This game's lore is seriously underrated. Some of the things here sound like they could happen in our world too and that makes the plot even more interesting. Different shades of grey and every side working for their own interests.
Too bad all the freakin layers of confidentiality and bluring plus their own paranoia prevents them all from just co-existing casualy. It almost always ends up with strong language, broken bones and countless graves. Only pending question remains : !!! WHEN ? !!!
There is a small Easter egg hidden in the adapt campaign: in the first guerrilla camp, if you go exploring in the north, you will find a wrecked ship with a crate and a body. In the crate you will find black Mx rifles, ctrg camos and plate carriers… meanwhile on the body you can find a ION baseball cap. I pieced the info together and came up that the CTRG reinforcements must have reached the island the aid of ION contractors, but it is unknown if the guy is dead from the wreck of if he has been shot by ctrg to tie up loose ends
Thank you for this. Miller is so ‘right’ for the campaign - even his accent and delivery is just like a certain type of British special forces officer that I have met in real life.
I always liked BI’s story lines but often felt they were not always really well executed. They can be convoluted and confusing or a bit flakey. This is an excellent video that helps to make sense of it all. Thanks Viper! Unfortunately, my guess is BI will probably not invest in deep campaign storylines anymore when Arma4 eventually comes out, they’ll concentrate more on the platform itself, which to be honest, is the most important part of Arma. It’ll be a shame, as the mod community, as talented as they are, probably can’t replicate the quality, scale and depth of lore that BI could.
They're intentionally confusing. Your pov is Kerry. Some random guy. Even if he fought together with you, the secret black ops soldier isn't gonna just tell you what he's up to. BI's storytelling captures the confusion of modern war in a way no other studio even tries.
Having played the campaigns through more than once, it was really easy for me to despise Miller. But after watching this...jeez, you changed my mind, dude. Well done!
always saw miller and his teams as a "necessary evil" playing both sides to keep a rough sense of neutrality, neither NATO nor CSAT or even the guerrilla and independent island groups can come out on top as further destabilisation of more regions would worsen the conflict, they simply task themselves with balancing out what the other side has done
These are awesome, who is next? I really like how 'human' he is. He is not over the top, he is not larger than life, not gun-ho, he just seems like normal dude with a mission. A sneaky normal dude you prolly shouldn't trust
I wonder what CTRG would make out of that mysterious drone incident in Livonia. Some sort of CSAT GPS scrambler? Something's fishy and CSAT's involved, mark my words.
I never realized this man was involved this much. That is one hell of a greater good to need to sacrifice that many NATO troops during the invasion of Altis and then the citizens of Tanoa. I now see why he did those things, but I still don't know it I like him any better. It's a crying shame he wasn't involved in the Contact DLC
I meam what would be his purpouse in contact? Sure, LDF has problems with spetnaz infiltrarions, but there isnt any secret weapon program going on, so nothing CTRG to care about
I imagined kerry singing " somebody that I used to know " to his kids when they ask him in the middle of his story, " dad who is Miller ? " Edit: I wrote keery
I get the idea of the ‘bigger picture’. But if you think about it. Miller didn’t get the device on Altis anyway which means that thousands died on both sides of the conflict for no reason. Almost 3 squads were wiped out on stratis for nothing. Miller got Anatolia remnant forces killed on stratus for no reason. Kinda hate the guy.
@Viper1Zero Arma3 in any of your videos looks as beautiful as possible, I never cease to be amazed at this. Despite the fact that the release of the game was in 2013, it looks no worse than today's games, sometimes even better! This thanks to your cinematography and the maximum settings of the game, the quality of the upwnloaded video. As for Captain Miller, this is the most charismatic character in Arma3, thanks for every video from you!
Miller is one of my favorite charcters.A very complex character that walks the line between good and evil.I love how bohemia and modders include his character in chenarios and campaigns.And we see him from different angles ,we see other known characters evolve too and the whole altian war from different angles even civilian angle in Remnants of War. You see that Miller is forced to do stuff that are very difficult and unethical for others to do.But as you said he's the only one who sees the bigger picture and willing to make sacrifices for the greater good...I hope this story continues in ArmA 4 but i doubt it...
Funny thing about group 14 that never makes sense to me is Sgt. Hardy. James probably would be still alive if we ignore his SOS in the Win final mission. But later on at the final misson of apex protocol, James returns with full members of group 14 with Sgt. Hardy, when Hardy was supposedly gets killed in Signal lost. (Trivia: Go to James's position without taking Hardy's radio during Signal Lost. Trust me.) Did the Maxwell Falcon Team wasn't the whole member of Group 14 and they stashed another Hardy somewhere? This is the point where me and my Kerry gets suspicious, where the bloody hell this Radcliffe guy come from? I didn't see him in Maxwell.
I appreciate Apex as it was a good way of telling a story for a new region, and it also closed out the Eastwind campaign that felt a little too open-ended with Miller falling off the face of the Earth.
I can't wait for more lore videos! It's very interesting looking at the bigger picture of the story, I hope you will make more videos like these. Do you think you could make a “top [number]” video on client-side mods? That'd be quite nice.
You know further that Miller is Involved in deep shit when you see Lt. James in Beyond Hope. Like damn. They were playing both sides, and even NATO Command allows them to sacrifice TF Aegis
i originally liked miller and i like him even more also when kerry was asking stuff i was like "BRO SHUT UP stop asking so many fucking questions you had a chance to join a super secret black-ops group and you ruined it"
I love the characters that work on a bigger picture of a more over arching story, i just need to write mine close to what Miller is like without being too predictably sketchy and stereotypical.
Miller technically has the highest kill count in the ArmA franchise, and if his ending is picked, then he's responsible for the deaths of however many people perish in World War 3.
For fck sake, The whole thing is that bohemia story writing aren't exactly the Oscar-Award level but it did heavily based on logic, reason and perspective, not some Over the head kind of writing. 0. Year 2026, Coup d'etat forces takedown altian government, British NATO send in covert CTRG 14 to assist loyalist force to defeat the AAF but ends up to no avail in 2030, Ceasefire agreement constantly being unstable up until CSAT comes in and play a role, CSAT position getting favored, NATO stepped in trying to win favor meanwhile CTRG tasked with reconnaissance on CSAT movement. 1. Nato acquire Intel about CSAT secret weapon development project, CTRG ordered to track it down. 2. CSAT using Altis as a east wind project development ground while keeping AAF in dark.Future proof showcased in cultural property mission where a suicided AAF general leaving evidence and dying note noticing story of possible deceit in CSAT-CTRG shadow War by both side. 3.At the meantime of the CTRG-FIA operation before oreokastro strike, the constant victory of the guerilla bought high suspicion to the high command of the AAF thus further and deeper investigation operation is underway. 4.In mission [Firing From Vehicle], a safehouse like room (with AAF/FIA common use insignia marked on the wall) filled with secret Intel and seismic graph suggested AAF find out about what is basically a evidence of a possible shadow War, CTRG realized the situation, sending FIA to take control of the situation, AAF reinforcement arrived get beaten down, NATO comes in rescue hostage, AAF shelling the town to silent anything that could post a threat to the investigation operation [OR you can try thinking the opposite way]. 5. NATO movement limited to Stratis island, CTRG 14 arrived in camp Maxwell wearing NATO equipment, Colonel MacKinnon rushed to KAMINO firing range, Hit by random landmine that is previously used all over the Old AAF-FIA WAR in stratis Meanwhile CTRG 14 started a "terrorist attack" on AAF(possibly site with Intel about EAST WIND?) causing AAF to Green on Blue against TF AEGIS; Evidence was suggested in dying note left by a suicided AAF general in CULTURAL PROPERTY mission. 6. CTRG gather survivor and use them for the covert operation, CTRG step by step sabotage NATO invasion to create more time and after many operation, AAF begin tracking down CTRG movement, following trail of NIKOS the arm dealer, AAF manage to capture the arm dealer, sabotage the supply run and located camp Maxwell and hammering it with artillery fire. 7. CTRG, trying to escape the danger of overrun by CSAT-AAF forces, using FALSE story and rile up the survivor to divert attention, striking enemy facilities and Leaving the risk of CSAT to TF aegis to dealt with while CTRG Securing a Assault boat to link up with remaining "useful pawns" escape, At the end, AAF jet spotted the escaping CTRG-NATO force and dealt a heavy damage thus sinking the Boat and drowning most Crew on board. 8. Throughout the Adapt Campaign, CTRG 14 covertly sabotage everything that pose a threat to their operation, When NATO invasion can no longer be slowing by any means,Times are stretching really thin, Before NATO arrived in mainland, CTRG assigned to retreat and regroup for a suitable reentry, CTRG setup Kostavo to be neutralized by NATO thus keeping their Existent a remained secret while they're long gone from the island after the last debriefing. 9. At the end, East wind project Related personnel are neutralized during the clash between CSAT viper and CTRG 14, Leaving few CSAT personnel Alived escaping the ALTIS with the completed East wind device before Anyone could caught a glimpse of the Secret project, Leaving Group 14 leader Scott Miller no choice but to abandoned capture attempt and continuously following the trail of East wind project All the way to Tanoa where the East wind device was suspected creating Tsunami disaster on the island and that is where APEX protocol Comes in
Miller has some contacts with aliens too. If I remember correctly, there is a fun little easter egg in the Contact campaign. Edit: ruclips.net/video/O7Lj9ID5G-Y/видео.html

This game's lore is seriously underrated. Some of the things here sound like they could happen in our world too and that makes the plot even more interesting.
Different shades of grey and every side working for their own interests.
I hate that there are no vanilla multiplayer groups. I would love to play some vanilla multiplayer co op missions.
Too bad all the freakin layers of confidentiality and bluring plus their own paranoia prevents them all from just co-existing casualy. It almost always ends up with strong language, broken bones and countless graves. Only pending question remains : !!! WHEN ? !!!
@@ColonelRoseru Not entirely true, but if anything you would seriously love all the Aegis mods that enhance 2035 assets and expand on it
lol, like they _could_ happen? I think they basically predicted the afghan withdrawl shit show. even china has moved in there now. nutty
There is a small Easter egg hidden in the adapt campaign: in the first guerrilla camp, if you go exploring in the north, you will find a wrecked ship with a crate and a body.

Some damn good detective work
It’s crazy how miller seems to be behind everything that happens in the campaign. Also, great vid keep up the amazing content!
I'm in love with Arma 3's larger story
It’s seriously underrated.
I hope it continues in Arma 4
Thank you for this. Miller is so ‘right’ for the campaign - even his accent and delivery is just like a certain type of British special forces officer that I have met in real life.
The voice actor of Miller did an amazing job.

Miller is the epitome of the saying: "The ends justify the means"

Pretty stupid take
They literally work for NATO

@@danielmarett1083
... that they work for NATO...?
@@pancytryna9378 which is what im saying too... Just saying Id like to think they act as a necessary evil lol
@@danielmarett1083
They're literally the CIA of NATO lol
These are awesome, who is next?
I really like how 'human' he is. He is not over the top, he is not larger than life, not gun-ho, he just seems like normal dude with a mission. A sneaky normal dude you prolly shouldn't trust
I wonder what CTRG would make out of that mysterious drone incident in Livonia. Some sort of CSAT GPS scrambler?
Something's fishy and CSAT's involved, mark my words.

I meam what would be his purpouse in contact? Sure, LDF has problems with spetnaz infiltrarions, but there isnt any secret weapon program going on, so nothing CTRG to care about
I’m loving the lore videos, can’t wait for more
Great video, I love hearing about Arma lore, well done man!
Glad you enjoyed!
in the art gallery Miller is spying on the guests through the big skylight with a rangefinder
I imagined kerry singing " somebody that I used to know " to his kids when they ask him in the middle of his story, " dad who is Miller ? " Edit: I wrote keery
Thanks for another great video. Congratulations on 25,000 too. I'm glad to be a part of this.
Miller is one of the few individuals known to outglow the CIA
“CIA?
Never heard of her”
- Miller, probably
Fun fact in Bomos during chapter 2 of the campaign you can find a CTRG stash and bunch of dead guerrillas by the beach
I get the idea of the ‘bigger picture’. But if you think about it. Miller didn’t get the device on Altis anyway which means that thousands died on both sides of the conflict for no reason. Almost 3 squads were wiped out on stratis for nothing. Miller got Anatolia remnant forces killed on stratus for no reason. Kinda hate the guy.
See Miller in thumbnail; immediate like
Amazing lore video as always! I hope you're series will make more people love Arma 3 lore!
Great video! I really want more types of these videos. Keep up the good work!

so glad i waited to finish replaying the campaigns to watch, once again an excellent vid
Miller is the type that will sacrifice anything, or anyone for the greater good.
Miller actually shows up in some off-limits areas in Contact. You're never going to find this out during regular gameplay.
Absolutely love this. Outstanding job putting this all together! Keep up the phenomenal work Viper!
Hey Viper! Hope everything is well my brother! Been looking forward to this!
Thanks brother! We’ve been doing well, settling in with the new little one.
Hope you enjoy the video!
12:11 Bro got folded by a malaria strain
fantastic video!!!!
please do a video on csat origins it would be really good
Miller rule #1 never expose your intentions.
Sigma Rule Number 847: Start wars that lead to thousands of deaths just to accomplish your mission.
the arma campaigns are so underated
Miller is one of my favorite charcters.A very complex character that walks the line between good and evil.I love how bohemia and modders include his character in chenarios and campaigns.And we see him from different angles ,we see other known characters evolve too and the whole altian war from different angles even civilian angle in Remnants of War.

But later on at the final misson of apex protocol, James returns with full members of group 14 with Sgt. Hardy, when Hardy was supposedly gets killed in Signal lost.

What happens if you go to James without Hardy's radio?
the ending when you go to the checkpoint to help James is not canon
I am honored to be part of the chads
I appreciate Apex as it was a good way of telling a story for a new region, and it also closed out the Eastwind campaign that felt a little too open-ended with Miller falling off the face of the Earth.
I can't wait for more lore videos! It's very interesting looking at the bigger picture of the story, I hope you will make more videos like these.
Do you think you could make a “top [number]” video on client-side mods? That'd be quite nice.
Captain Miller is like the Captain Price of Arma
Just woke up, and this is the first video I'll be watching today.
Scott Miller : Chaotic Good.
I didn't even know Miller was responsible for oreokastro. I thought that was just the cruelty played by AAF
Why does Viper sound like he's whispering like he's past his bedtime time?
Had a baby sleeping nearby lol.
You know further that Miller is Involved in deep shit when you see Lt. James in Beyond Hope. Like damn. They were playing both sides, and even NATO Command allows them to sacrifice TF Aegis
Which east wind ending is canon? Getting the truck to Miller or meeting up with nato and driving around a journalist ?
Originally disliked miller, now I like him more.
i originally liked miller and i like him even more
also when kerry was asking stuff i was like "BRO SHUT UP stop asking so many fucking questions you had a chance to join a super secret black-ops group and you ruined it"
I really liked the part of the video where you called me a chad. That was factual so I know the rest of what you say is factual as well
I love the characters that work on a bigger picture of a more over arching story, i just need to write mine close to what Miller is like without being too predictably sketchy and stereotypical.
Fabulous vid. As I always say You cant hate Miller and neither can you love him! Cpt. Miller is the a**-hole who saved the world!!
He appears even in an easter egg from Contact lol
I only realized now after watching the video that the fucks up in East Wind Campaign was Miller's fault all along.
Poggers a new vid
it's very "Metal Gear"-esque isn't it? Though, that series takes a lot of inspiration from real world events too.
You missed their involvement in Tac-Ops...
love the lore
So basically he’s arma 3’s Captain Price
Miller technically has the highest kill count in the ArmA franchise, and if his ending is picked, then he's responsible for the deaths of however many people perish in World War 3.
как для вертолёта поставить рем комплект ? машину рем поставил но она не рем ...
Why didn't you mention the last mission in the main camping because it looks like miller is in position of the east wind dives?
It’s not the canon ending.
The Virgin Kerry VS The Chad Miller
U forgot his appearance in contact
wow, because i only play east wind, from start I thought he was an enemy
Couldnt finish the campaign since theres always a game breaking bug impending me the completation
Its been a long week…… what? A Viper vid? OMG!

cool vid
gooooooood
Bro what you think..
in campaign last mission, should we go to Miller or we should focus on main mission?
Main. Always think of the greater good.
Bro. I am the same age as Miller. WTF
The only character to sctually have hair😃
If anyone asks who did it... *Miller did.*
I think that he is stealing CSAT Superweapons for brittan
good v
Miller has some contacts with aliens too. If I remember correctly, there is a fun little easter egg in the Contact campaign.
