Damn. We are going to reach 100k views😱 I can honestly tell you I never got any video above 10k (not that I deserve more with my type of content), but I'd love to take a moment to thank all of you for taking the time (a whole hour!) to do some research before playing! I'm always happy to see all your positive feedback and stories. I also am grateful for the honesty and constructive feedback ofcourse. The most common problem is defintely with the files and how to install them. Arma 3 loves to play tricks, I'm sorry! Search the comments for solutions, check your folders/ profiles and try to get it to work. More than 50% of all people I spoke to who had issues solved them eventually. For controls changes please turn on the subtitles & check the description as well! If you want to disable freelook in vehicles to fly helicopters without flystick, you can do so in the game settings. THE COMMENT I HEAR MOST OFTEN: Appearantly you don't 'NEED' a beefy computer to run arma and enjoy it. *EDIT1:* Damn... 200k Statistics show most of the views aren't even because of the algorythm. You people genuinly look this up a lot! *EDIT 2.* 300k Thanks again you all, I have replaced the newer loadout file again, for those who don't get it to work, go IN the file and check for the text, just copy paste it into yours! Also, some people have more than 1 Arma profile, look for folders and throw it in there instead. Happy to help you fine humans. EDIT 3: 600k 😂 it's an honor. Sadly my content is random, but I try to make all my videos worth it in some way. Upping the quality and putting elbow grease into it! Any video I make takes a big work so I am slow as hell, but fir those checking out the content, I appreciate you and hope you enjoy :)

I have been keeping my eye (listen to me keep an eye for 7 years) on Arma in the past couple of months, watching gameplay, keeping an eye on the player base and seeing it above 20k every time I have a look at it I started to get extremely hyped because It is the only game I had in my wishlist for which I was absolutely sure that I was going to have a blast playing it! The day has come as Arma went to its second sale (yes I missed the first one) and I have finally bought Arma two days ago and I have 26 hours already. I have been playing DayZ intensively lately and I knew that Arma is just what I need to escape from Dayz's paranoia of losing your shit. Anyways, sorry for the novel, just wanted to share my extremely nice last two days. Amazing video, watched every second of it, thank you! Arma is the best shit I played

I like how Arma 3 is from 2013 yet this tutorial is from 2021. And I was just asking myself earlier whether or not I should buy the game while it's on sale or if it would be a waste buying it this late. On a budget, so I might grab the game now since it's only $7.50 and get some of the DLC later on as I go. Thanks for the in depth tutorial! Although I might just mess with controls and loadouts myself. Middle mouse seems a bit unnatural compared to most games as an "interact" button. F seems more appropriate, but I may change my mind given how in depth these controls are.
@randomshittutorials3 жыл бұрын
No worries! Also, I had the same mindset as you when ai started, if you decide to change the controls with your current knowledge you will slowly find yourself leaning back to my controls. You'll slowly find why I did what I did when you figure out the game functions xD But I'm not stopping you.
@Solemn9263 жыл бұрын
@@randomshittutorials Ok, update time: Bought the game, played with a friend on a few different servers, and did some of the single player scenarios and a few from the Steam workshop. The default controls are so unnatural. It's one of those rare cases where you almost don't have enough keys to play the game since so many of them have secondary functions. I've learned three things so far. 1. You always need to know what stance to be in and when, otherwise you're getting shot or won't have your gun ready in time enough 2. Apparently they have an in depth difficulty system as well, and AI are just as good as other players. They don't take PvE lightly. and most importantly, 3. I'm dogshit at heli controls.

Many people had this issue and managed to fix it. I recommend you go INTO the files and just copy paste the text from there (loadout info for example) into your own files instead, that should work.

I personally would say it’s still worth getting into. If you’re creative, you have a mission editor, craving action? Join a King of The Hill match and fight in a battlefield with upwards of 100+ players. Want to chill/grind? Join a Life(RP) server? Want SERIOUS rp? Join the numerous mil-sim groups. Hell want to play Halo or Star Wars? Then join a server with that. There are endless possibilities and you will see the true colors of this game if you have the patience for all its quirks and issues. Hope you enjoy it if you decide on buying it.

@Roolenstein8 ай бұрын
I believe a more efficient movement config than WASD is to use Sec. Mouse for moving forward. This is because the middle finger of your mouse hand usually has access to only one button (Sec. Mouse), which makes it the best candidate for operating the button that needs to be held down the most (forward); and holding down Sec. Mouse doesn't restrict the freedom of thumb and index finger either. This setup increases the freedom of your keyboard hand because its middle finger doesn't need to be anchored to one key (W) so often, because doing so reduces the freedom of other fingers.

Not middle button. Secondary button (mouse 2). And then you change Back to LAlt, and strafe right to S.

I agree. Allthough there is a beauty the fact that you don't have to think about time while playing it. It allows you to feel like you're taking part in some event rather than a game with a timer. Also it allows you to enjoy the smallest things more.. You don't need action now. You can just enjoy the situation, or talk with your tank buddies.
