And you could combine eras too. Like WW1 soldiers fighting WW2 soldiers. Or WW2 soldiers fighting Vietnam soldiers. Or you cold make a fight between a huge horde of cold war Soviet soldiers against 2 big squads of 2035 NATO. It is fun to experiment with stuff like that. One thing I like to do, which is a little weird. Is Use Vietnam soldiers on European maps, role playing a "what if scenario" if during the 60s the US military went to war against the old soviets. It is a whole different experience than the 80s or 90s cold war militarys which are basically just a basic version of modern military.

It is the *_Sandbox_* part of ARMA that makes Arma great and why it has lasted and been loved for so long. The fact you can do literally anything you want, make any military fight whoever you want, wherever you want in the world, however you want, is the best part. It is also fun to have the American soldiers fight against the British soldiers. Or have the Russians fight against the Chinese. Or have the modern Germans fight against the modern Americans or British. These are things you can not do in almost any other game. But armas sandbox design allows you do do anything and play around with different ideas, even if they are weird and outrageous and very unlikely to happen. It is just cool to see a realistic game where the modern German military with their HK guns, G36s, MG3s(MG42s) go to war against the Americans with their M4s, saws, m240s, etc. These are scenarios you won't find in literally any other game. Arma is like a ocean, the amount content stretches very very far, and the things you can do with that content is like the depth of the ocean, it goes very very deep. Most games are one of the other, like either a large ocean that is only 2 feet deep or just a big swimming pool that is 1,000ft deep. Arma does both.

There’s one thing to emphasize about this game: its performance. It may run like shit, but it will never crash on you. This is purely anecdotal, but I have never seen any reports of ARMA randomly crashing unless it’s heavily modded with incompatible mods. There is no game more fun to play on 30 FPS than ARMA 3. I used to play on a shitty laptop and the fact that it runs no matter what is mind boggling

it had problems with memory leak a long time, but a modder managed to find the cause and fixed it, and bohemia integrated the modders code into the game. since then its rock stable. with todays cpus of latest generation consistent framerates of around and above 100fps should be possible. i can run it at 55-80 fps (depending on player count, map and how many shells and jets are in the air) with my overclocked 9600k. Thats good enough, so that the hitregs and lagtradekills concern you more, then the performance. ofc you need a decent enough grafics card, to run higher framerates. a 1070 or better should be fine for 1440p. Arma is one of theese games, that run better, if you DONT set all grafics settings to low. Its also one of those games that highly profit from fast responding RAM

Nothing beats the thrill of just making your own mission is the arma 3 editor and being impressed the AI does what you want but also being shocked when they surprise you

Few months ago, a few dudes from the unit, from South America came to visit Spain and stuff, and we managed to have 10 guys in the same bar. We were chatting about the OPs we did, etc. About how boring are the convoys, that time we saw an RPG fly over our heads and explode 10 meters away from us, and... this is a "meme" between us, the thing is, two grandpas came to ask us if we were real military and asked us where we were deployed, Afghanistan?

Man I was in the army for real, but it was Arma that gave me PTSD! xD jk, but yes, I often find myself sharing "war stories" from this game xD

My suggestion for anyone getting into this game would be to check out the zeus game mode. Currently in a couple of groups, one for example is set in a alternative African Kommandos universe with extensive written lore. Much fun to be had for the more serious types or the causal players.

A less-known but big side of Arma 3 are milsim clans. You don't HAVE to join one to play the game, but if you find a good clan that you enjoy playing with, Arma becomes a lot more engaging and fun

It must be said that the campaign worth it. There are 20 o 30 hours there, with a wide variety of operations (stealth, ambush, survival, urban firefight...). You control your team and you decide the way u face the situation... Is not the strongest point of the game but its the ****ing best campaign in a FPS

I remember this one mission in the campaign (its a side quest I believe) where you go out and get fuel for the FIA, and can either give it to miller to blow up a high ranking officer, or do what you were sent to do. I made the AI drive by the cistern in the military outpost whilst having this only AI squad engage in a firefight with the AAF, ejected, and got in the cistern snagging it. Pulling that off was immense joy and I kept giggling like crazy.

Proud to say I bought this game all the way back in Early Access, back in 2013 when it was just one island and a few units. I was 13 and I can remember the day my Uncle bought it for me. I'm now a 23 year old who still sinks in hours into this game. Nothing comes close! I'm so proud of what the game has become in 10 years and I can't wait for A4!

As someone with thousands of hours in Arma, I would recommend the gamemode "Antistasi Plus" to any new or veteran players alike. In summary it is a persistent gamemode in which you fight as local rebels against two major factions (in my case USA and Russia) who are also trying to take control of the island, and are fighting each other. Guerilla warfare, collecting weapons and gear, capturing outposts and recourses, buying stuff from the arms dealer and many many more interesting stuff. Each playthrough can last for weeks or months. Ideal gamemode for a few friends, every Arma 3 player should try it!

This is facts bro. I love sim games in general but I pretty much always come back to ARMA or Combat Mission (if I’m looking for some strategy action). Arma especially is just a one-of-kind game, you can easily get 1000+ hours of fun out of a $60 (if that) package. The sheer variety and level of content is just incredible. I’ve been playing ARMA since I was 14, in 27 now and I’ll still find a new server that brings up that childlike wonder and amazement when I find some new game mode or cool community. In an era where most games are just grind-fests I’m really thankful for our boys at Bohemia for not selling out and making games that prioritize the community.

Combat Mission was my “first true gaming love” before I met Operation Flashpoint in 2001 (i.e. now renamed to Arma Cold War Assault), and I’ve never looked back….although, coincidentally I just bought Combat Mission Cold War…though I’ve not played it yet

Arma 3 is just pure love mate.u just cant forget this game.i will always come back to play it after all these years

I use it to do SP missions with EDEN. I always wanted to make my own games but EDEN is like a small dev engine with extremely good user interface.

For the invade and annex part... I am very good at seeing the enemies... sometimes people actually shoot at ghosts or where an already killed unit is, wasting a full mag or even two sometimes before they realize they're not there anymore. To see enemies is something you can learn in Arma 3. Sometimes people hide very very well, but it will never be perfect to the point that you can't see them while they can. Arma 3 is the game that let's you do everything that has anything related to guns.

Appreciate that you covered Unsung, F/A-18 and SOG PF :) Thanks!

Played Arma 3 since 2017, I loved it and made a lot of memories

I'm a Pawnee pilot myself. I would _always_ choose the Pawnee, despite being completely outgunned by other stuff. Because it just feels so damn powerful to know that little bird in and out and _still_ be able to - ahem - pawn players in way better gear.

I have the same "blind to those that wish to hurt me" problem. I play squad and dayz a lot and when I team with others they always seem to easily spot and track enemies while all I see are trees. Some times I just die without even seeing where the bullets or enemies are and I am convinced that in squad the trees have guns. "Enemy, enemy! south west on the hil" "WHERE????" *we all die cause im blind*

As a greek person playing arma 3, it is very weird going around atlas seeing gyros stands, it just, feels like home man.

Apropos bullet pen. Was a real eye opener to see GarandThumb shoot various rounds through dry walls... Really great reminder why gun safety is so important. Even around the house. Especially around the house.

I got in on ARMA on arrowhead because of the Dayz mod, I was just waiting around for friends to play one night about 5 years after I started playing Dayz and decided to load up takistan life and got hooked instantly then that got me onto king of the hill and a lot of other modes in the game

A game has to be really special to have headache inducing lag and ai that shoot you poking their weapons through walls and ceilings, and still be worth 3000hrs of my time

just purchased arma 3 2 weeks still havent gotten around to play but when i do, boy do i know it will be good

just a suggestion when you make a video like this show us the list of Multiplayer Servers so we have an idea of how many people are playing

I'd like to add Antistasi to the mod list. There are official servers, but you can run one of your own, and its a challenging scenario where you play as a rebel against a corrupt regime and/or a foreign invader.

I have to say Skyrim and Fallout have the similar feeling where you can just mod it to hell but nothing comes close to arma running about 28 to 55 FPS just the variety and you can learn how different jobs I used to be on a Scout and mortor team in Arma

15:48 yup, when arma 4 comes out alll mods made for reforger will get ported. Meaning now people can learn how to code in enfusions and port their old mods to it so when the day comes they will be ready.

For seven years now i am a member of a "milsim"-clan. Every weekend we play our missions which can last longer than four hours. Every weekend for seven years and it never got boring. Every mission feels different because Arma 3 gives you endless options to play. It is by far one of the best games ever made, if not the best, despite its flaws.

Arma 3 is an amazing game, and will always hold a special place in my heart. It has such an amazing and active community and I love giving back to the community which is why I host 3 of my own heavily modded servers and it's just always a lot of fun when you get a good group together.

The clip from 0:31 is from strayagaming server right? I recognized that camo texture on the sleeve.

I think is funny how i play arma 3. I use the eden editor to create my own war history with always a perfect time line. It’s more like a role playing lol

1:23 The Island is called Limnos, been there twice just because of Arma 3. I can only recommend any Arma3 player to visit that Island

I like ArmA best when I play it as a squad command sim

Uni Payment as sponsored section got me😂😂😂

I brought this on a sale with a few expansions so I could play the overthrow map solo. *Which was fun till I hit some walls being a solo player* wasnt brave enough to enter any servers tbh.

14:36 where did you get the B-52? It looks like its from unsung but I havent played unsung in a bit and dont remember one

ARMA 3 will never leave my hard drive. It's one of those sims that a player will always go back to after being disappointed by some of these bogus new games that have come out. It's versatility is unmatched. You can make a valid awesome mission for yourself in 2 minutes in the editor, add on to it, make changes to it on the fly etc. The modding community is one of the best in the gaming world. Even a below average PC can play it and on a newer PC it runs in the hundreds of fps. Have been playing the ARMA series since Operation Flashpoint and continue to support its DLC and mod creators.

Once u start playing arma u know there is no coming back

I've been wanting to play this, is it single player as well? It looks fun

Omg I've played this so much. Even made a video with respectable numbers on it to, once I bothered lol. These days I play mostly Squad, however, because it's frankly just quicker to find a match. But I kinda miss KOTH tho. But they reset it, so I had to start the grind all over so I quit lol. Would've been fun to join a real hardcore milsim clan tho, but I could never find the time...

6:07 You just described my life 😢 (not that I'm 7 feet tall)

I went on holiday to the real Altis Island (Lemnos), just to see Arma 3 in real life! Now I have weird overlapping memories of the game Island and real life Island.. 😅

really love the video, shows exactly how great ArmA can be, but i gotta state one thing, as an ArmA 3 milsim and altis life enjoyer i gotta say idk what server you played on that you got RDM (random deathmatch) with people killing you with no roleplay whatsoever, theres usually rules for how you need and can kill people, and also just a protip: robbing stores is basically the worst way of making money in altis life servers ;P anyways, keep up the good work!

That's a common thing with Military Simulators, not being able to see the enemy. It's a real phenomenon too, watch any documentary from US Military Bases or Operations in Afghanistan or Iraq.

The arma reforger UI is so necessary tho !

My only problem is that its hard to get into actual good servers because they require extensive applications

ARMA Jank isn't the movement of the character. It's when, for instance, a vehicle hits a small bump in the road and the physics engine catapults it into oblivion.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT ARMA COLD WAR ASSAULT (operación flashpoint cwc)

I've heard of this and am considering buying it, little intimidated by the 500000 dlcs but idk if they're required at all.

I think arma 4 needs to incorporate arma 3s content, as getting people off 3 and onto 4, which would obviously launch with a severe content deficit vs 3, would be a hard sell.
