ARMA 3

New creator DLC announced...

Western Sahara

In this new DLC, you will take on the role of private military contractors and be deployed to a new desert sandbox terrain. Besides more content creation opportunities in the Arma 3 scenario editor, the Western Sahara DLC will offer several official scenarios and game modes to choose from. One of these is the open-world scenario "Extraction", which can be played in singleplayer or in co-op online multiplayer with up to four players. The scenario offers players the opportunity to serve as an operator for the ION Services private military company who are sent on a combat search and rescue mission after a war correspondent has been taken captive somewhere in the fictional war-torn desert province of Sefrou-Ramal.

Key features of the Western Sahara Creator DLC include:

Sefrou-Ramal Terrain (100 km2) - Composed of completely new assets, as well as upgraded structures and objects from Arma 2 and Arma 3, Sefrou-Ramal is a province in the northeast of fictional Argana and is characterized by flowing sand dunes and desert architecture.
Armed Forces - UNA peacekeepers, Sefrawi Freedom and Independence Army, Tura tribe insurgents, desert NATO forces, and the return of the private military company ION Services.
4 Weapons & 1 Static Weapon - IMIL GALAT and Velko R4 automatic rifle, SLR rifle, XMS bullpup rifle, and a fully remastered Arma 2 static weapon, the ZU-23 anti-air gun.
9 Vehicle Variants - New variants of existing Arma 3 vehicles such as the Zamak truck, AMV-7 Marshall Infantry Fighting Vehicle, Offroad pickup truck, and PO-30 Orca helicopter.
Equipment - A gun drone with a modular weapon attachment system, a portable ballistic shield, and a variety of masks like dust goggles, a military-style headset, a ballistic mask, and more.
Open-World Scenario: "Extraction" - Search for intel and clues to return a kidnapped war correspondent to safety in a sandbox scenario featuring dynamically randomized contracts, which can be played in both singleplayer and multiplayer co-op with up to 4 players.
Multiplayer Mode: "King of the Dunes" - An original spin on the popular community-made sector control multiplayer game mode "King of the Hill".
Multiplayer Mode: "Last Stand" - Defend against waves of enemies in a new co-op game mode for up to 4 players.
Showcase: "ION Weapon Systems" - A VR training environment to test gear in various scenarios and prepare ION operatives for deployment.
2 Time Trial Races - Race across the Sefrawi sand dunes in the Vrana-Redstone Dune Rally.
Additional Content - A digital camera, dromedary camel, refugee tents, and various new structures and props.

It's only $6.99, so I'm not expecting much, but I always welcome new content in this one.

Moistly just new toys, but some cool units including, Australian and New Zealand, Korean Marines, Pathet Lao guerrillas, ARVN Marines and CIA, as well as some new map assets like the Saigon embassy and a new 5kmx5km map depicting a portion of the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos.

i don't know what is more amazing...the fact that an engine with such flexibility exists in the first place, or the modders who are able to exploit it to great scenarios this diverse and exciting.

This modder used ARMA 3 to create a scenario in the Cyberpuink 2077 world.  It's awesome.
