steved 0 Posted September 17, 2017 Hi, Playing through Arma 3 campaign again as a single player, and am loving it all over again. The Apex DLC looks interesting, and I note that it has a co-op campaign, but can the campaign be played as a single player, or do you need to be part of a squad, or playing with friends or other online players? I read a post from someone who completed the first mission alone as a sniper, but is this possible for run-of-the-mill players, or elite hard core Arma 3 experts only? Do I need friends? Cos...sniff...I got no friends...WAH!! Check Six Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terramesa 66 Posted September 18, 2017 This thread doesn't belong in this sub-forum. It belongs in something like general or Q&A. To answer your question; yes, the Apex campaign "Apex Protocol" can be played solo. Though it won't be the singleplayer experience you're used to, it takes the form of a co-op or multiplayer mission. i.e. no saving, it has respawns instead. It can be completed as any class/ loadout provided in the spawn screen. Marksman, Rifleman, Autorifleman etc. it doesn't matter. Any mission specific items will be given to you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stburr91 1005 Posted September 18, 2017 I know this thread needs to be moved, but I'll ask this here now. Does anyone know if BI still plans to do a proper single player conversion for the Apex campaign? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terramesa 66 Posted September 18, 2017 iirc I think they're leaving Apex Protocol as is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's voice files in "dubbing_f_exp.pbo" for the SP version of Apex Protocol so probably. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm too lazy to check... what kind of voice files? Anything interesting among it? We know they wanted to work on a better singleplayer experience, because it was announced back then with the roadmap, I think. We haven't heard a single word about it ever since, though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just voice files for Watchtower and the CTRG team. Their voices sound kinda different but there's new lines entirely, and the folders are named "m05_sp" for example.

lexx 1363 Posted September 18, 2017 Cool. Either it's old cut content, or maybe we actually do get a singleplayer overhaul for it. Not sure how to effectively make some of the missions work well, though. Especially the slog at the end of the last mission comes to mind... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last info I saw was in the roadmap article where BI stated their intention to convert the campaign to single player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stun 5 Posted January 24, 2018 Has anyone seen any official information since the original road map saying that BI still intend to convert the campaign? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
