It's good as long as you are gud

If you are shit you probably won't git gud for a long time.

I can't say if you'll like it or not, but if any game isn't a meme it's this game.

well what does the gameplay consist of that's so special, and why do people go nuts over it. Im tempted to buy it since it's awfully cheap and my Irl friend plays it, but I want enough cash for R6 Siege and Witcher 3

Its a niche game,i have friends who hate it and some who love it.
>Inb4 my system runs like shit
>Mods
>Good communities

It's just enjoyable, it's a little bit complicated and adds for challenge since it is hard to see enemies and take some skill to master the weapons and vehicles

why not ask your irl friends instead of all the faggots here?

are there any singleplayer mods that generate instant action? preferably extremely unrealistic action scenarios with tons of tanks and squads and shit like a battlefield or cod game

because my Irl friend has shit fucking taste in videogames and hes too ''mature'' for overwatch

It's entirely shit without a 20-50 man group to play with. With a group and a dedicated map maker (and the requisite 17GB of mods) Arma 3 becomes a stellar experience with gameplay and PvE scenarios that you won't find anywhere else.


Oh, and there's TvT if you're into the sort of thing.

I have nearly 500 hours in A3, used to play with Arma 3 General nearly every night. Good times.

There is an editor where you can do whatever you want

Like I spawned 288 jets and watched them fight each other

It's not a game for the faint of heart really, it's an autism simulator for sure and that's from someone with 2000+ hours in the arma series since the first one. You'll have experiences that are awesome, and you'll walk across a desert for 20 minutes to immediately get shot in the head and get to do it again. It's a Military simulator, not an FPS. If you keep that in mind and like the thought of that, you'll like it despite what others may say about it

yea but i suck ass at scripting shit, I have both 2 and 3, but haven't looked around at mods much.

Nothing but pure shit now, youtubers coming in and showing altis life and other garbage have flooded this game with kids, the mil sim aspect of Arma is dead.

check out the alive mod

creates fully independant AI commanders for each faction that can dynamically give the player tasks. Might not be fun solo though, but it's great with a squad of friends.

Faggots will claim Dark souls is a die die die try try try again game

In reality it's this game, like You'll spend countless hours walking thorugh baren deserts, hills, and forests just to get to an objective and realize you are not properly equipped, get shot in the head from a kilometer away and do it all again. Then you get good and start doing recon.

>You'll spend countless hours walking thorugh baren deserts, hills, and forests just to get to an objective and realize you are not properly equipped, get shot in the head from a kilometer away and do it all again. Then you get good and start doing recon.

how is that anything like dark souls?

All the kids who can even slightly run the game are stuck in their containment mods.

>I play with pub servers and don't have a group: the post

Admittedly /a3g/ was a shitshow, but it's pretty fun. Glad to see it reforming.

youtu.be/A2FywiDVOgk

Are you a retarded person

Nobody claimed it was

I've been playing the series since the Operation Flashpoint days, so I'm a little biased, but the 3d editor and Zeus features were pretty much my dream features.

It's a fantastic milsim lite sandbox, but the AI is still fucking ridiculous. Your best bet is to fight in urban areas otherwise they'll pick you off from 1km away, with an ironsight rifle while you're laying low in shrubbery. Also the team is constantly adding features for free, but some content is premium DLC (which is way overpriced) so it's not gonna die anytime soon.

Anyone know when ARMA 3 APEX returns to full price?

I dont even know if I want to get it yet though Tanoa looks awesome and may bring me back to ARMA3, if I miss the sale and its back to $35 I may just have to pirate it, but I dont want to because i want to play multiplayer, fuck I'm so undecided.

Shill your groups guys, I want to join a casual group, not some autistic server ran by old vets

is Arma 3 worth the 20 dollars it is now?

Yes, it rarely hits that

Lol holy shit that fuckfest of an image

My favorite mods are WLA,WLA sound addon,dragonfyre,blastcore,aff desert
spent hours playing that dynamic campaign

the 3d editor now in 3 makes it super easy to set up basic missions with minimal to no scripting

youtube.com/watch?v=UefX2XzWo9E

Its a good game if you play with Europeans.

I think that a preorder discount, not a temporary sale. They did the same thing with the base game at least.

As in discount for those who already own ARMA 3? Or discoutn before the release of Apex in July? God I sure hope so.

Discount before the release I think, but I can't find anywhere that it explicitly says one way or the other

What times does /akp/ operate and what's the new TS? I'm totally going to come back.

>meme
Shining star of articulation skills right here.
It's niche game for niche audience. So I think that if you gotta ask that then no, it's not for you.

Sounds like you're the cock sucking faggot with shit taste here

What are some good specs to run this game including mods? Not nessicarly high end but the minimum to enjoy and get the full experience?

Seconded oy vey

Forget about it, you don't have what it takes for a hardcore milsim, you'll get yourself killed and everyone around yiu

I only know of /a3g/-/akp/, Murshun, and Broma

Found it!

Dumping screenshots.

I am really satisfied with this game, it's everything I wanted and more. I joined a realism unit recently and it has surpassed all my expectations. Truly one of the best games out there, if you're into simulation like this.

is this game still fun for someone who doesn't like to use mic or is that sort of a necessity?

Need a processor that has great single core performance and a 960 or 970 minimum

...

>tfw no real naval simulation to speak of so I can't engage in my favorite activity: FUCKING THAT REACTOR BOY


Some groups allow complete mutes but, obviously, it's a problem when someone is wounded and can't communicate with us. Most, if not all, of the groups forbid usage of the chat channels in game for realism reasons.

You could entirely refuse to speak other than important situations, but that'd be missing out on the squad banter user!

not really, communication is pretty much the lynchpin of what makes its combined arms style interesting

Would the new 480 be good?

what is the typical kind of goal in this game?

get to point?
retrieve object?
objective: survive?

i imagine since it's a mod heavy game, there's everything, but if you were to just join a random game, what would one expect to see and attempt to do?

...

AMD has never run this game well, ever

But maybe, I dunno it's not even out yet

Operate

It's amazing if you ignore the altis life/exile/zombie kiddies

I used to play on a GTX 560.


The 480 would be entirely fine.

Whatever the missionmaker desires. Car race? Clear a city and repel an armored attack supported by massed infantry? Infiltrate a facility? Hostage situation TvT w/ mild roleplay? Beach assault and island clearing? Combined arms offensive? Convoy escort?

Ive been enjoying laser designating tanks and abusing the artillery system to no end
Is there a way to get the enemy to use artillery on me?

who here /mission maker/

got 4k subscribers on my last SP mission

Yes.

You don't want that to happen.
Nobody wants to be hit by six rounds of HE 155mm in a ToT barrage.

Mortars are bad enough.

Train yourself with the BRRRTTTTmobile

Way better than artillery, more fun too

Been meaning to give this game a go again now that for the first time ever we have a 3D Editor.

But Altis is too boring and dull, I'm gonna wait till I get Tanoa to really get back to this game proper.

Will this run mp servers decently? I just want at least 30-50 that's all I need to kill people.

Mission link?
But I want to be immersed user,i still dont even know how to have AI support units set up turrets and mortars,better yet use the drones

>Mission link?
nay but you can go to workshop and check most popular scenarios on stratis for past 3 months. 3rd one

>buying that for a server build
I'd recommend a used Xeon processor and a server motherboard, you can make an ACTUAL dedicated server for under $500

Those are the best servers though.
>ina ad-hoc veteran squad

>kill 3 guys that never saw me coming.


The shit ones are the armachair military experts that think they know what they're doing. One group had us line up and handed out awards or some shit for completing a mission.

I enjoy the game but you need to find a good group of guys that know strategy and aren't uptight asshats about it. If they have a guy willing to zues or make maps then you'll get the best experience.

Not for hosting a server I mean to play decently on large servers.

I have a 760 since i was a chap replacement for my 560 when it borked will that and the cpu do fine?

yeah it'd prob do alright on Med-High; I should imagine.

>It's hopej shilling his shit group again

Note: framerate that you'll recieve in MP servers cannot go higher than the actual server's framerate.

If it's a badly coded mission or a underpowered server you can expect to see drops into the 20s.

Threadly reminder that /AKB/ is playing Tanoa ops now.

I noticed the frame cap thing it's ass even when setting everything to low.

What are some good coop ai missions?

well, I pulled the trigger guys, what am I in for?

>10.3MB/s
Dude how

Better get it now. Bohemia doesn't put new products on sale and when they do they usually go back to pre-order price lul

youtube.com/watch?v=1ICfpjoevP8
this is what you're in for noob
you better learn fast

what is that slow?

Fuck, and the current price alone feels too expensive for me but the standard price is even worse, fuck.

No that's fast

I want to play Arma but I don't have it. Shame.

I honestly don't know, ran at 50~FPS with constant drops to sub 30 FPS on my 980ti, refunded it.

well I just use an ethernet cable, with verizon, nothing too special

Has nothing to do with your GPU

I run 4k just fine with my 980ti on ultra, just overclock the shit out of your processor

>So is this game any good

It's pretty good, and it's even better doing ops in a group but even if all you do is play Wasteland/KOTH and do zombie mods, it's still pretty solid but you aren't getting everything you can out of it.

Does anyone know any good groups to play with? I played with /a3g/ for a while and that was fun but it went to shit due to drama or something.

arma 3 units

Bruh

I wonder if it would go faster if I ran a cable across my apartment and stopped using WiFi.

...

...

>handed out awards or some shit for completing a mission.

Yeah you have a point there, this is worse than gmod RP shit.

My buddy who plays the shit out of arma3 is ex marines, and he just like the awesome ones you were talking about but I can't get him to play anymore, I think he's too busy with work or something.

I've spent over 100 hours on it just fucking around in the editor. I haven't really touched single player or multiplayer so I can't really comment on that, but it's pretty fun to design missions in the editor.
