Honestly... Cold war arma was done, and we have Reforger for which they could easily just develop missions and a campaign if they wanted to.

Arma 3 with it's near future setting is a hit and miss for me. They really overestimated the capabilities of Eastern powers (especially Iran), really underestimated the importance of drones, and really overestimated the procurement changes (with the US for some reason acquiring Merkava tanks, and reintroducing the A10 Thunderbolt as the "A-164 wipeout" for some reason...

They really missed the mark, drone warfare has really become the bane of any fun tactical squad playing.

I would highly recommend a theoretical Armaverse "Syria" (they could rename it to anything else) incursion circa 2013 or such. This is a year when scout drones were still still there, where the tech is still pretty advanced, but drones aren't nearly as ubiqutuos as they are in our current year.

A soft reboot, with the likes of Russian forces intervening on the side of loyalist government while NATO intervening on the side of rebels would make for plenty of asymmetric fighting while keeping the conventional stuff adjusted for what we know in tech and experiences from early Ukraine/Iraq etc.

I always found it weird. I thought M4 was just a thing in the early 2003-2004 invasion, when the draw down happened - everyone on combat or patrol duty just grabbed an M4A1 by then.

Was it truly rare to have a full auto M4A1 in 2008 and the majority of troops on patrol (excluding SOF, Rangers etc.) issued the burst M4?

Many of the reports i read are funky, since they conflate the M4A1 to just basic "M4", and i just find it weird, because i always assumed burst M4's literally went out of style in the early 2000's.

I tried to copy the message (pressed the "copy link" next to the message) and put it in the report form but it doesn't recognize it as valid.

What can i even do?

So... i was rewatching the original episodes of the show while doing work for nostalgia sake, and i noticed how EXTREMELY flanderized the mayor has become in later seasons.

Like... he was an eccentric old man, a bit incompetent, but otherwise well meaning, even stern sometimes (like the Dynamo episode) but now i'm at the "Night Mayor" episode and he just...

well, he's literally a man child who has a bad dream and takes his blankie while sucking his thumb to the professor to ask for help. For a moment i thought he was about to ask to sleep in his bed ffs.

Then his entire dream is about pickles, the literal definition of fladerization - taking a trait the character had to the extreme and forgetting everything else about him

What happened to the writing of the show in the later seasons? To be fair i didn't really watch the later ones when they came out, but now i realize why the show was cancelled.

Will this ever get a single player campaign released? Or maybe even a remake of the original OFP + Hammer and Sickle campaign remakes?

I REALLY want to play single player Arma Reforger, but i can't... the missions they DID release are basically Coop campaigns and are incredibly hard to almost unplayable alone.
