This game and DayZ when it was still on arma 2 as the mod are the reason I got into PC. I like to think I’m a Vet, but I still watch videos like these just to see the love this community still has for this amazing game that likely like myself began a journey of greatness for us all. Who else remembers PUBGs first release week on stratis? ❤️

[@nannertime]

I'm glad it's doing it for you :)

[@ARodTC]

AAAA video!!! seriously this video would have been so helpful back when Arma 3 released and props on Remaster. Both will be so helpful to anyone just getting into Arma. Your channel is going to explode soon but anyone watching this can see that you are ready! Keep doin what yer doin nanner!

[@nannertime]

Thanks Adam! Since you took your time with this feedback. I promise to make at least 1 more video 😆 FR, I would have loved this video when I first started playing in 2014. More on Remaster coming soon.

[@moneywithtwoos268]

This is exactly what I needed thanks man

[@Pudentame]

I started with ArmA 3 right after Contact DLC was announced. There was a Steam sale that gave the base game, Contact DLC (when available) and all the prior Bohemia Interactive DLC for less than half the cost of the game and DLC purchased individually. SO WATCH THOSE SALES! I'm currently trying to create my own first mod (scenario) - it's about 90% ready, but there's one thing I still haven't figured out how to do - eject from a jet at altitude & separate from the seat to go into free fall so the player can delay opening the parachute until a lower altitude.

[@k1llerlunat1c78]

Just bought this game on steam after playing tons of milsim and realism focused shooters. Fuck I’m overwhelmed like crazy with this. Trying to get the key binds for the 4 different types of aiming and toggling optics. Seems fun and feels great base without mods but damn.

[@NakulVBorole]

Awesome video in such a short time you explained everything. I bought this game in 2022 but didn't understood at all. I quit. I saw video bought additional content & playing. Enjoying a lot. Awesome game. It looks like real life scenarios simulated other games look like just game

[@nannertime]

Glad to hear it!

[@alfonsosolivan124]

I just got it today I love this game it’s so good for a 11 year old game the editor is insane first game I bought today after finally finishing my first pc I’m so happy wish more people still played

[@mugdho5522]

You have made a great video. I really appreciate your effort. Keep up the good work. Love from Bangladesh.

[@Offical_Texas_Red]

just bought it paid for all the DLCs, I've enjoyed it, very realistic I expected it to be a basic old game and boy I was wrong, also huge thanks for this great tutorial extremely helpful for someone who just started gaming. My take on Arma III, is how is it not outselling COD this game is freaking awesome

[@jimlthor]

The average "gamer" is dumb, or doesn't know these types of games exist. These types of games will eventually become popular once the population wises up. PC gaming has really taken off over the last 5 years, and the new consoles are also pretty beastly. So I expect Arma 4 to eventually become really popular

[@Offical_Texas_Red]

@@jimlthor I wish I could have known about this sooner, the realism is insane actually having real objectives, realistic ballistics, recoil, having to use realistic military strategy, like how you have to pay attention to world around you, the fact that you actually have to use a map and a compass and actually navigate, I mean how many other games do you have to measure out your distance from point a to b, and take into factor if an ambush may be set up or if you have enough squadmates to take the objective. The fact that you actually have to use cover and wood doors and crap like that aren't real protection there just concealment. It makes me realize how much allot of people are just missing out on,

[@nannertime]

They're evolving from Fortnite to Arma.

[@Offical_Texas_Red]

@@nannertime never played Fortnite seen allot of people play it though

[@pericleslegendario7022]

Just bought it today, let’s see how this plays out

[@RabidHobbit]

PSA: I don't know about Arma 3 Remastered, but be aware that mods often break the East Wind campaign, and it's a good idea to play that campaign with out any mods active. With one exception: you will need the Remove Stamina mod, because this campaign was designed before stamina was implemented. You AI squadmates will race ahead of you to the next objective, and you won't be able to keep up with them without the mod. Eventually, you'll get to a mission where this breaks the scripting and prevents you from being able to complete the campaign.

[@nannertime]

A3R is compatible with the East Wind Campaign. Any mods that don't work with it we're moved to RDLC or Addons

[@RabidHobbit]

@@nannertime Nice, thanks for the confirmation.

[@perspicacity89]

[@AnilYIGITOGLU]

thanks for the video. so much work to play an old game.

[@nannertime]

Hahaha yeah that fact that it's old and a simulator really makes it not a easy to pick up game.

[@AnilYIGITOGLU]

@@nannertime i kind of remember playing it about 6 years ago with my friends. I have only 40 hrs in and I remember nothing else about it. LOL I am sorry, I think I am unable to go back to this game but really I appreciate this video a lot.

[@nannertime]

Just play the Campaign and it's pretty straight forward 😆

[@luigisaguier8336]

Everything was top notch! That final "Contact" DLC recomendation is debatable, as the are literally cero benefits owning that dlc for multiplayer and even the single player campaign is terribly optimized, the worst Arma 3's ever been. Apex, SOG and Western Sahara are a must, and Global Mobilization's latest update has put that CDLC also up there among the must haves. All in all a very informative and much needed video. I am seeing new players coming in large quantities to Arma 3 lately and hopefully the devs are able to optimize the game with a new shader as that would be the final nail in the coffin for the terrible performance. Fingers crossed

[@nannertime]

For real. Fix the performance cap, and this game skyrockets in player-base in days. There are at least a couple of modders trying to crack the code to get some real performance boost too.

[@mirochlebovec6586]

Bought this for 6€ on sale. I’ve always wanted to play this game and now I’m for sure getting some of them DLC’s.😂

[@barrysworld640]

Wow such an informative video "nanner"! Enjoy military type games such as World of Tanks and many of the Total War games series. Know very little about ARMA 3 so your video was great to come across as I am seriously thinking of purchasing as game is on sale on Steam today for 80% off. Quick question. Do you need to play multiplayer to enjoy ARMA 3? Personally I am trying to get away from playing the online games such as WOT, WOW etc due to the high toxicity levels in chat, so hoping that single player ARMA 3 would scratch the military gaming itch. Subscribed! :)

[@nannertime]

Most people play Arma 3 Singleplayer. But, multiplayer can be a great option if you have a great group.

[@barrysworld640]

Thank you for your reply! Ended up buying Arma 3 and a few of the extra DLC and CDLC. Still floundering around in bootcamp and showcase scenarios, but bingeing on Arma 3 content videos including many of your great productions. So please keep up the great work sir! :) BTW: Just wondering about the use of mods verses not using mods when doing the early basics such as bootcamp, showcases and training scenarios to avoid any unexpected crashes or glitches. Any thoughts based on your experience? Thanks! :)

[@trusarmor4957]

good vid, great game.

[@pHixiq]

I will say after putting 170hours into the game, it is NOT as hard to pick up as it use to seem. It really isn’t to me 🤣

[@nannertime]

agreed. the real key is to know where to start, and just pay attention to the game. No talking to friends, no checking your phone, etc.

The servers are overwhelming but I guess you explaining warlord mode and I did try KOTH in a bit. First pve experience was quite plain...maybe because nobody was talking.

I decided to reinstall arma 3 after watching this. Did all the tutorials and trainings and I felt ready. I was immediately spawned with no clear goal and a slightly stacked inventory that I did not even know how to use (like the chemlight). I wandered a bit till I discovered the buy menu but until I do something, I was spawncamped with an RPG. After I decided to buy a hunter and drive towards the objective in a slight offroad manner and still I was just called an idiot. I hate a game that doesn't tell me how to play multiplayer while everyone's hating me for not knowing it. It it actually better to play league

[@nannertime]

your problem is jumping into a game mode that youre unfamiliar with. each game mode is modded has a varying amount of quality and guidance. you have to do a little bit of orientation for every game mode you try what you did here is like jumping into a random modded minecraft server.

[@someguy2347]
