7:15 So it's dependent on how the Zeus (Dungeon Master) organizes the scenarios. There's also the player versus player engagements where it's two or more ArmA 3 clans fighting over multiple objective areas with the Zeus' making sure both teams know the ways to win. Rimmy has a few videos on both kinds of playstyles and he even has video essays on how to properly organize scenarios for players to enjoy and obey at times.
And for a little more added clarity on what equipment is given out and what vehicles are provided it all comes down to what the the scenario or mission (the general story/lore of the battle happening) Let's take this video as an example. Look at any RubixRaptor video intro and he will always give a little intro on what the story/mission has in store for the viewer. So they are resistance soldiers from terminator universe that means they are going to be limited to what resistance groups got in the terminator franchise (Us Army leftovers and cybertech stuff). Classes and loadouts are usually already premade before anyone hops into a game and you are usually locked to the gear that class should get, so a rifleman will look and feel like a rifleman and not have access to AT or a machine gun there will be classes specifically designed for that. Vehicles are usually also waiting in a pool and are also premade with the map but can be added in if the Zeus agrees. Now you asked about 40K baneblades and knights usually as above a mission will have to warrant the use of these so a knight family was assigned to the unit for the scenario and someone will have the class knight pilot and can then go around in the knight. But what it all comes down to is the communities you play with some will be HARDCORE Millsimers and others like Rubix group will be more relaxed with their group and rules. On a little bit of a last note I believe that from the videos and general word of mouth the way most groups fill classes and roles for their missions is via signup for these positions usually in a first come first serve manner which is usually the fairest way to go. Some groups will have positions locked for instance pilots for air vehicles will usually have to prove that they can actually fly planes and helicopters and receive a tag (in discord or something) as Rimmy downunder has jokingly and seriously said that some pilots should have their pilots tag revoked. This is all based on what I have come to understand from watching Arma videos and livestreams but I believe for the most part I am correct hope this helps
To answer your question about available assets, it depends on how the Zeus(es) want to set up the mission the players will run through. For example, in the unit I Zeus for, we'll come up with a standard pool of weapons, vehicles, ammo types, etc. that players can choose from based on the setting (Halo, 40k, Star Wars, and so on). That pool of available assets might change slightly based on what role someone takes in a given mission as well: for example, typically our engineering group are the only ones with access to heavy duty explosives and artillery. We usually don't do PvP stuff so I can't speak to that, but the AI units we put down always have a default loadout they start with that can be fully customized as well. So if a specific unit we want to use starts with a gun that can somehow be perfectly accurate to absurd ranges (theres at least one version of an SRS rifle that does this), we can swap that out for something a bit more balanced in our eyes. Or, y'know, you could just decide to scare the crap out of the players, remote control a Halo elite with a fuel rod cannon, and start firing wildly at everyone close by. That was a thing I did once, it was stupid fun, and I'll never apologize. :P
@@ChicagoReactsI don't know if you read the answers about computer specs. You need high power CPU then GPU, an SSD that's a 1 or 2 TB in size minimum. This game really needs a 2tb 4tb size and 32 gb ram. I recommend i7 and a 3070, 4070, 2070. Those specs are all.
I'm 18...When I first saw terminator 2 I was 10 and it was the first one I saw of the franchise. The only thing I could think about was how awesome it would've been to see it when it first came out
You know I still can't get over the fact that kit was a marine. He seems so laid back. Even my best friend got a little more not on edge but high octane to say the least.
14:24 To answer this... oh, ARMA is heavy CPU depended, so you need a good CPU to start with, in all honesty it's all about budget you willing to spend on decent PC, GPU is not that big of priority but good one (aka 30xx series +) will do, 16gb of RAM or more, ssd to put ARMA on it, but you whatever your PC will be, you will still sometimes will get lags, freezes, and fps drops in heavy battles because of poorly optimization (that a developer fault), in mini-scenarios you will be prob good, i have... well not a beast of machine but i7-13700k, GPU-4090, 32gb of RAM, 2tb ssd, and sometimes even my pc chokes on something in ARMA, BUT! I can say Arma 3 was greatly improved from what abomination of optimization it was on release date, so yeah, you can easily RUN this game on low/mid config PC, but if you have money... just buy yourself a good gaming PC with good CPU,GPU and good amount of RAM in it and you will be good to go to die, rise and repeat every battle in Arma 3 mods, it has HUGE amount of mods, your beloved Warhammer 40k universe, Terminator, Halo, Star Wars, bunch of Zombie and Horror related mods, Cold War, even fantasy and medieval style, WW2, alternative universes, you name it and you will prob find it in Arma workshop. Good luck, and much love!
You could have a "supercomputer" and arma 3 would still run like shit on complex missions with lots of assets, modules, players and ai. It's an old game now and it does not use hyperthreading (more than one cpu core for main tasks). Usually total cpu and gpu usages are very low. So a good cpu with the the best possible single core performance you can afford would be preferable imo. Just note one of the main settings that affects fps is view distance, which tends to be kinda limited by default on servers unless changed. Arma 3 is not a great metric to follow when building a pc but rather other stuff you would play or do on it.
You don't always need a massive group with an overlord who decides everything everyone. My buddies and I just finished a multi week 40k KP Liberation mission against just AI, and we got to be whatever we wanted to be. We're currently doing the same thing for Star Wars, then next we'll be the UNSC from HALO, before finally coming back to modern stuff. Arma can be whatever you want it to be.
Is it possible to reverse the screens? So the video is larger and reactor is smaller? As much as I love to watch their reactions, it’s difficult to see what they’re reacting to.

That's awesome! And thanks for explaining from the perspective of a 'Zeus'
@Chicago Reacts Absolutely! Not a problem at all. Hope it helps! :3

Waiting for reactions to RubixRaptors Halo videos
Same

Yes! More RubixRaptor arma3 vids
10:54 I always thought they just went to a different body after dying, like some sort of "I've always got backups" situation.

I have that freeze frame at 16:18 saved and it's great
Yaaaay, more rubixraptor reacts, as always great stuff on your channel, much love!
I’m gonna go with red screen, received damage critical. CPU shutting down.
Kit, it's been more than 2 weeks since you reacted to a video by Brother Apothecary Chris Raynor. You're gonna react to part 2 soon, right?

Hell yeah! Definitely keep up the Raptor vids, super underrated
9:02 So there are times where the building just take 10 or more satchel charges and not go down but with a dirt bike you can kill it
Can't wait for the walffel house
