First things first, Arma 3 is a somewhat realistic depiction of war all by itself, and touches on how wars are being fought now in the modern day very well. I enjoyed the campaign, regardless of how difficult it was sometimes, because it doesn't put you in this super-soldier slaughter all your enemies position, it puts you in this fight for survival. I think it's a very down to earth game and I highly enjoy the nitty-gritty combat. The community is pretty good, and you can find all types of different people, from hackers to milsim units, the community is awesome. The modders are the ones that keep this game alive, and just offer up countless mods for you to play and enjoy, including, but nowhere limited to, RHS (which offers weapons and vehicles used by modern day soldiers), ACE (an advanced combat environment addon, which adds a whole lot of different things like better bullet drop, a proper medical system, and just a bunch of other stuff), Operation Trebuchet (A mod which adds Halo gear into the game. It's extremely fun playing as a spartan with a jetpack in this game), Star Wars (self explanatory), and so so much more.

Now, Arma 3 is also horrible in some regards, like lag (I surpass the recommended PC specs by a fair bit, with a GTX1070 graphics card, I7-6700 CPU, and 16GB of ram, which 15.8 of that 16 is usable) and the lag is just horrible sometimes, I'm assuming because of the mods I typically run. There's also underwater combat, which I don't find enjoyable, as there's only 1 gun you can use underwater, and to me, it just plain sucks. There's also the complicated control scheme which gets even more complicated with more mods (during an op I was doing with my friends, a few of my addons used a single key to do something, so whenever I'd use my jetpack [Halo mod] I would bring up 3-4 different menus) and of course, it's buggy, very buggy, which can be annoying sometimes, but other times it's absolutely hilarious.

Honestly, this is a great game, and it's a lot less clunkier than the previous Arma in my opinion, and it's a good starting point for any newcomers to jump into the game and learn, which takes a while. I may have 1700 hours at the moment, but damn I cannot drive a single mile without blowing up due to my own fault, however, my piloting skills are much better, and it's really easy to understand some aspects of the game that may not be clear to others, and other aspects will elude you forever. Their most recent DLC was lacking, but the rest of the DLCs are awesome, and I love how open they were about the first 8 or 9 DLCs, where you could use everything from the DLCs, except you can't drive the vehicles (only ride in them) and you can't use the maps (if they added one). Bohemia Interactive have done extremely well with this game, and I think it's worth the price if you're looking to sink a lot of time into the game and meet a lot of cool and good people. There's also a whole lot of veterans that play this game, so if you're looking for people who know their ♥♥♥♥, then this game is definitely for you.

Edit (11/22/2023)
There are absolutely ups and downs to the game and the communities within them, but definitely the game to practice voice acting in. With all the mods that have been released and are still releasing, god-tier game, even if some of the community members are downright bad people.
