Arma 4 will release in 2027

This is good news and between Operation Harsh Doorstop/other unreal engine games in the pipeline with modding support and arma reforger/arma 4 we are finally leaving the era of stagnant big map shooter design where modding options were basically the source engine or sticking to the ancient and abandoned bf2 engine.

Will performance be prioritized in development though? Given bohemias track record I doubt it, and it really heavily limits the potential of their games compared to a game like Easy Red 2 or Operation Harsh Doorstop that can easily simulate large battles on even a mediocre gaming computer with humans and tons of ai.

I doubt arma 4 will ship out of the box with half the gunplay polish OHD or Easy Red 2 already has and again performance will probably be atrocious for the equivalant experience.

Then again Dayz actually has pretty great low end performance, so I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

I don't mean to be negative tho this is definitely good news!
