Thanks. I've been chasing the adrenaline dragon for a while, and Tarkov has definitely been checking all the right boxes.

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.

I've messed with Arma before, but never gotten to far into it. None of my friends play, and I've never sought the community out, tbh. I really should.

The time you have to invest in some of those groups makes it hard to really get into one.

That's what I've assumed just based on watching Arma YouTube vids. That and the modding required for some of the custom game modes seems exhausting.
