Who wins?

An entire police force, Manhacks and barnacles who have SMGs vs Gordon Freeman, a guy who just nonchalantly does not react to anything and also wields a pistol at the start of the game?

monarchy hehe

if you like being softlocked, this is your game.
if you like not being able to join heists, this is your game.
if you like modders who will crash your game, this is your game.
if you like long loadtimes, this is your game.
if you like being griefed by a(n) tank/oppressor, this is your game.
if you like people leaving the heist before or during your heist, this is your game.
if you like people shooting at you while doing some business stuff, this your game.

This game is boring that even when I was allowed to check every single coin, it was more interesting and fun than the game. I even had a .22 LR and 9mm with me. But EA, please stop forcing me to have an account for a game that literally is only Campaign.

I honestly have no clue why the death screen are so long, you have a guy who's only movement while fatally WIA is his arms, then the game trying to load in the last checkpoint. It is so slow that I feel the need to quit the game each time.

I think I'd have more fun if Arma 3 did not force you to buy all their DLCs which if we don't include the base DLCs that come with the game when you buy it that being: Zeus, Malden and Art of Work Charity Pack.

What these DLCs give you for having them is:


Art of Work Charity Pack: Formal Suit, Parade Uniform and Cap, Civilian Backpack, Art T-Shirts and just memorial things that you can use in the editor.
Malden: A new map, multiplayer combat patrol
Zeus: Become Zeus, multiplayer modes and you can form a squad, I guess?

Not particularly great DLCs compared to the others like:

Marksman - which allows you to have 7 new weapons to use like Mar-10 and straight up the Mk14 rifle.
Jets: You get 4 new jets to use.
Apex: You have a new map, and assault rifles like the AKM, AKS-74U and 10 new vehicles
Laws of War: You just play as the IDAP, getting to respond to humanitarian disasters with being able to use a new van, drone, mine dispenser and new cosmetics I guess?
Helicopters: You can actually use the helicopters and even shoot people out of it... this is a war simulator and you cannot roleplay in the war simulator unless you pay money to take a sit in a helicopter instead of most definitely being ambushed driving to your location.
Tanks: You can actually use tanks, again this is a war simulator. Why does it cost money to use these things?
Karts: You can play as a racer in a war simulator, no comments since it is just a joke DLC.

Now, imagine in gameplay that you just shot someone and are looting them for money now. But there's a DLC icon on the weapon. I am pretty sure that Bohemia just chose the DLCs that would least hurt their company and made them free.

I will be calculating the prices of these DLCs (excluding sales tax) by the regular pricetags (as in the prices when the DLCs are not discounted)

The total cost is 76.93 dollars, for 76.93 dollars, you could do a lot better other than buying all the possible DLCs

But let's calculate them when they are discounted as of Sep 16.

The total cost is $40.72, despite a $36 dollar difference, you could still do a lot with 40 dollars like buying 2 X-Large cheese pizzas from Dominoes and you'd still enjoy the moments with those pizzas than spending even 2 minutes in the game.

If you are playing HLL for the first time:

Keep these things in mind:
The game will let you change your loadout based off the level of the playable role you play as during matches. And most of them are small changes like being able to add a pistol to your loadout, but the Soviet anti-tank role's first loadout has a Mosin-Nagant rifle and a PTRS-41 rifle which may be huge.
The game's sniping mechanics are trying to replicate reality so you have to strategically plan your camping spot, a spot where your weapon can hit an enemy.
This game has no killcams so you could be super stealthy since many other shooters will show the position of the person who killed you or their name. If you die, you simply get a black screen that tells you that you have 10 seconds to reload.
If you are incapacitated, you have the choice to either manually die yourself by holding F or let a medic hold you, and in games where no one on your unit has chosen the Medic role, it is easier to manually die.
The game has Spotter, a role where you basically operate either the assault or rifleman weapons with the one unique thing being the binoculars.
Most important thing of all is that there are limits on units either locked or unlocked.

At this current time, there are only four teams that being the Soviet Union, Germany, United Kingdom and United States. It is possible that the game may add new teams like the Imperial Japanese or Italy, or some teams that had a huge role in World War 2 but if they don't plan to add them, then that is no problem.

So, I finished the campaign.

I may have to warn you that the game has bugs, surprising?

I suffered some random bug like in Revelations where if you have a monitor that doesn't support the flashback cutscenes. Hudson will just hold an M1911 at you. So you have to basically make your game's aspect ratio the lowest possible, 800 by 600.

This game is challenging a little bit at Recruit, so that's a bonus. You have to make quick decisions on most missions like in Rebirth where you need to basically kill the guard at the 3rd stop quick or otherwise, the whole station is going to kill you with only a Tomahawk and no will to live anymore.

I don't give my free will to fly helicopters anymore, that has to be the worst things I have done. I cannot operate a helicopter with my bare hands, even a mouse and a keyboard.

It is a good game, just beat the game and to give my fair review.

Being sneaky is not easy but may be possible. The game offers you suppressed ammo which is great if your position isn't good on maps.

But if I had to give an opinion on where suppressed ammo is the greatest, it might be Regilino Viaduct, and the bridge because there's a miles-long gap between you and an enemy. However suppressed ammo is not (Don't trust me because I may be wrong.) usually available on a lot of maps.

The story is basically to be explained in 3 words, "Patience, Red, Shoot" because what makes a great orgasm like the slow-mo shots of the bullet?

Now if you really care about earning achievements, most of the achievements are locked behind paid DLC which is scummy because a company shouldn't lock achievements behind DLC, not to mention that this game is 60 dollars without sale, but is 5 dollars on sale. Imagine spending money just to be told 'secretly' by the developers to "go f--k yourself and give us 30 dollars.", but don't worry! If you don't feel like paying the worst prices, just buy the Season Pass! This is just not a game should work. A game shouldn't offer you 35 dollars just to be able to get every single DLC weapon and new maps. Now, I am going to be fair with you, for every level you get, you get points to buy new weapons, and while not a massive list, it is still an okay list.

What, why and how?

What - What Am I Doing?
Why - Why Am I Playing This Game?
How - How Did That Happen?

Good questions to ask yourself when playing War Thunder where you press "Play", play 5 tank matches, 2 air battles and then quit after making a modification.

Thank you, NWI. It was hard for me to believe how gross it was to look at those targets and see how low-quality it was. I threw up everytime I saw it. Before downloading, I was unable to pay attention to the game because of how yucky it was to look at a gross target. I would have a K/D of 0/7 because it was unbelievable how much of a war crime it was to look at the target. Especially the fire-extinguisher. Oh my goodness, was it all sadness. My teammates constantly screamed slurs and insulted me because I was unable to handle how bad I was at focusing on the low quality textures. Thank you, thank you for letting us download a free DLC to change these textures to be better than better. I really feel like I'm playing as an insurgent or the coalition ever since downloading this.
