Any Suggestions For A Good First Milsim?

[Meh__ 1]

So to start off; I'd like to apologize if this is in the wrong place.

 

 I've been playing Arma 3 since 2015. Despite this, I've never actually decided to try anything beyond the usual Invade & Annex, KoTH, or Liberation. It's about the time I think to start playing Arma in the way it's best played.

If you are willing to invite me to your group, you can message me over the forums, or add me at my steam; http://steamcommunity.com/id/NoUrlsLeft99 I can disclose information needed for possible application in private, but I'm not willing to do so publically.

 

Once again, sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Have you tried any actual campaigns from the Workshop, or posted here in user missions?  There is much much more to Arma then just MP mode and shoot 'em up mindless combat like KOTH and such, and the user created campaigns are just fantastic...better than anything you can available anywhere in most cases.

 

Like Battle of Sangin or British Steel, Battle of Lythium/Fata, all of which are persistent insurgency campaigns, taking advantage of Alive mod, with weeks/months of game play, with all kinds of operations taking place throughout the theater by AI platoon - a full on dynamic war basically, where you are just one squad of an entire war effort- patrolling and looking for the insurgents.  If you are unsuccessful you're entire army will be over run eventually.  Very impressive stuff when you hear and see skirmishes all over the map...or come around a corner you've patrolled 100 times and all of a sudden there is a heavily defended road block...or you're ambushed as you talk to civilians.  Just fantastic stuff!

 

Dynamic Recon Ops, Dynamic Combat Ops, Hunter Six, Dynamic Universal War System (many version of such); all of which take advantage of numerous maps, AI team and HQ commander, most of which have a full on dynamic war going on around you.  DRO is perfect with the Tanoa map, where you are tasked with recon ops, smaller squad to take out a HVT or destroy certain assets, etc.

 

Then  you have scripted campaigns, like Green Draw, Navy Seals:Blood Brothers, and stock campaign, just to name a few.  These are very good too, but I prefer the dynamic combat stuff...every evolving AO where you never know what's going to happen.

 

Again, if you are just doing MP modes as you stated, mod up your game and try some SP stuff and get the most out of this game.  You're really missing out on 99% of what Arma offers, especially if you're a military buff.

 

Good luck!

Yeah I've done lots of the single player content. It's not my thing though, I feel that Arma is just one of those games that is so much better with others. I feel that way about most sandbox type games.
