Almost 3000 hours later, and I still feel like there's so much I could still do... replayability and immersion with milsim is why Arma 3 is my favourite game of all time
Heh, yeah, only about 1k here, but I don't even feel I've learned to shoot properly yet.
Please tell me how do you deal with lag i have really good pc but still the game is laggy
Im at 3,635 with ArmA 3 + 2,822 ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead so I could have never Imagained I would find such replay value in a game such as ArmA we need ArmA 4.
@@DarkKnight-ke5bx Thats internet man you should always check how much PING a server has ! Where your playing from and where the server you want to connect to dictates your PING !
6000+hrs and still love it.
Why is Arma 3 so good?
*m i l l e r*
ADAMS NOO
MILLER BITCH! I'LL GET YOU!
This is Captain Scott Miller, Royal Navy. Next time, avoid broadcasting over the whole net soldier! We're consolidating our forces around Camp Maxwell. You're welcome to join us, if you can.
@@thomasgoldschmidt8611 This is Captain Scott Miller, Royal Navy. Come in, over.
Uh... receiving you, sir. Sergeant Lacey. Over.
Next time, avoid broadcasting over the whole net, soldier. We're consolidating the remnants of our forces around Camp Maxwell. You're welcome to join us if you want.
Yes, sir! Of course!
Not so fast! Altis Armed Forces have occupied Mike-26 and the Airbase. Meaning there's a sea of AAF units between you and us. I'm dispatching a team to rendezvous with you. Grid 0280something7, just East of Camp Tempest. Our callsign is Falcon. Make your way there. Over
ough, so true, LOL!
Best line ever: "ARMA 3 isn't your pickup-and-play kind of game. This is the Dark Souls equivalent of First Person Shooters, except it's a lot more glitchy. "
Actually makes a lot more sense
except arma is not a first person shooter. that is why their "competitive fps" never took off, it's garbage.
@@artiew8718 It is an fps
Or this one, I saw somewhere-
"Arma 3. You guys might not be ready for it. But your kids are going to love it."
How is it the equivalent of dark souls? This is in no way similar to dark souls.
The Editor and Zeus are what really make Arma 3 great. With Zeus, you can literally interact with players in real time and make them fight a "Real Enemy". For example, if they end up killing a patrol during an infiltration and 1 member survives, You can simulate him contacting with the radio and sending 2 other patrols to that zone in order to find the enemy. There are not a lot of games that let you really fight AI that responds to everything you do as they would in real life.
And about the Editor... well, I have done from Milsim Operations to Horror Missions. Eden Editor lets you do whatever mission you wish, via scripts, sounds, animations..... Literally everything you want your mission to be, it can be done
I try to tell people this and they dont get it.
Iv turned arma into a racing game.
I simulated an ailen invasion that sent a plague that turned everyone into mutants and zombies then sent robots in to exterminate the zombies, mutants and any survivor holding out before the ailens came down.
Iv simulated lots of fun shit and I really cant play a game as much as I can arma3...its action, adventure, horror, and everything in one...definitely a ground breaking formula, bigger then anything rockstar has done.
Wait wait horror missions? Can you list mods that add some scary units or anything related to scary
@@commissargab6181 Yeah of course, here you have some examples but im sure you can find way more mods:
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=501966277
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2262255106

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1556296528
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=596795522
And here I have a mission i created for my Milsim some time ago. We are spanish but you can get more or less the vibe of a horror mission in Arma. I highly recommend watching this specific parts: 26:15, 36:35, 1:06:20, 1:10:48

This is the game I dreamed of playing since long before computer technology was capable of delivering it. However, Arma can be the most frustrating and maddening game I have ever played. But that is in part because of what makes it sooo good. Arma 3 has capabilities which are far beyond any other game I have played and it lures me into trying to create ever more complex scenarios. Scenarios that are beyond even this game's capabilities (and mine as a mission maker). That and some of it's more infamous bugs ;-). With well over 4,000 hours of game play, I am still just scratching at the surface of what this game can do. The modding community is simply amazing. As much as I look forward to an Arma 4, I am happy to keep playing Arma 3 for many years to come.
This is the difference between Arma2 players and Arma3 players. Arma2 players knew that the next Arma would not have any content and be riddled with bugs and even worse performance while offering less incentive to change over. I wonder what happened to the underwater cringe that the developers tried to promote Arma with... completely abandoned. lol
1000 hour later, and never played multiplayer. Just leave me alone in my Editor!
I am at over 4000hrs 99% alone in editor
Amen to that!! The AI enemy puts up plenty of fight 😂
@@dustindonald9862 I think I want to commit a war crime because if the ai (when I'm done no war crimes will be done later cuz of the lack of population)
@sergeantmoo Yeah, set up different sides from bluefor and opfor, play as a side and fight the others. Should be a couple good example videos. I have some pretty awesome fights on my saved lists
Same man, same
The thing that kept me in Arma was the editor. I bought the alpha version which didn’t have any missions or campaigns and only two factions and very few assets. I discovered the editor and learned how to make missions and making use of the new assets as they were released. I cursed when BI changed the class names of vehicles and units and broke my missions, but then I just edited the mission.sqm file to fix them. Whatever BI do to break the game, there is always a workaround to fix it for simple missions like mine.
they should have used all the good stuff and made a dynamic war sandbox where you could just jump in at any moment.
@@LukeTEvans no because community members know the game and what works so much better than the devs. there are some really brilliant people who make things like DAC or MCC. nothing can fix the poor design of just loading everything into memory because everyone must know about everything. oh and don't get me started on in game voice chat performance. LOL fuck these people.
This channel is so underrated, keep on rising dude
It's truly unbelievable how much this American has improved!
Amen
What makes you think its underrated? Seems quite highly rated to me. Do you mean raw numbers? Quality is not defined by how popular it is. I mean, look how people like Cardi B.
Why because some people like different stuff? Guess I won't watch wouldn't want to learn about new things or maybe not like it 😂 you might be disappointed 🤣
Well unles he is James Charles his channel will only go UP! 🤣
I've always wondered why game studios never extend job offers to these amazing modders. Imagine how amazing Arma 4 would be if all the great modders, like the CUP and RHS teams and smaller ones like ANZACSAS Steven, were recruited onboard to assist in making Arma 4.
they make me install arma again.
It would probably get Arma 4 to best game of the year but you know they are greedy and don't wanna split money.
Bi has a few modders on their team.
Maybe modders already have a steady job
Actually, many of the employees at BI started as modders to the Arma series. There are still many working for the company today.
The editor is absolutely amazing, I can't describe how easily you can go in depth with the mission you create, it's just so intuitive. Plus the scripting makes literally anything possible. It's a gold mine for creativity. I've myself spent over 6 months (not every day but still a considerable amount of time) creating a single mission for a campaign I've planned. Well, my ambitions were a bit too large and I've given up finishing the missions, ended up making one mission and a half but I'm still pretty proud of them.
Don’t give up!! If having a YT channel has taught me anything, it’s that if you put love and passion into something you enjoy, people will love it too. It will be challenging to figure out how to make it work, but you know you can! And imagine how rewarding completing it will be!
@@Viper1Zero sir, your word really means a lot to me, indeed, making this campaign was above all, a great deal of enjoyment and fun, the creativity aspect of making the mission was amazing but...I must stay perfectly honest, work (mainly uni) kept me from having the time to enjoy and use arma 3 and its editor properly, and when I have a bit of time, another game that sparked my interest takes that time away: DCS world.
I must say that because I love planes, it takes the cake, but I am indeed sad that the editor is not on the same level as arma3.
But pretty recently, I have fired Arma 3 back up and I must say that it grew back on me.
I know I'll start working on these missions again, it's just a matter of when...
Also, as a matter of fact I wrote that comment because your video made me remember how much arma3 meant to me and still means to me.
In any way, thank you very much for that.
as a mission builder, I can say ArmA 3 is not just a game, it is a platform. I spend hours and hours every week just being in the 3D Editor making missions for my community to enjoy, ArmA 3 offers more than just fights, it offers chances for creativity with Zeus and 3den, it is just amazing.
14:32 I feel personally attacked.
Great video, you hit the nail on the head with why this game is still as active as it is.
If we could see an improvement in some of the communities and how they conduct themselves, this game could really be taken to the next level as we impatiently hope for Arma 4.
If they took ARMA 3 and shoved it into their new engine and called it ARMA 4, I'd buy it with out a blink! ARMA 3 is so good on so many levels.
I make myself missions, play some tactical barbie in the editor to trick out my squad then get hours and hours out of each mission. I'm no master mission maker ahha, I use Drongos mods to make my games and I LOVE IT!
3k + hours in and still fire it up a LOT. I'll for months of nothing but ARMA then dive off into a new game release for a bit but I always fall back on ARMA 3.
Love arma since i discovered it in 2007 with arma 1 (gold edition), am still playing it sometimes because it doesn't have arma 3 drawbacks, first played scenarios, then made mission and learned scripting, and last making addons to the game. Theses games are just unique. i'm never bored with it like other games. Am still making assets and remaking old mission from arma 1 to arma 3.
As you said making believeable addons is very hard, sometimes you have to start from scratch again because the result is not good enought, it happened to me with the mammoth, i spent lot of hours to build it (by the way thank you for putting it in your vidéo).
Keep going, your vidéos are greats :)
Thank for the feature on AEW man! Have to second what many over here say too: your subscriber count to videos' production value ratio is way too low. Keep up the great work! Your voice is really good and pleasant to listen to.
You make some great points. One issue we've run into re: support vehicles not being utilized is the limited amount of time you have to run an operation with 30+ people. You can get 2 to 3 hrs but after that you start losing people. Doing a full turnaround to repair, rearm and refuel a vehicle can take 15 or 20 minutes not including transit time to and from the battlefield. So on bigger maps you can spend 30-40 minutes or more trying to coordinate a turnaround on a vehicle, not including you briefing, gear up or deployment phases. While realistic its not really practical to do so. There are no solutions to the realism vs practicality so the best we've been able to do is come up with alternatives and compromises that keep the player base engaged and as happy as possible.
As a ex ArmA3 spec ops/fixed wing guy, unlike other games, which are action packed and will never be board. The time you put in training and standby are frustrating, but the 1 minute of perfect teamwork gives me all the satisfaction I need for the day.
Been playing since OFP in 2001 and never regretted it. The overall sandbox concept, the moddability and the immersion keep me playing - along with those gorgeous mods that offer so much more system depth and take away arcadey gameplay. :)
I can’t believe your channel has gotten 5 times bigger than when I started watching you. I absolutely love your content man!!
Hi, Flash-Ranger speaking.
I added a thumb up for the following reasons :
- Clear and concise overview of the current status
- Structured and yet diverse topics covered
- Fantastic criticism of the vanilla content while still discretely showcasing mods
- Steady and understandable speaking not making me want to sleep
- Optimistic and productive view of the current game while still looking ahead an suggesting a next opus.
We community veterans will definitely share more of your content. Good job.
I give this comment a heart for the following reasons:
- Excellent points
- Positivity towards vanilla assets
- Giving me warm and fuzzies knowing I'm doing something right
Arma includes my best memories of my life along with mature friends with different viewpoints and abilities. I'm always learning in Arma, and although I'm not knowledgeable of Eden & Zeus, I again experience my best moments along my friends who have always great ideas to run campaigns.
Great video. I've got 3.2k hours and I agree with all your points. Particularly with your opinion of the 2035 assets. They really grew on me too and now the 2035 setting is extremely interesting to me. I wouldn't be dissapointed at all if BIS expanded on the setting in the next Arma game.
They just need a better engine that's all, the game is too good !!!!
I mean it is a good as they could get for time and I accept that however a touch up would be appreciated
They have better engine, but the company is horrendously mismanaged
Imagine an Arma engine that could handle hundreds of AI units smoothly. Imagine the large scale scenarios you could make.
Imagine real time destruction so u could blow up entire buildings
The thing with the DLCs is that you already get some of its content for free when they release but some people think you still need to buy the DLC to use a certain item, like the contact DLC where the woodland combat fatigues for NATO have the contact dlc watermark but when you put it on, it doesn’t have the watermark smeared on your screen and you don’t get an ad.
Amazing video. Awesome job dude im subbed keep pumping out great content like this. It's like a real world documentary. Bravo 👏 👏
Wow what a great video. So well put together. Nice one!
Yet another great video Viper. Really appreciate what you do mate!
Amazing channel man, very good content, your mod list helped me a lot. Keep rising my dude.
Very nice video. Very thorough. Very nice and it’s obvious you have a lot of experience in the game and you’re reviewing based on experience. Amazing review.
Just yesterday we were playing Antistasi with five friends. I was manning a drone, three were assaulting a town, and far away we had a guy operating a mortar.
I gave orders to the assault team and informed them of the threats going towards them. Those three ended up fending off a force fifteen times their size. The mortar provided support and we got the upper hand through clear communication, sensible use of fire support, and teamwork.
After that we kinda forgot all about tactics and zerg rushed an AAF base to farm armored vehicles. We got some good Greenback loot out of it, and changed the balance of power between our forces.
I don't know of any game that gives this experience.
I have thousands and thousands of hours and still haven't touched the editor or milsim.
This game is great. I still hate bohemia though because I have put thousands of hours into Dayz.
Great video man.
Exact opposite for me. 1000 hours and never touched multiplayer or milsim, only the Editor!
@@giu6525 same the editor is all I do lol, I can spend two hours making any squad I want
milsim is kind of bleh tbh. You should give the editor a try because that's where the beauty of arma lies, the rest is a nightmare.
I have almost 1400 and 95% of that is in wasteland servers online. Never touched editor or milsim.
@@giu6525 ikr ill admit I'm young and VC is srsly toxic to kids kinda sad and milsim takes to much time editor is a fun cool and no people needed
Fantastic work. Great video. We're still playing Arma 3.
ISG Exile - Return to Altis
Awesome video as Always keep up the good work 👌
The most beautiful channel related to Arma3, go on! I think that the bundle (Arma3 + Arma3 mods) will be out of competition with other shooters, for many years to come, I'm happy because the A3 exists!
Arma 3 is been big part of my life, and it had helpt me go forward in hard times like this 2020, I love what Arma still is for everyone. its game that has done big work to keep US happy
I wish you wake up one day and say Arma 3, Arma 4 and Arma 5 have been a big part of my life just like OFP, ArmA, Arma 2 and Arma 3 have been for mine. It's the best feeling ever. It defines who you are as a gamer.
As an hardcore fan of the "original Arma", Operation Flashpoint, having spent a lifetime replaying the campaign, downloading assets and mods, and creating my own campaign on that game, i am truly proud to see what Arma has become and proud of Bohemia Interactive.
Great work man, and i seriously hope that you and the community can keep Arma alive as long as possible.
3D editor and Zeus, were probably the biggest game changers for Arma 3. Without those, I don't think the game would have had such staying power.
Both of those, interestingly, were projects lead by Karel Mořický!
What great timing.. Just booted Arma 3 for the first time since 2016 and I'm having a blast!
I want to second your mention of finding people with similar interests, because I found a ton of awesome fighter jet nerds on your discord. Plus many servers are very friendly, and don’t care that I’m bad.
SG player.. playing with a small US/UK squad since 6 yrs ago.. and once in a while, a japanese coop server...
It's been a real experience...
Can't wait till you hit 1 million subs bro, you deserve it!
I still have thousands of hours left to juice out of this game! I’ve played for 700 hours and all of it was just single player Zeus and eden lol
No, hundreds of thousands
I have like 650 hours, same I don't touch multiplayer i just make my own scenarios and its to much fun
@@thatruderanger2954 i touched multiplayer at 1000 now im at 3000
@@unopposedrabbit1234 damn, i gotta try multiplayer
@@thatruderanger2954 yea u should go join a team
played since flashpoint lol love arma! and this was a great video too, well done!
nice review, it really sells the game. i haven't played arma for years now, mainly because there wasn't any good multiplayer content. roleplay/koth/wasteland servers were dominant, and they were not really my thing. got bored of coop too. i wish the Project Reality type missions were popular in arma, i believe there were just 2 servers running it. so in 2015 squad was released and i haven't really looked back.
One of my favourite things... Bohemia itself!, I have twice made suggestions for things I thought would be easy to impliment and would improve the game, and had them turn up in game on the next update, I've never encoutered any other software where that happends.
I LOVED Arma III ...played few hundred hours and spent tons on time in the editor. But since I play exclusively in single player, the AI just burned me out day after day until the day I stopped playing. I am playing the serie since Operation Flashpoint, so yeah I am an older dude. I feel like the AI never change since that release. Put a strong AI in Arma III and this game would be a second life to me. If Arma 4 ever shows up, please Bohemia rethink that AI system entirely and use the environment as much as you can :) Great video Viper1Zero ... amazing actually!
I feel that arma developers are cooking something
I feel it in the air.
I believe they are working on the enfusion engine for Arma4, and publishing new DLC's
headed our way from a couple of mod teams.
Its meth
@@Gunter_Severloh no, they are working on trying to milk the battle royal craze and expand their studio. they see arma as a success and have no reason to improve it. if you know their history, they are very lazy and don't believe in aggressive change. the only reason they aren't broke is because there is no other game with such a scope. they don't make dlc, they just hire 3rd party to make them.
@@artiew8718 They did just release a 1.6gb update to the game, with new content, and i guarantee theres more dlcs on the way i know of one personally that will be a third party dlc from a major mod team.
You've been playing Arma how long and been on the home forums how long?
You'd be hard pushed to believe Arma 3 was any good at all from all the bitching and whining that goes on the Arma3 Facebook page. Constant banging on about "Where's Arma 4?". We all know that within no time after Arma 4 being released those same people would start the same complaints all over again and start asking about Arma 5!
I've been playing the series since the Operation Flashpoint demo first appeared on magazine cover disks back in 2001 (RIP PC Zone) and it's still the game I keep coming back too despite all its little idiosyncrasies.
The good ole days. OFP was way, way ahead of its time. 2 years before Call of Duty and its criminal how under the radar OFP flew until people started wanting hardcore combat sims. I'm just grateful it took off at all, it seems the sim world has always been super niche.
Oh God yes, the idiots on Facebook 😂
Same, I played the original Operation: Flashpoint Cold War Crisis demo for at least several hundreds of hours thanks to the generous inclusion of a rudimentary version of the now famous scenario editor. I tried downloading it from a website on a 56 kbps dial-up modem connection but ended up having to wait for the PC Gamer magazine issue for its demos disc in order to successfully download and install it. That demo changed my life and blew my mind, I cannot wait for Arma 4 and I wish Bohemia Interactive infinite success! :D
you are a sadomasochist, that's why you keep coming back to the thing that tortures you mostly but gives you that little ounce of satisfaction every now and then.
i dont see why they should make arma 4 right now i mean the game holds up too this day everytime they make a sequal it pushes the game way a head the game dosent need too updated it still looks like 2020 game
Just finally got the game. loving it. nice video mate.
Enfusion (Arma 4's engine) is still being worked on. Can't wait for the performance boost, bug fixes, and other core flaws caused by the engine and its systems. I can't wait but want them to not only produce a good engine but also good base game content.
Good video. I love carts though. its fun to mess with and the starter pistol is one of the best side arms in the game.
Thanks for the cool overview and your reflection on Arma 3. We love seeing this type of content and reading the stories in the comments below o7
Thank you. You just made me start playing it again after a while i stopped and i had a blast
Whenever I play any other FPS or milsim game, I inevitably compare it to ARMA 3 and sadly, so far none has given me the joy and excitement the ARMA universe delivers. The immersion with the ARMA series of games is unique.
8bit dane Couldn’t agree more! I do the same thing!
I feel you about the CSAT helmets (which I myself like.) It looks ridiculous, but maybe that’s part of the point. Like the smiley face on a cobra’s hood
For me its that I can create detailed and complicated missions with epic scripts in any theatre of war with my freinds in a realistic and andvanced combat environment
ahhh i still remember doing missions in OFP , basically two squads chargin each other lol but it worked !!!! and with the mods at that time it was a new game every time you played it , and the campaings at that time i´ve never played anything like that before , i still remember playing as the resistance in the Ambush mission setting up in less than 3 minutes!!!! the AI of that time lol,
anyways great vid mate!!!! ARMA 3 is still , with is bugs and all , is not the game it is THE GAME!!!
Gonz Alc OFP was great! Talk about a wonky game haha. But it was so effectively simple and worked like a charm at the same time.
@@Viper1Zero true ah we need more games like that simple but powerful and with the just amount of eye candy lol
i got this game when i first came out when i was 12 and went through my teen years playing it and have now over 3000 hours on it, i have made life long friends and memories i will never forget, now im 19 and dying to get arma 4 . Maybe one day we will get it.
Keep going bro!! 💪🏻
Greetings from 🇩🇪
Zeus and editor where you can make your own missions. Not to mention mods that can make your game even better. The amount of things you can do in ARMA is just amazing. First that got me into series was Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis. The whole map is open to you to complete your mission and you can replay it all over again, finding new ways to complete it or try different choices that hold different endings or impact on campaign. If you have money it is worth it to buy. But if you are a bit short just wait for sale, i got it on sale with Apex edition, and i have no complaints it is worth it.
Thanks for mentioning my mod. Greatly appreciated! Awesome video =)
Thank you for all you've given the community!
Amazing vid you earned a sub
arma3 is still a awsome sandbox game
even though you don't play multi player or mission, like I play toy soldier in childhood and image they fight. I play 1500 hours with more than 900 hours in eden editor place stuff and making my own base. And I really like your channel,keep it up!
Always looking forward to the Content.
I joined Arma 3 this year, I’ve already watched almost every Arma video I could find before having the game and as beginner myself I can only say that I already played 500 hours and I’m still not bored the game is just soooo AWSOME
Bohemia is secretly playing ArmA 4 on all end PCs (low,med,high) and getting stable 60fps - 100fps while enjoying amazing, almost human like ai, on big ass maps with modern time assets.
Truth be told,I was always sold on ARMA,and your vid just sold me more on it!
And btw,thanks for your service and stay safe!
I WANT Arma 4, but I'm still in love with Arma 3. Always thinking of new ideas to cobble into another scenario in the editor.
11,670 hours in the game and I still find myself wanting to come back to this game can’t wait for arma 4 and also the amount of mods that turn this game into a completely game are insane. The mods such as some of the star wars ones and the halo ones are insane. I’ve mostly moved on from video games but it keeps drawing me back to hang out with old unit friends or hop on to play some slightly toxic but amazing rp 😂?
Your cinematographies are incredibly impressive. The game is fun, no doubt, but you are certainly elevating the content to another level.
Truly appreciate the kind words, thank you. :)
I've always loved playing these Bohemia games all the way back from Operation Flashpoint , to now with ARMA 3.
Well said and well done with this video!
This is, by far, thee best game to play. So much you can do with this game. Forever play ability. Mods, mods, mods. I've spent hours upon hours in the editor creating. The weapons, the vehicles, the chaos so intense. Thank you Bohemia for giving us this ultimate experience. I pray you make the right choice and continue the Arma series. We NEED Arma 4!!! Shout out to Viper1Zero for making this video and showcasing this fantastic game. Arma 4 life!
Currently on 1.1K hours and I have no plan on stopping any time soon. I found a unit I love, I consider those people my friends more then people I know IRL. Hell, I am currently spending about 500+ dollars on a PC simply for Arma... ArmA is a game that seems like it evolves around and tailors simply to its playerbase, which makes it thrive. Its not like EA's games or CoD where the creators only care about making as much money as possible, even if it completely ruins a game/franchise.
I've spent most of my play time in the editor. Making up different stories and scenarios even putting map symbols when I don't really have to just for maximum immersion and role playing. It's basically playing with toy soldiers but for adults.
Arma 3 was and still is a great game but in 2020 i hardly play it =( Love the video! Keep on the good work!
I have been a console player my entire life over 30 years of being a gamer. However I must say I was shocked my new laptop runs this game and I do not plan on going back to consoles. My best friend is a IT guy and will build my pc for me for free as long as I supply the parts. Don’t hesitate to try this game even in 2021. This is game that makes you think and plan. No run and gun like COD.
No Matter how burned out you get, there's always something to bring you back
Every. Damn. Time.
Arma 3 and Tarkov
My go to relaxing games.

This is probably my favorite game.. I get into it for a few weeks then leave it for a bit, but I always come back. I've spent by far the most hours on this game according to steam, almost by double. There is just so much to do in this game, and if I had to purchase it again, I would.
Now just try to imagine how it feels to have seen ARMA become what it is ever since the very first days of OFP - what a fantastic and wonderful journey !
Been here myself since the Flashpoint demo back in... 2001? Holy hell! :D Mods + editor + coop + zeus + whatever you want Arma has it :D
Have been here since the beginning as well, received OFP from my uncle back in 2002 for Christmas and that was the beginning of a long journey with Bohemia. Such fond memories.
Good video...and totally agree with all the things you pointed out. At 7000 hours I came around to REALLY appreciate the vanilla game. If you take a look at what the US army is developing in terms of individual weapons and vehicles, Arma 3 is not that far. Sure, if you wanna be really picky NATO is missing a true heavy attack "choppa" like the Mi-48 Kajman...but hey..perfections is not easy to achieve. Moreover, if at 50+ a game is still keeping me an active gamer it must be something good!LOL
3:39 sent chills down my back
13:13 what is the name/mod for that F-35 looking jet? Didn't know modded jets also have VTOL capability
What ArmA series needs, is a killer tune like BF1942 or UnrealTournament 1999.
It's really a AAA title with great lengths of depth. And the fact that its an old school developer, allowing you to mod it in so many ways, just blows my mind.
Hope they're working on ArmA4, they've been silent for quite a while.
I do agree with you that the base game is amazing as is, mods are the game changers that arma needs, but arma can stand by itself with pride.
But, the only thing I've always hated about arma, is the sounds. Sound design to me is extremely important, it sets the feeling of the game for me. Hence why squad will always have me hooked.
But, with the jsrs sound mod alongside the enhanced soundscape, that fixed that for me. If I were the play just the base game, those 2 mods would be all that's needed to keep me there.
Great video, really shows how big Arma 3 actually is.
Nice vid dude
Because it’s a napoleonic era to 2035 war game, just wish there was more WW1 stuff than the remembrance mod, best thing i can think of is Forgotten Fronts for its Adrian helmets and some uniforms that look like poilus and german trench coats, and Northern Fronts for its stahlhelms and other ww1- ish style uniforms as well. I LOVE THIS GAME
WOW, even if thousands of us as "armahoilcs" already know what u stated, but the way u r putting it is just so magnificently brilliant and smart, now I do really regret my Arma3 version lost in a hard disk failure couple of years ago...I spent tons of hour editing and making scripts, of course after watching really long tutorials....Now I have to learn it again, but do u think that Arma3 Contact worth it or iust the Apex version will be enough?!!
I remember the wait for a sequel to OFP. I've grown up with this game since 2002/3 and it's been a massive part of my life. If Arma 4 doesn't come out for ten years it wouldn't bother me, Arma 3 already does things you couldn't do in other games, but I wish it had some competition.
I couldn't agree with you more, my friend. I too grew up with OFP (and was blown the hell away back then), I never stopped loving Bohemia and what they've given us. So hell yeah, if ArmA 4 doesn't come out for forever, or even at all, I won't be mad. Cause we've got ArmA 3.
A simple way to put it, Once you play arma basically every other game you play will be ruined. Every game you play all you will think is "Its not as good as arma in the old days". Ive been playing arma since early 2018 and that "arma addiction" is a pain, few months not playing the game and out of nowhere your playing it 10hrs a day again. So many good memorys of this game and met some amazing friends.
Great video Viper. Just out of curiosity; If an Arma 4 ever came to be, when and where would you like to see it played out and of course who would be the major players?
Thank you! I appreciate it. That's a really good question. I would have to say I'd like a setting similar to ArmA 3. I really dig the Greek setting and aesthetic. Maybe something a little more beautiful within the Aegean Sea, like Santorini. I'm a sucker for pretty water if you couldn't tell. Factions wise, I think a more blended NATO instead of just US troops and 2 Brits would be cool. As for OPFOR, I think China would be a good match. I know China is involved in CSAT, but not as prominent as I'd like given how much of a superpower they are.
Another great one 👍🏼
Viper1zero is back :)
Any knowledge on any optimization mods or bohemian interactive doing anything, would love to actually use my PC's hardware and get good fps.
15:05 I think I may have taken part in the bit, it recognise the terrain and vehicle positions. Was that a Invade and Annex game by any chance?
Nope, just some assets I put together for the shot in the video :)
Never played ArmA,but as a Czech person,I feel very proud.
Coming up on 4k hours, taught many how to play, and led many more to the battlefield. If only Arma 3 would utilize all of my cores and run smoothly with heavy missions. I would pay a pretty penny for another major performance update.
You should make a video on launcher and in-game settings for better optimization without losing details, specially for someone who wants to make awesome cinematics as yours.
I've had ArmA 3 for over a year and only really played online KOTH occasionally, didn't really get anything else. Just today I discovered the editor and then workshop scenarios, I'm still a complete noob but today I realised how great this game really is. Even though I'm yet to experience 99% of it, I can completely understand why people rack up the thousands of hours playing.
