OPEX | Malden

Opex is a long-term campaign for ARMA 3 that simulates the intervention of a foreign military force (originally the French Foreign Legion) in international territory with a huge number of both primary and secondary missions and an immersive open world.
This campaign is highly recommended for Hardcore players or communities, or those looking for an immersive, realistic, and challenging experience where every death matters and every bullet counts, or for those who want a campaign where they can build their own lore.
IMPORTANT: THE OPEX BASE FILE IS 100% REQUIRED

• 🟧STORY:
  *Opex recreates a military intervention in a territory after it has been occupied by an invading force. Your duty is to liberate the territory, help the trapped civilians, and eliminate the invaders through several main and secondary missions. Many events can occur during the intervention, such as battles between allied forces, UNA intervention, betrayal by police forces, civilian uprisings, IDAP involvement, natural disasters — all while the story you create is reported in real-time by world newspapers.

This campaign includes all the scripts I have created, including the remaster and future ones I will release. So you don’t need to have them separately if you are playing this campaign.
The "Opex Base" MOD is 100% required since it includes all the images and sounds shown in the campaign. As I continue adding factions, I prefer to modify that file rather than the scenario itself.


🟥I’ve fixed a lot of issues from the original version, but obviously I can’t test the scenario in every existing environment or situation. So I kindly ask you to report any bugs in the designated section as specifically as possible. If you don’t report issues clearly, I won’t take them into account.
The new area for unofficial languages includes Finnish, Taiwanese, among others, but it’s still in testing. The translations are already done, but sometimes the texts don’t change or refuse to load — so I ask for patience from speakers of those languages.
There’s a small glitch upon respawn after dying: you may reappear after a second. It doesn’t affect anything, but it’s necessary to safely load scripts for you without affecting other players.
Once the community confirms the campaign works without errors, I will add AEGIS factions and continue releasing new maps.



🟨This scenario is not mine, nor are many of its features. I’ve been in charge of translating it to new languages, fixing it, and adding new features — but the base scenario belongs to Gemini and all the other modders who contributed their knowledge. I’m just one more of them, but since no one else has been able to fix and revive Opex, I took it upon myself to continue Gemini’s legacy.
