this game is kinda boring.

not really hating but you sorta do the same stuff in multiplayer if you dont have any dlc. i mean all what there really is is capture the flag/section of the map. i only have the base game and 33 hours of play time. If there are any other fun game modes please feel free to tell me. ive also played the singleplayer it was pretty fun. oh and i really dont like role player servers.

well, unless you get familiar with the editor it is limiting indeed. but editor opens up whole another world. and try mods like cup, rhs, jsrs, blastcore. you dont need dlc's at all. there lots of mods with maps and weapons, craploads of em.

do those mods have a pretty good playerbase to them?

there are servers but not your regular game mode (koth). there are some wasteland, epoch or exile servers etc. but like i said best way to enjoy arma is to use your own mods, create your own scenarios and play them coop with friends. thats why you gotta dive into editor.once you start to create those missions you want, and play them with weapon-map mod you want, arma3 is one of a kind.

Arma is definitely a game that asks you to make your own fun. Some things I suggest you look into: Life servers (I know you said you don't like them, but selecting a server that does not have a strong RP focus allows you to enjoy the systems that the game mode offers without having to roleplay), Exile servers, Dayz servers, realism units (plenty units do not need you to have DLC as they mainly work with mod content), and potentially using the editor as outsider suggested.

CUP and RHS mods are indeed quite popular, with good reason (note that CUP is only really a port of previous Arma content into Arma 3 so RHS has the edge in graphical quality). ACE is another set of mods that you may be interested in as it drastically changes many aspects of the game (my personal favorite ACE feature is the advanced version of the medical system).


I can agree that the capture/deathmatch/king of the hill thing some servers have is very boring, yet I've still managed to wasted almost 2,000 hours of time in the series avoiding them like the plague. With any luck, you'll find what you enjoy.

Its a group of players with their own servers and often their own mod packs who work together in their own custom missions to replicate a conventional (or sometimes unconventional) military force. Much more organized than casual Arma. This compilation should give you an idea of why we all love our various units XD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IspE0kUZ_B8

This is the funnest game I've ever played and the community is great. All the kids a.k.a. skweakers are playing on console. The community is mature and I'm just addicted big time.

Look for the CodeFourGaming No Towers King of the Hill server. There is more action because there are no towers to camp in so everyone is on the move.
