What's the best i5 that won't break the bank and will let me play Arma 2 at better frame rates? The only thing that's really holding me back now is my i3 4130. Due to the slow pace of the game, on more forested maps like Chernarus it's playable at 25-30 fp

ARMA 2 needs beefy STP. Take your pick: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html

take into consideration that performance on Arma titles is heavily dependent on the mission being played.

Why do I feel that movement in Arma 2 has more weight to it than in 3?

May as well get the new i5 if you don't want to go Ryzen OP. >>16016972 is right, but intel management engine has been built into hardware since gen 5 at least, and AMD has the same backdoors. Everybody knows shit's fucked, but unfortunately if you want to play games and don't want to run some ancient piece of shit you have to spread your buttcheeks

Each game improved on movement and terrain navigation, in ofp (Arma cold war crisis) it was so bad you would often clip through static models or buildings, the castle models in particular were death traps.

The new Arma 3 maps lag less but I believe this is due to the maps having less trees more than anything

inertia. basically hardcoded mouse deceleration. there was a maximum speed at which you could rotate and it was quite slow. also arma 2 just always ran like trash and movement was quite slow, so you adapted to it.

A3 is the far superior gayme.
