Arma 3 Milsim is dead

Arma 3 Milsim is Dead.

Yes, there are still private milsim events. But public Milsim is dead. Replaced by Squad.

Arma 3 has been invaded by 12 yr olds who want to play LIFE, KOTH, and EXILE mods. Open up Arma 3 server browser right now and I can 100% guarantee these will be the most played game modes.

Goodbye Arma 3, the Military simulation days of Arma 2 are so far long gone. We had a good run.

Its pointless to switch on Squad because they are toxic 12 years old community on every games these days and well Arma is not in early acces and he has acquires immortality thanks to his modding community and you got a complete Editor and if you dont play a game or switch to another game due to some members of his community being toxic you dont deserve to play any video-games (sorry for my english i am French)

Seriously,PR is the only game i actually have fun as a public mil-sim i have tried Squad on a friend's account a few times but it still doesnt entertain me as much as Project Reality does same with Arma 3 i have been a huge fan of the Arma series i still play Cold War Crisis and seeing it to fall like this just really kills the mood.

I've been meaning to try out PR. How big is the community and how often are servers full, and what timezone are they most populated?

I am living in EST timezone and i havent really paid a lot of attention to the timezone on when everyone is online but the community is really active,the HOG server which was 100 player slots is always populated and is sometimes a pain to get in for how populated it is the community is dedicated to everything and are not sympathetic with people without microphones or newbies,obviously PR inspired Squad to be developed but it has so much content that it even has 2 submods(Vietnam which is integrated in Vanilla PR and PRWW2 which is still in development) people organize squads in fast paced action and it is simple as well so its not hard the the thing that makes PR so good is the replayability,so many maps in different wars(ficticious wars,vietnam,falkland,iraq,afghanistan) have different objectives every match which really just makes it feel more natural,the sound design is incredible,effects for a BF2 mod are really good as well,animations are just fantastic and again the amount of content makes it just worth playing.

if you want milsim join a group public milsim has always been in my opnion unorganised and generally no fun to play

[Dick Caught In Fan]

public groups are typically a revolving market with people who have no skill, no maturity and no drive to change either.

If Arma 3 was more like Squad or PR, I would play so much more often but now I never play anymore. It just takes so much time to get into a game. Everyone has a different opinion on the MILSIM experience they want to have. Some people like respawning, some don't.

Some people like driving in the back of a truck for 30 mins, others don't. Then if you do end up joining a private MILSIM experience(with varying levels of realism) it is gonna run at 20-30 FPS on a 1080ti. Then you just have to hope that you have to the free time for a private MILSIM operation on a scheduled day and time.

I respect the people who like this style of play and I did too but games like Squad and PR give you a streamlined MILSIM experience that is leaps and bounds above Battlefield series games but does not have the huge commitment that comes with setting up Arma 3 mods and private communities that often become toxic. The perfect middle ground between Arcade and simulation (though still in development and has a long road left to go) is Squad IMO.

Not sure if this is an Arma unit or a plug for a Cracker Barrel.

Squad is ruined

I recently fell into a superior piece of hardware, several. I decided to make a modded server, which is focused on tactical gameplay, co-op. Yes, the AI is modified and offloaded to HC's. There is thousands of new pieces of gear, and lots of maps. We are in the process of upgrading things, if interested, reach out =D

Nossa30, I have, and still am, writing my own HALO insertion scripts. We also teleport the players to a closer location, setup a FOP or an FOB, and move from there.
Our last Campaign was Friday night, we handled 3247 Infantry, 67 vehicles, and 19 objectives.

All done within 4 hours. I hope you are not serious about this thread because, SQUAD is where the 12 year olds sit and moan.
