GET IN THE LOVELY SEA

I think you're a fucking moron.

Maybe further down the line. I still don't really agree with it. Much better for the dev to work on the base features of the game and leave as much as possible to the server owners to customise their own shit.

Again you're assuming A) The mod makers will just allow you to incorporate their hardwork for nothing? and B) people want to download 3-4Gb every update.

How is it outrageous, Arma 2 had the same model with the expansions. Granted you got a bit more content in SP missions but you got a lot free with the DLC updates as well.

I like this. Some quality of life features Exile introduced are actually pretty detrimental to game-play. It was such an epic feeling killing someone and finding a briefcase on them. Makes killing a little less mindless and also transporting money that much more intense. In a similar vein I also miss vehicle keys, for all their annoyances, being able to take someone elses car in open combat and own it yourself after was a great feeling.

Its not as easy as just combing everything. You need the individual developers permission etc. Also when updates are released for exile its more hassle to download MAS/RHS whatever every single update. The main ethos of the developers is to keep Exile as a platform for server owners to build off. Adding all the mods you speak of. On a side-note/plug you should check out sp4r.com, its the closest to an Arma2 server in Arma3 ive seen. Really great server.

Horrible idea IMO.

Should have bought the DLC when it was recently on sale. Well worth it at that price.

Are you talking about ChernoPlus? If so you cant legally use that map in Arma 3.
