Arma 3 gameplay 9-6

Doing some base building on the Altis map, I make use of the massive battles you can have in this game. In this gameplay video I am still playing it on my old video cards so the framerate is not the best. But I still had alot of fun playing this and will be posting more Arma 3 videos soon. Since this game is not very well optimized the better hardware you have can really make a difference in this game.

I have recently figured out how to change the time of day in the game. And I am really impressed by the tracers and the effects at night. In this gameplay I set the time just before dark and tried out my bases I made against some enemy soldiers.

Locating a comfy spot for setting up a base I search around the map and settle on what I think I will like. I can move my construction later if I want.

The walls take a longest, but once I have enough of them I can just start multiplying them.

Going for a ground level view gives you a better idea of what everything looks like. When its only overhead sometimes you miss details.

I place some enemy armor as we will have the base for defense, they need extra firepower to gain the upper hand.

Adding troops as well, its a fine balance to make for a good battle. And too many causes the game to start shuttering until I quit and relaunch it.

After I spawn in the troops I set their waypoints to search and destroy our base.

Adding my own troops that will defend the base, and I think we are ready for a battle.

Starting the simulation I get up on an h-barrier and take shots at the incoming enemy troops.

Though I realize a piece of the map has conflicted with my h-barrier setup. Unfortunately I cannot jump so that area cannot be passed.

I move the base after realizing some of the static objects are in the way.

This time I give the enemy troops some air support, though they just seem to circle and not actually engage.. Maybe they only go after vehicles or aircraft.

I add a military HQ as well in the case the troops find their way in the base, if I still am alive I can go hide in the base.

With that building and the h-barriers it would provide my troops with enough cover to put up a good fight. Just wish I could figure out the shuttering issue when I add too many assets to the map. Even with my newest video card I find it does it so maybe I need to tweak the game somehow.
