Yeah the maps are pretty amazing. using satmaps from real world places and giving it a lived in feel from actual on the ground pictures is next level design.
took me a while to actually notice this, first time I played I assumed we were there for at least a few days, so many missions for 1 day, thought 1st day was only drawdown, situation normal and blackfoot down@@Viper1Zero
Arma's campaigns are extremely underrated and pretty much nobody talks about them. Hell, you can't even find a complete walkthrough of Arma 2's Harvest Red on youtube. At least Arma 3 got more people interested. Great video by the way. Can't wait for more.
Really appreciate you taking the time to explain the lore of ARMA III. As someone who doesn’t own all the DLCs, I think it would be really cool if you continued through the base game and into the DLC lore as well.
I'd like to share my thoughts on Stratis, not about the story it has, but on how it's made. While I am not from A. Eustratios, which is the real life island Stratis was based on, I am from a different Greek island and I generally know how Greek islands are. I think Bohemia did an amazing job of not only designing the terrain, but the infrastructure as well. The terrain itself is amazing, but thats only part of it. How the island was built upon by humans, is tricky to replicate 1:1. For example, I'd have been surprised if the island had paved roads, apart from the cities. And that comment Viper1 made about the gas station, is actually very realistic. It's not uncommon for there to be a single gas station in an entire area. It's the only game I have played thus far that actually makes me feel like I am on an authentic Greek island. Also, the AAF, maybe apart from the default camo, is exactly what I would expect for the army of an island like Altis and Stratis (Limnos and A. Eustratios irl) to look like. Overall, everything is very well designed, bohemia really went above and beyond with it!
Awesome feedback! I know BI would love to know they nailed the look and feel of the islands! I’ve always been fascinated with Greece and the Aegean. I kick myself to this day for not going there when I was stationed in Europe.
Hey Viper - thanks for the vid. I like this idea. I found when playing through the campaigns it wasn’t always clear what the hell was going on and this really helps!
Fantastic. I’m gonna play the relevant SP parts of the game with an understanding of why things happen as they do, I expect this will improve immersion quite a bit :D.
Loved this video mate. Well done. Any chance you could make a video showing a fully operational Stratis airbase? Filmed in a cinematic way showing how the base should look like when fully populated with assets and troops and vehicles in the proper places with vehicles leaving and entering the base and the small firing range in use (back of the base) with maybe a pistol range? Would be nice to see it fully operational Maybe also smaller vids in a cinematic way showcasing the driving course or the vehicle gun range behind the driving course? Or a video showcasing the firing range being used as it would in real life with all the props/ maybe the watch tower beside the firing points could be built to show the officer in charge of the range working the targets for the shooters?
Got a lot of your videos to catch up on, thanks for the great content! I know one thing I heavily researched when I finished the campaign of Arma3 was details about the East Wind device, came to quickly learn that storytelling isn't a BI strength lol
all of the arma 3 campaigns are great, super immersive, great plot. they all make you feel like you are in the shoes of the character, in such a short time. i really hope that arma 4 continues the story.
I must say, I was literally thinking into searching some "Arma 3 Lore"/"Arma 3 Myths" on RUclips a couple of days ago, but didn't do it because I've already done it in the past and nothing notable showed up. Today I was literally watching some video about a Hind getting shot down in Ukraine back in 2014 (YELLOW 15, RIP) and this video got randomly recommended. Finally someone doing this, looking very forward for this series! :D
Miller sus. Great video though. Despite playing the main campaign several times, I never actually paird any attention to the actual lore behind it so I'm excited to (hopefully) learn more about it from your videos. Then I can replay it and appreciate it in a new light
This is amazing! Top quality content! Very interesting! Plz, continue this "lore" project :) P.S. I have never considered Stratis from this point of view and only now do I see how much heart the creators put into it!
Je comprends pas tout mais je kiff quand même ton contenu gg ^^ c'est vraiment dommage que tu sois le seul RUclipsr qui crée du contenu sérieux sur ArmaIII
the video was well constructed and I agree that arma 3 lacks lore videos, but I think you should do research and dive into the history as well, outside of the East Wind campaign. it doesn't have to be a detailed explanation, moreso just covering things like the earthquake that struck agia marina. just things to make the lore non singleplayer centric
hi, when will the "top realism mods"? I know 2 mods, the first mod is "TaxerMilsim" there are uniforms, vests, helmets, backpacks. And the second mod is MW 2 mod, I want to see your review of these mods!
A fictional Greek island republic. It would make sense that not only Greece has sold out to the EU. But also don’t represent its Greek traditions and values and so Altus decides to side with the CSTO or Chinese NATO. To allow China to build their Eurasian union. And also play for the “winning side”
If you're planning on making this "lore" series something regular, then that's something I'd very much look forward to.
See you in the next video then ;)
@@Viper1Zero when is the next video of you don’t mind me asking
Gotta agree!

2035 is so overlooked in my opinion. I'm glad you're making these series - can't wait until Tanoa and Livonia!
I think it’s the coolest thing ever that Arma creates maps that are real world locations it makes me want to visit these islands
Yeah the maps are pretty amazing. using satmaps from real world places and giving it a lived in feel from actual on the ground pictures is next level design.
google earth transition was smooth af
I will be paying very close attention to this hopeful series
5:23 "Until it was discovered and destroyed" so, one day, that's the whole canon length of the events in survive
LMAO facts
took me a while to actually notice this, first time I played I assumed we were there for at least a few days, so many missions for 1 day, thought 1st day was only drawdown, situation normal and blackfoot down@@Viper1Zero
Great vid. Loving it.
Arma 3 memories feel different, now that I know history of that place

Great video by the way. Can't wait for more.
The only thing that I think could be better, is when you mention a location, to also show it on a map.
Good feedback!
Finally i found someone who's talking about this things! Nice video
Great job, would love to see more of this. Altis would be really nice to learn about, but I’d love to learn about Tanoa :D

Fun series! More please. Also you should mention the hints from the loading screens as they provide some lore too.
The Airbase lore is exactly what can be seen in a loading hint.
Hey Viper - thanks for the vid. I like this idea. I found when playing through the campaigns it wasn’t always clear what the hell was going on and this really helps!
I would like to see more of this, its a good idea to have more informations about the maps, as well as history about them. Good job!!!
Fantastic. I’m gonna play the relevant SP parts of the game with an understanding of why things happen as they do, I expect this will improve immersion quite a bit :D.
Been waiting for a series like this ! great video
Great stuff! It's kinda nostalgic at this point.
I'm really looking forward to more lore!
Finally an arma 3 lore video! absolutely loved it and I hope this wont be the last lore video for arma 3 :)
Yesss! Thank you and keep it up! Love Arma lore and would watch your videos on it over and over again!
Thanks Viper, every time I leave A3 you get me exited about it again. Cheers mate! 👍
That transition tho👌🏿. Keep these lore contents coming man!
Viper1Zero, Your Channel's the best when it comes to News, content and showcase about ARMA3
Absolutely keep this series going! Amazing job

Thanks brother! Looking forward to your new release as well!
This is epic quality Arma lore is always needed
And then I found out stratis and altis are real islands
I love stratis! Its such an underrated map! I'll be watching this series with interest
This is such a good idea! Definitely keep doing these
Keep up the good work man. Good to hear the storyline
Well that was damn quick
If/ When you move onto larger islands, showing a map with highlighted areas would be nice when referencing specific regions.
Good feedback! Someone also mentioned this, so I’ll be implementing a visual for the next map :)
Great stuff, keep em coming! 😎
Thanks a lot of this Lore vid... I hope you make many more Lore vids and story vids of the Arma 3 story
Awesome vid came up on my suggested page and i cant wait for another episode now
I think you're just the right man for this job. I'd love to see more
Got a lot of your videos to catch up on, thanks for the great content! I know one thing I heavily researched when I finished the campaign of Arma3 was details about the East Wind device, came to quickly learn that storytelling isn't a BI strength lol
Very good, i enjoyed a lot the video!
all of the arma 3 campaigns are great, super immersive, great plot. they all make you feel like you are in the shoes of the character, in such a short time. i really hope that arma 4 continues the story.
Ikr especially since the endings for the campaign are both open-ended. Wud be kinda cool.
remnants of war is really cool since how the story goes is determined by your actions
CONGRATS ON the 100th video
Looking forward to future episodes of this series😎
Arma 3 Lore Series? Hell yes!!
Viper, your vids are always top-tier. Keep up the good work man, looking forward to the next vid!
Lol some of the animations looked a bit goofy but I really enjoyed this video. The ATC tower guys furiously typing was pretty funny.
Awesome! Please continue this series!!
Very cool video idea keep it up mate
Good idea for a series: there's an awful lot of Arma 3 background - lore - out there to do. Well-made video too.
Thanks for video, ArmA 3 Lore - Altis is next?
You know!

I just subscribed, your videos are great. Looking forward to seeing the lore of the other maps.
Damn! I don't care how you think of me. I am licenced to fly in the clouds now. Great video!
This is amazing! Top quality content! Very interesting! Plz, continue this "lore" project :)
P.S. I have never considered Stratis from this point of view and only now do I see how much heart the creators put into it!
Finally...Arma 3 lore videos
Keep up that lore thing
I‘m looking up for it
Looking forward to seeing more Lore
Je comprends pas tout mais je kiff quand même ton contenu gg ^^ c'est vraiment dommage que tu sois le seul RUclipsr qui crée du contenu sérieux sur ArmaIII
Excellent Vídeo men 💪🏻
Love the video keep up the series
I suggest you do CSAT Lore next that would be sick
Hell fucking yeah. Keep it up the lore!
PLEASE DO MORE OF THIS!

This is awesome!
Love the series.
I never understood why AAf attacked nato when they could of let them leave. Looking forward to a vid on this
Awesome video! Do you think you could make some videos of the different factions as well?
Thank you! Those are in work right now :)
@@Viper1Zero Awesome! I will be looking forward to those

i feel like arma 3 is falling into obscurity nowadays since the devs have basically stopped caring about the game. what a shame. A4 better come fast.
bad video, "you didnt have to cut me ohhh" song isnt playing
