About Arma 3
Developed and published by Bohemia Interactive and released on September 12, 2013, Arma 3 is the definitive military simulation on PC — a game that asks more of its players than any mainstream shooter and rewards that investment with an experience nothing else in the genre can match. Set across two semi-fictional Mediterranean islands, Altis and Stratis, the game provides a combined 290 km² of meticulously detailed terrain covering dense urban environments, rolling hills, coastal towns, forests, and open plains that support every conceivable form of military engagement from long-range sniper operations to full combined-arms assaults across land, air, and sea.
The arsenal is extensive — 40+ weapons with customisable loadouts including short and long-range attachments, and over 20 vehicles spanning infantry fighting vehicles, tanks, transport helicopters, attack jets, and naval craft — all simulated with a fidelity that mainstream shooters never attempt. The single-player campaign follows Corporal Ben Kerry across three episodes — Survive, Adapt, Win — that track his progression from isolated survivor to squad leader across a conflict between NATO and the Canton-Protocol Strategic Alliance Treaty. Multiplayer ranges from official Defend and Seize scenarios to the Zeus game mode where dedicated Game Masters shape the battlefield in real time for other players. The real depth lies in the modding community — thousands of Workshop creations spanning total conversion mods, new factions, vehicles, maps, and entire new game modes have kept Arma 3 alive and expanding for more than a decade after release.
Arma 3 holds a Metacritic score of 74 on PC and a Very Positive rating on Steam with 90% positive reviews across more than 283,000 players — one of the largest and most sustained positive review tallies of any PC game ever released.

Arma 3 has one of the steepest learning curves of any game on PC. The control scheme is complex, the simulation fidelity is demanding, and the game does not hold your hand at any point.

Players who commit to learning Arma 3 consistently describe it as one of the most rewarding games they have ever played.
