Arma 3 Creator DLC: Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany Review (BiohazardPT)
For 19.99€, i think it should be better. The sad part is that i would be easier to be much better but it's not due to mission and gameplay designs.
Pros:
- Beautiful map
- Nice assets being both good and quality and number
- Decent and long enough campaign with nice mission briefing
But it is overshadowed by its cons, that to me are almost game breaking. In the campaign you play either as infantry or in a tank, and both are very frustrating:
Cons:
- Infantry missions are led by AI, you are not the squad leader. This was a big mistake, because the AI is brain dead and will rush recklessly into enemy fire. What's even worse is that in order to prevent them to die, they made them invincible. So they will just fall unconscious and get back up after a few seconds meaning that they will steamroll the enemy and you don't have to do nothing, and if you want to participate in the fight, you are forced to play recklessly too and make many mistakes. This is unacceptable in a mil sim.
- The tank missions are not much better. I found it better to play with no other tanks is the squad because they do more harm than good. Playing as a commander is not easy because of the lack of turret stabilization, but i guess it's how it was in real life. Nonetheless it's better to play as gunner.
So, like i said, it could be a great CDLC if they decided to make it play differently, but with this issues i regret to say that i did not enjoyed it, and i think it's worth 14.99€ at most.
Grab it on a sale or if you want to make missions or play missions from the workshop. Don't buy it just for the campaign.
I was on the fence on giving a thumbs up, but i'm giving it a thumbs down, considering the 19.99 € pricetag.
