Well, you probably noticed that there are no red dots on my screen I have no idea where the enemy is at. Enemy troops shot down the land drone (as you can see) but I also have an air unit on-site (see the sky?). Fortunately for me the local engineer who went on leave earlier today left the drones stationed on the base on standby, this allowed me to investigate the situation from a safe distance.
The screenshot above shows a self-made scenario in which the Altis airbase gets overrun by a small invasion force.
What sets Arma apart for me is that it really tries to give you a good impression of realistic combat. You're not going to fire your guns while driving, stuff like that. That's of course not saying that you can't go solo if you want to, but if you do then don't expect a perfect experience. That's why many vehicles have a crew onboard: a driver, gunner and the commanding officer. If you're driving a tank then you don't have control over the guns, it's as simple as that. where are you going to leave all those weapons? And that's not even mentioning all the ammo you'd need!Īnd when it comes to vehicles also don't expect to handle everything solo. And even if you do find ammo somewhere then there's no guarantee that it'll match your weapon either )Īlso forget about taking a pistol, assault rifle, sniper rifle and a rocket launcher with you because that would be way too much stuff to carry around with you at once. Ammo clips take up space and weight, and there are limits to what you can carry. And speaking of which: also don't expect to carry around endless supplies of ammunition either. For example: don't expect (serious) scenarios where you'll find ammo lying on the ground which you'll pick up just by walking over it things don't work that way in Arma.
Although you normally play Arma 3 in first person mode that's also where the similarities with regular FPS games will end.
