5 Reasons Why Arma 3 Is a Must-Play Military Game

By Andrew Vanlaningham

Since the advent of the first-person shooter (FPS) genre of videogames in the mid-1970s, gamers have become increasingly obsessed with more engaging and immersive experiences. Popularized in the early ‘90s, FPS games have evolved from the days of floating guns with Rambo-like invincibility running roughshod through Castle Wolfenstein or Hell, blasting nasty Nazis and demons alike.

Now, with 4K resolutions, accelerated processors and large memory capacities, FPS games are increasingly immersive. Advanced enemy AI use real-world flanking and cover tactics. The environment is no longer a static backdrop but is now an integral and dynamic aspect of the games with fluid destruction mechanics. And the guns are more realistic with regard to ballistics than ever.

For those who are seeking the quintessential military simulation experience in a massive military sandbox, or gamers just looking for a deeper and yet still accessible FPS, check out Arma 3. Developed and published by Bohemia Interactive, Arma 3 is the premier military simulation PC game, featuring authentic combined arms and combat on unrestricted large-scale terrains. And I mean large.
