WHY IS ARMA 3 POPULAR AMONG STREAMERS

What's popping, I'm back with another blog and today I'll be talking about why Arma 3 is popular among streamers.

I myself am not a streamer so I had to do a research to find out why it is so popular. Here's what I found out.

The gameplay is the main reason why the game is so popular. It it set in the mid 2030s which would make anyone interested as we all want to see how the world would be when it is 2030.

The game's main locations are the islands of Atlis and Stratis. The islands have a flag that resembles the flag of Jamaica a lot. At least that's what I think.

You have to play as an U.S. Army soldier Corporal Ben Kerry. It is a single player campaign and when playing the game, you have to face a lot from lone wolf infiltration missions to commanding of large scale armored operations.

You are able to choose different objectives and weaponry such as UAVs, artillery, and air support according to your play style. A new Eastern military alliance, known as the Canton-Protocol Strategic Alliance Treaty (CSAT), led by Iran and China, is growing in global influence, while the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is on the decline.

The main singleplayer campaign, The East Wind, is set on the Republic of Altis and Stratis, a Mediterranean island nation comprising the islands Altis based on Lemnos and Stratis based on Agios Efstratios.

In the year 2026 a civil erupts on Altis following a coup d'etat by the Atlis Armed Forces (AAF). There is a lot about the story of the game and it surely is interesting. It kind of reminds me of Far Cry 5 and the struggles we face as a member of the United States army.

This game was released way back in 2013 and that was the very same year Grand Theft Auto 5 came out so that may be why the game didn't get as much hype as others had gotten. I for one think this is an awesome game.

So back with the story on why this is an awesome game and streamers like to play it. In 2030, a ceasefire is declared. A loyalist rebel group, the Freedom and Independence Army (FIA), rejects the new military government and wages a guerilla campaign against the AAF.

NATO peacekeeping forces are deployed to Altis, establishing a US-led joint NATO-AAF peacekeeping force, Task Force Aegis (TF Aegis).

Five years later, NATO investment in the Aegean dwindles, and CSAT begins to subsidize the AAF and mobilizes its own forces in the Pacific. With the peacekeeping mandate nearing its end, NATO begins to withdraw from Altis, and tensions rise between AAF and NATO.

Damn so far it has been super interesting and totally reeks of awesomeness. The game has an amazing story line. The graphics is top notch and sound is also pretty solid. Altogether the game is awesome.

I don't seem why streamers would hesitate on streaming this game. I got this idea from a friend of mine who told to say why streamers like to play this game. My friend's name is JustHacker07 so a huge thanks goes out to him.

There have been so many DLC campaign that have been added over the years and some of them are the 'Apex Protocol' expansion package added in the ARMA 3: Apex Expansion.

It is set on the Northern Division of a South Pacific island group nation known as the Horizon Islands Federation. The division is commonly known as Tanoa, the largest island in the division. This campaign takes place after the events of the base game campaign, following the regroup with NATO ending.

There is another DLC campaign where we play as a different character. Remnants of War is a story-driven DLC campaign added in the Laws of War DLC. The story focuses on Nathan MacDade, an EOD technician working for he International Development and Aid Project (IDAP for short), a humanitarian NGO.

Other scenarios are explored as Nathan reminisces about past events. Some actions the player can take have moral consequences, which are reflected in the ending.

The main player character of the singleplayer campaign is Corporal Ben Kerry, a US Army soldier deployed on Stratis. You also can play as Sergeant Conway during the prologue.

Other major NATO characters include Staff Sergeant Adams, General Armstrong, as well as Combat Technology Research Group (a NATO spec ops group, CTRG for short) personnel Captain Scott Miller, and Miller's second in command Lieutenant James.

Major FIA characters include Kostas Stavrou, leader of northern FIA forces, and Nikos Panagopoulos, an FIA head. You play as CTRG Group 15 operators in Apex Protocol.

Bohemia Interactive officially announced the development of ARMA 3 on May 19, 2011.[12] In June 2012 an alpha version of the game was demonstrated at E3. In August 2013, Bohemia Interactive announced that they will release three downloadable content episodes for free after the game's initial launch.

An alpha version of the game was released on March 5, 2013, allowing players to experience the game during development, as well as assist in development by reporting bugs and giving feedback on their experience.

The beta version was released on June 25, 2013, and anyone who owned the alpha would have their copy automatically upgraded. The final version of ARMA 3 was launched on September 12, 2013. At its launch, ARMA 3 featured more showcase missions and the large island of Altis.

ARMA 3 has received generally favorable reviews, garnering a score of 74 out of 100 on the review aggregation website Metacritic based on 38 reviews. Some reviewers praise the modifications Bohemia Interactive have done with the engine, animations and sound.

However, others criticised the lack of single-player content on release, mainly a campaign.

PC Gamer selected the game to be the simulation game of the year. ARMA 3 also gained Czech game of 2013 Award for technological contribution to Czech video game output and was elected to be best Czech video game of the Year in Booom 2013.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun selected ARMA 3 to be 16th best FPS of all time and the 10th best Simulation Game of all time.

Altogether like I said earlier, the game is awesome and there is no reason why a streamer would not stream it.

Streamers want to bring the best content to their fans which includes all of you. They even want to make sure that they like the game so the level of excitement they have when playing the game is high.

That's it for today and I'll put another post out tomorrow. Enjoy your day/night. Cheers.

Would you play the game after seeing this?
