The greatest accomplishment a game can have is to leave lasting memory with the player. I find that this is especially true for memories that you can share. ARMA 3 can provide these in abundance. It is easily one of the best sandbox games I have ever played. I’ll never forget escaping from a temporary prison with a handful of friends, spending hours slowly and stealthily making our way to a heavily guarded communication tower, taking out an entire platoon in a surprise attack, and finally making contact with friendly forces for extraction, only to be told to rendezvous on the opposite side of the island. Of course, the enjoyment of these games is also dependent on the people that you play it with, so be sure to pester all your good friends so that they can play this with you. For as graphics and physics heavy as this game is, it handles surprisingly well. Gameplay wise, you will have to relearn everything you’ve been taught for FPSs. If you’re not extremely careful and working as a team, you’re going to die swiftly and painfully. The number of player made missions is amazing. This game has a bit of a learning curve, but not nearly as much as the previous titles in the series. Please, if you want to have some fun with friends, get this game.

I've been playing the Mount and Musket mod for this game, and it's the most fun I've had years. The community is just awesome.
