Poor levels of direction cut down on the atmosphere
Firstly, I think this a good campaign that has good potential, BUT, and its a big but, there are so many issues with it. The voice actor for Corporal Ryan does a very poor job at conveying any sort of emotion for what is happening at the current moment. He sounds so bleak and uninterested even when he is sharing a final moment for his friend. He doesn't sound stressed or worried that he stranded behind enemy lines. Its very clear that the author very much enjoyed the FIA segment in The East Wind where you help out the rebels as one of them, however this campaign takes those missions, makes them 50% more boring and stretches them out which makes playing them very stale. Lastly, the music choice. The music in the intro segment was awesome, I really loved it, however I didn't think that'd there be a new track for every single mission. Now I don't have a problem with it being added, but when you playing royalty free tension music for every mission it starts to get annoying.

Thanks for the feedback.

Ryan is actually an AI voice, so yeah, it isn't really emotional. I know it could be better.

Music is quite subjective, I really love it. Besides ACDC, the rest of the music is from ARMA 3 itself, not just royalty free music. You can always turn it off if you don't like it.

Don't listen to this review, Abuelo. they are just not happy because they believe how they play the game...is the only correct way to play.....LOL

I've helped a lot of people create and playtest arma 3 campaigns and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of the Arrowhead Story, i like how the perspective changed and that gear was carried over to the next mission. I'm very much hoping to see what comes next <3 The music was amazingly implemented and used perfectly.

Even though the voices are AI, it is still better than having silent or mute protagonists and allies.
Keep up the good work, my friend! <3

Did you think that this is some form of hate mail? This is a critique, and assuming that I didn't enjoy the campaign would be foolish. I mention above that I REALLY did enjoy what he created and there are some truly awesome moments such as the intro sequence or when you have to escape with the Gorgon in the mountain range while being attacked by AT, however its undercut by some flaws that are not core features such as the voice acting, irritating AI, and automatic mission failures if you decide to get in a vehicle to get to where you want to go quicker.

Mission failures when getting in vehicles? That's weird. Are you talking about the quad bikes?

@HighlandHero007 Thank you so much! Don't worry, I appreciate respectful reviews. And yes, the reason for using AI voices is just to avoid a silent protagonist hahaha.

I thought it may be intentional game design but whenever I get in any vehicle, that being a bike, troop transport, etc. I get a mission failure for "leaving the mission area"

Copy, that shouldn't happen. I will check it out.
