This a most definitely a step up from Arma 2 which was released in 2009. Arma 3 is presently in it's Alpha stage but I still find it a to be a beautiful game. The single player is amazing fun with incredible missions allowing you to getting into every aspect the game has to offer from running around stalking your prey in the deep woods, or driving around in assorted vehicles or even flying around in a helicopter. The water is perfection, the terrain is breath taking and the sounds enveloping to the point where you could close your eyes and imagine being out in the woods in the real world. Yes I do recall what the real world looks and sounds like.
Wasteland is a beautifully designed MoD to which you play in multiplayer mode where you can party up with your friends or strangers a like fighting others on the other side of the fence. There are primary missions and secondary missions you can attempt to accomplish or just muck around. To play Wasteland you merely need to play the multiplayer then put Wasteland in the filter for missions.
DayZ has been moded to work with Arma 3 as well at this point, enough to hold us over hopefully while we patiently wait for the stand alone to release. Click Here for DayZ launcher for Arma 3 Here.
I think I will be playing this game for awhile. Well at least until Arma 4 comes out.
