Half the gameplay is: walking checking map getting lost hearing ‘CONTACT!’ instantly dying from a guy 900 meters away named Ivan Tried being a pilot once. Accidentally turned a $60 million helicopter into modern art. Installed 87 mods to improve immersion. Now my game takes longer to start than a real military deployment. Still somehow the best military…

This game is truly not for everyone - It takes several hours if not hundreds just to get into all of the controls and understanding of how game works. And also - If you plan to buy it without any DLC - It's not entirely problematic, you have a thousands of mods released by the community on the workshop almost everyday, but for some you definitely have to buy even the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hey kiddo, Handsome Jack here... and I just played Arma 3, and apparently someone looked at military simulators and thought, “You know what this needs? A game where it takes twelve minutes to figure out how to stand up.” Finally. A simulator for real workplace efficiency. You start the game thinking you're an elite soldier. Five minutes later you're lying face-down in a bush because you pressed the wrong button and your character apparently decided that the best response to enemy fire was to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After 4620 hours, i must say this game is hot garbage but not because of what you think... The Game itself is a horrible mess of spaghetti code... However the community has made this game unique, i've been always loud about how Arma decides to run itself how it likes, one day it works fine, next day it won't... That's just the experience of Milsim arma that i had all my time since arma 2... If anyone ask me if i recommend arma to anyone? Yes i would, but i would warn them that arma is a…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →👉 What is Arma 3? 🤔 🏃♂️ Spent an hour running across the map 🏃♂️ 💀 And got killed in one second 💀 This game is too hardcore, too realistic. It's cool, but playing it is painful and tiring. It's suitable for players who have the patience to spend a lot of time learning and have a strong interest in real military simulations. It's not suitable for players who simply enjoy fast-paced shooting. Arma 3 is a true military simulation, a war simulation, definitely not just a few guns…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I got Arma 3 expecting to play solo and shoot some bad guys in KOTH. Somehow, I ended up making friends, joined a community, and spent more time arguing about tactics than actually shooting anything. Started as a lonely solo player and somehow found a bunch of absolute idiots who I now consider friends. We’ve had epic missions, hilarious disasters, accidental teamkills, vehicles exploding for no reason, and at least one person getting lost despite having a GPS. I met people from around…

unlabelledView post →After more than 4,000 hours in Arma 3, I think it's safe to say this game has earned its place as one of my all-time favourites. Arma 3 isn't a game you can judge after a few hours. It's a military sandbox that rewards patience, teamwork and learning. The scale of the battles, the freedom to approach missions in different ways, and the endless amount of community-made content mean there's always something new to experience. For me, the biggest reason to keep coming back is the online team…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A military simulation game so detailed and intricate, I still don’t know more than half the controls.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Probably about time I make a review, I've put nearly 2500 hours into Arma3 and I can say with 100% confidence, I have never played a more fun, funny, entertaining, and adrenaline filled game ever. If you like Milsim, roleplay, sandbox, team death match, king of the hill, and any modded versions of gamemodes, Arma 3 has it and has had it for a loooooooong time. 16 years since release and it still is goated. Of course there is Arma Reforger, I have also played quite a bit of that, it is…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I actualy really like this game, its not for everyone but its very very good. the devs put alot of effort into making it. so then why am i making a negative review? its to tell bohemia interactive that the idea of adding a subscription for all dlcs at 9 dollars a month is not something i want to see in the future.

unlabelledView post →It's a tricky game to get into as a beginner as there are a bunch of keybinds, gamemodes, and mechanics, and it's quite unforgiving. However if you find a good server or a community that caters to what you want out of the game, you get hundreds of hours of fun. Extremely large collection of mods, from guns, vehicles, to entire handcrafted maps. Even for a game over a decade old it still looks pretty good with settings on high, and there's a bunch of realism to it in terms of bullet…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They forced Subscription BS into old game that was already clunky and outdated when it was released. They also slightly increased price of the game in europe and most likely will get less discounts in the future. "You'll own nothing and be "happy""
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't think I've ever played a game with such a strong feeling of "this place is real" (outside maybe Arma 3 at some points). And not just Stalker 2, it's felt like that since the beginning of the series
unlabelledView post →Arma 3 is the kind of game that hands you a rifle, a 300-page field manual you didn’t read, and a radio with 12 channels you don’t understand, then drops you into a hillside where someone 800 meters away already does. The first five minutes: you’re prone in a bush, somehow bleeding, and absolutely certain the enemy is “somewhere over there.” Forty hours later: you’re coordinating CAS, calling grid references like a GPS with trust issues, and side-eying anyone who forgets to check their…

unlabelledView post →I've been playing tactical shooters since SOCOM, so I came into this with certain expectations. I played it almost exclusively on single player, including the DLCs, and it was a blast. The main campaign alone gave me hours of tension, fun, and exploration. The only thing is the orders. The first time I did a mission with a squad was an absolute hell. But then I discovered the SOG AI mod, and honestly, it made a huge difference. Give it a try, if you like the milsim type of game. Just…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My average Arma experience: 1.5 hours of trying to figure out what mods were playing with, figure out how to set up a private server, only to finally give up and use a pre-made public server full of try-hards. .5 hours of getting sniped, shot down before I reach the battlefield, or killed by artillery. It is a great simulation of what it's like to actually be in the army. It's also a reminder to every gamer that the army is not nearly as fun as video games make it out to be and that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pain. Nothing but pain. Ive loved this game since it came out. 13 years ago. This game was nothing but features. Being armaed through a wall due to laggy server. Arma. Being launched into space hitting razor wire. Arma. Randomly combusting b/c you accidentally tapped another vic. Arma. Car randomly exploding/breaking b/c you hit a bush. ARMA.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a PTSD simulator. Was in a helicopter with 10 other people and only me and 2 others survived and the rest were mowed down without mercy. These people that play the game are very good at it and I was hard carried throughout the entire 12 HOUR warlords game. Crashed a helicopter 12 times and got made fun of by my team for 2 hours and won the game at 10:00 at night. Once you start you cant stop. Good luck soldier and see you on the front.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →All 600 something hours I have on this game was in the Eden editor creating massive PC lagging wars. And I will continue this to arma 4.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Badger video comes out, then bohemia is exploiting the influx with a subscription for a game that goes on sale regularly. I knew bohemia is greedy by their other titles but yeah it's a bad look for them exploiting an influx.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Arma 3 is one of those games that quietly redefines what a game can be. It is not designed to impress you immediately, it is designed to immerse you over time. It is slow, deliberate, complex, and sometimes frustrating, but it offers a depth and freedom that almost no other game attempts. Yes, it is glitchy. Yes, you can get hurt by stepping off a small ledge or brushing against a rock the wrong way. The physics can be unforgiving and sometimes unintentionally funny. But none of that really…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Arma 3 is the O.G. by far the best sandbox shooter out, with possibilities as vast as you can create. Any real instance or fabricated you can simulate in this game. Mod support for this game makes it even better including servers that support mods and integrated mod loader. I just played Arma Reforger and I have to say I like Arma 3 better still. Arma 3 is a solid game and would highly recommend for those seeking a shooter sandbox simulator.

Well this is the grown up version with jets, attack helicopters, zombies and realistic-ish physics. I have over 1000hrs in this game and havent played online lol sandbox at its best

I'm leaving this negative review because of the Gold Edition bundle and the monthly subs thing. Game is dead in the SEA Region by the way, dont expect good multiplayer.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nothing is going to beat this game in terms of combination of realism , tactics, strategy, modding capabilities any time soon. Maybe one day only arma 4 will be able to beat it. Nothing really comes close. Artillery engages 20+ km away, 3+ km sniping, close quarter battles, jets, drones, tanks, launchers, designators - this game ahas its all and much more than that From the downside the learning curve is pretty steep, it's not the game that you just download and go shoot, bootcamp and some…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not all for going the EA route with passes... Makes me fear microtransaction hell coming to Arma 4.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if you are considering getting reforger or already, get this game. its a more polished and overall better game. Its carried by modding but still amazing to play
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's good except the fact that you have to download a gazillion mods for 2 days straight
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While the game didn't meet my personal expectations, this is a great game. While I personally did not enjoy the game as much as expected due to reasons I will soon explain, I can 100% see why people have thousands of hours on this game. Now, I will state the pros and cons of this game from my perspective. Pros: The Eden sandbox system, which at least for me, was relatively intuitive and very fun to mess with, but requires a strange order of steps to get the ai to function. The gameplay,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has everything a military nerd needs to feel like they are in the battle be it WWII, or modern day it has you covered. Best part about this old ass game is that the news still occasionally uses footage from in game as news images by mistake and that just makes me super rock hard and ready to roll. Love SOG DLC its the best Vietnam game on the planet. 9/10 only because Arma III is Arma III and occasional glitches and insane wtf moments happen.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Almost 300 hours on this game, barely touch the multiplayer server. I always stay at my editor, set up Zeus, and having fun with the AI. I just love this game and it's community workshop.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am home now, so time for my VTuber Introduction, Hello there I am Harrow Krodarius, A Warhammer Vtuber. My main game is ARMA 3 (unless F1 interferes), but I primarily play warhammer related content, and when I am in the mood, I play different things as wel.
unlabelledView post →I'm still new to ARMA so I haven't explored everything; but what's here and the communities you can find (mainly on ARMA 3 unit subreddit or the like) makes this the best game in my library. Don't get me started on the mods. Trying to summarise them is like trying to summarise every atom in the milky way.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Arma 3 is a janky mess to this day and its still one of the best milsim shooters out there. mod it until it breaks, drop into a community server and wrestle with sweats for several hours, turn it into fallout new vegas, it doesn't matter just have fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah, I'm looking at trying out Arma 3. The base game is currently $2.99 USD on Steam and the amount of content that you get thanks to mods is massive.
unlabelledView post →Awesome sandbox game with ways to play for lower end PCs as well. You aren't going to be able to do some mods, host multiplayer, or possibly even play multiplayer, but singleplayer has a ton to offer with dynamic missions offering endless replayability.
