I know what hyperbole means. I'm not sure how it applies to what you actually said. Hyperbole is used to grossly exaggerate something, either positively or negatively. Saying that ArmA is no more realistic than CoD or BF isn't a gross exaggeration. It's not even an exaggeration. It's just an inaccurate claim. Saying that CoD or BF are completely realistic combat simulations and the best games ever made is hyperbole.

If you enjoy ArmA, that's fine, but don't for a second try to convince yourself that it is a realistic simulator. It is no more realistic than CoD or BF.

That's a bit of a stretch. ArmA may not be completely realistic but it's definitely more realistic than CoD or BF. For example, in real-life, if you get shot, hiding for a few seconds won't magically remove the bullet and heal the wound. Those things happen in CoD/BF but not in ArmA.

Listen, military or not. It's based of an epic mil sim VBS2, and I can only say the missions being unrealistic should be minor compared to the fact that you can design your own engagements, play with friends, and even engage enemies at believable distances.

Play Call of Duty and your in a michael bay movie. fuck that.

or

Play ARMA 2 ( with the right custom mission online with other mil vets ), and you have an absolutely wonderful experience. Esp when the vet's designed the levels themselves.

Don't eat the frosting of the cake and decide the insides not for you.

The talents have been cookie cutter since release. The first year or so there was leeway, but that was primarily because no one knew wtf they were doing.

Hardly. Up until Wrath, most dps and healer classes were using dual tree builds. Even in TBC, classes were doing split tree builds. The problem as it stands now is there is no breathing room in what you do. You *must* fill a tree. You must go this route, you must do this. Yeah...lot of people didn't like that.

. WoW is 6 years old, you're going to see some drop-off in subscribers.

It's not so much the age, but the fact that they screwed talents so badly that everyone is cookiecutter, and the content is mediocre.

It's amazing how he talks about... something without actually ever saying why there is no deathmatch mode.

We've done competitive multiplayer before. We've had some successes; we've had some failures. But we wanted to stick to our guns and say Rage is something different.

Man I wish I'd grown up in the arcades. Nintendo was fun and all, but I'd have liked to, you know, "get out there" and blow piles of quarters.

The hardware is fine, it's the drivers that suck.

CCC got a big rewrite finally but unfortunately the UI is still terrible. The Nvidia cpanel isn't much better but is more logically laid out at least. What specific problems are you encountering? How do the drivers suck exactly?

Great. The driver install caused a blue screen, my first ever on WIn7.

Sick of this shit, I'm switching back to Nvidia next generation.

Something wrong with your graphics card maybe, like a hardware problem.

The Xbox sucked in the RAM department though. Consoles always skimp on the RAM, it's ridiculous.
