This game's development cycle is probably the most absurd thing I've seen in gaming (bar AAA). I'm someone who fell in love with the mod and standalone STILL doesn't hold a candle to it's functionality, features, or fun factor after SEVEN YEARS (almost 8!) in development. Hell, barely anything in terms of the actual gameplay has changed over those seven years except now it seems that I find even less loot.

Don't get me wrong, they have added features over time. Features that were promised at launch (as well as a bunch of nonsense features nobody asked for) but hey, at least they got in right? Well next to nothing they added works properly and the die-hard players rely heavily on a number of mods to get the game to an enjoyable state.

On top of that Bohemia is a terrible company who doesn't deserve a dime out of your wallet. If you don't believe me look at what they did to ARMA 3, Ylands, and I've no doubt their other recent releases follow the pattern. Bohemia Interactive exerts as little effort as possible for a premium price.

I could seriously go on and on about the bs this game has put forth over the years but final verdict is that the base game is miserable to play.
