First attempt at playing, I talk to the mission guy and get a Logistics mission: take a truck of supplies to a nearby town. Look around, all I see is a crate of supplies, no truck. I buy a truck, but can't figure out how to load the crate onto the truck. Ragequit and restart.
Second attempt, ask for a Logistics mission, get told to talk to some random guy in some random town for something to do. I get to the guy, but the fact that I come out of the truck with my assault rifle in plain view causes all the civvies to go bugfuck and I see a notice that I'm wanted by NATO. New guy tells me to go steal or destroy a supply truck a few towns over. I get to about a kilometer from the target when I flip my truck, forcing me to walk. A minute later I hear shots fired at me. I turn toward where I'm being shot from and see nothing but a solid wall of tracers.
Third attempt, another Logistics mission, again take truck of supplies to town. No truck again, just crate. This time I figured out how to load them onto the truck(gotta back right up to it apparently). Problem, I bought a
military truck, so no undercover mode. I go cross-country to avoid checkpoints, but I must have run across a patrol. I believe I only got hit once, but that one bullet that hit me from behind punched me down through the bottom of the truck onto the ground.
Fourth attempt, screw it, give me an Assassination mission. It's the middle of the night. Target location is about a kilometer away from HQ. Before I head out, I dick around a bit at HQ and learn how to purchase a squad of soldiers, a truck for them, and even figured out ordering them around. I can't figure out how to get them into my personal squad, I can only give them squad waypoints which they follow, so that works.
I get to the target location, it's a basketball field. Nobody's around except civvies(Assassination objective markers are supposed to be general locations), but then I see NATO troops in a nearby building. Ordering my squad to drive forward and engage, I flank them. It being pitch-dark, I had to use their own flashlights to spot them, and if it wasn't for my guys laying suppression fire, they'd have killed me for sure. I give CPR to some of the wounded NATO soldiers, tell them to piss off(which supposedly lowers NATO aggression), but I don't find the traitor I'm supposed to kill. I did find a guy wearing Altis flags(the same flag over our HQ) rather than NATO, and assume he's the traitor, but a few bullets in his head only increases NATO ire. Can't find any target, cue ragequit.
Arma 3:
Antistasi scenario. Amazingly, it's not only playable single-player, but requires no other mods whatsoever.
