Does the Arma 3 lore have something to do with the Arma 2 lore ?

I want to acknowledge the lore of Arma 3 and I want to know where to start.

What are you talking about? The arma storylines are nothing yo do with each other

Lore? What lore?

There is a lore with all the Nato, CSAT, FIA stuff and stuff with Eastern countries like in Arma 2 so I wonder if Arma 3 and Arma 2 are in the same universe.

Arma 2 takes place in 2009 (I think), and so does its expansions. There's no reference to anything Arma 2-related in terms of story, though there are a few ION, Inc. logos and items in-game. For quick recap, ION is a private military company that got their own DLC for Arma 2.

Another bonus is that, in the Virtual Armory, one of the British English voices is of Frost/"Poet", the playable character of British Armed Forces and Private Military Company.

I don't think that Wikipedia can say what's happening in 2036 / 2030

The compleat ARMA series plays in the "Armavers". There is a Timeline in the community WIKI of BI. everything is conectet hear, from A1 up to A3 and DLCs of them all. In the "laws of war" DLC campanie is some talk of Takistan, this Provs thet all of this is the same univers.

There is an Arma lore out there but ive paid scant attention to it.

DAYZ is also there but perhaps on an alternate timeline.

Best place to look will be the BI forums.

FIA was mentioned in previous titles. Malden is in the first game. We've got a few references to Takistan and Sahrani here and there. Some NPC in the campaign seems to be linked to previous conflicts. ArmA made a universe for itself based on the one we live in just slightly altered. DayZ is most likely it's own branch into an alternate reality.
