I've been playing the last Test version of Project zomboid for a couple of days (RC 2.9)

That's fuckin mind blowing, it's like the zombie rpg I've been waiting for for ages <3
Sorry Snake about ARMA II, but server was full for hours or so. I've waited an hour and a half then left.
Problem with ARMA is that, first you wait an hour or so to join a mission, then you wait for half an hour for 'smart' fucks to explain what do you need to do (and in most cases its a mission I've already played 10 times or so, so I'm hearing same shit over and over again), then you enter a game and for another 15-20 min nothing is happening as everybody is setting up, then you either die right after you get to mission location or you die a bit later or you survive (its a 50-50 chance).
So, when you look at it, real time spent in game is like 20+ (+ is a time of your lifespan, it could be 1 min, or 5 min, or it could be longer) min per mission, and the rest is a time lost on preparations and waiting. Lately, I really can't lose that much time in waiting for something to happen or listen to 'brass'. I need a quick game for relaxation: you enter, you play, you leave. End of story.
Lingering in TS or briefings for hours is not my way of having fun.

That's what killing a game for me.

And I won't even talk about missions that last for 45 minutes where I never shot one bullet. Just marched around and slept in bushes. Like camping, but with army. When you wait for something like that 30 min you feel a bit pissed. Maybe I'm a COD guy, idk... I just want to shoot something, get some adrenalin, then leave. Tactics and stuff are ok, but not when in 30 min of play all the game is offering is a nice view on a countryside and ''go there, get back'' orders.

You don't like the extra "simulation" in the "simulation war games" compared to the normal "war games". And I do agree somewhat, and having said this I have to ask snake: Why do you not enlist? Because of russia being russia?
Now doing recoloring for people not in the clan as-well, PM for more info!

Well, I can't help it. Lack of free time is forcing me toward 'casual gaming', if I wish to play games anyway. It's not the same when you can hoop in some server and play instantly and when you sit waiting for something to happen in next hour or so...

Prolong working hours + regular life obligations = very little time for wasting

Get to work on 6 in the morning, coming home at 15 h, lunch and rest, clean behind you, go to store, pay bills, someone needs a drive somewhere, go finish some chores, and when you finally get time for yourself you are either tired as fuck or a zombie. Brain isn't for compromises at that state, so i just look for 'quick fix'. Either some YouTube watching, quick glances through forum + some quick game or sleep. Later prepare for another day of high-paid slavery and that's it.
Facts of life. I'm not hyped 16-17 year old full of energy. That time has passed.

well, i get back from work at 6pm, eat and then relax at arma or listen music and go sleep. idk to be honest, after organized teamwork at UO i don't really want to play any other games, even if i can get more fun there. it's just about quality of gameplay and overall atmosphere. sometimes it's boring, sometimes it's tense, but there are no other games where you can get more or less same experience and organisation level, except getting in real combat. so for me it's quality over quantity. i can play only one or two missions on evening but it totally worth it, unless i end up shot in couple first minutes ;) then i just alt tab and watch stuff on yt / listen music untill mission is over and if i still got time i go for another one. or just play another game while waiting ;)
Alt+TAB? No way, every time I do that with ARMA everything gets fucked up. Sometime it works, but most of the time my whole computer freezes, or ARMA crash.
