I'm not saying that Arma 3 is ♥♥♥♥, but 2 just has a lot more vehicles, weapons, and just has a better singleplayer story (In my opinion) I will not speak upon mods because they are not included in the base game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

The campaign is solid (although the VA is laughable), gunplay is realistic and the graphics are alright.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The single player campign is fun, if a little glitchy, the coop is easy to start up, and the editor is easlily one of the best I have ever used.
