Arma 3 has been on my list of games to get for a long time, my only disappointment is that I waited so long to get it. This is one of the best games I have played in 2015. I can’t wait for some campaign based DLC.

Pros
  • Amazing graphics. Seriously this is one of the best looking games I have ever played. It looks so real. The detail is amazing.
  • Controls are so much better than Arma 2 controls. It’s a big improvement.
  • The game is very stable, not once did the game crash
  • No bugged missions, at least for me. AI is also much better.
  • Good value for money. The main campaign was 20 hours long for me. That’s not even considering the workshop missions and multiplayer servers.
  • The game is really fun and not very frustrating. Dying just encourages me to try a different strategy.
  • The story and campaign is fun. I love how the last mission can end with you simply dying. Great ending. I of course replayed it.
  • Good save system.

Cons (really more of a constructive criticism dialogue)
  • While the AI is much better, my teammates also seemed much less capable than they were in Arma 2.
  • Too much wildlife. Arma 3 has bunny rabbits everywhere, and unlike real life you can just walk right up to them. Same with snakes. It would have been better to not include them at all.
  • Sometimes the enemy flinch when you hit them is just awkward and dumb looking.
  • The clouds can do this weird shifting motion when you are driving a vehicle fast. Hard to describe but it looks really odd.
  • The story doesn’t feel very realistic, whereas the story in Arma 2 at least felt plausible. Still it is a fun story.
  • For me, there wasn’t enough weapon variety in the main campaign.
  • Waypoint markers can be way too faint. There are some limited options to improve them.
  • Playing night missions is still a drag. I hate looking through that green night vision for an entire mission.
  • I preferred the longer missions in Arma 2.
