Alright time for a short review, had this game since Alpha and well it has really just become worth it.
If you can overcome the terrible controls, minor glitches and general baffling mechanics at times (falling to your death at short heights). Then you may enjoy this game.

I've mainly played the Wasteland mod, Battle Royale, some Altis Life and some minor CO-OP mods.

I can say this game is worth it just for Wasteland, it is basically DayZ without the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ running for 4 hours, no dumb zombies, no crying about 'friendly killing' and a proper group system. The mods in general are just getting better and better. However it does take a while for you to find a good Altis Life server without a power abusing admin, I just gave up on that. Plus role play just makes things long.

But yeah, Arma 3 takes some getting used to. The really terrible controls add to the tension and in many cases the extended controls is needed to give you very advanced movement. but there are annoying things like dying by falling from a 5 foot drop, or trying to open a door to run away but you end up healing youself in the doorway...unable to move GG. Very unintuitave controls.

But with that said most players in this game 50 year old dads with no time to play games that much. And are thus awful and easy to kill. If you're quite adept at games and enjoy wrecking teams of 10 or more old guys playing, then this is the game for you.
