Arma 3 Tactical Guide: Dslyecxi’s Arma3 Tactics, Techniques, & Procedures Guide

This guide has finally made it to print. After years of playing the Arma series, I've been following the author's tips and consuming his online content for quite some time. Large parts of this guide have always been available on Andrew's website and I've always been confused as to why it was not available in print. The Arma series has ruined almost every shooter for me by allowing me to play as various types of infantry, fly helicopters, drive tanks, drop JDAMs on tanks, fire artillery shells on enemy positions several miles away, keep my map & compass navigation skills sharp, and have an overall great time in a staggeringly large environment. Andrew "Dslyecxi" Gluck, has been a tremendous contributor to the community of this amazing game series and this book is the culmination of his expertise. This book is more than just a guide for Arma 3, you can use this information to improve your skills in any type of military shooter. Much of tactics and skills shown in this book can also be found in field manuals for the real world's armed forces, this verifiable once you see the bibliography. The most important aspect of staying alive in Arma 3 is by far situational awareness. This concept is underscored throughout this guide and explained in vivid detail. Pros: - Well organized - Well illustrated - Valuable information to help you stay alive - Tips that will help enhance your experience and the experience of others - It's great to finally have this in print Cons: - Amazon only appears to have the black & white version available, although a color version exists - Not enough info about control schemes or useful input device options (headtracking, rudder pedals, etc.) - No info about modding Overall, this is an excellent reference for anyone who plays or is interested in playing the Arma series. ShackTac has a lot of experience in making this series fun to play while conducting large scale operations that require a lot of preparation and planning. As of the writing of this review, the color version is not available on Amazon but it exists. This is a tactical guide that will help keep you alive in Arma, but it does not include any info about alternative input options that will only enhance your experience (TrackIR) and doesn't really mention Arma's massive modding community... but after all, this is a TACTICAL guide.

I would recommend for any ARMA fan. A large part of the book focuses on multiplayer structure, communication, and best practices that applies from anything from a two man buddy team all the way to 100+ man events. I don't have any real criticisms but if I did I would have preferred a little more content aimed at refining basic gameplay for the individual or more heavily covered tactics on the two or three man buddy teams that frequent co op and multiplayer. I understand that dyslexci and shack tac are a massive group and this book is written from their experiences but I don't think a group that size is for everyone and believe the "pair of friends" logging on and playing is a more probable scinario. That's not to say that the writings in this book can't be applied to that small team at all because it surely can, but I believe the "meat" of this book would fit a medium to larger group of players very well. I'm glad I made the purchase and hope dyslexci continues to put out not only excellent content in writing, but his mods, community contributions, and passion for everything ARMA.

Most tactically and strategically written wargame manuals around. Focused mostly on multiplayer and co-op rather than single player, but great nonetheless. Vehicles, choppers, jets, down to the 2035 issue futuristic assault rifle, is described in detail. Could have written more about the singleplayer aspect, but overall a well polished product. Definally worth your money

Amazingly written with so many details that makes ArmA III close to reality. I just wished it was colored in order to see all the details.

This is a black and white version of his online guide, and here's the thing, though arma is the only show in town right now for the military sim genre it does, there's nothing in this guide that could not be held applicable for any combined arms military simulation. A chunk of it could even be relevant if you're running a gaming community for any other type of game.

I was looking forward to this product arrived and opened it I found that the first six pages of the book were missing so I had to return the item

awesome book chock full of great tactical advice and how to play the game tips. well worth the price.

I've only had a quick skim through and havent read it in detail yet, but my first impression was 'this needs colour photos'.

Il compagno perfetto per giocare ad arma 3! Facile da leggere e da capire contiene un mare di suggerimenti utili!

I have played ARMA2 (and Operation Flashpoint years before) but have only just started playing ARMA3 after receiving it for Christmas. The depth and realism of this game is huge, and although I got the 'Limited Edition Deluxe' version, the documentation is almost all electronic, hence a guide of this type is indispensable. The delivery was super quick (super saver) and the quality of the printing is fantastic. The previous reviewer said that the printing being black and white was an issue, this may be a slight issue but frankly with 348 roughly A4 sized pages a full colour book would be much more expensive. If you like ARMA3 and need advice or guidance this is perfect and worth the money. Recommended!

Hab ich meinem Freund zum Geburtstag geschenkt! :D Er hat sich sehr gefreut und gesagt das es echt gut ist (inhaltlich). Hilfreich scheint es also zu sein! *gg*

Es un guia muy completa y bastante atractiva para hacerte una idea de lo que te espera en el mundo de Arma III, el unico pero que le pondria es que la guia esta en blanco y negro y en ingles, por lo demas es una buena forma de entrar en el mundo de este fantastico juego.
