yeah the same thing happened down here to "milsim" when folks were really pushing it about a year and a half ago....within a few games it degenerated to people spending forum time and worse,paid game time, arguing over what was milsim,how others weren't milsim or milsim enough,how people weren't doing their "roles",and how the rules worked or didn't work.....eventually the milsim thing just kind of fell apart because no one could get behind a ruleset.
personally.....if you want milsim....go out with your friends drinking until 3..get home at 4...get up at 5....put on 70-80 lbs of gear and walk 15 miles....dig a hole... get in ....15 mins later,in the middle of eating, get out of the hole and walk,with gear, another 5 miles and dig another hole and get in...now it rains and fills the hole half full of water and mud...try to sleep in it...wake up at 12 and try and stay awake for 4 hours while imagining someone is out there trying to kill you...at 4 try to sleep again till 5..get out of the hole,with gear and walk another 10-15 miles....repeat process for weeks...interspersed with random explosions, ieds,snipers,etc.
sound fun?
