Dynamic combat, massive islands, and editing features – it was all there. “The best thing about Arma 3 Zeus is how naturally it fits within the game. On top of the diverse range of official Zeus scenarios that will be available, Arma 3 Zeus can also be implemented into player-created multiplayer scenarios. Here, Game Masters are entirely free to create objectives, spawn units, and steer players across Arma 3’s massive Altis and Stratis terrains. The most distinctive game type in Arma 3 Zeus, however, is ‘Zeus Game Master’. The Zeus multiplayer concept works across all familiar multiplayer game types, such as Team Deathmatch and Sector Control, where players can either work with or go up against Zeus. Sure this is likely set to be subject to some level of trolling, but it’ll be interesting how the developers allow you to control and how quickly you can change the battle dynamics when you’re in the big seat. The idea of having a battlefield that really will unfold depending on the whim of the human controlling it sounds stunning and you can’t beat that human element with AI, at least not yet. The result is incredibly dynamic, unscripted combat gameplay – and multiplayer sessions which are filled with unexpected, challenging, and creative events. Watching the battlefield from a bird’s-eye view, wielding an intuitive real-time editor, Zeus can create, manipulate or expand mission content to generate new stories and a flow of challenges.
Inspired by popular tabletop games such as ‘Dungeons & Dragons’, a limited number of players can assume the role of Game Master, and influence the multiplayer experience of those with boots on the ground. Improvisation is the ultimate key to success in Arma 3 Zeus. This new mode looks set to really change the pace of play for online gaming and I wouldn’t have expected anything less from the developer that brought us Arma 3 and Day-Z. Bohemia Interactive have announce that their first planned DLC for Arma 3: Arma 3 Zeus, will be made available in the second quarter of this year, the free Zeus DLC delivers a new form of multiplayer in which players can take on the role of Game Master and curate the online battles of other players.
