Good afternoon, I'm curious if people think this is worth playing?

Any pros, cons, etc.

I love Arma and I loved operation flash Point and dragon rising.

Friend plays and loves it, but says wait a few months to buy. From what I've seen it's a very strong looking beta, but lots of issues still need ironed out before it's meaningfully playable. I was sold as soon as I heard there was a pve mode because open world constant potential pvp is too much stress, but still giving it a bit before I actually pick it up.

Haven't played since close to launch (because it was very laggy). I really liked the idea and had a lot of fun when it was working. I haven't played in a while so I can't comment on the current state of the game but if you like Tarkov or DMZ there's a good chance you'll like this game. It feels like it's somewhere between the arcade feel of DMZ and the milsim feel of Tarkov.

I also like that it's one big living map. I haven't tested it but I'm pretty sure you can be in one zone and run all the way over to a totally different zone (what would be considered a different map in Tarkov). The map feels super big. I'm excited to check it out again.

Yeah I have been apprehensive about buying it cause I keep hearing it's laggy

I also don't like buying unfinished products but I also recognise the need for ongoing funding or ground up funding.

But I don't want to throw money at something and find it's a total disaster.

I might wait a little longer.

Cheers mate

I play it since launch and it is not laggy (if it becomes laggy just change server). It had some connection problems at first but nothing too bad, you just had to retry once or twice.

The major problems players complained were not enough helicopters spawn use to "fast travel" around the map (leading to queues of people waiting for an airlift or just walking to destination) and some AI having god sight and shooting you in bushes.

There’s been several updates and the roadmap is public.

I enjoy the game but I play very slowly, I still haven’t unlocked everything. The missions are nice, I like walking in the nature to enjoy the scenery and snipe people.

I like that it is PVE or PVPVE. Other players are usually helpful and talks on the proximity chat (at least on pve) so you can be a lone wolf and participate in a more difficult assault with randoms passing by.

I’d say look at some YouTube reviews but be aware, some of those players finished the game in 48 hours and are complaining that they have nothing left to do (duh) so they want updates (which are coming).

If I hadn’t already I would definitely buy the game, maybe not on full price.

That's fair, so you can play on your own. That's good to hear, I don't have a great overlap with my gaming friends.

I'll keep am eye out for a sale and give it a go then.
