I had a guy run in front of my gun while i was shooting and I still said sorry, he kept calling votes for me to be kicked. Some people are just annoying.
These videos are awesome. Arma's relentless commitment to realism was what initially piqued my interest in the series, a strong emphasis on tactical precision is a welcome change of pace from the more action oriented military shooters. That, coupled with the very active and prolific modding community (DayZ sucka!), Mission Editor and a completely open world makes this the coolest game I've never played. Now I just need a PC that can keep up...
I so much wish people had listened to your words at 3:47, it's so typical to kill a friendly because for some reason said friendly decides it's the best of the ideas to place themselves in the front of your MX SW during a fire fight then blame YOU for the teamkill
I’ve been looking for videos like this. Thanks. The most intimidating part of the game isn’t the learning curve of play as much as interactions are I’ve learned.
Dslyecxi, your guides make me feel like Im back in basic, lol! Excellent stuff man. Its nice to know what works in the real world also works in this game. hehe
All of this is usually covered once you get into a serious ArmA group. And it is done differently whether you play in the US or the rest of the world. I tried to pick up all the tricks from dslyecxi's grunt manual and then had to relearn a lot of stuff when I joined up with a mostly British group. All of this obviously clashed with my own personal experience in the (Danish) army. So yeah, it's best to keep it simple and then expand on training once in a group.
your pretty good man, most Arma Community members are always open to teaching ya how to play and if you ever have any question most will answer. all round good community, as long as you avoid the 12 yr olds, only thing I dont like about DayZ......
He was referring to Dslyecxi's famous ArmA guide TTP (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures). You can find it on the Shack Tac website, it's a good read if you really want to learn how to be successful in ArmA. Just be warned it's not light reading.
There are some public servers that are decently organized. The biggest hurdle is that the majority of players aren't equipped with the knowledge to be this tactically cohesive. Its hard to do this without having played this way a lot, and preferably with the same people so you can know the specific methods people know and prefer. Arma 2 is pretty healthy for this kind of play publically, though nothing beats organized closed communities. Arma 3 will develop this more and more once its released.
Actually, I didn't watch it before this morning. I've read his A2 TTP guide which covers all of this extensively. This is a shortened version of part of that.
Something I quite often use when it comes to giving orders is CLAP which means Clear Loud As an order and with Pauses. Saying this to yourself before giving an order is good to remind you how to give an order. There is another abbreviation called GRIT which means Group, Range, Indication, Type of Fire, which is also useful to learn. Also when giving contact details do you go into fire type, E.g 'Rapid Fire, Ripple, Delayed, etc'? Or do you not go that in depth with your fire control orders.
i noticed there are new softer shadows for the environment. are these gonna be used for the character shadows in future insted of the contemporary blocky ones as well? nice video anyway. although ive seen it before. do you upload the same videos again?
Hey Dslyecxi, I noticed in your video you have right handed AI/Players shouldering their rifles on the left shoulder. I would greatly appreciate if you could show us how to do this! Thanks!
hey , great vids. I am new to Arma and am wondering if there are any 2 player coop maps i can try to hone my skills before i jump on a server? and if not do you have any suggestions on where i should start playing. I have to say i am very excited to start learning the different aspects of this game because it is so much more then i thought possible in a video game !!! cheers
The usual. Turn off post process effects, defrag your harddrive. If you have a lot of RAM you can make a RAM drive to speed up texture loading. FPS is sometimes low on servers even if you've got a high end machine.
I was wondering what mod did you use to switch to the Rangefinder without slinging your weapon on the back at 1:22? I've looked it out a lot and don't seem to find anything. I also have most STUI mods, but i cant find it there either... :{
Any suggestions on good teams that I can join, which play in somewhat hardcore/military gaming style (EU time zone)? My problem is that it seem that most are playing on private servers, and I was wondering how to join them. Thanks.
can you please explain what servers to play on? there are like 3 servers with more than 5 people online and they all use that boring domination map for 40 people there's always that guy griefing at the spawn, 10 people staying afk at the spawn and 5 people just running around dying\shooting
Great video. One thing though, I hope I never see you and ShackTac on Stratis. I probably won't even hear the shot but still....knowing you lot are mostly a few thousand miles of ping away helps me sleep.
Dslyecxi has ARMA 3 ALPHA been making any progress lately ? I haven't heard anything from the producers or anyone really in a while now which worries me as I loved Arma 2, and I just have such an High hopes for ARMA 3 when released. Has any mechanics / physics / animations and other general stuff been improved ? A.I. behavour and such? Any chance of gameplay of Heavy Armoued Vehicles such as Tanks ? or maybe some Jet / Plane gameplay? Please reply either by comment or inbox, Thank you! -Rad
Man.. just go on editor and start putting people on the air field at fixed distance... it does work perfectly... the 6.5mm has a slight fire cone of deviation at longer range, but the ballistic reticle is working for all calibers..
Can you do a tutorial on how to speak? When do I say what? "Copy that", "Rodger", or in a Choper "Inbound" "turning hot" and there is many more. Can't find any explanations on google - maybe because english is not my main language and I dont know exactly what I should search.
if you're not talking you're shooting. If you're not shooting you're reloading. if you're not reloading you're moving. if you're not moving you're dead.
Yo! I just saw this and thought that it was really good, though primarily a lone wolf makes things significantly harder for me since I'm not much of a clan person, what can you say to help us stragglers who end up alone more than with others?
+Hiniberus If you're more of a lone wolf type of person, I would advise carefully assessing the enemy, making your first move count, [taking down as many enemies as possible while you retain the element of surprise, and above all, just don't be seen. if the enemy can't see you, they can't shoot you, and you will have the advantage when you shoot first and they didn't even know you are there, until they're wounded or already dead.
Hey Dslyexcxi, this may be a little late, but I was wondering If I could dub this video for an latam arma 3 community I´m part of, obviously I would give credit to you.
Hey hey, I didn't mean to offend anyone. Even if you had security on your six, you could still have your number 3 or number 4 man watch a different direction. No sense in two people looking the same way. We can agree on that right?
3:53 Your Number 4 man is covering the same direction as number 3. Have him pull rear security. I'm sure you saw that already tho. No point in reuploading for something that nobody will ever catch. Your tips are good basics for CQC, are you active or prior service?
+angel perez it should say if you either go into the bios and/or look up PC specs on a website and let it scan your system (please be careful about the websites) and it should tell you
This should be mandatory viewing for anyone playing first person shooters or flight sims. Well summarized and succinct. Thanks!
I had a guy run in front of my gun while i was shooting and I still said sorry, he kept calling votes for me to be kicked. Some people are just annoying.
In actuality, I called for a vote to kicked the guy that trying to get you kicked. This isn't COD. Don't chase the kill.

Left Click Shoots
Dslyecxi should voice the Arma 3 Infantry Tutorial!
I’ve been looking for videos like this. Thanks. The most intimidating part of the game isn’t the learning curve of play as much as interactions are I’ve learned.
i dont know what i'll do without your videos.....every video teach you something. that DSLYECXI
Hey man loved the video, hopefully it helps my teammates in getting into the tactical and tightly formed combat even in pubg.
Dslyecxi, your guides make me feel like Im back in basic, lol! Excellent stuff man. Its nice to know what works in the real world also works in this game. hehe
some dynamic shots there. well done

very great quality and ur voice works perfect as an instructor kind of voice. GJ
Awesome video m8. Old but gold
Congratz on getting on the Steam Arma 3 news.
Yay new Dslyecxi video!
Damn, already seen on A3 official D:

Great video as usual. Can't wait to get my hands on Arma 3
Indeed that would be sweet Dslyecxi if you can do a video on optimization and recommended processors.
Actually, I didn't watch it before this morning. I've read his A2 TTP guide which covers all of this extensively. This is a shortened version of part of that.
Thanks, man! Really helps us new to ArmA
It's a new stance. Use the stance modifier (CTRL) and press A to step to the left side.
Nice video man, Im going to pop this over to the DayZ and Wasteland guys I play with, hopefully they can learn something
Awesome video, as usual!
Well spoken and well explained. Thanks!

thanks for reply i'll look those up online. i was gonna go down the i5ivy and 660ti route. i'm coming from console to pc but im sure i wont regret it.
Very solid video.
You can download the Dev build on steam, most servers use that version
Saw this an twitter might as well watch again
Dslyecxi, you are my yoda! keep it coming master :)
i noticed there are new softer shadows for the environment. are these gonna be used for the character shadows in future insted of the contemporary blocky ones as well? nice video anyway. although ive seen it before. do you upload the same videos again?
Stepping around corners on your left side. If you are holding the gun on the left shoulder you have to expose less to aim with it.
Nothing but Amazing videos
works in PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS... and makes the teamplay more fun
Can we expect any ShackTac Arma 3 multiplayer videos soon?
Great guide as always. Do you plan on updating your tactical guide for arma3?
At 1:16, the guy is aiming his weapon with his other eye. How do you do that ?
If you pause the video at 4:05 you can see the 5th man in a crouched position covering the rear.
It's called constructive criticism
Hey Dslyecxi, I noticed in your video you have right handed AI/Players shouldering their rifles on the left shoulder. I would greatly appreciate if you could show us how to do this!
Thanks!
I love the tips videos
I have the strong feelings that I have seen this video before.
thanks for the advice I hope im going to be good at this game
Oh, combat daydreams..."I'm gonna kill so many enemies."
Take a look at the BI forum, good chance that you'll find what you seek there :-)
Yay! Another video :D
How do you identify vehicles in ArmA 3 in your contact report?
sorry to ask dude but im about to build my first rig to play arma 3 and dayz which cpu/gpu combo i should get. any advice would be great.
hey , great vids. I am new to Arma and am wondering if there are any 2 player coop maps i can try to hone my skills before i jump on a server? and if not do you have any suggestions on where i should start playing. I have to say i am very excited to start learning the different aspects of this game because it is so much more then i thought possible in a video game !!!
cheers
they only content update so far has been the addition of a sniper class, with anti material rifle and rangefinders.
The usual. Turn off post process effects, defrag your harddrive. If you have a lot of RAM you can make a RAM drive to speed up texture loading.
FPS is sometimes low on servers even if you've got a high end machine.
I was wondering what mod did you use to switch to the Rangefinder without slinging your weapon on the back at 1:22? I've looked it out a lot and don't seem to find anything. I also have most STUI mods, but i cant find it there either... :{
It's in the base game. It's not a mod.
+Phoenix Wraith How do you use the feature? On mine, he usually automatically slings it... Thanks for answering
I think it's sniper exclusive, as if in the weapon, not the class
+Phoenix Wraith Ok thanks a lot
yayy new upload
I think he made a post on his blog about this.
Any suggestions on good teams that I can join, which play in somewhat hardcore/military gaming style (EU time zone)? My problem is that it seem that most are playing on private servers, and I was wondering how to join them. Thanks.
Dslyecxi, I luv u
can you please explain what servers to play on?
there are like 3 servers with more than 5 people online and they all use that boring domination map for 40 people
there's always that guy griefing at the spawn, 10 people staying afk at the spawn and 5 people just running around dying\shooting
this game .. ! gonna be epic
I love him more!
very helpful. thanks
Hey Dyslexia I can't find a profile for Arma3 Mouse control of G604 wireless. I had 15 buttons DUDE!!!
Great video. One thing though, I hope I never see you and ShackTac on Stratis. I probably won't even hear the shot but still....knowing you lot are mostly a few thousand miles of ping away helps me sleep.
What game type do you play for good team play
Dslyecxi has ARMA 3 ALPHA been making any progress lately ? I haven't heard anything from the producers or anyone really in a while now which worries me as I loved Arma 2, and I just have such an High hopes for ARMA 3 when released.
Has any mechanics / physics / animations and other general stuff been improved ? A.I. behavour and such?
Any chance of gameplay of Heavy Armoued Vehicles such as Tanks ? or maybe some Jet / Plane gameplay?
Please reply either by comment or inbox, Thank you!

Hi! what kind of hardware do you have?
I'm new to this whole arma thing... is this pvp or coop, and what do you prefer?
I watch this and sometimes forget this is a guide for a video game.
Do you need to have a mic for this game?
Man.. just go on editor and start putting people on the air field at fixed distance... it does work perfectly... the 6.5mm has a slight fire cone of deviation at longer range, but the ballistic reticle is working for all calibers..
Can you do a tutorial on how to speak? When do I say what? "Copy that", "Rodger", or in a Choper "Inbound" "turning hot" and there is many more. Can't find any explanations on google - maybe because english is not my main language and I dont know exactly what I should search.
I need help with mods and stuff. I wanna join servers but most of them have a yellow question mark. How do I install mods and stuff?
The easiest way (in my opinion) is to use a program called PlayWithSix. Just Google it.
great video!! made me want to play! If just more serious players would be there :(
if you're not talking you're shooting. If you're not shooting you're reloading. if you're not reloading you're moving. if you're not moving you're dead.
How to you even get on a server? Everytime I try it gets stuck on setting up character or I spawn flying in the air lol.
You should have put a tip up to keep SIDE and SQUAD chats calm. I hate it when people just say random shit over side channel. Bugs me so much.
It's a great game, you should get it.
Dslyecxi's Tactics, Techniques and Procedures guide.
co-operative is a good type
Yo! I just saw this and thought that it was really good, though primarily a lone wolf makes things significantly harder for me since I'm not much of a clan person, what can you say to help us stragglers who end up alone more than with others?
+Hiniberus If you're more of a lone wolf type of person, I would advise carefully assessing the enemy, making your first move count, [taking down as many enemies as possible while you retain the element of surprise, and above all, just don't be seen. if the enemy can't see you, they can't shoot you, and you will have the advantage when you shoot first and they didn't even know you are there, until they're wounded or already dead.
Hey dslyecxi, could you tell me how I can salute in ArmA 3 Beta ?
Hey Dslyexcxi, this may be a little late, but I was wondering If I could dub this video for an latam arma 3 community I´m part of, obviously I would give credit to you.
I wouldn’t have an issue with that.
Is it acceptable to play multi with no mic?
What multiplayer game mode is this?
Dsylexci doesn't have combat buddies. He has combat baggage.
Hey hey, I didn't mean to offend anyone. Even if you had security on your six, you could still have your number 3 or number 4 man watch a different direction. No sense in two people looking the same way. We can agree on that right?
BIS should fix the "1-2 cores @ 100% load while the rest runs on
Do i need to download a mod to play zombies ?
3:53 Your Number 4 man is covering the same direction as number 3. Have him pull rear security. I'm sure you saw that already tho. No point in reuploading for something that nobody will ever catch. Your tips are good basics for CQC, are you active or prior service?
I feel like I read all this somewhere already...Wonder where.
Hello I on french and I looked for tutorial for the multi but there is no French can you tell me the trick in French?
0:35
Sorry if I'm ever offensive, but this scene sorta bothers me. I know this is in alpha, but is that how recoil looks like in actual shooting?
Why are all the servers down on arma 3
or watched, which you probably have, this video was uploaded about a week ago, no idea why he reuploaded
Whoo!
they are very straight forward actually whats the problem?
wow i wish i can join your team i just started playing cause i had it but my pc was not able too run it what good settings for frames
What's you specs?
Shadowthief Gaming i dont know but it was running ok now it sucks
+angel perez it should say if you either go into the bios and/or look up PC specs on a website and let it scan your system (please be careful about the websites) and it should tell you
ok thanks
+angel perez Or just go into device manager.
How do you join ShackTac?
