Early Access Review
Updated review: Much more stable experience with mod support. Worth checking out while the community is supporting it with their modded servers.

----------OLD REVIEW------------
As others are saying, this is NOT worth the $30 unless you wish to support BI with Arma 4's development by purchasing this. The multiplayer connect to servers was very spotty and was ultimately what made me refund this for the time being.

I didn't see much AI combat, it doesn't look like you can coop vs AI except from maybe the Game Master mode but I didn't try that.

I will say the engine they are running on feels much cleaner and smoother. Infantry have JUMP out the gate?! Instead of giving you the scroll menu of Socrates when you approach objects that you can interact with, you get a slimmed down menu giving you easy options for what you would want to do with that object. The engine has 'UGE potential and I can't want to see what they do with it in Arma 4.

That said, if you are an Arma geek looking for a fun coop/PVP experience....this is not that. It was nice to preview what they have but for $30 I expected a little bit more of a polished experience trying to join servers at the very least.

Multiple bugs ran into out the gate:
- Failed to join server after installing mod
- Servers not loading randomly, restarting the game seemed to fix this.
- Unable to join any servers, "Server connection disconnected"
- Servers crashing constantly (see Unable to join any servers)
- Control scheme doesn't allow you to set "Hold" modifiers or "Double tap" control modifiers, so if you want to remap a button they are using by default, you can't due to that limitation.
