Steam Winter Sale - ArmA 3

There were several games that I picked up for Christmas during the Steam Winter Sale: American Truck Simulator, ArmA 3, Dishonored, South Park, Tabletop Simulator, as well as some DLC for a race management game that I am heavily into called Motorsport Manager.

I took a look at ArmA 3 a full three years ago during a Steam Free Play Weekend offer and was not impressed with what I saw, given the price point at that time (it was going for $59.99 USD and was marked down that weekend to $29.99). I noted an issue with armor crews bailing yet continuing on the assigned waypoint as if they could possibly contribute to the battle.

ArmA III Free Play Weekend Review

A couple of weeks ago Steam had a free play weekend going on for ArmaA III at the same time that the game was slashed to 50% down to $29.99. I have had the game in my wish list for several months and thought this would be the best opportunity to try out the game before making a purchasing decision. The free play weekend version was a modified install that provided access to one singleplayer campaign, the mission editor, and multiplayer.
