Bought the game just for the SP. For me it's the series main selling point.

anyone knows how to put the command line for the executable ? i want to bypass the arma 3 splash screen.

edit:nevermind, i managed to google it. Anyone wanting to do the same, just right click arma 3 in steam client library, choose properties and select the "select launch option" , enter -nosplash

No.

Getting the hang of MP. those radio chats and all lolz.. Bug a bit buggy, sometimes FPS drops.. using GTX680 already.. i think its either CPU intensive or still very much unoptimize

Try lowering your draw distance to a comfortable setting.

Look for your Arma 3 Alpha folder in My Documents. Inside you will see a file called <yourplayername>.Arma3AlphaProfile

Go all the way down and find these two settings:
viewDistance=1600; //represented in meters - distance at which the world is drawn.
preferredObjectViewDistance=1600; //represented in meters - distance at which world objects are drawn

Remember to save your settings once modified.

Oh and to read the file properly you'll need to use notepad++ / wordpad.

For me it's a resounding yes. Always like the single player campaign since Operation Flashpoint. Although the AI always been the achilles' heel, but the story kinda interesting if not cliche' (it's understandable), and the mission design is brilliant. Unlike many other popular shooter, you can tell they spent lot of effort into the SP, kinda wasted to just ignore it. To each his own, it's their money at the end of the day.

Beside i'm not really into MP. Arma is one of those game that is suitable for both SP and MP player, both component are quality as far as i can tell.

"Engine Versatility"

The main selling points of the Arma series are the mission editor, mod tools and PC platform exclusivity. Without them the series simply would not survive till today. Everyone who plays arma is capable of giving back to the community be it modding or mission making. They are given the tools to do so. It's a little more complicated than SP over MP vice-versa but I hoped that widened your scope.

Bit of formality see. But from a pure fan perspective, the SP is always the main reason why i bought the game. I'm not talking about anybody else, just stated my reason. Simple as that, no double entendre.

So this means you won't even try a co-op mission with anyone here? I'm looking for veterans of the series.

I'm still a noob. But my main reason is my rig always struggle to get decent performance in multiplayer since Armed Assault, maybe because the world is much more open and bigger by default. Maybe i'll change my mind once i get a better machine. I just love the pacing for the single player campaign (easy for me and my rig), and hopefully the AI is much more robust this time.

Oh, and sorry to sounded bit d***-ish in my last posts. It certainly wasn't my intention.

lol i only play on aussies server for some reason, maybe because they play around 2-6pm since i'm quite busy at night time.

Too bad the dedicated server can't be setup on window 7/8. only on window server 2008
