I remember they shut down the servers a few years ago. IIRC AA was a bit more realistic than COD, but not as realistic as ARMA, an entire genre that basically doesn’t exist anymore.
ARMA on the other hand is probably both a much better recruitment tool and much worse—like a real ARMA-head would probably be the ideal grunt but most people bounce right the fuck off those games cause they’re boring as shit
George Wiedman of Super Bunnyhop put forth that arma is the only anti war war game because of the realistic part of walk 30 minutes somewhere and then get shot dead by a guy you never saw. It’s a very unglorious experience
i completely agree but those guys who organize those massive multiplayer battles, complete with tactical planning and coordination? i feel like a lot of them are former & prospective soldiers
