Is ARMA 3 worth $60?

[HerpaDerp]

I'm not sure if I should shell $60 on the game...

I'm an avid ARMA 2 player, and really love the series, but is it a big enough jump from ARMA 2 to be worth the price of a whole entire new game?

Unless you have friends to play arma 3 with you wont have fun
Arma 3 has also yet to have an Operation Arrowhead of its own so the vehicle and weapon selection is a little bare, but what is there is still pretty fun

Yes it's worth $60 entirely, IMO. I would say wait, though, for the summer sales. You'll probably be able to get it for <$30.

If you don't have friends to play it with find a good community to join for it.

Kind of tempting to make a 'Blockland Plays' sort of thing for that, so that way we'd all know eachother(at least a little bit) and it'd be something interesting to do.

Not sure but I think the summer sale is supposed to be on the 19th of June this year

Oh stuff then I can probably wait... hopefully it goes on sale on one of the earlier days

Getting a huge blockland group would be pretty sick

The good:

• Scripted missions are easier to make in the editor than in arma 2
• Piloting and attacking with aircraft feels smoother
• Tanks finally fire tracers instead of blinding clouds of smoke
• Tanks have more munition types finally
• AI is slighty better than the Arma 2 AI. Not as good as the ai from the AI improvement mod
• Campaigns are longer and not as rushed

The Ugly:

• The devs basically took the "build the game for us" approach. There is a lack of scenarios created by the developers, all scenarios are player made and downloadable via steam workshop.
• The modding community feels overprotective over their work. There aren't that many cool mods for the game
• The game is lacking and requires player made content
• Most people play Dayz and the stupid Arma life roleplaying mod instead of doing the military stuff
• Maps are boring, there is a lack of player made maps
• The game basically feels like Arma 2, but reskinned with futuristic weapons

Buy when its on sale or when more content comes for it

Are you just looking on Workshop?
There's actually some pretty cool mods on Armaholic, like WAP, and I believe there's ones for a customizable F/A-18 Hornet, as well as one for the USS Nimitz.

I use arma-holic and the arma forums. I don't care for those single addons, I like stuff like Invasion 1944 and Project '85.
