Visual glitches abound, but its just another day in ARMA 3Д«eyond just getting the game to run thereвЂ™s the ever-present weirdness that seems to be ARMAвЂ™sВ everyday. Apex doesnвЂ™t exactly help with this, since the dense jungles of Tanoa donвЂ™t do the engine any real favours, and while they look great they tend to do more harm than good. Bohemia has done a lot of work to make this a little better, with a mountain of patches to make the game run smoother, but the fact remains that ARMA 3 is just a hard game to get running. Even on high-end hardware getting a decent frame-rate higher then 30 is something of a miracle, and ARMA 3 remains one of the worst optimised games on PC. First and foremost is the number one caveat for anyone looking to get into ARMA: this game is an absolute system killer. Unfortunately many of the issues that plague the main game also plague Apex. Once again, itвЂ™s unfortunate that the main campaign does such a bad job of showcasing this, but playing around with the new weapons in multiplayer is a blast and itвЂ™s almost worth the price of admission for that alone. ThereвЂ™s a lot of meat on these bones and the new weapons and vehicles are a welcome addition to the already impressive line-up on offer. Of course what would a new map be without new tools to play around with? 13 new guns, including the long absent Kalashnikov pattern rifles and the classic RPG-7, 10 new vehicles, a new faction, and a mountain of other new tweaks to the game make for a very attractive package for any fans of the series.

ItвЂ™s absolutely exciting to think of the possibilities for this map once the mod community gets its teeth into it, and even now mere days after release, weвЂ™re already seeing a few mods that take advantage of the new location. Dense jungles make for uncomfortable pitched infantry combat as you weave through trees trying to line up shots, the open fields give armour columns plenty of space to wreak havoc, the small villages and towns provide ample opportunities for combined operations, and the addition of rivers creates a new possibility for navel combat. Tanoa is massive and adds a lot of variety that the vanilla maps of ARMA 3 were sorely lacking in. Still, the campaign is only part of the package, and like always ARMAВ is an entire box of toys, not just the train. Its better with friends, certainly, but it doesnвЂ™t seem like a big enough draw, especially considering the price tag this pack carries with it. You only barely get to experience the new map or even the weapons since youвЂ™re largely locked into the same gun, even over nine classes to choose from. The eight new missions are uncomfortably linear and donвЂ™t offer the freedom youвЂ™d crave from a game as big as ARMA 3. It does make some improvements, like a new Battlefield style spawn system when you die, and the missions themselves are enjoyable enough, but it doesnвЂ™t feel like proper ARMAВ content, more like a mod put together by a very talented team. Unfortunately the campaign does a really bad job of showing off the new features Apex adds. Or characters as the case may be since the big change this time around is the inclusion of drop-in multiplayer, letting you complete the campaign with up to three additional players, which makes the firefights that much more tactical and off-sets the gameвЂ™s incredible difficulty.ДЄK rifles make a welcome return, a familiar face in contrast to the futuristic weapons on offer. The plot, what little there is, is revealed through cutscenes and radio chatter, with your character largely silent. You are a member of the NATO task force sent in to re-stabilise the country while taking down its largest crime syndicates. This time itвЂ™s the tropical island of Tanoa in the south pacific, specifically based on the Fiji islands. The setup for Apex вЂsВ campaign is once again a humanitarian crises gone wrong in some unknown country that requires military intervention. Is this a war worth signing up for, or a draft you might want to dodge?

Despite this the ARMA series has managed to carve out a comfortable niche as the worldвЂ™s most hardcore military sim, and after 3 years and uncountable patches we finally get a proper expansion with the jungle based ApexВ pack.

Its not Battlefield, its definitely not Call of Duty, in fact, all things considered it sits a lot closer to Farming Sim than either of those games. ARMAВ almost refuses proper classification in the world of gaming.В The closest conventional genre would be shooter, but that seems almost disingenuous to both ARMA itself and traditional shooters. Trying to sell ARMA 3 to someone unfamiliar with the series is pretty hard.
