A Fustercluck in ArmA 3: Contact

Making contact didn't happen in Area 51 - no, it happened in Poland. Because Poland can into space.
Hope you enjoyed my playthrough of ArmA 3 Contact. Tried to get this up and quick because I've got to head off soon, but I honestly really enjoyed that. Wish it had a bit more of an expansive ending, but still really good fun. Facing ArmA 3 Aliens, in my ArmA 3 Milsim? It's a good day.

@Eltaccos I've yet to buy it myself so I'm not sure about the story beyond what I've seen from a few channels but it doesn't seem like their arrival is properly explained, though if I had to guess judging by the alien's behaviour they're probably there to help at first, but after the LDF makes their pro gamer moves and attacks I wouldn't be surprised if the aliens are supposed to return in greater force in a future update or ArmA title, given the way the airwaves at the end of the DLCs credits get blasted with alien transmissions during the last few seconds.

Slavic country? Check. Heavily forested? Check. Aliens coming briefly? Check. So when do we get a roadside Picnic tie-in?

[@basedeltazero714]

​@@Ijisakura I think that what's going on is: There are *two* groups of aliens. The group that planted the 'roots' and the group with the ships. The roots are spread throughout the galaxy, overtaking planets and doing... something. If I had to guess, something like... collapse the planet into a wormhole to create a transport network? The ships, quite simply, came to stop this from happening. Their intention was benevolent - or at least helpful to humanity, but when the Livonians opened fire on them, things got hairy. Either out of spite or possibly because they were concerned the attack would escalate to an actual threat, the ship in Hopi warped out. Fortunately you were able to stop the Livonians from destroying the core and unleashing its tremendous power, and without the others it's inert... at least for now. And then at the end, some time later, the ships came back, the sudden burst of static caused by the wake of their warp drives. It's not clear why, but I suspect it's in order to get reinforcements. Hopefully they aren't feeling too spiteful, and just want to secure the core, rather than actually using their warship or whatever on us.
