There's nothing else quite like Arma 3 - it's a military FPS game, but it's also perhaps the most in-depth sandbox game available today, giving players the opportunity to build incredibly complex scenarios and simulations using the latest military hardware. Now, Arma 3 2.0 has arrived, and while it doesn't upend the milsim applecart in any major ways, it does bring with it some very welcome improvements to the seven-year-old game.
The biggest new addition in Arma 3 2.0 is the ability to share custom compositions created in the Arma 3 Eden editor directly to the Steam Workshop. Eden is Arma 3's 3D editing environment, and it lets you assemble game assets however you like, from simple table settings all the way up to full military bases and checkpoints. With the arrival of Arma 3 2.0, you'll be able to share your creations in Eden at the click of a button (once you've saved your work, naturally).
That streamlined functionality will make it easier for Arma scenario designers to build, share, and find objects and settings to fill out their work with realistic and atmospheric props and scenery. No sense in reinventing the wheel every time you need a roadblock set up in your Apex scenario, right? Now you'll be able to find one on the Workshop - right in the editor, mind you - and plunk it straight into your scene.
