I bought this game in 2013 and started playing on a Windows 8 office laptop, getting a solid 18-30 FPS on the vanilla version of the game. Some time in 2015, the Exile mod dropped and my buddies and I played a few hundred hours in that mode. So many memories made with that one mod alone, I will never forget that mod and I am thankful to the developers for creating it.

It is now the year 2024. All of my friends and myself have grown up and have adult lives now. Time has become a commodity that is much more difficult to come by than when I picked this game up over a decade ago. Due to the release of the Antistasi mod, the same friends I played this game with and I have once again picked it up to enjoy a new experience and relive what made Arma so great in the first place. It's still so much fun all of these years later.

This game is a must-have. It's janky, unpolished in certain areas, and crashes a ton (especially with mods)...but I don't care. Here's to another decade of Arma!
