BIS's studio in Bratislava is no more. Management decided to shut down the studio after all leads and seniors resigned and left. Rest employees were fired. My friend who worked there told me that most of the developers joined David Durcak at the newly formed THQ studio in Bratislava, Nine Rocks Games.
A recent Glassdoor review also confirms this and indicates Bratislava might not be the last one to be shut down
>DayZ I'm still mad I bought into the standalone after enjoying the original mod so much. What a heap of shit
Jeremiah Sanchez
who gives a shit?

Thomas Sanders
>6 YEARS IN EARLY ACCESS OHNONONONONO
Easton Brown

BiS is a highly incompetent studio because they can't make wargaming fun. This genre has all the staples of fast aim and big terrain that made BRs so popular, but BiS is too hesitant to innovate to come up with interesting takes on the genre. They need to realize that the gaming community looks to them as industry titans for innovation. They shouldn't be rereleasing a paid version of a free mod that has been superseded by more fun BRs, or rereleasing their milsim title but with imaginary technology or a competitive 5v5 mode. No one wants what they are making. Because of their ARMA clout they still have massive potential if they just come up with a good game to sell it with.
Matthew Reed
half the promised features still aren't implemented and the game is still an unplayable mess, tell me again how this is legal?
Jack James
It wasn't obvious it was dead when they paid streamers thousands of dollars to play their unfinished shit game?
Landon Rivera
Well yeah it took them 6 years to put out an absolute piece of shit, their incompetence isn't surprising.
Good Bohemia have made nothing but shit since arma 3 anyway
Andrew Sanders
even arma 3 was worse then 2 in ever way except graphically
Brandon Hernandez
ARMA 3 has a coop mission editor.
Jace Johnson
is anyone here aware of DZA3? the original vanilla dayz mod in the arma 3 engine. please play it and revive the game. screw the standalone and its steps backwards.
Gabriel Moore
>even arma 3 was worse then 2 in ever way except graphically Honestly I haven't liked their games since arma 2 3 was a step back and felt worse than arma and ofp They haven't done shit for decade while the milsim genre rots with shit like squad which is somehow even worse
John Nguyen
good FUCK YOU AND FUCK REDDIT AND YOUR SURVIVAL SHIT
Squad is horrid because it tries to turn milsim into a competitive game. If you want a decent milsim experience, play BFV. The game is all about teamwork and map control with pretty massive engagement ranges. Squad doesn't work because it's a game all about grand strategy where you're playing with incompetent buffoons. It's like playing PVP in Arma: it only really works when the two teams know what they're doing. Otherwise you end up running around cluelessly waiting to get popped by a sniper.
if i was a billionaire i would sue these scum bags

if they hadn't decided to develop an entire new fucking engine halfway through development it would have been way better. for the first few months in early access they were continually adding new content and releasing updates, but then they stopped adding FUCKING ANYTHING for years to finish the engine instead, and when the new engine was released only a SMALL PORTION of the content that was in older versions was ported over. fuck it, we all know the old engine was bad but they should have just stuck with it.
the opposite side of the early access is rust, garry straight up ripped off dayz when he started it but they actually kept improving it continually over time and the game has more players than ever (125k on steam the other day).
Xavier Edwards
So is ArmA 3 dead?
Julian Morris
Squad is horrible because it pretends to be milsim allthough it plays like a Battlefield with slower animations.
Angel Wright
Was that jankfest ever alive?
Josiah Long
why isn't Yas Forums laughing at this tortanic? I expected this thread to have blown up with people saying stuff like >post yfw you didnt fall for LayZ
Jacob Torres
they got the money they wanted and didn't give a single shit i'm convinced the only reason they did work on the engine was so they could use it in other projects. For years at a time the only update they would do is adding a new town and a new gun which they would then remove the next update remember when they did a Christmas update and then didn't remove the Christmas trees or presents for nearly 2 years.
Matthew Evans
I wouldn't recommend Squad to anyone. It's like Insurgency or RO2 but even worse: a casual shooter with hardcore mechanics. You have to one man army in the game because the format of the game is not conducive to teamwork, but you are extremely weak, so you end up feeling lost at sea.
BFV is the polar opposite. It has easy gunplay but the gamemode necessitates and indeed IMPLEMENTS constant teamwork. The game is all about holding angles while pushing as a team.
The holiest of holies would be a hardcore, teamwork orientated experience, but that's probably restricted to milsim groups playing custom missions on ARMA for the time being.
U mad aimlets?
Nathaniel Adams
Holy shit, please leave.
