Title is inaccurate, it was not released as open source software, it was released as Free software. This shit’s GPL3!
BI has always been a great developer, its awesome to see them do this
They fucked around with DayZ pretty good.
- Glacial progress for a long, long time.
- Releasing the Livonia DLC for a half-made game. That pissed me off real nice. (And I’m a guy who bought the Supporter Edition of Arma 3)
To be fair, they have acted well since then. So my hackles have settled down.
Wait what’s wrong with Contact? I absolutely loved that campaign and Livonia is by far my favorite 2035 map after Malden
Contact was fine. And fun! Specifically the DayZ side was a bit sketchy.
I played this a handful of years back, and I was surprised by how well it holds up. In other areas, it super doesn’t hold up. It’s got all of the presentation you’d expect from a modern action game with all of the jank that came along with ancient PC games, and it was charming for it. One song during a scene transition came off as anachronistic, and it’s because it was! They had to change out a few of the songs due to licenses expiring, and the song they picked as a replacement postdated the game’s original release, which was super jarring in a fun way I’d never experienced before.
