I don't mean that this video is "terrifying" in the oh no, it's almost Halloween and things are so scary right now sense. What I mean is, Arma 3 is scary huge, scary detailed, and scary realistic. There's tracer fire, one-shot one-kills, and a frightening level of air superiority. Much in the same way that the movie Requiem For A Dream makes me never want to do drugs, Arma 3 makes me never want to join the Army. Besides, the recruiters would see that I was already in the Navy and that I'm too delicate for being in an actual combat-arms situation.

The SITREP II video below ("SITREP" is a conjugation of "situation report") attempts to explain the basics of Arma 3. The narrator, Andrew "Dslyecxi" Gluck, reflects on the game's release, explores the launch package, and looks at the future of Arma 3 as a platform.
