I never figured out how to play arma. I downloaded it, and there was no multiplayer, no lobbies nothing. just single player. I assume you have to look up mods, download them, and then get into those modded games? anyway it was always doen shitty

@@shityoutubeshit it’s really quite easy nowadays. Look up a video. Search for something like “how to join a multiplayer server arma 3”

[@gianrossi007]

Great video! I got to complete a whole Antistasi campaign on Altis with a bunch of friends. It took us 5 months playing on weekends, and it was totally worth it. The late stages of the Antistasi campaign feels like total all-out war, with simultaneous battlefields going on and with a faction Commander deploying and moving AI teams on the whole map. It really is a great mode for different kinds of players, including the tactical leaders (that like to plan ahead, be in charge of logistics, etc.), and the run-and-gun guys that only like to blast enemies.

[@ylsgaming]

So far it feels like an incredible all round game mode for noobs and pros. We're almost done our video showcasing part 1 of our liberation on Sahrani

[@narvol503unique]

Cool, but how do I install the friends?

[@Anti-Villain-Wolf]

I've watched a couple of your videos on ARMA, and I have to say you're one of the best channels for basic tutorials. You keep it simple, you explain it well, you show us while you're doing something, and you show failure. Not in this video, but in another one where you were killed twice by enemies. I think that's a good thing, because it shows what can go wrong. You sir have earned another subscriber. I think it would be cool to see you guys livestream your games on Fridays, if you haven't already, I'll check and see later. Keep up the great work!

[@bklough]

Awesome! So stoked to see another 'Tuber promoting Arma 3 -- and the Antistasi mod too! I'm old skool Arma and this is one of my favorite mods. And seeing the "new sub" and "I'm playing this" is great to see for you and the game! Right on! And for the "jumping in folks": 1) Arma's unforgiving and not your typical "run and gun" FPS type game. 2) "All the control keys!!!" is a myth. Basic WSAD, reload, weapon swap, crouch/prone, zoom, and run/walk is all ya need to get going. 3) This is an Arma 3 mod. It's designed to promote tactical, strategic, and "big picture" thinking, with a bit of hilarious "uncover" fun once you figure it out. Thanks for the video and keep rocking, dude!!! (IMHO, bolt action beats MP5 every day, all day long. :-)

[@ylsgaming]

Haha thanks man! I was really surprised to see how many people this video helped. Has me motivated to keep promoting positive arma 3 content!!

[@bklough]

@ylsgaming9720 you've got a good "streamer presence" and Arma's drawing interest these days. Great combo! Hey, I've been playing some form of Arma for near 20yrs and I tuned in and liked it. Run with it, dude! New folks learn and relate; Arma vets relive the joy of starting out. :-)

[@ylsgaming]

@@bklough I appreciate those words! Your comment, plus many others on these two videos I recently posted have convinced me to go with it and keep offering content on arma for you guys!

[@timmiller5217]

Just found Arma 3 and your channel. Your channel is why I made the purchase. I’m brand new to it but not intimidated thanks to the content you’re putting out. I’ve been away from video games for a long time but got the itch to dip my toes back in. I’m working on learning the basics but would love to maybe join you guys online sometime if you have room for another new guy. Keep putting out the content! Thx!

Thank you so much for discovering this modification for me. The game has been in the library for 10 years. I'm finally going to play it!

[@picatdim]

Great video! I was somewhat familiar with Antistasi from watching a few different KZbinrs play it, but I'm really new to actually playing ARMA as well and have never played ARMA multiplayer, just been messing around a little in the Direct Action mod by BillyEatWorld. It's great, but I feel like I'm ready to move on to Antistasi and get a little more context and "lore" for my actions in-game. You did a great job explaining how Antistasi works. I'm gonna make sure I've downloaded the same Antistasi version you did, and then I'd definitely be interested in joining your Antistasi campaign with your friends as long as you're not already overloaded with too many people :)

[@ylsgaming]

We’d love to have you! We don’t actually have any extra people aside from the original 4 yet. All I need is your discord name so I can invite you to my discord server and then we can go from there. You don’t need need to download any mods yet because I can provide you with a mod list directly in discord that will have your arma launcher automatically download all the correct mods we use. But yes I was in the same boat as you recently, I was ready to feel some accomplishment and antistasi does a great job at giving you a sense of progress! We’re probably 20 or 30 hours into our liberation and we don’t even have a 3rd of the map liberated yet

[@FiddleRipBong]

I have been intdrested 8n ARMA3 for years. Stayed away because of the overwhelming amount of mods and dlc. This seems to make it easy to drop in and get comfortable. Now im interested all over agin.

I love that I helped inspire you to get into it. I can honestly say for a 10 year old game, it’s still incredible and holds its own in todays standards

[@viking6985]

what do you mean ? you can just play the game vanilla ... also installing a mod is nothing

[@ylsgaming]

@viking6985 I understand where he is coming from. The game does make it easy to install mods which is great but it can be overwhelming when some mods don’t work or some contradict with others. And especially if you’re not familiar with modding. Arma overall is overwhelming for some people. That’s why I like sharing what little I know of it means helping others get into the game with a little less stress.

[@johjoh9270]

Honestly, a great multiplayer mode that players somehow never liked was End Game, but only the ones that weren't Feres, feres was a bit too large of a scale for End Game IMO, End game Zaros, Kavala and Tanoa maps were amazing

[@ylsgaming]

Tell me more. Is it an AI game mode? Our arma community is only made up for 4 of us so far so we need AI based games to keep banking hours and learning how arma works on a larger scale. As we all know it’s a huge learning curve to get into the game, but what we do know so far has us super excited and eagerly awaiting our Friday night sessions

[@johjoh9270]

@@ylsgaming Hmm well no, it's primarily PvP, although it has both components Basically: Fairly quick matches (probs under 30 min for End Game Zaros, they can become longer as the scale increases) 2 Teams, objective is to find the location of an important intel device, then bring that device to a specific location and "upload" the contents of that device to win In order to find out the location of that device teams need to do a few things that involve mostly PvE, firstly, they have to stablish an FOB, by clearing an AI outpost, then they have to go to specific locations and meet different objectives (also AI but common to both teams so they can face each other) which can be clearing an area, interacting with something (like, just get in, grab something and leave) , downloading data from a laptop (for which you need to stay in the vicinity of said laptop for a while, the closer you are the faster teh download, the more people you have with connection the faster as well), some objectives can be completed by both teams, some others cannot or one team might disable it (in the laptop case you can shoot the laptop) after doing it themsevles to prevent enemy from gaining anything from the objective Each objective also gives you access to different gear at FOB, either accessories, vehicles, weapons etc Once a team finds the info on the important device, both teams can gather the device and upload it (each team on a different location, upload works similar to laptop download ruleset) to win, the team that first meets enough objectives can see the initial position on map, once someone picks the device they are marked on map as long as they stand out in the open (won't be marked if traveling beneath trees or inside buildings), enemy team has to prevent them from coming close to their upload point, steal the item and travel to their own upload point themselves End game Zaros is 8 people, 4 per team, pretty quick and small scale, Kavala was 16, Feres 32, I don't really like Feres cause there's too much going on for the kind of game mode, makes no sense to have IFVs, APCS and whatnot IMO for this kind of game mode, but that's each to their own, something that the Altis layouts have in common is each time starts on opposing sides with the objectives in the middle, some objectives usually belonging to fixed teams since they are closer, something I loved about Tanoa layouts is it was more similar to a race, they both started roughly from the same location, and "raced" each other for the same objectives, you have to ballance out how much you wann clash with the opposite team in order to still advance and do your thing, disrupting enemy ops was more viable than in Altis maps as to slow them down and gain an advantage

[@IanezzieBuxton]

@@ylsgamingthis mod is definitely PVE

[@flymakergames]

@@ylsgaming It is a mixed game mode. 4x4 8x8 each side fight through a city, searching for Intel in ceratin spots. You need to clean the AI and collect data. The team who catch all files first gets the advantage After all that they get the location for upload this data and win the match.

Been playing ARMA since 2001 with Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis. The watch button should be "o" if I remember right (but you took the chemical thing instead which is why you couldn't find it). It's been a few years since I played ARMA 3 but I think I'm starting to get a hankering for it once more. I remember discovering Antistasi in its much more undeveloped state years ago and wanted my friends to play it with me but couldn't convince them. It wasn't until SovietWomble made a video on it that they got interested, pffft. Still haven't actually played beyond 1 session of it so maybe I'll look for a server that runs it persistently.

[@ylsgaming]

So since I’ve made this video, I have gained a large following through my discord server. And since then we have hosted a 24/7 dedicated antistasi server that we manage daily. We are almost 4 months in now so we have ironed out many issues and we’re to the point that we host group events to liberate different parts of the current map. If you and your friends are looking for a friendly community to come play antistasi in all its glory, then look no further and join my discord channel. For more information, check out my most recent video upload on youtube. I hope to meet you on the battlefield soon :)

Make sure when you launch your server that you select “internet” and make sure the box is checked that says “UPNP” When I did that and left the port number alone when creating the server, I got a message saying “trying to port forward” and then it showed me the map selection which indicates the automatic port forwarding worked.

I created a server but after leaving I can’t find it to continue playing where I left off… any ideas?

[@ylsgaming]

When you create the server, you have to type a name on so it saves. Also I think the automatic save in the perameters is only set to every 60 mins. I switched mine to every 20 minutes. And lastly when you go to log out, go to the sign at HQ of the world map, stand in front of it and use scroll wheel to see the options. Select game options from there and there should be a interface save button called “persistent save”

[@EJayWalker]

@@ylsgaming okay I’ll do some more research. I have a name. I did do the persistent save, but didn’t let it autosave yet. So if I get off as the host will others still be able to jump on and play? They should right? Since it’s an internet server?

[@EJayWalker]

@@ylsgaming Yeah I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I have saved it and named it and everything but I have to go in and host a new server every time. My saves are there when I load in but my server isn't staying there for people to join. 🤷‍♂

[@ylsgaming]

Yes that’s right, you’re hosting that server from your computer and just BROADCASTING over the internet. So when you shut down the server, it dies with you. You would have to rent a dedicated server from a company that rents servers for it to always be available for other to join. We just did exactly that on my discord channel (link is in the description) we have a group of positive people and we host a 24/7 dedicated server of antistasi.

Yes but, in some cases of Kp liberations, u have to touch some things that makes the mission too better and, belive me, the misison is too much better. In some cases, the zeus is blocked, and Zeus is very important to play alone, that is in sumary what is more important, if the Zeus is not working, dont play alone. This is just an advice hehhe

Not if you use MCC and Zeus enhanced. Its what I do in KP liberations and I have never had an issue. Sorry if that sounded a bit dickish, wasn't trying to come off that way. Also under parameter's when in the pregame lobby you can disable limited zeus so that its not blocked at all@@bilobiu

[@sleepingrrandom2876]

I can't exactly say this is "Noobie friendly" because arma in itself already has a steep learning curve. This game takes that up a notch, especially with how aggression and AI adaptation works. Ambushing a convoy? Try that again with an MRAP, did it again? T.A.N.K.S. Used a mortar? better not be at your base! Killed a little too many during a raid? here's a drone that's followed by QRF filled with spec-ops that has armored support from every armor available within a 5KM radius. I love antistasi but I can't really say its a good choice for new players.

[@ylsgaming]

Well I can honestly say that myself and my friends are noobs when it comes to everything arma 3 offers as well as how the AI works. And antistasi has been the first mode that we got involved in that we actually understood and found ourselves itching to get together for another session. We’ve been spending our time winning over smaller towns and stealing supplies from the occupants. Maybe it’s not for all noobs but after weeks of getting frustrated and server hopping and trying to find decent coop missions from the workshop. We felt like we found something worth playing that saves our progress as we go when we found antistasi. This video was made to help people like us who were doing constant trial and error and never feeling satisfied. I searched for fun game modes on youtube for like minded people and couldn’t find much so I felt it was fitting to post this video.

That’s great question. I will have to look into this and maybe make a video in the future. But know that the AI in arma 3 is actually pretty fun to fight with. They make decisions that other games AI would never do. One of the main reasons I love arma is because of clever they were in development.

[@SinisterBandit18]

Antistasi is probably one of the more advanced game modes to play haha. Liberation would of been a better choice. Or even king of the hill is a better choice… and don’t require a mod.

[@ylsgaming]

Well I played king of the hill as a beginner and it was not fun. Too chaotic and left me no room to learn the mechanics of the game at a reasonable pace. The arma 3 official website agrees with me and says it’s great game mode for both vets and beginners. I’ve also provided some getting started videos for players learning antistasi. I like the looting aspect and the sense of progression, sort of like the altis life servers but without the intense learning curve

[@SinisterBandit18]

@@ylsgaming have you tried liberation? It is similar to antistasi. Gather supplies to increase resources at your main base. I can see how king of the could seem chaotic but to me is just basic combat don’t really need to know many mechanics. But I’ve played arma since operation flashpoint. And to me I would say antistasi is one of the more advanced game modes to play mostly because of the mechanics in the game mode such as going undercover and what not. I watched the whole video and you kind of proved it to be a harder game mode to learn. But to each his own. Do great job explaining stuff you knew. You should of played more so you could give better info. So much you left out but you did get the basics covered

[@ylsgaming]

Well if you haven’t gathered from my narration in the video, I said that I spent weeks as a noob trying to find a multiplayer game mode I could enjoy with friends with a sense of progression to get me over the arma learning curve. So yes, FINALLY I found that game mode. And clearly it’s helped many other people do the same. I know it’s an old game mode, there is lots of KZbin content out there about it, but for noobs alike, finally a game mode that is fun and not overwhelming pvp action or altis life servers like most noobs stumble upon in their first experiences with arma 3 multiplayer.

[@IanezzieBuxton]

I’ve unloaded all my mods but every time I try to play this mod all the guns in the arsenal have no ammo any ideas what’s wrong?

[@ylsgaming]

So the way it works is you have to loot enemy supplies. So you have to manage mags in your arsenal. But once you put have looted 25 of one mag, you will now have unlimited supply of that mag. Same goes with anything. Gear, guns, personal medkits. Once you’ve stolen 25 of any object and deposited into your arsenal, you’ll have unlimited for the remainder of your save game! I hope this info helps

[@IanezzieBuxton]

Thank you I thought you would start with at least 1 mag

[@ylsgaming]

@@IanezzieBuxton I think the starting guns have unlimited mags. Do you know where to find the mags? When you’re in the arsenal, you have to click on either your clothes, your vest or your backpack on the left side and if you look far right on the screen, you will see a little picture of some mags and explosives. That’s where you get your mags out of the arsenal. Let me know if this helps

[@Scurvyrot]

In case you haven't found it - go to arsenal, pick your gun first, then click on a vest or backpack, now look to right side of screen, you'll see all items which can be placed in that vest or backpack, including mags for the weapon you chose.

[@Celticus_]

If you like this kind of mod you should try the Liberation mod made by Tominator-007. It's not popular at all but it's by far the best Liberation I've ever played and it's been adaptated for a lot of maps

[@Winters465]

Why is it the best?

[@ylsgaming]

Yes please tell us why it’s the best. I love finding hidden gems within arma!

[@Celticus_]

This Liberation mod is an improvement of the original mod made by KP. Everything has been enhanced to make the mod playable in solo or with few players. The mod has been configured to make the most of what Arma 3 has to offer. There are almost no dependencies to play it (except for maps from mods/dlc or factions from mods). If you want to play with your own selection of mods, you can do so without any issues. This mod is the best compromise between fun and realism. Everything is done to make the mission as realistic and coherent as possible without being boring. What I like the most is that Tominator has created unique secondary missions that you won't find in other mods and that have a real strategic interest. All I can advise you is to try it and form your own opinion, but personally, it's my favorite mission

[@Celticus_]

I find that the mod is more enjoyable to play than Antistasi. It's typically the kind of mod that is simple to understand but hard to master. I also find it more accessible and rewarding for new players. There's no money system to manage; the resource system relies, initially, on crates to be collected and, subsequently, on the operation of factories.

The thing he lacks in mentioning is alot of mods for arma 3 have over 20+ dependencies which makes it useless unless you constantly click into them to keep subscripting seperately its such a hassle and bohemia just doesnt care about it at all arma 3 is such a hassle of a game especially for beginners like myself they target one specific category of human beings if you have disabilities/challanges this is not a game you could adapt to easily at all i bought the game in october 2022 and i just figured out how to put a preset together for a controller since i cant game with keyboard and mouse bohemia lies about possibility it can be done they dont want to do it and thats that

[@ylsgaming]

So controller support is tough with arma 3. That I agree with. But as for the rest, not so much. We have had 4 or 5 people that have joined our discord server. We have showed them how easy it is to get the needed mods to play along side us (you don’t need any mods to enjoy arma if you don’t want to, we just choose the mods we use because it adds a lot of realism) We have a few people who really struggle with fps games and they have personally told me that they absolutely love this game now that they’re into it. None of the mods were using have more than 1 or 2 dependencies. If you’re interested in enjoying the game, I recommend joining our discord server and joining us for a game!

In doing so a guy 1 tapped me from a destroyed building(Yes, he shoulda already been dead, since we collapsed the building on his head). Then another guy, again, from a destroyed building, one tapped my team mate. Then as we came back to the zone to figure out what the fuck just happened a CH53 appeared with 2 UH1s and about 100 more guys poofed out of thin air in the field like 100m away from us.....
