time flies

[@Dunleap]

and how about now

[@pseudo20]

This tutorial is beautiful, I'm new to the ARMA series so this helped out alot. Thank you!

[@spikie852]

I wish I could give this more than one like, thanks for the great video!

[@ZE0SPantera]

7:59 Thank you for getting the FOV description correct. Not many people understand this.

[@jordanburns8174]

Dude, you're the best youtuber on Arma III ever! I came here to learn things and i learn them every time I watch the videos

[@LARPeratorsAnonymous]

your one of the first gamers that seems like a shooter/ gun owner and a gamer so you actually know what your talking about when it comes to optics, calibers etc. I have nerd rage when it comes to ppl and misinformation about firearms especially in the video game community. awsome video cant wait for arma 3

[@sanchiesp]

AWESOME!!! Love the new movements. when left-handed weapons??

[@ShilohVideoGames]

Toggling between crouch and stand is X, pressing W+S simultaneously changes your non-sprint speed from fast to slow. C puts you in 'tactical'. To keep the grass from blocking your view while prone, press Q and/or E while prone. This makes you roll over, which flattens grass. Also, although I know you didn't ask for it, you can go into a 'picnic' sitting position by pressing the apostrophe button, you can do a salute by pressing "\" and you can put your gun down by pressing CTRL twice.

[@1987RaPsCaLLioN]

HA - "Old and busted, New hotness" M.I.B reference FTW - good job sir, very helpful and informative +1 sub.

[@deedeeno1]

This is probably the Most Professional Tutorial i've ever seen well done props man.

[@sirorlandodecorsica6210]

how do you make the weapon aim like in red orchestra? I see people having that in their videos.

[@sirorlandodecorsica6210]

***** Oh wow.. Thanks lol

[@Bill_Garthright]

Thanks. I missed that, at first. I'd studied the controls, but hadn't realized there was more explicit information in the Field Manual.

[@andy880819]

Mr Dslyecxi, can I borrow your video to make a chinese version of it? There are actually a lot of players in taiwan so i wish i can translate it!

[@BaconAniimal]

Couldn't you just note it and make your own? Then just link him in the description, I'm sure he's be fine with that.

[@andy880819]

ok! I can try!

[@lexaron]

So, did you ever make it?

[@andy880819]

lexaron sadly, I left the community a long while ago, the team I played in had some sort of a toxic leadership, never got to do anything afterwards, I went and translated The manual wrote by deslyecxi tho, gave it to the team I played with.

[@Bill_Garthright]

Got it. Thanks. I didn't understand what that meant at first, and it really helped when I discovered I could use the editor to experiment with this stuff, outside of combat. Thanks again.

[@cooki3th1ef]

i'm trying to get into Escape from Tarkov, Insurgency and Arma. I thought you'd just have your WASD keys and C and CRTL for stances. I was so wrong, I've never seen things like this before and am excited to continue this series but it's all a bit overwhelming

[@pavelcerny9803]

Are you still playing ArmA?

[@Rosielstpme]

This kinds of comments on these arma 3 videos are making my day.

[@heike-zm7ze]

Wow. Until now I thought the game looked pretty good on my laptop...

[@IndoCroatPerson]

Dslyecxi, I came to your channel, looking for Arma III content and found content way above my expectations. Your videos are well polished, educational and entertaining. You got yourself a new subscriber, Keep up the awesome work!!!

[@Chickenhunter22]

Im here because of Free Arma 3 weekend

[@Laz3rsGoPewPew]

i got the beta of arma 3 without playing any other arma's, and this really helped, thanks!

[@KynatNL]

i came here to find out how to stance-adjust

[@KenLee318]

Thanks for your hard work on the TTPs! Looking forward to TTP3, as high quality and must-read as usual.

[@VTblackhawk]

Loved the MIB 2 reference on the sight fix.

[@BelowSocial]

Best youtuber who does Arma videos, great at talking, knows what he is talking about and is good at the game.Definitely got my subscribe

[@Trommealvar]

This is perhaps the best game demo video I've ever seen, nice work!

[@Mathute_87]

Some of the most professional videos I've ever seen, to ANY game. Subbed for life :P

[@ToastedIWaffles]

Never really been into Arma but your videos really make me want to give it another shot

[@Crazysworld91]

fantastic video. as is all of Dyslexi's video... I had no idea what the stance adjust key did, but I'm glad it's something as useful as low and high stances

[@eternalnullity]

i'm speechless, great great video, like how you talk, no bullshit no swearing, basically to the point! Great stuff.

[@someonesvagabond]

Bohemia, you are making one hell of a progress now, not only this game in its Alpha stage looks so smooth and simply beautiful, you are also fixing all the major issues previous Arma had. And if they succed in this game,and make the way it should be, I would put BI into my list of the best game companys.

[@TheInsaneObserver]

A good place to look whenever you don't know what keys to press is the keybind screen in options.

[@Gougar]

holy fuck

[@The_Jom]

Been watching your videos for awhile now and you always put out such high quality material, especially the tutorial type ones. It's very clear and concise, while still being thorough for those of us that want the nitty gritty details. Please keep it, you're great for the community!

[@jagageralla]

i bought arma 3 yesteday and i find your videos very helpful! thank you and i subscribed :)

[@TheStigma]

I find your voice incredibly calming to listen to :) That plus good knowledge of the game + arma3 alpha videos = instant sub :)

[@Pinochet6000]

To the point. Clear. Concise. Perfect video, thank you for this.

[@Bill_Garthright]

Thanks. I had it explained to me in the forum. I knew that 'X' was 'stand up,' but when I was already standing up, I didn't realize that pressing it again would cause me to crouch. ('Crouch' was listed in the control options, but there was no key given for it.) There were other things like that - a LOT of them. It's not hard to understand, once you're told about them. But going in blind is another story. (I had made notes of the key mapping, but that was of limited help.)

[@Bill_Garthright]

The forum really helped me, and so did a video by SideStrafe. The best thing EVER was learning that I could very easily go into the editor and experiment with the controls there, while enemies weren't shooting at me. :) When you have time to experiment, it's not so hard (although a few things really require some basic explanation first). Of course, it won't be easy to remember all that, not at first, but at least I'm not completely lost. Try the editor, if you haven't already. Good luck!

[@SeanDalynz]

Excellent guide. Intelligent and mature. You seem to have an good understanding of the nuances of the game, while being able to express them concisely. Much appreciated.

[@TelekineticKhai]

I like the way you explain things. Clear and concise. *thumbs up*

[@likeasumbody403]

Thank you so much for this informative video. Your points are concise, clear whilst appropriately short. What I like most are the new features in Arma 3 as opposed to Arma 2 and how it has become more fluid. I liked Arma 2's vast-ness, but as with many people, the movement was a little "unnatural". With Arma 3 going with a more fluid approach, I hope we will see many more people willing to get into it.

[@luismartini7058]

you are truly making a name for yourself... dslyecxi!

[@Dookie5OV]

Loved the sneaky Men in Black reference.

[@lftrdc]

Just wanted to say I really appreciate your videos. Thanks for doing them.

[@HereticActual]

you sir just earned yourself a subscribe! i had no idea about the adjust stance features. ( i like how in the tutorial you mentioned people coming from an Arma 2 background and accidently killing themselves and others because of the "G for gear" habit... and have killed myself and others several times before i decided to rebind it)

[@KevinExtremo]

Trust me, even though this is an advanced simulation, you'll be glad once you mastered it. It was really cumbersome to live by the limitations before. I feel "free" now while in combat and not as limited as I used to be in older games.

[@BartStarrrr]

Man your videos are the most thorough I have seen! Greatly appreciated!!!

[@talksforlife]

i just got this and its a freaking shell shock compared to my usual console games but i could not be more in love!

[@nomack23]

How can one possibly dislike a video like this?

[@fod3er]

Thanks i really needed some pointers on the stance :) Cant wait for the full game.

[@OurPlayTime]

Thanks for putting the time in this. Much appreciated!

[@SLeePYG727860]

You, sir, just earned yourself another subscriber with your thorough and concise explanations, plus nicely polished videos.

[@techyguy1]

I didn't even know about stance adjust. Thank you very much. Subbed!

[@ChiefRedCloud01]

Youor videos are great. But one suggestion for those like myself, put the keys up on screen that you are refering to for each stance or movement. It may seem extreme but it is visually helpful.

[@diegthos]

really good quality video don't see many channels on youtube bringing this quality!

[@chopin999]

your videos are always so polished, nice work dslyexi. see you on the battlefield :)

[@Timlee137]

First of all, good video Dslyecxi. Very Concise. Arma 3 looks impressive so far. Here are my thoughts (apologies if someone else has already brought these up or these are being addressed). - It would be nice if grenades were aimed with the free hand. - 1st person should have an indicator to show what stance/substance the avatar is in. - If weapon resting is implemented, it should be how it is in the Red Orchestra series. - Low-ready position? (nice that it is at least used in jogging)

[@TheStigma]

I'm very impressed with the presentation, detail and editing in this. I will definitely keep an eye on this channel towards release :)

[@soldier68able]

Im glad they allowed to add the old Arma 2 Present :3

[@norcofoxrider]

this looks absolutely outstanding i think i will need a new video card to experience this awesomeness to its peak

[@TearsOfWar1]

I'm happy they changed the reticle and doesn't have a negative acceleration.

[@bleyland629]

Dear Dslycxi NEVER stop making tutorial videos :) Thanks lol :D

[@NTTuber]

150k views! Nice! Finally Arma gets the recognition it deserves!

[@Sunrunner663]

ArmA 3 is my first ArmA (except of DayZ) you helped me a lot! Thank you :)

[@Beens17]

Amazing !!! Arma 2 always felt not realistic when it comes to movement. I'm so happy to see they went a bit more "arcade" with the animations. It makes it MUCH more fluid. Awesome video! Thank you.

[@H3PTIC]

I didn't even know about arma until dayz but right now, the sheer detail and pure awesomeness of this game i am wondering why it isn't more popular :)

[@Gufberg]

I'm completely stunned with the quality of this. If i could double sub i would.

[@ragnaruq]

i just bought arma 3 and its my first game of the series and im so freakin excited about learning how to use the editor in depth

[@seeuther2012]

wow those graphics are crazy beautiful almost looks real

[@VHJGaming]

One word comes to mind when I see this & that word is Awesome!

[@MrJesseforsell]

Im sitting here smiling because this video makes me so happy as a gamer! ^_^ have to uppgrade my pc though... You earned a subscriber

[@sklassen13]

You are so helpful, I have never seen a better tutorial. Happy Gaming.

[@tcvm]

The guy who uploaded this video founded the worlds best ARMA Community. Over 300 people with 1000 emails a day for pure ARMA

[@CoolKat566]

Wow, I couldn't be happier with Arma 3! Its's gonna be a good year :)

[@MasterFuck3000]

outstanding work gentleman! keep it up Dslyecxi!

[@andysim232]

that stance system is amazing!! i love it!!!. Thank you Bohemia for keeping our beloved game alive. PS spotted the Men in Black referance!

[@vlad220]

sigh, i read that link you put about adblock. lol, while it lasted, ignorance was bliss, but hey, I watch youtube all the time and want to support people like you, so i unblocked youtube ads. Keep it up Dslyecxi.

[@Farhanif]

Stance adjust is a MAJOR advantage..... .... for an in-game group photo.

[@AviticusDragon]

Great video, thanks for taking the time to explain the mechanics!

[@MrSkyfisher]

I LOVE YOUR THUMBNAIL!!

[@JohnnyDoeDoeDoe]

Awesome video! Great first look and preview of the game for me!

[@foist101]

Its a game option (you just hold ALT). Dslyecxi here is using a TrackIR that essentially lets you move your head around to do that instead of holding ALT and moving your mouse.

[@marcusjborg]

Very well constructed and thought out. Thank you

[@fpsG87R]

I'm a veteran of O.I.F (operation Iraqi freedom), and I will be completely honest here. Arma 3 is by far, the absolute most realistic looking and functioning game that I have ever seen. Fact: Military Simulation Training Modules do not even look or operate at this quality of mechanics. What Arma has become is something that I cannot describe. It truly leaves me speechless. I cannot wait for the final finished product to be released.

[@AlfaHazard]

I just watched this video before the Alpha came out and now PCgamer featured your video.

[@MAZE002008]

Game mechanics look extremely smooth now, cant wait for the full release.

[@whitenoise97]

Man this is awesome:D love how you use the models to map out movements etc xD

[@ShilohVideoGames]

You're welcome. It seems like a lot to take in at first, but you get the hang of it pretty quickly.

[@IceDragon978]

Looks badass. I might actually grab this on release.

[@RangerXML]

This is pretty epic, making movement a lot more natural then ARMA2. I was one of the folk that avoided ARAM2 because of the unnatural movements.

[@MickHughes1986]

I agree :) it's been in development for years! But you must admit that they got the concept right. It's somewhat surprising that ARMA 3 didn't incorporate a similar mechanic.

[@SKULLHEAD968]

Now dayz on Arma 3. That would be AWESOME!

[@tapiooftapiola517]

As for your key binds setup: Caps Lock if you use it also means that shift is pressed and makes (in default key binding) your character move fast. Conflicts.

[@iGame360fficial]

"High Prone" is actually called "sniper sit" I believe. But really good tutorial. I didn't know you could go on your side

[@Butterman1893]

Really the Manuel! Everyone changes or binds keys differently. Especially a larger key layout like the Arma series.

[@Bat0541]

This is a great video, I am not a regular Arma player and you still made this interesting and enjoyable to watch as well as so well explained and this definetly makes me more confident about the Day Z standalone because I did have huuuge gripes about the controls for the mod, thanks a lot for this video.

[@Chemicalnurd]

Am I the only one who finds the high and low prone poses hilarious? :P One looks like your legs are dislocated and hanging limply in front of you, the other looks like you decided to give up and flop to the ground in a manner similar to that of a fish out of water. Still, I love these features, so useful :P

[@blakesleeful]

Everyone seems to be missing the point of this video... Thanks for showing us how intense movement and stances are in this game. I barely even use first person becasue 3rd person is so much more practical. Dslyecxi, you are the man and i will continue to watch these fantastic videos. BTW, add me on steam if you play alot ;) Killa40rnia.

[@Saputra_Chan]

View after 8 years, still good. Hoping to get the new update

[@TeamTango]

Great tutorial thank you!!!!

[@kitsunemesis]

Your explanations are very easy to understand. Do you have any guide like this that talks about Arma 2?
