Arma 3 - SITREP I - Dslyecxi's Arma 3 Guides

[@ASUbudgfbkhuabfg]

I love Arma! Let's hope in the far future someone at BIS will be able to make the multiplayer FPS rise above 30!

[@Alphapara]

It's hard passing up icons like the HMMWV or the M16, but we got off the Jeep and the M1 at some point too. Technology is pushing us from upgrade to innovate. We're in the process of phasing out a lot of equipment. Our arsenal was designed to evolve, with the Abrams being an excellent example. They planed for the A1 and A2 variants but we're at the end of the list now,vehicles like the MRAP are showing up, and being set a few decades ahead, ARMA 3 is matching that. I'm curious to what they have.

[@Herbymac0811]

Hell ya man ! BLUfor is modeled after US Forces at work in the world of the here and now. What they have in the game is either up and running or in the final stages of R&D in the real world. OPfor seems a bit SciFi to me but new bad guys are always a plus ! As for the GREENfor well who knows which side they'll take but to me they look the best out of the 3 factions is all.

[@deafcommentor5039]

I've always enjoyed these videos. Thanks for making them Dslyecxi.

[@JohnnyDoeDoeDoe]

Love how much content comes out and how much Arma has evolved since Cold War Assault.

[@TheWarjunkie666]

I was on the fence for awhile, I will admit. Thank you Dslyecxi for persuading me.

[@TheOfficialRedsean]

I think they're planning on implementing a 3D editor.

[@Festias]

Wow, I upgraded to beta but I had no idea it had so much stuff! I saw the new vehicles but didn't know that the Arma II maps were added and a screenshot editor. AWESOME!

[@Druminator82]

"The shore on Altis is not far away" Ahh beautiful words!!

[@JojoJuhbo]

ArmA alone made me upgrade my pc. Love this stuff man. Maybe with the next gens they can make a suitable operation flashpoint without all the bugs. Yes I play console, it's ok nothing to get bent out of shape about :)

[@MrMouldybanana987]

one thing i really want is the ability to control the gun on the choppers with a trackir so you can look in a direction and when you fire it actually fires in that direction

[@leadminer21]

I thought the age of the PC game was over. Then I saw the Alpha and thought I would give it a try. I would now consider upgrading my PC just to play this. The mission editor is fantastic. I have now started creating simple missions and I've spent more time in game than I ever did in COD. Can't wait for the full game.

[@TheUbernuck]

I'm so excited to see shacktac play this.

[@RBAirsoft]

Love the Arma 3, but also fell in love with Arma 2 all over again!

[@Attackmack1]

Holy shit, my flashpoint nerves are tingeling once again!!! This will be the next big thing!

[@iDenyooL]

cannot wait for shacktac's arma 3 missions. Greetings from Australia

[@TheOfficialRedsean]

Yes, it seems that Dslyecxi gets to post the video on his channel a bit after the video is first posted on the Arma 3 channel.

[@RbitLsi]

Anyway, on to scene twenty-four, which is a smashing scene with some lovely acting, in which Dave Zember discovers a vital clue, in which there aren't any swallows, although I think you can hear a starling -oolp!

[@CyberNicolazzo]

I'm impressed by the lightning and the amount of details about gameplay. Is there any other war simulator as complete as this?

[@vader226]

Yes, the AI are mission based, but in the editor you can select the difficulty of each AI that you place down. So certain AI, pilot gunners for instance, could be of a higher skill caliber than some grunt on the ground, but for ArmA 3 the AI all seem to be terminator level special forces, and I'm look for a comfortable setting, not too easy and not unrealistically difficult.

[@GeistIV]

Damn. I can't wait to see what you and ShackTac do with ARMA III.

[@PR0J3CTW4RRI0R]

goddamn i love this channel.

[@X9alpha9X]

ArmA 3 looks so good that it almost seems like a full game!

[@aseticelite]

you are always awesome with your thumbnail selections... I'm really looking forward to what you might be able to pull up with the new camera.

[@The1RlyShadow]

I can't wait till tac gets some of their epic battles running on Arma 3

[@TheOfficialRedsean]

I think they play every now and then, (there is Arma 3 ShackTac gameplay on Dslyecxi's channel) but Arma 2 seems to be their main game. I'd assume that is because Arma 2 is home to the mods they use, and many of those mods haven't been moved to Arma 3.

[@LordXelous]

Dslyecxi - One thing I was hoping to see coverage of in ArmaIII is actually something you demonstrate - and that is large scale hypothetical US vs USSR missions - I personally assumed there would be coverage of that same kind of content as found in ArmaII in ArmaIII and was hoping you, in your great style, would showcase some of that action. However, it appears the features you highlight are new op & blu for components, not specifically the 1945-1989 era, about which not a lot is heard?

[@TheCornyCob]

Nice dslyecxi never fail to impress, indeed man! Keep it up

[@Tainted79]

Looks really cool, My main question is how much of a system killer is this game on your CPU & GPU compared to Arma 2? Would like to see benchmarks on various PC's, but I'll wait till launch

[@rasierzeug]

Good video! I just noticed that it seems a bit odd when the character at 2:42 jumps from his belly right into the sideways position.

[@FatalExceptionz]

Since Arma 3 is set in the near future it kinda sorta makes sense for there to be some new hardware developed and in service between now and then...

[@merrick362]

I like that they changed the scenery, but I hope there is a little more variety in the terrain on Altis. Valleys make for stale fighting after a while.

[@Seraj33]

I really adore that they added a third faction. I think it is more fun and interesting when its a bit more than just "Red vs Blue".

[@headrockbeats]

The flag on the Green Army uniform is driving me crazy. AFAIK it's not the flag of any actual existing country, yet seem so familiar anyway. Either BIS is going to invent a new country for Arma 3 (no surprises there) or they're going to change that flag on the uniforms once they're ready for the reveal. In either case, extremely intriguing. I'm still upset they didn't include the IDF though, that would've been awesome and would open so many opportunities for new vehicles and weapons.

[@djsvrlaivwfofj]

Probably for the same reason that the Vermin isn't called a Vector. I can't find an AH-99 or a Vermin SBR when I look them up, but I can find things that look exactly the same, RAH-66 and Vector. I think it's to get around trademarks for the names.

[@kninja50]

I'm super excited for ARMA III now. I just need to figure out when to upgrade my PC for the best price and performance.

[@wasteweb]

This looks amazing, great video! Have they made the inventory management any better? I remember it being very awkward and unintuitive to use when the beta came out. Also movement was very awkward last time I tried the beta, specially indoors and other CQC environments. Same issues as in Arma II, getting stuck on random things and places, unintuitive movement and aiming. Perhaps they've fixed that now?

[@BigEasy2112]

Most of them are in use, at least the blufor and greenfor vehicles. Some of them have different names, like the Blackfoot which is really just the RAH 66 Comanche, which unfortunately may never see service. I do agree with the sentiment though, I'd like to see the vehicles, factions, and weaponry from Arma2 ported over eventually.

[@FinTheDew]

In Arma3 will different guns have different bullet penetration powers? Like 50cal could easily shoot trough thick walls but an assault rifle would only be able to pierce just some of the walls?

[@blckopsownage]

I agree. I hope that they find someway to implement it.

[@grande521]

Who’s here from Prairie fire! I’m jumping back on Arma after many years of not playing it!

[@glennpeterson1357]

LOL! Love me some SOG!

[@MrDucenukEM]

Why would u dislike this video its informational not a opinion piece

[@MyNameIsBucket]

You could try turning the volume way up. I personally would rather have accurate sounds than Hollywood sounds.

[@Ozku9]

I was wondering if Arma 3 will have full length campaign (something like 7-12 hours) or will it only have scenarios that will take some time to complete?

[@examine1525]

If these weapons are futuristic, then how would we determine their internal ballistics and other ballistics?

[@StianF]

I wouldn't know, but I guess. Like when only the inside of the scope is zoomed, and the outside is 1:1 and maybe blurry.

[@intrepid_wandering]

Games that don't go open source are missing out. Thanks Arma.

[@Schnittertm1]

Besides the Russian and American attack choppers all vehicles are either already in use even today or at least in the prototype or testing stages.

[@zachhaigh5535]

Great video dslyecxi. Wish you could do some more in the Arma 3 beta. But anything's cool

[@TheMrNomadus]

Still can't play my Beta. The game stops loading whenever i connect to the multiplayer server and just shows me a loading screen. I can exit it by pressing ESC. Only full reinstall helps to connect me to the server for one time. Then if i load the game for the second time same thing happens. Alpha worked perfectly btw.

[@Griffinz100]

Goddamn I love this game. 4-year Arma vet, hoping to make that 40+ years.

[@djsvrlaivwfofj]

Wasn't the RAH-66 comanche canceled with only 2 made costing a total of 6.9 billion dollars? It was first designed in 1996 and canceled in 2004, so why is it in the future in arma 3? Did they announce continuation of the project?

[@joeracer302]

BIS has specifically said they are addressing sounds in Arma 3, they know it was a weak point of Arma 2 and want to improve it for Arma 3. However, I agree that the mods will probably still be better :)

[@TargetRodgers]

Dslyecxi, will the Arma 3 dev team include that unit customization menu you always show? If not, they should! It would be a great addition to the game!

[@TheGreekSpawn]

So strange that they made Stratis based on the actual terrain of Lemnos. Stratis(St.Stratis) is a small island next to it. Altis will be based on what? Also, they portrait it as Mediterranean battlefield although both islands are in the Aegean

[@Rohan96]

dslyecxi straight swaggin.

[@blckopsownage]

Like what Red Orchestra does with the Sniper Scopes?

[@williamtaftt]

is altis going to be released before lauch, or is it going to launch with the full version of the game?

[@TheAGCteam]

They need to fix the key-bindings though. It keeps bugging out for me when rebinding heli controls. And yes I checked all the key bindings to make sure it wasn't being used by another function as well.

[@DantezMaritu]

So Bohemia did implement your grenade idea? If so, I am proud that Bohemia is from my country.

[@jpvalve]

there is somekind of bug with helis when i press e even when i unbinded everything it starts to go forward :P

[@headrockbeats]

It's actually more similar to the flags of Guyana or East Timor - though the colors are way off for either.

[@vader226]

Dslyecxi, how high or low do you tune the enemy AI in ArmA 2 or 3 during your sessions? ArmA 3's AI by default are ridiculously skilled, and I'd like to know what setting you keep them at. Happy belated 4th of July

[@xboxplzfixme]

hey Dslyecxi. I'm curious to know, does Bohemia have any plans to integrate ArmA 3 with Steam Workshop at all?

[@21jayface]

Does Shacktac play Arma 3, because I haven't seen any arma 3 footage from u guys, or do you not record for other reasons?

[@AIMJaCoBy]

its already in there. some multiplayer servers have it

[@Tibialstone7]

Seriously dsylexci how do you achieve these cinematics? Apart from unitPlay and camera.sqs

[@ChewieLuke]

Oh man, my gaming PC is in storage. Hope I can get it back, and get back in to ArmA 3 soon...

[@paintmasterification]

Can not wait for the Ace mod for this

[@98abaile]

Cool stuff. Any idea if the game will support more players in multiplayer?

[@nalby92]

game is gonna be LEGENDARY!

[@GetSum63]

Mods will take care of all the things in A2 that are missing from A3

[@examine1525]

What about the Mark 200 and the FEAR?

[@gaminggalor]

man i cant wait until 40, settled down by now with a job and able to spend money on arma 6, i wonder if this will look like arma 1 does to us now by then or if it will still be looking high end, i guess only time can tell

[@larry365]

have you tried JSRS? big improvement.

[@EliteSoldierSuper]

Dslyecxi, once Arma 3 is released, will ShackTac stay with Arma 2, or will you guys be switching over to A3?

[@zombiesrathiz]

sounds good up til the ending, some of the last lines you spoke during the credits area sound louder and edited in.

[@noodles1916]

I actually like using the ar-15 family, but i see what you mean, definatly overused. I want to see more bullpups maybe a steyr an a3 or maybe an a4

[@BoogeyMan828]

I havent tried any mods for Arma 3 due to I mostly play BattleField and Arma 2. TBH i dont even know how to mod Arma 3. Is Six-Play how you download the mods?

[@macfanpro]

Yes, the RAH-66 was cancelled, and the flying prototype is currently moldering away in a junkyard. ARMA 3 doesn't have the RAH-66, it has the AH-99, which looks suspiciously similar.

[@Ozku9]

I know I'm not Dslyecxi but... What I know is that AI is often mission based, at least that's what I've seen when making (at best trying to make) some missions. I don't know if the ''difficulty'' setting will change the AI's skills somehow, might change or might not. Sorry to bother you if I did so.

[@Soccerrockker6]

Oh, in that case I apologize. Personally, that's why I haven't made the transition with my group and I figured you guys had the mindset. But uh yeah, I knew ACRE wasn't finalized yet, that's why I mentioned the full version of it.

[@iTROLLalone]

Nice dslyecxi never fail to impress

[@TenBensons]

I was thinking that too. Looks similar to the flag of South Africa imo.

[@jettdiff8573]

The ghost hawk at night randomly has a light on.. and just one.. and the nvgs are invisible lol so annoying

[@xGeorge1337x]

Excluding the Mi-48 Kajman, however that's a hybrid of the AH64 and the Mi24 so I guess you could say it is 'real'. I think everything in the game that is futuristic is based off real things in life.

[@Tainted79]

nice, hoping to skirt by with a gtx 760 & a quad 3.1ghz amd 645, I'll probably have to lower my res to 720p or 1600res to get decent fps

[@Herbymac0811]

Green Army looks pretty damn cool !

[@MrNeilSherman]

Happy Independence day ,Dslyecxi! though it might seem somewhat Ironic to say so in the wake of the surveillance scandals

[@paintmasterification]

JSRS is going to be created for amra 3 so dont worry

[@MaximilianSterlingTv]

Did the price between Alpha/Beta change?

[@Soccerrockker6]

There's not enough content and addons in ArmA 3 for them to do their full-scale games yet. They're waiting for ACE and the full version of ACRE.

[@OpTicBossaru]

ARMA is based in the "Near Future", so they can change things to work better, but still work in the story line. So no, not really, but if fits in the story.

[@0801436]

I am the only one around here that reads the description as soon as the video plays?

[@nimrodbegg123]

how often do you say that? i hardly ever hear that :D

[@Dizzyfatpigeon]

will all in arma run any better?

[@sapien82]

wow that war photographer thing looks amazing , will need to start taking flicks on our weekly mission nights ! Hey Dslyexci our clan IOGC are doing a charity night for cancer research would you be interested in playing ?

[@aseticelite]

I still think the grenade throw needs to be a little bit slower. To recreate as much of the real effort it would take.

[@applepie55555]

how did you costumize your weapons?

[@JakeGoober]

Just knowing how to make a beautiful shot. Experience, really. Having an eye for well planned shots is only learned through doing. Get recording!
