I was reading the BIS forums the other night and quite a few posts amused me. Then I thought, why not join the action and buy a copy of ArmA? Although I'd probably be joining the ranks of the cheaters, I do have a few questions before I buy this game:
1. Sometimes, I would actually like to play a legitimate round without hacking or any rubbish like that. Tell me, how prevalent is hacking the game? Common, not so common, etc? Naturally, playing legit has its strengths sometimes.
2. How easy is it to code your own cheat scripts in ArmA? I do have a bit of Visual Basic 2005 experience and I would also like to code my own scripts, if and when it comes to using the SCP.
3. How long is the single player?
4. How realistic is it? I've played RO, but RO seemed to me like an average multiplayer shooter without crosshairs and with a more realistic approach when it comes to reloading weapons and such. Not bad, actually.
ArmA personally doesn't seem as though it is worth 40 dollars to me, but if it's total lulz with cheat scripts, then I am in.
I seriously think that cheating groups like TKC actually help companies like BIS by boosting sales by attracting potential buyers with "enhanced multiplayer features" who are "on the fence", so to speak. Personally speaking, I am somewhat on the edge of buying this game, largely for its multiplayer and mission maker aspects.
And naturally, the anti-cheaters always keep me entertained.
