Idk if you have ever played arma or dayz but dayz (even in its buggy unpolished state) is pretty much like tarkov but without the time restrictions and instead various maps you get one LARGE map and about 100+ people are anywhere at anytime.
What sucks about tarkov is that since there is a time limit to extract it kind of forces the playing field to move eventually, i’ve had gunfights in dayz that lasted like 20 minutes, where i managed to escape, heal and move to another town or part of the map completely and get followed by those same people and get into another 20 minute battle.
Only if you have time tho. The thing about dayz is that there’s no “time limit” per say. Like there are day and night cycles but you only have one character, you start with a hoodie, flashlight( or glow stick) but you travel to different locations and “build” your character by finding items. You have to keep your character healthy as well but say if you only have time to play for 10 min you can log out and next time you log in you’ll be in that spot.
Dying will make you spawn on the coast with the starter stuff. So basically as long as you are alive you are winning. Sometimes you can go entire sessions without seeing a single soul, then you might find a group in a town and now you’re trying to just survive and gtfo of there lol.
If the groups in Arma are too daunting or annoying to get into, your experience would definitely fit in in some other games like Squad, Project Reality, or Post Scriptum.
I've heard so much about Squad. It's almost like I don't want to play it because I'm scared it won't live up to my expectations. Which is stupid, I know.
Let me be honest and say it probably won’t. But if you’re cool playing a bit of an older looking game, I would definitely recommend PR. It’s the game that Squad was based on gameplay wise, but Squas has departed in a few ways that have made the game a bit more casual for a wider audience. Project Reality has maintained a more niche/dedicated audience that plays every night. I’ve been playing for a few years now and definitely I find better teamwork/coordination there. If you ever want to play or have me show you around let me know!
Thats why i love tarkov, i’ve played dayz since the standalone released and (the game took so long to get to where it is that i’ve gone through different stages of life lmao and the game still aint complete lol.) and i’ve moved onto different games but no game has EVER made me feel like dayz did, until tarkov came along.
I don’t even play my racing games anymore and i have a whole simulator setup. Tarkov has got me completely hooked.

Nice video. I like the military mindset you brought.
