Arma 3 (2013)

Arma 3 is not a shooter, but a military sandbox where a shot at a kilometer requires adjustments for wind and bullet drop, and you often walk for twenty minutes to the gathering point. Bohemia has moved the action to the near future on the Mediterranean island of Altis — a giant map of two hundred seventy square kilometers with real villages, fields, and mountains, where you can drive in any direction without a single loading screen. Here, the player is one of many: you can be killed by a single burst from a bush, no regeneration, and an injury to the leg means you crawl from then on. But the real value of the game is the mission editor and the open mod architecture. It is on this foundation that a whole culture has grown: tactical communities playing full operations on a schedule, dozens of conversions, and earlier — the idea of the 'battle royale', tested in mods for this very series before becoming a separate genre.
