Pardon my ignorance, but isn't ARMA 3 set, like, now? Technology and militarization of the next few years? Why is he referring to it as 'sci-fi'? Is he just that deluded and trying to distort the actual historical scope of the game or does it genuinely introduce absurd technology?

I wasn't under the impression it wasn't Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter-style 'here are some military projects that are currently blue-sky thinking concepts at this point, so we set the game a few years in the future so we could overlook that'.

The setting of ArmA3 is basically 5-10 years in the future. No lasers, ray guns, teleportation etc. - Simply a logical extrapolation of today's technology, and tomorrow's possibilities.

I assumed that. I just mean, it's not like active camo from Ghost Recon or poo poo like that. It's just 'here's the slightly better equipment we might be using', right?

I thought as much. What a bizzare thing to get indignant about.
