Having seen many TH-camrs who "deserve more subs than they have", I can safely say that you sir, deserve a larger following than you have. The real question is if we deserve you. Great videos on all fronts. Content, presentation, script, resources, everything. Love your work, I have a feeling that if you keep it up, we will be hearing about you daily. Also, thanks! Arma had me absolutely dazed and confused but you have shed light on everything!
It’s game breaking, all I want is to play coop with my buddy and if I don’t figure out how to play on a server with him tonight I may never touch arma again
I just bought the game last night and literally have no idea what to do. Messed around with bootcamp, learned a bit, and then don't know what else to do. This is very needed thank you good sir.
I downloaded ARMA 3 without having ever played the first 2. Soooo naturally one comes here to you tube to check out a "how to play" vid. I saw a few that will help down the road. But to just get started? None until I watched this vid. Easy peasy to say the least. I'll be coming back here for more tips not just for ARMA III but for any game in the future. Great job.
This is awesome man I've wanted arma 3 for fkn years now and finally got it today so this was helpful af I hope this game can exceed my expectations of it
@@cayo2031 ayo do u know any discord to play on servers and im buying it probably too can we might play togehter or could i get ur discord so we could help eachother?
downloading this game now since it went on sale, glad to find a short how to get started. I just found out all my flight sim gear should work with this game and saw it for under 10 bucks so it was a no brainer to grab it. Ive always wanted to try arma but until i played squad i didnt have much interest in mil sim games, after seeing how much time gets put in by the community though i think its worthwhile to finally check it out.
I just got it last week. Im coming from flying in bf4, wanted to get into dcs but decided to stop by arma otw. It took me 32 hours to figure out how to accurately drop a GBU
Thanks very much for all of the basics....I was completely stopped.....could not even figure out how to fire the weapon! You have helped me immensely and I do appreciate your clear and concise help! Thanks again!
Great video that I wish I had existed when I first bought arma I know that lots of people have commented on how many subscribers you are missing but honestly, I feel like you deserve at least 100k, if not more. What a new player could get out of this is and do fairly easily would be the tutorial and showcases, and maybe the "virtual" training but i feel like doing the other 2 first would help learn them faster. Also unless I have bad memory you should of mentioned using the editor to experiment with things that you want to learn instantly, like just spawning in a sniper and a target to practice zeroing targets faster for example. And just like languages, arma is the easiest to learn from a long time player. And joining a unit helps too depending on how they work. (Training sessions? Players happy that are happy to help?) 7:25 Hey it's that music from the crane game that everyone played and forgot about in 2013
Cheers just bought this...had to edit this to say you are seriously a legend with this video. Hopefully I run into some people like yourself. I'm the same on youtube as steam for a name if I run into you buddy.
I just purchased the game, went on boot camp and single player (I haven't finished it yet) Immersion in this game is awesome. Butttt the mine bruhhh I didn't expect the Sgt to blow up infront of me. Effing PTSD
THANK YOU! Totally needed this. Haven't played in years, wanted to get into SOG Prairie Fire and I'm like "I have no idea how to even shoot or move now and how come I can't find myself on the map?!?" :)
@@nannertime Id love an intro to the BASIC mods: if I just started ARMA, what are 5-6 basic mods I should try. For example, what is ACE, what does it really do, etc. Where do I go to find reviews of mods and explanations, good lists of mods, etc. There's probably 20 good mods I should try, but just picking a few and explaining them would be really helpful.
@@Senor0Droolcup I will send you a list in the next day or two and I will make a video to accompany it later. ACE is huge! That in itself is many mods. The best place for mod info at this tjme is the Steam Workshop mod pages unfortunately. I want to solve this problem. It is why I am making videos and mod collections. Stay tuned for more.
Here's a list of 8 mods that I would start with. The list shows more than 8, but many of them are just files that make thebmods compatible with each other. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2812768881 ACE mod is huge. Read the mod page for more info. The other mods includes better NVGs and IR lights, a better inventory UI, realistic recoil animations, a quick and easy random mission generator (scenario) and a mod called Help Me for when weird thing shappen or you want to experiment
Getting arma 3 this week/ before Christmas, looking forward to playing it and having a good tactical shooter game for once instead of cod with unrealistic scenarios and too much try hards
I’ve been wanting to play arma3 for years since it first came out and now it’s installing it took me awhile to figure out how to uninstall a few things to get enough data to do it but I did it
Just found your videos and Im spending the day going through them. Very well presented and very clear for myself as a noob. Can you let me know which mods you are using, so I can do the same please. My confession; Bought the game, dived right in and loaded up EVERY mod I could find to see what would happen...of course, it crashed 🤣So, stripping it down to start again,
Kinda late to the vid but ill go ahead anyways! Thanks a lot for your help i recently got arma with the sale and just have been binge watching all types of videos about arma to learn a bit more about it and the only problem im running into is multiplayer since i have practically no idea where to begin, as in where to get started should i get mods and try servers with mods?(Seeing most servers run mods now) or where do i find servers with usermade gamemodes? Other than that arma has been loads of fun finished the campaign and the tutorials and even some workshop scenarios for SP and enjoyed them a lot. Anyways, thanks for the begginer guide helped a lot!
I've seen you mention mods a lot. How important would you say they are? Is it viable at all to play without mods at first and maybe ease into them over time, or would you say that mods are just so important that I have to install some essential ones right away?
You can absolutely play without mods. Most people start this way. If you notice a missing feature that most other modern FPS games have, there is probably a mod for it though. The first one you will notice is that there is no way to jump or climb (you can vault but it is BAD). Feel free to check out my mods videos...such as this one th-cam.com/video/kJWQp3GN8CY/w-d-xo.html. If you want to jump get the enhanced movement rework mod
1 Getting game modes for solo or coop with a friend. That will not take hours to complete or to be created in Zues. 2 The esse of just playing solo or coop. I am not referring to difficult game play, I am referring to the hoops to jump through just to attempt to coop. 3 The mod were you have to use the range finder to snipe. But it is still to complex for my casual ass.
Check out my Quick Play mod collection in the Steam Workshop. Its full of quick and randomized mission for small groups You can use rangefinder in the vanilla game
Thank you for making this video! I just got Arma 3 today and I was so frustrated about how to actually get into gameplay. When I went into quick play I either got kicked from the game because it said I needed to restart it because of BattleEye and also sometimes there won’t be any servers to play with other people. How can I fix this? Thank you.
Definitely, confirm that BattleEye is turned on from the Arma 3 Launcher. If that is already on, go to the BattleEye website and reinstall BattleEye per their troubleshooting instructions
Good video mate. Is it possible to change the camera modes as a gunner in vehicles? I don't want to use nvgs while being a gunner in vehicles and would like to be able to use the in IR or white/black hot mode. Thanks
Bro i bot this game in 2017, i played several missions of the campaign, and 20 hours of KOTH. I get on and off because its just so confusing. Optimazation is terrrible but there really is nothing like it so i keep coming back to it for more head scratches than i care to admit. I have no friends who play this either.
It's such a pain isn't it? If your friends can't see your hosted server, watch this: th-cam.com/video/rjX9hBrOaOM/w-d-xo.html If you're looking for an easy to jump in scenario that is actually fun, try: Ground Breach: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1651659727 Escape: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1093996668
Hey I’m new to the game and was wondering if I should just use text chat instead of voice chat, because I’m not really comfortable with talking to strangers lol
I built my friend a pc and am trying to get him into arma 3, we play tons of shooters like ground branch and he knows commands its just the sheer amount in this game is overwhelming even after 5 years lol
Yeah. The key is to start small. And be patient. Focus on one thing at a time. Just like in real life military training. And you don't have to learn everything. Just learn what you want.
The biggest issue I have I spawning into a map away from my team. How do I spawn in near them? Also, why can’t I spawn a vehicle or aircraft when I spawn into the map? Very frustrating
Hey dude. I played this game for a while, and now I'm wondering if it's worth buying official dlc (and which ones)? Or is it better to find something in the workshop?
If you haven't found a reason already to buy a DLC, I would skip the DLC and just do the workshop. You will know if you want or need the DLC, that's when you know you need it. Otherwise, I recommend against it
@@nannertime I’ve bought tac ops dlc and now i don’t know is it worth to buy helicopters dlc for example? Or tanks dlc ? I like scenarios and campaigns and dont rly want to go to any servers . As far as I know these dlc are good, but the reviews in steam are mostly bad, so I'm a little confused
The DLC is lot of money for what you get. Tac Ops is fun because it gives some high quality missions For helicopters, you only get 2 helis and a showcase for sling loading. You can see a full list of DLC and what they offer as premium content by Pressing Shift+P in-game or visit this website and click into each DLC community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Arma_3:_DLCs_%26_Expansions Each DLC is already baked into the game...the premium content of each DLC is what you're paying for.
Help Please ARMA 3 community! Recently I have been trying to get into Arma 3. I always wanted to play it since it came out. I bought my PC just to play it and a few other games. I thought surely a 10yr old title would easily run just fine on a Ryzen 5 3600, a Gigabyte Nvidia RTX 3060 12gb OC GPU, and 2x8gb sticks(16gb total in Dual channel) of DDR4 3200 CL16 RAM. how-ever after following various guides and doing a lot of research from what I can tell, the max fps I can get on single player in outdoor forested areas of Altis is 100fps but it averages around 45 to 75(usually 60fps+) but with 99%FPS showing about 45 to 50 in Nvidia's performance Overlay which is all acceptable to me; how-ever in the city areas in the Boot Camp Prologue I get about 24 to 34 fps(Mostly above 30fps) but the average fps and 99% fps metrics scare me in those situations. I can't imagine what that could mean for the game performance during flight and/or Multiplayer situations. Is this normal for most poeple? should I just keep playing the game with this setup? I recently was given and installed an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 CPU which has 10,700 million which is 6,900 million more transistors than the Ryzen 5 3600 but with the same core and boost clock speeds. the 5500 is Zen 3. the 3600 is zen 2. the 5500 has 19MB of Shared Cache(16MB of L3 cache + 3MB of L2 cache) vs the 3600's 35MB of shared cache(32MB of L3 cache + 3MB of L2 cache). I am using an MSi Mag series Coreliquid P240 AIO for cooling and my Ryzen 5 5500 runs at 3.8ghz on all cores min during load. is this setup truly not enough for Arma 3? any help and/or insight would be greatly appreciated. I am dying to play this game, online especially! Thank you all for your time and reading this mountain of text.
30 FPS in-game on bootcamp. That sounds just about right for all of us. Otherwise, try out my FPS Boost Guide video and the Performance RDLC as part of A3R.
I'd love to play this game but I don't have anybody to play with on this game as no one I know has it and it gets boring on your own specially when I barely know how to play the game
Is there a mod or campaign that is just pure sandbox for single player? It seems weird that the developers have made this sandbox game, but then the campaigns seem to be like a standard linear game on a console. For example, after a mission instead of letting me choose what to do next, the game will fade to black and my characters in a helicopter, and when I've done that part it fades to black and I'm back at the base. I'd like an open game where I get to decide where to attack and also my base could be attacked etc. Does this exist? Thanks
Yes. You can play Warlords or Invade & Annex. There are also mods on the Steam workshop called Antistasi, Liberation, or Vindicta. If you want pure sandbox with nobbases to capture, look for workshop Scenarios called "Map" Sandbox.
Ive never played arma 3, but i have played squad.. i want to know if you have to have a group to play with or can you play as a solo on longer pvp semi milsim missions and stuff?
This game is awesome! But why do they have to have controls double or triple bound so you have to go and delete a bunch of useless and interfering bindings 😑
Bought this and a few of the dlc's about 6 months ago or so at least and now last night i just plugged my computer back in after months of being away and now hopefully the presets for my xbox series s controller will be good to get me started until i can actually set it up alot better to actually do 90% at least of controls with it and then to learn about making my own missions and situations etc.... 😊
hey, iam new in Arma, i did everything in bootcamp etc etc, i have 5 hours on this game, but still cant get how to play with my friend, who bought this game with me, we are still so confuse and just dont know how to play with each other, what are all these servers, why we cant join them and just, wtf is going on, we just want to play some missions or something
RHS just because they are the basis of so much else content. My problem is performance. I have a laptop. Also a non steam game so i cannot get performance upgrades.
The major problem i have right now is that i cannot find someone to play with, i know that units exist but english is not my first language so i butcher some words up sometimes, and im also pretty freaking young so am i just gonna get called a squeeker?
@@nannertime just outa curiosity what's a good way to get into multiplayer. Is there a certain Gamemode to start on or is it better to go through the single player campaign first?
Great question! You dont have to do the campaign. The quickest and easiest way to get into multiplayer is to play KOTH or King of the Hill. Its a 3 team deathmatch feel. You can also play a Zeus game. You can also join an Arma group and they will be happy to teach you a TON After bootcamp and the prologue, you dont have to play singleplayer campaign
Huh? Its literally generic action music in the style of Arma, not to mention the volume is maybe 10% compared to the voice over. If it was loud dubstep or something id understand
Lies. It is all lies. Arma will frustrate you even after this : ) Especially the super smart can't make a corner or I just refuse to follow your orders AI but once it got you, you will always look at your other games with sadness knowing that they will never get the attention Arma does. I do think the recommendation made in this video is a good place to start.
Im always confused with how to start a match, with how to play, what buttons to press, how to pull up menus, how to navigate menus to get to the sub menus, then theres mods, which mods do i need to get on most lobbys. I just end up playing KOTH lobbys. I played boot camp and the campaign alil bit passed the point you wash up ashore.
@@Gl0ckb1te You should find a group to play with. The spreadsheet I linked below is a place to start to find them. Most servers in Arma 3 do not have the same mods, which makes finding games nearly impossible without first finding a community who host their own servers. These groups always have people willing to teach you how to use the controls and menus. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16ujNh8mUMSxbk1tN-ywkaXVGtmzCi1oz5EQi_9GHW3Q/edit?usp=drivesdk www.clanlist.io
@@Gl0ckb1te So far this is the best fully fleshed out video guide at 60 min long. th-cam.com/video/2EsSXWonPJQ/w-d-xo.html If all that is too much, you might benefit from buying and playing Arma Reforger which was just released. It is much easier to pick and play with other people and automatically gives you the mods when joining the server. Also, it looks better than Arma 3 and is OPTIMIZED It's $30 on Steam and is in Early Access.
1. Multiplayer makes my fps drop like crazy 2. I haven't had any cool experiences and end up getting wrecked and called noob. 3. Mods??? Vanilla is already confusing enough to me
@@nannertimeking of the hill is fun when it isn’t completely one sided. Blufor loses like 80% of the games. And there’s nothing to really fall back to for pvp if u don’t like koth because most of the other game modes are dead unless ur playing role play or coop servers

When can we expect to get a 2022 mods list? I’ve tried playing before, never got the hang of it and just downloaded it again to give it another run.
Mod lists are coming in a couple of weeks. What kinds of mods are you hoping to see?
@@nannertime primarily weapon systems if there’s any, would be nice to see graphical mods for added realism as well! Great video btw!
@@braindoesntwork2730 Haha there are plenty of weapon systems!
I have some "realism" mods lined up here soon as well.
Bro i bot this game in 2017, i played several missions of the campaign, and 20 hours of KOTH. I get on and off because its just so confusing. Optimazation is terrrible but there really is nothing like it so i keep coming back to it for more head scratches than i care to admit. I have no friends who play this either.
Here's the first set of realism mods:

Do you recommend purchasing Arma 3 or Arma Reforger?
Arma 3
This is so helpful. Here, have a sub
Thanks! You rock! It was smart to get in on the current sale.
@@nannertime I’m having good fun
What are your favorite parts of the game? And what kinds of videos would you like to see more of?
My biggest problem with Arma is the lack of easy to jump in coop with my friends.
It's such a pain isn't it?
If your friends can't see your hosted server, watch this: th-cam.com/video/rjX9hBrOaOM/w-d-xo.html

@@nannertime Wow! Thank you so much! You’re a champ. I love this game now that I gave it a chance.
Absolutely! And I'm on a mission to make it even better. Subscribe for more
It dead ass takes about 3 years going on 4 to learn how to play this game confidently.
Q1: not a single one! Because i watched your video!
Q2: i don’t have friends!
Q3: of course mods that come from you!
Thank you daddy knightin
anything for you, my son
I know its an old video but can i use russian army camoflauge without any mods? Or any eastern europe pact? Anyways, good video!
No
I liked and subscribed, is your family alright?
We got one more grain of rice, thanks to you!
@@nannertime God Bless.
Hey I’m new to the game and was wondering if I should just use text chat instead of voice chat, because I’m not really comfortable with talking to strangers lol
Thats fine!
@@nannertime thank you so much man I didn’t know lol
Man I can’t figure out my graphic settings. 50fps rtx 3070 and 32gb ram at 1080p….

Just bought Arma 3 for the second time, I have now 2 people to play with.
Welcome back!
I built my friend a pc and am trying to get him into arma 3, we play tons of shooters like ground branch and he knows commands its just the sheer amount in this game is overwhelming even after 5 years lol
Yeah. The key is to start small. And be patient. Focus on one thing at a time. Just like in real life military training. And you don't have to learn everything. Just learn what you want.
The biggest issue I have I spawning into a map away from my team. How do I spawn in near them? Also, why can’t I spawn a vehicle or aircraft when I spawn into the map? Very frustrating
It all depends on the game mode that you're playing.
Got this game because of dayZ and I don’t regret it.
Hey dude. I played this game for a while, and now I'm wondering if it's worth buying official dlc (and which ones)? Or is it better to find something in the workshop?
If you haven't found a reason already to buy a DLC, I would skip the DLC and just do the workshop.
You will know if you want or need the DLC, that's when you know you need it. Otherwise, I recommend against it
@@nannertime I’ve bought tac ops dlc and now i don’t know is it worth to buy helicopters dlc for example? Or tanks dlc ? I like scenarios and campaigns and dont rly want to go to any servers . As far as I know these dlc are good, but the reviews in steam are mostly bad, so I'm a little confused
The DLC is lot of money for what you get. Tac Ops is fun because it gives some high quality missions
For helicopters, you only get 2 helis and a showcase for sling loading.
You can see a full list of DLC and what they offer as premium content by Pressing Shift+P in-game or visit this website and click into each DLC community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Arma_3:_DLCs_%26_Expansions
Each DLC is already baked into the game...the premium content of each DLC is what you're paying for.
Help Please ARMA 3 community! Recently I have been trying to get into Arma 3. I always wanted to play it since it came out. I bought my PC just to play it and a few other games. I thought surely a 10yr old title would easily run just fine on a Ryzen 5 3600, a Gigabyte Nvidia RTX 3060 12gb OC GPU, and 2x8gb sticks(16gb total in Dual channel) of DDR4 3200 CL16 RAM. how-ever after following various guides and doing a lot of research from what I can tell, the max fps I can get on single player in outdoor forested areas of Altis is 100fps but it averages around 45 to 75(usually 60fps+) but with 99%FPS showing about 45 to 50 in Nvidia's performance Overlay which is all acceptable to me; how-ever in the city areas in the Boot Camp Prologue I get about 24 to 34 fps(Mostly above 30fps) but the average fps and 99% fps metrics scare me in those situations. I can't imagine what that could mean for the game performance during flight and/or Multiplayer situations. Is this normal for most poeple? should I just keep playing the game with this setup? I recently was given and installed an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 CPU which has 10,700 million which is 6,900 million more transistors than the Ryzen 5 3600 but with the same core and boost clock speeds. the 5500 is Zen 3. the 3600 is zen 2. the 5500 has 19MB of Shared Cache(16MB of L3 cache + 3MB of L2 cache) vs the 3600's 35MB of shared cache(32MB of L3 cache + 3MB of L2 cache). I am using an MSi Mag series Coreliquid P240 AIO for cooling and my Ryzen 5 5500 runs at 3.8ghz on all cores min during load. is this setup truly not enough for Arma 3? any help and/or insight would be greatly appreciated. I am dying to play this game, online especially! Thank you all for your time and reading this mountain of text.
30 FPS in-game on bootcamp. That sounds just about right for all of us. Otherwise, try out my FPS Boost Guide video and the Performance RDLC as part of A3R.
I'd love to play this game but I don't have anybody to play with on this game as no one I know has it and it gets boring on your own specially when I barely know how to play the game

Is there a mod or campaign that is just pure sandbox for single player? It seems weird that the developers have made this sandbox game, but then the campaigns seem to be like a standard linear game on a console.
For example, after a mission instead of letting me choose what to do next, the game will fade to black and my characters in a helicopter, and when I've done that part it fades to black and I'm back at the base.
I'd like an open game where I get to decide where to attack and also my base could be attacked etc. Does this exist?
Thanks
Yes. You can play Warlords or Invade & Annex. There are also mods on the Steam workshop called Antistasi, Liberation, or Vindicta.
If you want pure sandbox with nobbases to capture, look for workshop Scenarios called "Map" Sandbox.
Ive never played arma 3, but i have played squad.. i want to know if you have to have a group to play with or can you play as a solo on longer pvp semi milsim missions and stuff?
You can do all of those in Arma 3. Just know it's take a few minutes to figure out where find what you're looking for in this 10 year old sandbox game
@@nannertime Alright, just bought it now thanks for the reply! :D
This game is awesome! But why do they have to have controls double or triple bound so you have to go and delete a bunch of useless and interfering bindings 😑
So true. Check out my video on Arma 3 Remastered for a full keybind remap that is flexible and works with the must have mods
Bought this and a few of the dlc's about 6 months ago or so at least and now last night i just plugged my computer back in after months of being away and now hopefully the presets for my xbox series s controller will be good to get me started until i can actually set it up alot better to actually do 90% at least of controls with it and then to learn about making my own missions and situations etc.... 😊
join my discord. there are some people that can share what controller presets they use
I could actually go for some crayons right now…
hey, iam new in Arma, i did everything in bootcamp etc etc, i have 5 hours on this game, but still cant get how to play with my friend, who bought this game with me, we are still so confuse and just dont know how to play with each other, what are all these servers, why we cant join them and just, wtf is going on, we just want to play some missions or something
Watch my Play with Friends video and my Complete guide
RHS just because they are the basis of so much else content. My problem is performance. I have a laptop. Also a non steam game so i cannot get performance upgrades.
Non-steam game? Arma 3 is steam exclusive
mine says dlc purchase when i try to play it in editor also i am stuck at 5 fps when i load the glowing dlc into the game and when i dont it runs well
Whats the glowing dlc?
The major problem i have right now is that i cannot find someone to play with, i know that units exist but english is not my first language so i butcher some words up sometimes, and im also pretty freaking young so am i just gonna get called a squeeker?
Maybe lol.
I understand. I will create a way to find events that are open to other languages
@@nannertime Thanks dude, didnt expect you to answer this quickly lol.
1. I'm noob
2. Just bought it. 7.49$
3. I have no idea 🤷♂
The sale ends in a few days! Im glad you got in.
Let me know if you run into any problems and I will help you!
What’s better. Hll or arma3
HLL for WW2 PvP. Arma 3 for everything else
I play the game just playing in Eden and virtual arsenal. I downloaded all the mods,private mods but I feel like bored
Sounds like it's time to play some premade scenarios or play multiplayer.
Also, use A3R Arma 3 Remastered
like it but title is 2024 u changing it😂
my arma 3 crashes when ever i click bootcamp....help!!!!
Verify your steam game files
Bruh... thank you
got you fam
me having a 60% keyboard “welp keys are gonna have to change lol”
lol. it's a sad day for 60% keyboards.
It's possible to get by without a numpad. But takes some work.

thank you my dear brother in islam
Have fun!
Spent a week trying to start the game
Hahaha. Welcome to Arma!
This all looks very overwhelming just to sit down and enjoy a game 😅😅
Good luck!
It’s not just a game
It’s a simulator lol
Goodluck and have fun soldier :>
1000 hours compared to me who plays ark the it took 11,000 hours away from me
Bro Every single good server has like 16 dlcs 😢
Having a hard time enjoying Arma cause none of my friends play it.
Friends make everything better. You could join an Arma group.
Him: What is thisss?!?
Me: *Sees 1100 hours played*
Me: 👁️👄👁️
😂
I didnt see the play button, im very smart
🤣 I missed it too
@@nannertime just outa curiosity what's a good way to get into multiplayer. Is there a certain Gamemode to start on or is it better to go through the single player campaign first?
Great question! You dont have to do the campaign. The quickest and easiest way to get into multiplayer is to play KOTH or King of the Hill. Its a 3 team deathmatch feel. You can also play a Zeus game.
You can also join an Arma group and they will be happy to teach you a TON
After bootcamp and the prologue, you dont have to play singleplayer campaign
@@nannertime thanks so much. I've spent most of my time failing helecopter advanced so maybe il go try KOTH
great video, but please, next time don't use this kind of music it's extremely distracting
Noted. Thanks for the feedback!
Huh? Its literally generic action music in the style of Arma, not to mention the volume is maybe 10% compared to the voice over. If it was loud dubstep or something id understand
Arma 3 Quick Beginner's Guide NO BS - Getting Started [2024] - "Watch all the tutorials"
Yep thats BS right there
Lies. It is all lies. Arma will frustrate you even after this : ) Especially the super smart can't make a corner or I just refuse to follow your orders AI but once it got you, you will always look at your other games with sadness knowing that they will never get the attention Arma does.
I do think the recommendation made in this video is a good place to start.
Solution: Check out Arma 3 Remastered ;)

Im always confused with how to start a match, with how to play, what buttons to press, how to pull up menus, how to navigate menus to get to the sub menus, then theres mods, which mods do i need to get on most lobbys. I just end up playing KOTH lobbys. I played boot camp and the campaign alil bit passed the point you wash up ashore.
@@Gl0ckb1te You should find a group to play with. The spreadsheet I linked below is a place to start to find them.
Most servers in Arma 3 do not have the same mods, which makes finding games nearly impossible without first finding a community who host their own servers. These groups always have people willing to teach you how to use the controls and menus.

If all that is too much, you might benefit from buying and playing Arma Reforger which was just released. It is much easier to pick and play with other people and automatically gives you the mods when joining the server. Also, it looks better than Arma 3 and is OPTIMIZED
It's $30 on Steam and is in Early Access.
@@nannertime thank you
1. Multiplayer makes my fps drop like crazy
2. I haven't had any cool experiences and end up getting wrecked and called noob.
3. Mods??? Vanilla is already confusing enough to me
Very dumb that as a 30 year old man I have to look up a video on how to play a game :(
haha Arma 3 is not easy to pick up.
This games is unbelievably confusing to just play the game as a new player. It makes no sense. I don’t care for pve.
You might enjoy playing King of the Hill then
@@nannertime I’d love to try, I just got frustrated with the game. Thank you for your help from the videos they have been helpful!
@@nannertimeking of the hill is fun when it isn’t completely one sided. Blufor loses like 80% of the games. And there’s nothing to really fall back to for pvp if u don’t like koth because most of the other game modes are dead unless ur playing role play or coop servers
Complete dogchit, stuff we already know
