An ArmA 3 Community

ArmA is first and foremost Community-driven. When we desire a feature in the game, we create it. And when we desired a fraternity, a close knit element of ArmA enthusiasts and content creators - we founded it. Welcome to the Coalition. A Community of individuals who embody our values of Teamwork, Engaging Gameplay, Competition and Fun.

So that's where we started, but we wanted to ensure that each member fully understands these values and has a history with the community, hence the application process. You've now officially entered into a true fraternity built around ArmA, but this just is your first step. Over the course of the following "entry" or "training" period, generally lasting 1-3 months, you'll learn every detail of the group through immersion. Our door is never open, but you've knocked and come in for a while. During this period of time all full-fledged members can contribute their Peer-opinion of you which is consistently analyzed. After your initial entry period is complete the Peer-review itself will determine your ability to remain.

In this way we are not overly discriminatory with newcomers, we bring them into our fold. Cancerous members are quickly stricken from the group, and overall decisions on remaining newcomers stands democratically with the majority. In fact we maintain that many decisions be democratically decided. From mod suggestions to community design and policy, we are built by our members - and not merely by an administrative cabal.


Weekend events are formed around the ArmA missions themselves, separated by a day dedicated to the community. On Saturdays, members network and gather to play all sorts of games, collaborate on projects, and occasionally partake in administration hosted special events and competitions.
