How can you possibly expect to make a competeitve, fast paced, first person shooter out of a game made for large scale military simulation, ridden with MMO scale problems...

Pros:
-UI Looks Nice

Cons:
-The tick rate/ Overall lag, delay, and unresponsive nature of CQB in the Arma 3 engine.
-No 3D HUD markers, so there is ALOT of teamkilling.
-The announcer voice is annoying as ♥♥♥♥.
-The watered downed, neutered controls are very off putting for Arma veterans.
-No right click to zoom feature. The sights are permanently locked in the "zoom" mode which adds to the BS of CQB.
-Minimap is a reskined version of the standard GPS, which is far too cluttered and the icons are oversized, making it impossible to tell if it's a friendly or enemy on the other side of the wall.
-Combat Patrol mode with AI... The AI are the most pathetic pile of ♥♥♥♥ that have ever been devised in normal Arma 3, much less in a fast paced mode like this. The damage they take is delayed, their path finding is absolutely awful, and they can STILL fire a single shot through 3 bushes and hit you right between the eyes. There could not be a more frustrating combo.

Conclusion:
Yes, its free, but it is a waste of time and resources to try and bend a massive game and engine that already has plenty of terrible problems with many of the above issues, and force it into a very poor representation of a "competitve shooter". The only way I would recommend this is to a new player, who has never played an Arma game in their life, and wants to get a peak of how this sort of combat can be portrayed in the game, without having to pay for the full game. If you have Arma 3, just play King of The Hill or some other similar game mode for a much better experience.
