ARMA 3 is a love hate relationship: best mil-sim ever and one of the worst engines ever brought into creation.

ARMA 3 is the most versatile military simulation available and the multiplayer modes are endless. This is the true PC experience when it comes to sheer scope and magnitude. I have put the most hours into this game when it comes to FPS games in the last decade and will continue to play it until the next ARMA comes out.

On the other side of the matter, ARMA is the WORST optimized game I have ever played. It barely makes use of more than one core which effectively makes all GPUs moot and runs at a terrible framerate for everyone. It is beyond ridiculous that any developer would be ok with the absolutely horrible optimization that this engine has. It is really so bad I am having a hard time putting it into words. ARMA has bad optimization for the days of dual cores never mind for today's standards. It is completely embarrassing for the developers to have this shoddy excuse for an engine in 2016. With that being said I love this game and I hate the engine with a burning passion.
