    Absolutely laughable optimization. The game is a joke. There are mil sims games made in 2004 with way better optimization and tons of features A3 simply doesn't have. You can't even knife someone. The problem is, the developers are only in it for the money it seems...they say, we're working on it, but no one stops and admits, the engine the gane is sitting on is 1o **** years old andAbsolutely laughable optimization.

The problem is, the developers are only in it for the money it seems...they say, we're working on it, but no one stops and admits, the engine the gane is sitting on is 1o **** years old and simply can't be better optimized without completely removing and upgrading to a new engine for the Arma serious. Some have said this can't be done, but DayZ just announced they're doing just that. Tossing the old engine for a fresh new shiny engine. So if DayZ can do it, way can BI? Joint Operations from Novalogic released in 2004 is a far superior game in nearly every single aspect except graphics. Just after the game was released, the dev team focused solely on optimizing the game and did a great job of it. This is why I say A3 is just laughable. I am done supporting this incompetent excuse for a game company and watch them laugh and sip coffee while their game runs like ****
    Also, they just released an "add-on" which should have just been free, but they sell it for 2 or 3 dollars and claim they sold over 1 million copies, this would give the impression that theres a new fresh injection of cash in the dev coffers for optimizing the game, no? They release an update recently 1.24 I believe and it's actually made the game worse. BI is a joke, I have zero respect for them as a game company.

    This is like Arma 2 in terms of very very clunky control system and the feeling of an unfinished product. The worst thing about Arma series is that developers are ok with it. It will be crap in Arma 4 as well. AI in the main campaign is a joke - had to stop playing the campaign midway because of this. Both your team and the enemy. Giving orders is super clunky as well. Multiplayer: yeah,This is like Arma 2 in terms of very very clunky control system and the feeling of an unfinished product. The worst thing about Arma series is that developers are ok with it.

Multiplayer: yeah, good luck joining a server that does not say that you are missing this file or that file etc. And the game does not download it for you. You need to leave the game and google what files you need. Terrible, feels like early access. Expand

    Almost 3 years after release, Bohemia still cant get their game to run with playable frame rate, not even on high-end hardware. This is seriously disappointing.

    Awfully broken game. Don't trust the critics. Game critics obviously have a sponsorship with them. They are too scared to say anything real. Don't buy this piece of **** game

    Bohemia Interactive support nazis, discrimination, fascism. The brown plague reappears in Europe.

    There's something about Bohemia's world-building that inspires people. Importantly though, Arma 3's vanilla content now stands on equal footing with those third-party inspirations. It's still a little rough around the edges, but it's a darned impressive package nonetheless.

    Arma 3 seems to have a lot to offer in terms of multiplayer, but still not so much for the player looking to the single player experience.

    With Arma 3, Bohemia made a big step towards a unified platform for its military shooters, but at the same time took two steps back in regards to actual game content. Only the most hardcore fans will enjoy Arma 3 in its current form.
