I want to get into arma but I have no friends :(
I have friends but none of them care about video games :(
I'm into arma and my friends don't care about video games
>contact has no aliens
I get that Arma is "le serious military game" but i'll still never not be mad
>alien shit restricted to the single player
trash dlc
is arma still enjoyable solo?
its an interesting first contact scenario that fits and I don't know what people expected
They expected aliens because they literally teased aliens.
Yes, I have hundreds of hours literally just spent messing around in the editor.
are there not aliens? what do you even do?
The Zeus editor is one of the best worst editors ever.
It gives unparalleled mission creation, cutscenes, events, ect. and streamlines them VERY easily.
But it's also a laggy piece of shit and the AI sucks cock at following paths/orders their supposed to do.
okay thanks lads. should I just buy the complete thing or are dlcs hit/miss enough that I should select them?
Heres a list of the DLC's
Karts > Apex > Malden > Marksmen > Helicopters > Laws of War > Contact > Tanks > Jets
unironically wait for a sale, the game and every DLC goes on sale for 60 dollars total. The game itself goes as low as 10-15 sometimes
They expected aliens because they expected the devs would know that if you tease aliens, then players would actually want aliens. It's like releasing the karts DLC but its actually just a karts track deposited into the vanilla map

just join /a3g/
oh wait
heres why /a3g/ fucking died:
>Lack of workshop mods
>Lack of knowledge on how to install mods
>Lack of community help with installing mods
>Mandatory use of mic or you get ree'd at
>Overly autistic adminning and venting of missions
>Not enough Zeus's because people didnt wanna get yelled at for being bad zeus's
>People didnt know whether they wanted a super serious milsim experience or a balls to the wall experience which means you had people actively ruining missions and people calling you to ban other people because of milsim autism
>Community was too enclosed, autistic, and unfriendly to newcomers
t. former /a3g/ host
Why not try again?
>Discord drama will ruin everything
oh well lol
Wait, does Contact actually not have aliens? What the fuck.
Why the fuck did I even buy it
kek, should have bought EDF, you'd have fun too.
I already bought EDF.
Thats what you get for letting discord faggots take over.
I bought Contact and I am satisfied with my $28 tinfoil hat.
whats this "Zeus" thing I keep reading about?
This was before discord you retards, like 4 years before discord. It mainly died because like I said, the community was horrendous at welcoming and bringing in new people, while not allowing fun to be had unless you were REALLY autistic.
It's just not worth trying it again until Arma 4 comes out just because everyone who was originally in /a3g/ plays final fantasy or ss13 nowadays
isn't it as simple as saying "this server is for fucking around in" and "this server is for serious milsim autism ONLY"
You sound like the kind of person who was bullied out
It's not, because missions need some semblance of following whats happening, otherwise you get faggots halfway across the map doing nothing. You need the perfect mix of milsim autism and funsies or else you lean too far on one end or the other and it's not fun at all.
Best thing you could do is PVP, but Vehicles are so hilariously broken and people learn ballistics so well they can snipe you from halfway across Altis.
I hosted for /a3g/ missions for 2 years before I left. Wasn't bullied, left because I got bored and was just giving my observations as to why /a3g/ died.
so you're basically in the editor while people are playing?
you kind of need mic in arma
Yes, you can adjust mission difficulty and missions on the fly.
However, the community is split between scripted and zeus missions.
Scripted missions are a set difficulty but allow for better story telling and more immersive gameplay, where even the mission creator can play his own game.
With Zeus one player will always be out of the mission, but they can actively adjust the mission difficulty and challenges on the fly that the players are facing.
Just type with your keyboard, no need to shun poorfags out of playing the game entirely.
keyboard is too slow for pressure situations
No it's not you just need to git gud, I've used keyboard in Arma 3 for like 3 years before I got a mic. It's perfectly fine, but most people don't know how to read.
your a hindrance on the squad and a liability
Not him but I prefer textfags over micfags most of the time. Micfags are mostly just annoying whiners and spammers that think they’re witty and clog up the side chat.
This, textfags are based. Only thing micfags even have is TFAR which is tacticool. If your playing Arma where typing is a hindrance your playing Arma wrong. Arma is a slow paced game with bits of action. Not the other way around.
