COMBAT PATROL THROUGH THE VIETNAM JUNGLE - ARMA 3 S.O.G. Prairie Fire Campaign Gameplay 

Hi nikolai i have a question are you russian?

@@adel2504 no

Ok you're like the 5th person to say the same thing. Enough.

Eh. Unless you're in a big crew usually these missions get played with 2-5 people, and having such a small team usually ends badly and you end up never getting past the 2 - 3rd mission. This guy had the benefit of playing with the entire dev team. It doesn't always play out like you see in these videos.

Dick Thompson and The Frenchman too. Hits different when you realize the majority of them got off that chopper and never came back.

You realize he was playing with the veterans that actually fought there, right?

@@CoolCooler1 rising storm two is also a good veitnam game

@@will.s657 its more like cod though still a great game

I guess it will work but I would recommend it for more people.

Two players is fine but you will probably pick up more as you go along.

​@@hotheadgaming4797two players is not "fine" unless you plan on never completing a mission 😂. You need AT LEAST a 5-6 man team to have any realistic chance of beating the campaign. You may get past the first or second mission and that's it

You're a small recon team on 'somewhere on the Ho Chi Min Trail'. The trail is maintained by thousands of North Vietnamese engineers, defended by hundreds of flak gunners and there are tens of thousands of NVA infantrymen infiltrating towards South Vietnam who can be 'tasked' to hunt you down as well. Later in the war, special NVA commando units got create to actually hunt recon teams. So you had to be careful and watch out for trackers, dog teams etc. BTW: the term 'Prairie Fire' is a code word used when you're in imminent danger of being overrun. Per John Plaster, if you're in a really tight spot, you call the airstrikes ON your position. Interestingly enough, regular bombs are too dangerous (concussion wise) to use close up. The most effective weapon was napalm and cluster bombs (assuming you're in a reasonably open area, otherwise they detonate in the treetops)

This game is nothing like battlefield

Definitely feels better than enlisted

@OP sounds like a skill issue. No, this isn't battlefield. Maybe that's what you should stick with

You do realize that he's playing with the veterans that WROTE that book.. right?

Well what did you expect? It's a map that's larger than Altis (A3's biggest vanilla map) and it's HEAVILY VEGETATED on top of that.

Dude stop simping

Really? Every time I play it's just people flying in the air not supporting the ground troops. There will be 50 people in a server and yet only 12 guys are actually on the ground taking objectives.

Yea it's called not running a potatoe

Main campaign

It's like "Cool... more ARMA 3, WHAT'S THAT TRACK IT'S FIRE!"

official soundtrack of this DLC you can buy it from steam

combat escape

Well its not really patrolling anymore when there are hundreds of people after you

Um no. I'm fine with a video game being a video game. It doesn't have to be ultra realistic

This dlc and map SPECIFICALLY is very demanding even for 1080/2080 rigs. So whatever that 500 card you're using will probably not get the job done. The map is bigger than Altis and it is HEAVILY vegetated. You need a good PC to run it. With your rig you'd probably get 10 fps at best on the lowest graphics settings

Probably not. Get a group to play with

No. you will have a terrible time. Why would you play ANYTHING with randos? So they can go be a lone wolf and not have a headset plugged in?

You're missing the fact that he's playing in multiplayer with actual humans. He says so right in the video. All you gotta do is pay attention.

I dunno if this a fact or myth since people claim that AI enemy can hear you when you using TFAR or ACRE mod

Its called role playing and immersion bruh. Unlike call of duty this is supposed to simulate real firefights instead of insulting people’s mothers

@@kevinc.cucumber3697 If you really want to feel immersed, you can always walk down to your local recruiting’s office and enlist for infantry 😂 I’ve been playing Arma since 2012 and never felt the need to whisper into my mic to feel immersed but to each his own 😂😂

​@@XmarcX92who tf would want to serve this country and be used as the governments puppet?

Na. This dude got lucky and had the advantage of playing with the actual dev team in a private group. Unless you're part of a large Arma unit then you can expect to play this alone. Or with maybe 2-3 of your friends. And even if you get 4 - 5 of you guys together it will 90% of the time end in mission failure. You really do need at least an 8 - 10 man team to have a chance at a successful mission. Which is why I've just given up on trying to complete these missions

Imagine ghost recon but a vietnam dlc even middleast i would buy it straight away

Even with a clunky engine Arma 3 is FAR superior to any ghost recon 😂

There is something called Mike Force

No there's not. your loss. This is an amazing dlc. There's more to games than just pvp. Arma 3 is largely a co-op/ pve game. If you want pvp then go play siege.

Those are humans ....... More specifically that's the actual dev team with veterans that were actually in vietnam. He says so right in the video. If you pay attention life will get easier

It plays fine on a ryzen 5 2600 and gtx 1060 6g. Thats a mid range rig

@@KPTKleist maybe your rig is poorly optimized!

Yes

@@FriendlyNikolai it would be cool to see this gamemode with actual players, 80 players trying to track down 20 enemies that are running towards salvation

@@leonardotornesello930 it would be a clusterfuck tbh. Good luck finding 80 people who will take this seriously

​@@kevinc.cucumber3697exactly. And out of 80 of them 30 would be flying around not helping the ground units 20 of the would be going lone wolf and 30 would actually be taking it seriously 😂

Ok.... And this is a video game. It's not "cheating" at all.... A game is a game. It doesn't need to be ultra realistic.
