The forested valley is rammed with enemy combatants. One insertion takes you through a valley, aiming to rescue a team pinned down in a village. Though these missions are tight and controlled, they're still hugely entertaining bursts of action and can feel more expansive than they are. You're not learning to duck and jump, but instead figuring out how to set-up a string of mines so a ridgeline is well protected and a medic has the time to work on a downed soldier. It's a necessarily instructive opening, but it's instructive in the Arma way of things. You are nothing more than a grunt in this segment, taking orders and then enacting them from this hub. Apart from the brutal opening trudge across a swathe enemy-patrolled land, most of the missions are launched from a small camp hidden in the forest. You survive and start consolidating the remaining troops, trying to figure out what's going on. Just as the forces are thinned down, a massive assault is launched by a suspiciously powerful local aggressor.
It's never as open as it could be, and though there's a lot of good and one or two great moments, I still get the feeling that Bohemia likes to play it safe.Įach episode has a theme: the opener, Survive, starts off towards the end of a large-scale withdrawal of peacekeeping forces from Stratis, the smaller of the two islands. There are small fights, and there are big fights, but it only rarely acknowledges the scope of the islands. Arma 3's episodic campaign, delivered in three chunks since October last year, deals with an ever-escalating multi-force conflict tearing this quiet Greek paradise apart. I wonder if the developers at Bohemia ever take a break and just explore what they've made? For a company willing to put in the effort of recreating a duo of real-world islands to the smallest detail they can manage, Bohemia is a surprisingly cagey game developer.

Bohemia's main duty since October has been to create a single-player campaign that uses their remarkable creation and engine, and the final part of The East Wind series of episodes was released a short while ago.
I can't get over the fact that it exists. At least 20 of those hours involved me loading up the editor, planting a helicopter and pilot on the map, and just flying all over the island.
