== Launcher ==
''See [[Arma 3 Launcher]]''
== Starting with the game ==
You bought the game, downloaded it, installed it, configured it ''via'' the launcher, started it: now what?<br>
If you are not familiar with the Arma series, a usual recommendation is to access the main menu and select Tutorial, you can find choices such as:
* Read the '''[https://arma3.com/assets/pdf/arma3_manual.pdf Game Manual]'''
* Read / configure your keys in the '''Game Options'''
* Read the in-game '''[[:Category:Arma 3: Field Manual|Field Manual]]''' (from Tutorial → Field Manual)
* Watch '''Community Guide''' videos ([https://store.steampowered.com/app/544940/2/14/ Steam] / [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfUcrRpCM_fLrk4KKLkQKrlTBh7txPaO3 YouTube])
* Read [https://ttp3.dslyecxi.com/ dslyecxi's Arma 3 Tactical Guide]

* [[#In-Game training|Practice]] and [[#Fighting|play]] in Single Player
* [[#Playing in Multiplayer|Play]] in Multiplayer
== Playing in Single Player ==
=== In-game training ===
* Play the '''VR Training''' missions to understand the principles

== Playing in Multiplayer ==
Playing in Multiplayer is way different from Single Player.
An AI can be predicted, its skill altered, its behaviour planned, whereas an experimented human being makes you wary of each and every of its moves.
* If you own [[Arma 3 Apex]], play its Multiplayer campaign "Apex Protocol" with experienced friends
* Hours of game bring experience no training can bring (situational awareness, reflexes)
* Find the kind of game you want (see available [[Multiplayer Game Types|Multiplayer game types]])
