limitations this has imposed on the game is dramatic enough to prevent any practical improvements from A3. We now have smaller maps, worse performance, smaller mods, useless AI, and the servers crash every 15 minutes. Only genuine improvement is how the game handles environment lighting and LODs.

On a more subjective note, this game before console support was added played like one of those milsim servers you had to sign up for in A3, but without any of that sign up bullshit. It was great team play, good communication, actual strategy, proper PID. After console support the community absolutely collapsed. At first I figured it was just a matter of the console players being new to the game, but not anymore. Console players are genuinely a leech on this game. They cannot communicate, they cannot strategize, they cannot PID, they have no critical thinking skills, and their chosen hardware makes the game worse for everyone else.

If BI wants A4 to achieve the goal of being the next-gen A3 then they have to abandon Crossplay and make a separate, more stripped version of the game for console.

broke console players will downvote you but they have no idea how bad the game is on console

PC players farm console players like it was nothing

Literally but they don’t want to hear that lol A4 has to live up to A3 not reforger. I agree A4 needs to be PC only to live up to its predecessor.

Holy you are living in a bubble🤦🏻‍♂️, everything you named I’ve seen console player’s do and PC player’s do. If anything you got PC players DDoS servers for being salty living on one server trying to push people off another, I’ve legit been in lobby’s where only the console players are giving proper coms. I can also say the opposite like how some days PC player’s are the only ones giving proper coms, almost just depends on how that “person” wants to play that day🤯. sometimes I want to give coms and callout positions/locations, and sometimes I don’t want to deal with people and there yapping so I do my own thing.

long wall of text just say you're broke and playing on inferior tech

just bought the 55in G5 about to take it back and grab the Z8BA 77in wouldn’t say I’m broke. I simply just want the devs to optimize the PS5 PRO/any console so it can actually use its hardware to its full potential, but hey I guess I’m broke for asking that🤣.

The DDOS is mostly the russians, its very well documented.

On a more subjective note aint nobody reading that.
