Arma 3 is so much fun. I've been doing Screenshots, Eden Missions, Zeus Missions or just being an infantry man with a group of guys in my unit. It's taught me a lot of stuff as well, it truly shows how war doesn't choose it just takes. I once tried to take a mortar position with my squad and as I was moving positions I got hit by an 80mm round. I talked to the zeus after the operations and he told me the AI launched it at least 30 seconds before I started to move.

I stopped playing video games in like 8th grade, except for arma 😎 that’s when I started arma. I might not pick it up for months at a time but I always come back. Such an amazing game. People who know me irl are always surprised when they find out I’m a nerd 😨

Amazing vid, I feel like it reinforces the point of how expansive Arma 3 is when even a segment just talking about different experiences in the game only scratches the surface of what players have had during an operation. The limitless opportunities of combat, roleplay, supply, support, art and lore that is available in arma is just so vast it always kills me. ( Also thanks for showing one of my screenshots!!!!!!❤❤❤)

Y'know, I bought Arma 3 around 2018 just to play with a friend without much thought of what the game really was. I'm almost 6500 hours in, this is easily the best game I've ever played with the best community I've had the pleasure to be a part of. and you sure as hell are my favorite media creators in the Arma 3 community :D

Arma's lore is fantastic I love every bit of the main campaign and I absolutely adore the Contact Campaign.

This is one of the best KZread videos I have ever seen. Great work!

As a active arma 3 player with almost 10k hrs... PRO tip... Put a silencer on a TRG -21 with a LRPS. ANd you have a sniper with amazing accuracy up to 1500m.

2,500+ hours in and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. I bought it in 2016, found out my computer could barely run it vanilla, uninstalled and didn't touch it again until May of 2020. Since then, I've been hooked. Getting the chance to meet hundreds of amazing people in the community with the same, nerdy passions, learning how to actually put together a scenario with a functioning objective, and participating in any role as part of a massive scenario has been some of the highlights of my Arma 3 experience. Nothing like LARPing as SF, working as part of a weapons crew, or pounding the earth beneath as infantry in mass assaults to iron out one's day. And guys like you are pretty nifty, I can't tell you how many mods I've found 'cause of you. Stay based.

Not a big gamer, being that I am a retired U.S Army combat veteran turned 18x, I was 'in a sense' institutionalized in Afghanistan. This game is the only thing stopping me from going rogue back in Afghanistan. I miss combat. While games like this mess with the weak-minded adrenaline going, it keeps me calm.

I just enjoy coming home from work and jumping into Eden Editor and playing. Lately I've been flying a F/A-18 off a carrier and doing SEAD missions. I would place like 5 SAM sites surrounded by Tigris and have to go in and take out and much as I can. Of course, I place ally infantry and tanks to help ;)

I have +8 years and +1,000 hours of game time playing ARMA 3 and I feel like I still haven't got tired of it. Best sim ever.

I personally think Arma 3 and its main DLCs are worth full price, but not everyone can afford that so the frequent sales they go on is great. I've had so much fun over the years both in single player and in co-op in just the vanilla game and there's so much more to be had with mods. I think Arma 3 will be a must have even after Arma 4 releases

Arma 3 is the only game where you can play like SQUAD, EFT, COD and War thunder

I've bought ArmA 3 on sale, after my friend from Iran recommended me this game via Discord. He also taught me how to play the game by making me play to beginner server. And then I am capable to play on more serious servers where lone wolfing is quite discouraged and limited choice of weapons. I am truly amazed with this game, along with its community. It is just unfortunate I can't play with him anymore because he has to fight indirectly against his own country and western media propagandas.

Yeah, I've got over 300 subscribed mods. Am I an addict? Probably. Don't sell yourself short, though. Your visuals are awesome.

i love the zombies and demons mod. i like creating scenarios where the us army is defending a HQ while being overrun by zombies

arma 3 and payday 2 are 2 of my fav long lasting fossils cant see myself letting go of either till something better comes along

when i first bought arma in late 2018, i played it every night for 3 months straight

I have 967 hours logged on Steam in ARMA3 alone. Plus about 120 in the legit steam version of ARMA2. About 99.5% of it is singleplayer sandbox fucking around, campaigns or missions. Sadly i can't run it well enough to play multiplayer and most teams who would welcome me to ZEUS were US based, so not in my timezone. I hope to be better prepared for ARMA 4!

Well I currently do run it at max, and I maintain a healthy 60-80 FPS most of the time. Given how A3 is coded and optimized there’s not really much you can do except lessen the amount of assets/AI running around causing calculations. The engine just isn’t built for great performance with a lot going on, unfortunately. And no I don’t use any performance mods, only visually enhancement I use is Reduced Haze mod by ANZACSAS Steven to make the game more vibrant.

Bin gaming all my life just got on pc two weeks and I must say arma is absolutely mental definitely the best..

I am looking forward to this title. I am new to PC gaming. So just sticking my toes in. So far, I just have BF3 ' Nostalgia reasons ' and Hell Let Loose. I want this and Squad but I fear that 1, my rig might not be able to run it well enough to make it half as beautiful looking but also...I am going to suck hard with it, due to me NEEDING to use K&M to play them. I still use controller for BF3 and HLL and they work good with it but I have a feeling that Squad and ARMA are two different beasts when it comes to that. Which sucks, because in BF3 and 4 on consoles, I LOVED flying...especially the transport helicopters...but there is just no way that I would get use to flying them with keyboard and mouse...

Art of War and anything else like it from other devs was hands down the coolest thing a developer has ever done for a game in the entire history of gaming. A true tip of the hat to those who support their business. Respect

Outstanding video….as usual! Arma is the greatest! Thanks Viper! In my 3,500 hours on Arma3 I’ve been at turns obsessed with vanilla SP campaigns, DRO, Warlords, Invade & Annex, KOTH, Liberation, Mike Force, mission making and even trying to make my own map and custom objects….and I still feel like I’m not even 1/2 through! 😂

I would have to say after putting 2k hours in A3, this will forever be my “hometown” when it comes to shooter games. My “hometown” for all games would be Pokémon Emerald

I'd say It would still be worth it in 2042. This game is truly waaaay ahead of its time. Just like Star Wars battlefront 2 was in 2005

Completely agree with this. I'm hoping, really really hoping Arma 4 is going to be just as great possibly better but I have doubts. It's a tall order and after playing reforger I have even more doubts. My expectations is Arma 3 with a lot better AI and graphics the same level or better than Red Dead 2. Given the broad hardware they're targeting and the devs would have to basically recreate Unreal engine 5, I honestly think it's a step to far for them. Arma 3 could be the pinnacle of the franchise and you know what, that would not be a bad thing. Sure it would be nice for a better version, but if its a flop, we have near perfection now, thankyou modders.

arma all games is love the freedom of choice they given to us is amazing arma frachise is my crush everything

The graphics, visuals and gameplay has aged like PEARLs and DIAMONDs. Although, imo there's still a serious lack of missions and scenarios from the developers. I'm gonna hate it when ARMA 4 is out cause it'll be Arma 3, day one, all over again.

Arma 3 is a masterpiece. One of my friends that was reluctant in the past to try it recently got into it and got instantly hooked. You put it well in that Arma 3 is one of the most unique, engaging and unforgettable gaming experiences you can have.
