… the Armed Assault and Flashpoint communities aren’t interested in competition. They’re interested in the pursuit of virtual war. These titles are very much simulation, and the communities’ attitude demonstrate that fact. “There’s often a need for hierarchy,” says my contact, a dedicated Flashpoint and Armed Assault player who has relayed tales of online military actions to me many times over the years. “Many of the guys in here have been in the army, or want a militaristic experience. Most gamers find it quite a dry experience.”
