What is the best mode for new players?

[CEO of La Responsabilité]

So I am completely new to Arma 3, and so far I have only played Domination mod and Wasteland. But both are quite difficult to me, any suggestions for me to play? And so far I finished all Arma 3 showcases. Except the Helicopter one.

Wasteland is my prefered mod but it's quite a hard game for single players. If you look around the internet there are lots of player made missions you can download that are good fun.

To improve your movement and aiming skills:

Death match mission (Free For All) with AI units:

Very difficult coop mission to try most of game items and to get used to Arma way of life:

I created these missions and they are fully explained so you will not get lost!

Always, if it is possible, play Arma with colleagues!

Have fun and welcome to Arma!

Either deathmatch or team deathmatch with friendly fire off.
All those maps/mods where you have to find your way around and not seeing anyone for a long time, can be quite overwhelming for a new player. That would mainly be Capture the Island and Wasteland ;)
But yeah... Play DM or TDM till you can tell BLUFOR from OPFOR and got a good idea of where what is.

I agree... start small, so you get an idea of how to play in a team. Dyslexci has done some great YouTube tutorials, check them out (I believe they're also linked from the BI forums)

I think the best mode to play alone and with other people but no in a clan is Domination mode.

And you need guides:

Exactly the site I was thinking of... despite my spelling error :)

You could open up the editor and makes some basic missions or just slap some AI down to practice on.

If your completely new to the editor you can find all the information your ever need just by looking for guides on Google & youtube, its not as hard as you might think to play with the editor.

In short you could create your own training missions to home your skills on what ever aspect you feel you might need help with, start with the AI skill level low and then increase it once your feel your ready.

That's not an issue on your end. It's a well-known issue on the multiplayer-side of things. It's a combination of ('poor') engine/server-hardware/mission-design.
