Vote for Game to Play on Mondays or Tuesdays

Please see the poll below and VOTE for your preferred game. We will play this game as a group on that either Monday or Tuesday night depending on the outcome of the game night poll. This poll will be up for seven days. I tried to include all the games mentioned in the previous thread. You may only make ONE choice, and so you should choose wisely.

I would happily play several of those games.

Il2 or GR are both fine by me.

There should be a DCS option for those who still want to play it on Mondays/Tuesdays.

I’m not sure if I get the attraction to ARMA 3 yet.. I dropped for the training mission the other day and to me... this looks and feels much like Ghost Recon. Old school.


That said , I believe Titanfall 2 blows ARMA 3 away in the eye candy department. This game is a trip! Yesterday I was on mission 5 in a research facility where was time warping back and forth from the past to the present - in order to get further ahead in the mission, while fighting off alien raptors , exploding droids that creep up on me , zombie combat robots and die hard enemy soldiers who have a have a hard on for me. This game is totally like a mix between Call of Duty and Half Life - and I’m diggin it! ツ

Same here but since I could only pick one I picked GR Breakpoint.

I voted for ARMA3. GR would have been my first choice but with the limit on coop 4 players that may be an issue for us (?) I do like that we wouldn't have to deal with any mission editors...lol.

I think Zero Hour would have the same issue. 4 players but a great game.

I played a round of ARMA last night and it was only 4 of us and we did alright. We could try a Liberation Campaign? or I can search for a few smaller missions to see if this would work for us?

I'm not to interested in the Sci-fi kind of stuff and if Im going to spend my time flying and its only once a week (flight games) my preference would be DCS over IL2.

This Monday/Tuesday session will be in addition to our DCS Wednesday night sessions. Nothing is changing with DCS on Wednesdays.

DCS was not included because the premise of this discussion was to get away from DCS on Mondays. So, the assumption here, I think, is folks are a little burned out and looking for something different one of our two nights. Personally, I find myself wanting to do something a little different myself, but I have almost one foot out the door entirely as of late because I’ve been obsessed with my other hobby (backpacking) and my new school schedule is running me into the ground a bit. I also could only provide eight options in the poll.

Ah yes but there is also that Mondays were used for training rather than Wed that were mission nights. That's why I mentioned there should still be that option.

I understand your meaning, but the premise of the question was originally to change DCS on Monday nights to a different game and hence its absence from the list of options. If anyone else would like to keep DCS on Monday night and NOT change the game, then they are certainly welcome to leave a message here to that effect. I take it that you, Bones, would prefer to leave Mondays (or Tuesday's should we change the night) as DCS training nights. Correct?

Another thought: We leave Monday nights as DCS training nights. We use Tuesday nights as another game night. Wednesday night is DCS mission night. Of course, this schedule would depend on how much interest there is in playing something as a group on Tuesday nights. In the interest of full disclosure, and I'm just speaking for myself personally, should we keep DCS training on Monday nights, I'm likely going to take a break from it and just show up on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the time being. However, and again to be clear, that's not forever. I'm sure I'll eventually get the hankering to return to training, but right now I just need a little bit of a break.

you may just be stating the obvious there since the poll shows Tue as a good group gaming night, as you stated. for training, folks could still do that on Monday night, again as you stated. seems like it is just turning out that way.

Yes, I originally made this supposition before seeing the other poll results to date. Still, I think it is a point worth putting g in bold relief.

This totally works fine for me.

Sorry that line was under the assumption (Monday) or Tuesday would end up being something other than flying....
