| == Launcher ==
| |
| ''See [[Arma 3 Launcher]]''
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| == Starting with the game ==
| |
| You bought the game, downloaded it, installed it, configured it ''via'' the launcher, started it: now what?<br>
| |
| If you are not familiar with the Arma series, a usual recommendation is to access the main menu and select Tutorial, you can find choices such as:
| |
| * Read the '''[https://arma3.com/assets/pdf/arma3_manual.pdf Game Manual]'''
| |
| * Read / configure your keys in the '''Game Options'''
| |
| * Read the in-game '''[[:Category:Arma 3: Field Manual|Field Manual]]''' (from Tutorial → Field Manual)
| |
| * Watch '''Community Guide''' videos ([https://store.steampowered.com/app/544940/2/14/ Steam] / [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfUcrRpCM_fLrk4KKLkQKrlTBh7txPaO3 YouTube])
| |
| * Read [https://ttp3.dslyecxi.com/ dslyecxi's Arma 3 Tactical Guide]
| |
|

|
| |
| == Playing in Single Player ==
| |
|
| |
| === In-game training ===
| |
| * Play the '''VR Training''' missions to understand the principles
| |
| * Play the '''Showcases''' to apply these principles in real action
| |
| * Play the '''[https://arma3.com/bootcamp Bootcamp] campaign'''
| |
| * Practice weapons and vehicles in the '''[[Arma 3 Arsenal|Virtual Arsenal]]'''
| |
|
| |
| === Fighting ===
| |
| * Play the Single Player campaign "The East Wind" to learn to work in a team
| |

| |
| ** [[Arma 3 Tac-Ops Mission Pack]]
| |
| ** [[Arma 3 Laws of War]]'s campaign
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| == Playing in Multiplayer ==
| |
| Playing in Multiplayer is way different from Single Player.
| |
| An AI can be predicted, its skill altered, its behaviour planned, whereas an experimented human being makes you wary of each and every of its moves.
| |
| * If you own [[Arma 3 Apex]], play its Multiplayer campaign "Apex Protocol" with experienced friends
| |
| * Hours of game bring experience no training can bring (situational awareness, reflexes)
| |
| * Find the kind of game you want (see available [[Multiplayer Game Types|Multiplayer game types]])
| |
| * If possible, try to play on various servers with friends or an [https://units.arma3.com/ Arma 3 Unit] to enhance your game experience
