What a great video. Enjoyed it!!! Hyped foe the new VIETNAM DLC!!

Sadly Bohemia Interactive is not the group creating the training simulators, their sister company, Bohemia Interactive Simulations, that broke off from them in 2013, when acquired by The Riverside Company, are.

You should make a video about which arma 3 DLC are worth buying

Nice gameplay

You’re definitely right, but a huge deal of the performance problems has got to do with optimisation of missions. As someone who builds missions myself, I can tell you there are ways to ensure decent performance. The more players in a server though, the harder it becomes.

@@BillyEatWorld THIS

I like a fair bit of jankiness in my game engine, but ARMA is just so slooow... Not to mention, tab out of the game and it instacrashes. WTF Bohemia

@@moritamikamikara3879 weird, I can alt tab out of arma 3 without problems

@@moritamikamikara3879 Put the game in borderless windowed if you haven't already, might help

u'd enjoy Foxhole then

I wish DCS had human ground forces that had the same coop experience

@@smudent2010 all of these games just need to come together and make ONE BIG GAME... including kerbal for space stuff...

I don't know how long the development team for h1z1 stuck with their game, but Bohemia Interactive has been pretty loyal to Arma 3 for a long time, I would say at least 7 years if not more than that.

@@thehotdogman9317 there developers ruined there game and would not listen to the fan base it was the first battle Royale and the best in my opinion they ran of there Fan base

Given the developer, and who they put in charge, H1Z1 was doomed from the start.

ha great analogy, i bought both games around the same time and had a lot of fun with both

I miss that game.

Bingo!

Big brain answer here. WW1/2 Halo Star Wars Modern military Vietnam Warhammer Stargate Mass Effect Zombie/Survival Half Life Etc

That's basically what I tell people. If they don't understand what it is after I explain it, I tell them it's the "anything game"

i think of arma as more of an engine. the base game is decent vanilla but modding is REALLY where its at. there is literally a mod for everything pretty much

@@CeizoBro you're not wrong because you deal with scripting and shit like you would in an engine.

yeah this is a hard thing to get over. I would recommend depending on if you are gonna skip the tutorial that you find someone in a forum looking to teach or help new players because there is a LOT to learn

You know the nam DLC isn't from Bohemia? :P The last DLC from Bohemia was Arma 3 Contact in July 2019

What do you know about the new DLC is there going to be missions or do I need to wait for the mod community to make me a we were soliders mission?

@@Spookykidshow As far as I know there is going to be a 14 player coop campaing. Multiple scenarios, like 50-ish new weapons and mod support from the beginning like Antistasi or wasteland. Also new factions (4 I think) and vehicles like the F-4E Phantom or Huey helicopter as an example for the Americans.

This aged well

Thanks a lot! Love your content by the way mate. Send me a message on twitter if you get the chance! Would be great to catch up and play some ARMA sometime!

Shit...i played that game

I used to play that on my xbox 360 when i was younger

I still have Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis, Red Hammer and Resistance expansion packs for PC in their original boxes. It must be close to 20 years ago! Wow. I finally bought all dlc (including Contact) for Arma3 just yesterday after playing the hell out of it and Apex the last few years. Then there's the new Prairie Fire DLC etc that looks really interesting. Nope, this game is going nowhere... Only wider, deeper and more complex... :) Would love to see the Angola War (1975) visited as it hits closer to home than most of the current conflicts presented.

My channel is about it ... and about Arma

Played it on my honeymoon

Yo same

I ve got if for 2$ on Steam Argentina. And it was worth it

@@freeczi3728 Game is Hella cheap in Argentine Currency compared to my currency

Same here 😂

kinda found it hard to get into, what do you recommend to look for?

Amen brother so mmuch fun in the Arma life mods but i got tirede of the maitnence updates and eventually certain servers would die or get toxic

Welcome to the PC world. I have been a long time PC user - since 1983. And that was not my first computer. Those early years were the best. My first console was the Atari 2600 - still have it.

I do know that the simulation company offered a service very similar to ArmA 2, but since then it really has diverged

Was going to say this if someone else hadn't, lol.

The AI appears to be worse in arma 3. That makes the campaign really frustrating at times. But I still love this game.

@@ww3032 did you try using mods like LAMBS?

@@sponky8614 I've tried others. I can't remember which 2 that I've tried but they broke certain missions in the campaign.

Same

i liked this but i left it because i had fucking 30 fps in the cities.

@@Furthi same

I play arma for everything that Battlefield and Cod don’t have, but I don’t play arma for the gun play no one does

@@crispay8304 actually some people do

Look ust get a pc. If you like Arma at all then you need a pc..not for arma but just in general you wont regret it

i just built a gaming pc for 6grand but you dont even need to spend that much on a pc the games runs fine on most prebuilt pc's over $1000

@@keanestewart4837 6???

@@pajo5014 yeah man its goated

@@keanestewart4837 is it like still same performance after 8 months? I was thinking about building one too but max for 3k

Totally mate. Usually I find I meet people will almost no hours, or people with thousands of hours. It’s very rewarding if you spend the time to get good at it.

Currently switching from Arma 2 to 3. Arma 2 also had a lot of kybindings and once you get used to them its quite easy. Not sure for A3 tho

@@MrKruska11 Arma 3 keybinds are a lot easier to get to know when you transition from the two, just be advised in Arma 3 "G" is for Grenade, not Gear. Definitely didn't squad wipe or anything because of it, noooo.

@@VynalDerp kinda late. Learned it the hard way. Still A3 has even better keybinds even though i can change them most are on default. Only thing I had a hard time getting used to is pressing the middle mouse button for the scroll menu

Play KOTH server. It’s faster paced and you learn really quick. I was the same way. Dropped ARMA after playing for a few hours. Picked it up again and played koth, I’ve been playing non stop. I’m so glad I gave it another shot

Bruh use mods there’s a Vietnam mod

What are your thoughts? I've had the game for damn near 2 years, and I just cant bring myself to get into it. It looks so awesome on video, but when you play it, servers are just full of greasy neckbearded fucks who don't give 2 shits about helping you understand simple parts of the UI, or even the point of the match you're in. I'm convinced that(unless you're in a team of like 40 people who are into a serious unit), this game is just terribly executed and a waste of potential. Without modded content, it really just sucks.

Zeus is really fun I recommend you build the most of the mission in eden then have Zeus to fix issues and spice things up

Same here. I watched videos for a couple years while waiting to build my pc. Idk about you. But I think when my friends hear how much you can do from me and that I’m still learning a lot after 3 months, turns them off to the idea. Like this “they see you pointing at the moon, not the moon itself.” I’m trying subtlety in my approaches and I can say, three of them are building PCs and getting ARMA now. Tom Sawyer those son’s a bitches. Btw I have 90% of my gameplay as Zeus, it’s the main (not whole) reason I play. As an rts player, this is the closest game I can think of that plays like a game of D&D with your buddies, a fps and an rts all in one delightful package. D&D was their inspiration for Zeus and I LOVE creating and playing out scenarios.

Yeah key can be tedious to learn at first i must agree ! Just to say, me and my friends were all playing COD, then BF, then siege... but one day i've found Arma and you know what ? We all loved it. I'm sure if you show to your friend few videos he will *at least* be interested. I convinced my friends to join me, and it's been now 7 years and a half that we're all playing. May be you should show to your friend those ones: Luetin09 "what can a new player expect ?" , Viper1Zero "top10 reasons to play arma3 in 2020" and from official arma3 "33 things about arma3". To talk about arma 4 sadly i don't think it will comes until many years ; they are currently still working on the new engine which they will make their games on. If the engine is not ready, it means arma 4 can't even starts to be developped, and to give you an idea arma 3 took 7 years of development before release. So yeah, they have to finish the engine first, then at least 7 years for arma 4 if not more...

you mean 8 years

@@kasper8899 I mean since 2001 when the original game in the series, then named Operation Flashpoint came out. They (more or less) kept their original game formula intact over the 20 years and just kept improving every single area of the game with each new title. That is commendable. You can't say that about many other gaming series (I'm looking at you RainbowSix).

sounds like World of Warcraft haha

You will spend hours thousand of hours! Welcome to the amazing community! brother

Hey man thinking of getting it is it good ??

@@jayx4489 once you learn the game you will never look back it will always have a place in your library

I can vouch for the comments above

Nice! You sure it wasn't VBS3 or VBS 4 as BI aka Bohemia interactive created Arma 3, whereas their sister company is the ones that make the simulations which is called VBS 3 and 4 thats what the military use. Not that you could train in Arma 3 i've done it with my milsim back in the day just wondering if your mistaken BI for BIS (Bohemia Interactive Simulations (VBS 3/4 devs).

@@Gunter_Severloh you are probably totally right, I just remember I was in “convoy simulator training” and it was pretty much just playing Arma 3 lol

I've been playing like that since I've got It, you can spend a good amount of time solo if you like the mods and all

It’s still really fun alone but I play multiplayer with just anybody and have a blast

I play almost always alone and have thousands of hours in the game. It's just multiple games in one: you can spend hours creating missions, you can spend hours playing missions, you can just explore the huge maps that are available, it's a low key flight simulator, you can play realistic milsim type missions or fanciful spy missions, whatever you want! :-)

You can hear where the shots are being fired, just know the first sound is the bullet hitting the ground and the second is the actual shit being fired.

You can try Geforce Now. And Arma 3 is now on Steam Sale
