Hi everyone, I’ve spent more than 2800 hours on the Battlefield series (1942, 2, Bad Company 2, 3 & 4) and really enjoy it. I liked COD 4 and World at War a lot, but lost interest after those releases. I’ve heard ARMA 3 is a solid simulation, though I’m curious if it’s too tactical for my style. I love being able to jump into a game for 20 minutes or run a marathon over four hours. What’s the learning curve like in ARMA 3? Thanks for any thoughts!
I don't really like Arma because of the bugs, performance problems, and other issues. It's still seen as beta. I think it's much more challenging than most games, so keep that in mind. If you manage to get it for around ten dollars, it wouldn't cost a lot to try it out.
I just began playing ARMA III and it's performing well so far. The learning curve isn't too steep, though you'll likely face many challenges. Be careful—every attempt matters, and mistakes are common. The game doesn<|pad|> to focus on realistic combat where every shot counts, including yours. Pricing isn't specified here, but if it's around $20, I'd consider giving it a try.
It's usually $66 CAD but it's currently half off, which means $33 CAD on Steam.
I'll review the videos on Monday and continue my research. Appreciate your feedback!
Arma functions more as a framework than a complete game on its own. I've been engaging with the series from Operation Flashpoint through Arma 1, 2, and now 3. At its foundation it aims to be a large-scale military simulation, but the actual experience depends on the mission scripts created by developers. This explains the wide range of missions and mods available. If you have scripting abilities, Arma can accommodate them. However, this adaptability also introduces bugs and unique features that players discuss. It can serve as a military simulation, a racing experience, a life simulator (like Altis Life), a zombie survival scenario (DayZ), or even a PVP, co-op, or TVT setting. The main constraint is the player's imagination and coding expertise. Many people use the built-in editor, now featuring full 3D world placement, to craft small scenarios and observe intense battles between tanks or planes. Ultimately, the way you choose to play defines the game's impact. If you're drawn to tactical military gameplay, joining a community that values strategy and teamwork will enhance your experience.
You're seeking quick, casual deathmatch experiences on open Arma servers, but unfortunately this isn't a common feature there. Since Arma 1, players have mostly focused on big, long-lasting missions—either cooperative against AI or more like PVP games such as DayZ or Wasteland (DayZ features zombies). While there are solid team-oriented titles, they're typically only available on private servers, so joining a group is usually necessary. If you prefer tactical gameplay that fits standard FPS styles, I recommend Squad or Project Reality Mod. Project Reality is free now and doesn't need the original Battlefield 2, while Squad is essentially Project Reality 2 but still in early access.
This marks a major shift in warfare—truly a game changer. My top pick for WWII shooters is War of the Worlds, but then they moved to futuristic settings! If this trend continues, they’ll hit Halo-level innovation soon. I enjoyed the Vietnam-era Blops game, but it’s clearly losing steam (sales are there, but growth is slowing). They should just drop a War of the West 2 and bring us joy. I don’t mind historical details anymore—let’s invent a fictional conflict from the 1920s to 1940s! It reflects what they’ve done with all these modern and futuristic releases.
