I just played the game and had a blast! A noob like me being around experienced Arma players that know where the enemies are helped a lot to get into battles. Survived over an hour getting into 3 gunfights and capturing points
This!!! Now that I have the basics down, I'll be sure to pass them on to anyone with the Pvt. rank. Had a guy today that didn't know what to do, dropped him my RPG and he hit a moving vehicle. Made me super proud for some reason :D
@@I2italin how much fun bro! I was the exact same I played console for the first time. Did the tutorial like 3 times then jumped into a game and tagged along with some fellas and learnt so much already. And it’s so much fun just driving around with people having a laugh

To the people on the front lines: you're not using the radio backpack to its full potential. You can teleport from anywhere on the map to your radio. 1.Deploy radio in a secure area. 2. Upon death, respawn to any base where a yellow marker will show your location. 3. Pull up map, press the group menu (PS L1 + square) Choose the request transportation option. Then it will ask for your location. Put the curser on or near your location and select. Anyone in your squad can also teleport. Beware there is a cooldown and can not be spammed.
Radio's also use supplies around them like the arsenal bag. Place it by a hidden supply point and you have a spawn that can handle hundreds of vanilla kit spawns. A good spot for this would be in Arland, on the hidden supply bunkers on the airfield. You will never be found and it can turn the tide of a match because you can be really close to their supply points.
Last week I was in a packed match. Stayed alive with two guys for 2 hours. Took over 4 towns and killed probably 30 guys, took out multiple vehicles and two helicopters. It was so insane I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. Just pure adrenaline and mayhem.
Coming from Call of Duty and Warzone and the run n gun playstyle, this was just about 180 degree turnaround. And the 6 hour learning curve checks out lol
Not many people know but Arma Reforger is a tribute to Operation Flashpoint. The original game mode this is modeled after Capture the Island. W.C.S is prolly the best servers. Really glad to see this come back to life. One of my favorite games I played back in the early 2000's. However, there are many missed marks here. Base building should be a BDRM that is mobile and gives Commanders the option to build bases wherever they feel. In the original CTI you had Vulcan AA, A10's, Frogfoots and a few other jets. You also had the ability to have up to 11 AI under your control that you could have formations and put them into vehicles of your choice and send them wherever you want. This would lead to some epic battles. Where are the tanks? I would really like to see some of these features come back. There is so much potential for this game.
Free base building is mentioned on the roadmap so its defenitely coming in a future update. Theyve also announced more content coming on their youtube channel community post. I guess theyll gradually keep updating the game till 2027 when they release arma 4. Arma reforger is basically a beta to arma 4. They are now testing their new enfusion engine with arma reforger
Operation Flashpoint was such a great game! I’ve been watching Arma Reforger videos for years now. I don’t have a gaming computer, but I see it’s on PS5 now. Maybe I gotta give it a go.

My tip to any Arma multiplayer noobs (which I am also), please dont drive straight to the enemy objective because that is a surefire way to die ingame. You should stop at least 1km from objective or at least beyond line of sight of the town and ditch the car or truck in a safe place (and hidden in trees for example), so that you may excecute these approaches shown in this video without being detected. I thought this would be obvious, but after playing a few games with other probable newbs it turns it was not.
Make sure you turn off the engine before you get close. The sound carries for a long distance and the enemy WILL hear you if you get too close. They can also hear it idling if you leave it running.
7:30 don’t go “looking for the fight”. Aim to win the game by capturing strategic objectives (e.g. purple named locations on the map or the large radio towers)…when you do that, the fight will come naturally. If in doubt look to capture and defend objectives around the centre of the map. And team up with a couple of others. I find randoms are pretty good to play with generally
This is 100% correct!!! Took me about 8 hours of gameplay to understand what's going on. But once you start learning the game it is so fun. I love taking three rookies and just throwing them in the battle while teaching them how to play the game.
I have nine hundred and eighty hours on Arma, reforger myself. And i'm about to drop some crazy tips for you. The high explosive has no shrapnel by itself, but depending on the material of the surface you shoot it on, it causes more or less shrapnel. If you shoot the top of a tree or the center of the tree, a secondary particle effect will take place in airburst with a wooden shrapnel with a five meter instant killer radius. And also tip number 2 Anything can ricochet pretty much any material, including your armors. That's why the Russian helmets are much better. They're made out of metal, so they have for the same ricochet chance as metal the titanium plate vest has the Sam ricochet chances medal. And as well, for modded, servers, any armor plate has a very high ricochet chance and glint chance but the chance of a ricochet can be reduced based on the angle that you shoot them at dead on shots try to get your bullet to contact As straight as possible n for modded servers, if you're not using side glint plates on a plate carrier. You can one shot somebody in the chest by shooting them in like the armpits and s*** i got more but this is getting too long.Add, i'm using talk to text So the grammar is s***, but anyway, there you go
I play a lot US team in vannilla, and my tip to recon enemy is to watch the helmet, if it is brown, it is enemy. and tip two : if you're in an ambush, from either side, yell "friendly", they will stop for like one second to process that you're lying
IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) is easily the biggest issue I run into with teammates who either don't bother to brush up on Uniforms/Camo Patterns/Vehicles, or they decide to look as much like the enemy as possible. I always get mad after I live through a potential team kill because my teammate was so dumb as to either not know the distinctive looks of the vanilla factions (unless they're new), or entirely disregard armbands. I play "Road to Bakhmut", and COVER myself in colored bands, and never wear/use anything but what my faction stereotypically uses.
Only 0.4% of players got the supply transported achievement, get those numbers up boys. Few tips to supply, don’t rush arsenals at the start of the match. Your team can’t afford your loadouts while trying to buy vehicles in the beginning otherwise your game will be walking simulator. We only start out with one transport truck that can haul 600 supplies so prioritize building radio antennas while capturing bases because these signal connections add to the passive supply income of your bases. Save your expensive loadouts for mid-late game (contacts to enemy team), AI is too brutal to waste your kit on and drag the team down. Another point is to try and coordinate in 6 man squads instead of just running around solo, the benefit is less abuse on platoon channel and if one guy carries a RADIO PACK, they can put it in the ground and deploy it as a SQUAD SPAWN. I emphasize this because it saves supply and players will be more coordinated and effective. We don’t need overstacking on objectives because when you die and respawn that burns supply up and people can’t spawn in, you will learn large numbers is more often then not chaotic and not beneficial. Teams need to be able to attack and defend multiple points to win the game. You don’t have to be milsim to be good at the game or be a good team player, few simple adjustments will improve your experience and make everyone happy.
@ I got that achievement probably a year ago back when there were few decent modded servers and that number never changed. That’s 0.4% on steam, so Idk if it’s counting just that or all platforms but that’s still bad and it points to mentality being poor and people in general don’t take the role of logistics. It’s bad either way because it goes to show it’s not just a console player problem. I think in the beginning people try to do it but they get discouraged from it because it’s kinda pointless to do it in many cases cause your hours of hard work get wasted. People asking for resupply during an attack on point will never get supply, it almost never happens so your best bet is to take over a bunch of bases and build antennas for passive income.
What a great video, Instead of moaning about new players and saying where we are going wrong, and how we are ruining the game experience for experienced players. You have shown how to play the game I really appreciate the time spent making this I have liked and followed 🙏 U da man
16:00 As a newcomer to this game (80 hours in so far), I’ve noticed that one particular two-story building in Chotain seems to be the holy grail for the defending team. It feels like the other defense points barely exist for them-this building is their entire focus. In every match, when we attack this base, it seems like half, if not the entire defending team, is holed up in that one spot. Sure, they die frequently inside, but because it doubles as their respawn point-and with the added seconds of invulnerability-they use it to relentlessly push back attackers. Just yesterday, we spent two, maybe three hours trying to take this one base because nearly the entire enemy team was entrenched in that single building.
Great advice on that Coastal Defense. Just two days ago I was in a 3 man Soviet team that attacked from the treeline side along the beach. Stayed among the rocks and killed a few guys. Almost captured the base before they all spawned in.
great video even for those who play Arma like it's a reglion. I found your guide to be very helpful. while I was sick with a cold for two weeks I played a sh*t ton of Reforger and I was having fun till I came across your video this explained things even for a 5000+ hour Arma 3 OG alpha player that's got less then 500 hours into reforger to understand the flow of the maps and modes even easier. thank you for your explination you saved us a few rounds on Kleans servers 2 rounds in a row we won. Your style of explaining things made it easier for me and my friends to understand how we should plan our routes and make supply runs as an actual convoy instead of just the supply truck. On our edventure we took out 3 enemy supply tucks and manged to haggle our way to their base and trapped them for a good 15 minutes till a heli came and killed half our crew. it made things seem easier when we watched your video in our discord call together all 15 of us. it was great to see someone explain things in a much more managable easier way to those even still that play Reforger a lot that are not new players but at the same time we were able to understand your explenations where and what positions to attack from and to. I would like to say thank you for your hard work on this amazing video. You helped us win 2 games in a row. Mike.
when you talk about faction appearances you mention American forces when looking at Soviets, Soviets when looking at AI, and AI when looking at American
movement really helps take a few shots (kills) and move i call it shoot and scoot go for one to three kills then relocate make sure to have good concealment/cover if you plan on taking multiple shots movement and positioning is key in arma
also if you are on a modded server utilize radio backpacks they let other players spawn on you giving you xp and helping the team cap an objective i like to sit on the edge of the point just in range of the cap deploying troops
Still building up the gumption to embrace the suck. I play mostly support/logistics when I can. Any recommendations for this playstyle? I give no Fs how many kills I get. But if I can successfully build shit up or do a massive supply drop that turns the tide of the game, I get stoked. I let you young bucks farm souls.
Just prioritize radio antennas first because with more connections it generates more passive supply income, you won’t have to work as hard playing logistics and you can go out and do other things.
4:40 something for people to keep in mind, a lot of us atleast on servers like W.C.S will take enemy rifles if we run out of ammo or just need a new rifle for whatever reason, same with rocket launchers, don't base it solely off of the weapons but do keep them in mind, W.C.S some of us remove our armbands when sniping as well. a lot of servers do not allow you to take enemy uniforms though so learning the different camos and uniforms is the best way to 100% be able to identify an enemy, if you tk on accident because of them wearing enemy uniform, most would agree that is not your fault, when you put an enemy uniform on you accept that risk
Just watched a video on the deployable radio or mobile spawn point in Arma and gives you about 5 redeploys anywhere on the map and you can take it with you and move about the map with it
Would have been helpful for you to have footage of how the supply system works and how to transport supplies when you were explaining it instead of just random gameplay
So what you want to do every time you take a point is prioritize building the radio antenna, the more signal connections you have at other bases the more passive supply income. So you could drive a truck and save that supply of 600 and realistically build 2-3 antennas, also if you build heavy depot you can pull up and drop supplies in that which is usually easier than pulling up to the command tent especially if it’s in a tight spot. Also be on the lookout for supply caches across the map, saves long trips.
I’ve played a hundred or so hours of squad, and this game has taken me about 25 or so hours to actually start really getting the hang of it. It was fun leading up to those 25 hours but now it’s just a different experience. So much fun
There needs to be a commander role to unify the team. Right now it seems like there are no leaders, just groups of 3 people randomly doing whatever they want. No one defends or prepares bases to be attacked. It's just spawn a jeep, drive, die. Half the people seem to be dicking around not actually pushing objectives.
The hillside tree line on military site is a scout snipers dream. I dropped 50+ US troops in that base as a Russian sniper on official. Had several search parties come looking for me and just kept rotating north/south on the hillside after every few kills to make the US players assume there were multiple snipers. Eventually, night fell, and a full scale USSR assault on military site began. I then proceeded to sneak into the command building, take out two US troops, steal their kit, and become a spy, suprise attacking any US players that were too thick to realise I didn't have a name over my head. Eventually, they caught on, and several stormed the building to take me out. Was an absolute blast of a match!
Liked and Subscribed. I've been looking at getting back into milsim multiplayer after a long, long hiatus. This might be where I first dip my toes again, thanks to your video. Cheers!
I have played over 700 hours on Arma 3. But not played this game yet. It needs more work for me to get into it. Lets hope it improves over the next year or so. Arma 4 I wish.
I have 3000+ hours on Arma 3, but have not been back since getting into Reforger. Now I’ve 1000+ hours on Reforger. TBF, it depends what you’re into, but the Reforger environment is so immersive and intuitive and smooth, it’s great! And the driving! I love it!
I loved Arma Reforger, it's not as easily understandable as something like Squad, simply because you don't even see yourself on a map (GPS wasn't a thing during 80's yk). Once you get to understand how it all works, you're having such a blast though.
Anytime you, Tom, Jack and Stod upload a video about this game, I'm hooked. However, I can imagine being creators you all have 4090's and either Ryzen x3D or 13th/14th gen I7/I9 chips. What's the performance like on a "comman man" setup?
The game is very good. I think the sound is very realistic. I started playing two weeks ago and i noticed that the more people start playing, the more there are players with some intellectual delay who like to spend their time doing team kills. Apart from that and some lag, the game is excellent.
I wish people cooperated more like how squads role together in the game squad. Arma reforger looks mostly like uncontrollerd chaos with only a few people actualy working together properly.
Use bushes, treelines, forests etc for concealment avoid staying in the open. never stay in the same spot once engaged the enemy, always reposition if possible. Use 7.62 guns (or higher) for more armour pen. Very contradicting to the statement but don't take the game too seriously or you will get frustrated. These are just the tips I personally use while in game.
You have to join the same Server and then join same Squad. We sometimes use PS Party until we are together. But be aware to leave PS Party to use ingame chat!
For someone who is trying to get into streaming the game, is there an active discord for people trying to team up? I find when I get into game even on servers like WCS, the squads are never communicating and everyone is kind of just running around doing their own thing.
Honestly just seems like the wave of new players not knowing what’s going on. There’s just too many people that want to be Chris Kyle or just don’t think things through. Hopefully they’ll start picking it up soon because I feel the exact same way as you right now.
All I want to know is how to stop looking through the btr periscopes on console without having to get out. Edit: Also how do you make ai convoys work as GM? Do they only work on vanilla maps?
I played insurgency sandstorm for three years now and I played hell let loose for about the same amount of time I just got this game two days ago and I got into a server and played for about 7 hours. It took about an hour to learn the game about two hours to polish the controls and then after that about three hours of figuring out how to read a damn map.😂
This video needs to be played to new players that launch the game for the first time....... I know there is a training mode but I think a video like this would do wonders. Great video very informative even though as an experienced Arma player I love seeing people like us help new players. Cheers!
So worried about playing this 😂 As a 'DayZ vet' I thought it would be basically the same. There's so many more buttons to press! Good luck whoever squads with us 😂
I had this game for 6 days and iam just getting the hang of things . Lol . I find dayz so easy after playing this . And i remember thinking dayz was hard
With 2700 hours in reforger alone, my best tips for pvp. Always use cover wether it's hard cover from buildings or using terrain to your advantage. Never go as the crow flies, a longer route whilst remaining concealed will pay off. Always check your flanks and your rear. Never run solo, teamwork, communications and coordination will win games.
4:49 you forget we steal gear like tye little loot goblins we are and I’ve seen people wear enemies uniforms Tahts getting a fix this update, kill an enemy in their uniform and lose xp, kill a friendly in an enemy uniform and you get no penalty.
There are a few things they could do to improve the game (besides fps/performance which needs some work on console): 1. Have specific supplies for certain tasks 2. Fix the squad situation, squads are all but useless. There needs to be something that brings squads together. I love squad based games and this could be one but 99% of the time I’m rolling with dudes not in my squad. 3.) Officer or commander-there needs to be someone in charge With as realistic as the game is I can’t figure out why they haven’t addressed these things. They could learn a lot from HLL….
No, I don’t want an HLL or Squad clone. Both of those games are based on Arma anyways, conflict is designed to be casual “light-milsim”. It can be as serious as you want it to be and you forget even games that have mechanics that force team play it’s still a rarity even in HLL. Arma is much more of a sandbox game where communities come together to make their own game modes and dedicated milsims if that’s what you’re looking for so it makes sense that the official game mode is a blend of both. If you don’t believe me then look no further than the KOTH, Wasteland, Arma-life, DayZ (mod), ect communities. Those are all popular sandbox experiences with player freedom. If you want your milsim tactical shooter gameplay that is offered on servers that do that. That’s all Reforger is anyways is just a testing ground for modders to get ready for Arma4. I played squad and HLL, I feel like half of that game’s experiences is not what is advertised. Y’all for the most part don’t communicate or even better abandon SL positions and commander. You need some serious introspection on that man, when it’s there it’s great when it’s not annoying personally, I don’t blame people not wanting to listen to 3 separate voice chats go off at once. In reforger I turn the fkin radio off and go play.
People say running logistics is crap, i have had more fun running logistics that i did banding with a crew and taking objectives, the ambushes and random base raids as we arrive put me so on edge but yet clearing a dozen people who thought they had the drop on you is SO satisfying 😂😂
If only newbies would look listen and learn and ask how and why rather then spamming main comms with their personal thoughts and conversations. Make your own squad to talk freely with the guys you want to without everyone else having to listen. Understand at any time the enemy could be listening to your conversations too so you should always use the code names to the towns not their actual names that’s why the towns have two names, an objective area might be called Montignac but below it it’ll say something like Alpha. So don’t say boys we’re pushing montignac, say we’re pushing Alpha. That way the enemy has no idea where your going and what your planning. Use your binoculars to identify targets, get used to uniforms and what an American heli looks like versus what a Russian one looks like. Don’t use all the supplies gearing yourself out to the max just to die within a few minutes. Wasted supplies, take a suppressor, that’s it until you know what the fuck is going on. When you see a corpse always grab their spare medical supplies and ammo.
I wish we could get modern "mod" cosmetics on console.. im really thinking about purchasing this game for my ps5... i dont mind the 90s era but id love to have modern optica and carbines 😊
None of the servers I have played yet has those armbands to see friend/foe, is this a mod? edit: aah, got the answer. Hope it gets into the default game, its used IRLW so why not.

I emphasize this because it saves supply and players will be more coordinated and effective. We don’t need overstacking on objectives because when you die and respawn that burns supply up and people can’t spawn in, you will learn large numbers is more often then not chaotic and not beneficial. Teams need to be able to attack and defend multiple points to win the game.
You don’t have to be milsim to be good at the game or be a good team player, few simple adjustments will improve your experience and make everyone happy.
I think you get the achievement only when playing on official servers...
I don't have the achievement but did a lot of supply truck runs
@ I got that achievement probably a year ago back when there were few decent modded servers and that number never changed. That’s 0.4% on steam, so Idk if it’s counting just that or all platforms but that’s still bad and it points to mentality being poor and people in general don’t take the role of logistics. It’s bad either way because it goes to show it’s not just a console player problem. I think in the beginning people try to do it but they get discouraged from it because it’s kinda pointless to do it in many cases cause your hours of hard work get wasted. People asking for resupply during an attack on point will never get supply, it almost never happens so your best bet is to take over a bunch of bases and build antennas for passive income.
You truly are The "Tactical" Brit. Keep 'em coming. Thanks.
What a great video,
Instead of moaning about new players and saying where we are going wrong, and how we are ruining the game experience for experienced players.
You have shown how to play the game
I really appreciate the time spent making this
I have liked and followed 🙏
U da man
16:00 As a newcomer to this game (80 hours in so far), I’ve noticed that one particular two-story building in Chotain seems to be the holy grail for the defending team. It feels like the other defense points barely exist for them-this building is their entire focus. In every match, when we attack this base, it seems like half, if not the entire defending team, is holed up in that one spot. Sure, they die frequently inside, but because it doubles as their respawn point-and with the added seconds of invulnerability-they use it to relentlessly push back attackers. Just yesterday, we spent two, maybe three hours trying to take this one base because nearly the entire enemy team was entrenched in that single building.
Great advice on that Coastal Defense. Just two days ago I was in a 3 man Soviet team that attacked from the treeline side along the beach. Stayed among the rocks and killed a few guys. Almost captured the base before they all spawned in.
great video even for those who play Arma like it's a reglion. I found your guide to be very helpful. while I was sick with a cold for two weeks I played a sh*t ton of Reforger and I was having fun till I came across your video this explained things even for a 5000+ hour Arma 3 OG alpha player that's got less then 500 hours into reforger to understand the flow of the maps and modes even easier. thank you for your explination you saved us a few rounds on Kleans servers 2 rounds in a row we won. Your style of explaining things made it easier for me and my friends to understand how we should plan our routes and make supply runs as an actual convoy instead of just the supply truck. On our edventure we took out 3 enemy supply tucks and manged to haggle our way to their base and trapped them for a good 15 minutes till a heli came and killed half our crew. it made things seem easier when we watched your video in our discord call together all 15 of us. it was great to see someone explain things in a much more managable easier way to those even still that play Reforger a lot that are not new players but at the same time we were able to understand your explenations where and what positions to attack from and to. I would like to say thank you for your hard work on this amazing video. You helped us win 2 games in a row.
Mike.
Started yesterday and good god this game is so complicated but I’m starting to slowly understand and get everything down and starting to get hooked
when you talk about faction appearances you mention American forces when looking at Soviets, Soviets when looking at AI, and AI when looking at American
I noticed that too and was like "WTF?". By doing that he's made things worse by teaching newbies the complete opposite of what he meant
movement really helps take a few shots (kills) and move i call it shoot and scoot go for one to three kills then relocate make sure to have good concealment/cover if you plan on taking multiple shots movement and positioning is key in arma
also if you are on a modded server utilize radio backpacks they let other players spawn on you giving you xp and helping the team cap an objective i like to sit on the edge of the point just in range of the cap deploying troops
I think im going to pick this up Friday. Been waiting to take the jump from A3.
Hope you did bud your missing out if not lots of good gameplay
Still building up the gumption to embrace the suck. I play mostly support/logistics when I can. Any recommendations for this playstyle? I give no Fs how many kills I get. But if I can successfully build shit up or do a massive supply drop that turns the tide of the game, I get stoked. I let you young bucks farm souls.
I do this with my friend. We simply run supplies and build bases. Thats it. It's actually very rewarding. You're welcome to join us.
Think about the map in segments or thirds. When one area looks low in supplies and players, that's a priority for reinforcement
Supply bases that are fueling the frontline and fall backs for those. You are basically supplying the advance.
You’re the most valuable type of player, my friend!
Just prioritize radio antennas first because with more connections it generates more passive supply income, you won’t have to work as hard playing logistics and you can go out and do other things.
4:40 something for people to keep in mind, a lot of us atleast on servers like W.C.S will take enemy rifles if we run out of ammo or just need a new rifle for whatever reason, same with rocket launchers, don't base it solely off of the weapons but do keep them in mind, W.C.S some of us remove our armbands when sniping as well. a lot of servers do not allow you to take enemy uniforms though so learning the different camos and uniforms is the best way to 100% be able to identify an enemy, if you tk on accident because of them wearing enemy uniform, most would agree that is not your fault, when you put an enemy uniform on you accept that risk
Just watched a video on the deployable radio or mobile spawn point in Arma and gives you about 5 redeploys anywhere on the map and you can take it with you and move about the map with it
i watched your live stream this morning, and ive got to say u where on fire ,enjoyed you wiping out jeep fulls of people !!!
Would have been helpful for you to have footage of how the supply system works and how to transport supplies when you were explaining it instead of just random gameplay
@@mikeharman4257 Ironbeard has many great system videos.
Tutorial in the game exist and it's pretty good.
So what you want to do every time you take a point is prioritize building the radio antenna, the more signal connections you have at other bases the more passive supply income. So you could drive a truck and save that supply of 600 and realistically build 2-3 antennas, also if you build heavy depot you can pull up and drop supplies in that which is usually easier than pulling up to the command tent especially if it’s in a tight spot. Also be on the lookout for supply caches across the map, saves long trips.
I’ve played a hundred or so hours of squad, and this game has taken me about 25 or so hours to actually start really getting the hang of it. It was fun leading up to those 25 hours but now it’s just a different experience. So much fun
There needs to be a commander role to unify the team. Right now it seems like there are no leaders, just groups of 3 people randomly doing whatever they want. No one defends or prepares bases to be attacked. It's just spawn a jeep, drive, die. Half the people seem to be dicking around not actually pushing objectives.
@@DonaldJPump24 people rarely listen anyway. Many do t bring radios because they forget to get one when changing pants.
The hillside tree line on military site is a scout snipers dream. I dropped 50+ US troops in that base as a Russian sniper on official. Had several search parties come looking for me and just kept rotating north/south on the hillside after every few kills to make the US players assume there were multiple snipers.
Eventually, night fell, and a full scale USSR assault on military site began. I then proceeded to sneak into the command building, take out two US troops, steal their kit, and become a spy, suprise attacking any US players that were too thick to realise I didn't have a name over my head. Eventually, they caught on, and several stormed the building to take me out.
Was an absolute blast of a match!
Even the gun fire sounds way more realistic than other games bro. Coming from a gun enthusiast in real life.
@Andino. try ready or not and insurgency sandstorm, the sound is unreal
@@tatemushroom1002 yes, insurgency sound is a masterpiece. Too bad that game is about dead at this point.
@@tatemushroom1002 RoN sound design is just 👌
Got Arma reforger a week ago and I gotta say it’s soo fun, love the WCS servers and the heli’s
Just got this game, I had so much fun mostly thanks to the experienced players. Team fights are as incredible as the game is detailed.
Yeah! Keep the tips comming! Maybe one day we will reach the state where players wont be exploding in full cars in the middle of enemy points!
As a hell let loose veteran this game has me excited and I’m already prepped
cant wait to get into this, picked it up last night on ps5. I have played alot of HLL
Liked and Subscribed. I've been looking at getting back into milsim multiplayer after a long, long hiatus. This might be where I first dip my toes again, thanks to your video. Cheers!
I have played over 700 hours on Arma 3. But not played this game yet. It needs more work for me to get into it. Lets hope it improves over the next year or so. Arma 4 I wish.
I have 3000+ hours on Arma 3, but have not been back since getting into Reforger. Now I’ve 1000+ hours on Reforger. TBF, it depends what you’re into, but the Reforger environment is so immersive and intuitive and smooth, it’s great! And the driving! I love it!
The amount of players playing it ATM is worth playing it it won't last forever
Bro has IRL high military command skills now. Thanks for the vid sir o7
I have not got out of training I've been putting myself through the paces so to speak
I really need help for spotting hidden enemies in bushes or plants ext and how do I get better at that
Man, I'm gonna link this video to so many noobs. Amazing job
I loved Arma Reforger, it's not as easily understandable as something like Squad, simply because you don't even see yourself on a map (GPS wasn't a thing during 80's yk).
Once you get to understand how it all works, you're having such a blast though.
How do you get the modern guns?
Mods. Ps5 getting mods soon
Anytime you, Tom, Jack and Stod upload a video about this game, I'm hooked. However, I can imagine being creators you all have 4090's and either Ryzen x3D or 13th/14th gen I7/I9 chips. What's the performance like on a "comman man" setup?
I'd say it floats around 60 for the common man
The game is very good.
I think the sound is very realistic.
I started playing two weeks ago and i noticed that the more people start playing, the more there are players with some intellectual delay who like to spend their time doing team kills.
Apart from that and some lag, the game is excellent.
That little bunch of trees on north side of coastal at 17:30 is guna be packed 😂
Chain link was the first thing that came to mind when I picked up this game
Can you do a setting and keybinds video, my game looks great in daytime but night time is rough
Can enemies hijack a supply truck and use the supplies within it for their own use?
yes
How come you get to zoom in with the 4x scope in modded ? I can only do it withthe 1x sight . Am i missing something ?
I bought it for ps5, but i felt the graphics and performance was kinda crap.
I've still had fun, but it definitely looks a better experience on PC.
@@BulletToothTony79 it hits 60fps mostly on the pro. The games a blast! So addictive.
@@boabyone 120 plus on pc bro
@@gregprouse1173 if you have a really good pc that costs thousands.
@@gregprouse1173If you have a couple thousand $ for a rig😂
I spent that a few years ago and now im at 30-60 fps if I want the game to look decent
I wish people cooperated more like how squads role together in the game squad. Arma reforger looks mostly like uncontrollerd chaos with only a few people actualy working together properly.
Use bushes, treelines, forests etc for concealment avoid staying in the open. never stay in the same spot once engaged the enemy, always reposition if possible. Use 7.62 guns (or higher) for more armour pen. Very contradicting to the statement but don't take the game too seriously or you will get frustrated. These are just the tips I personally use while in game.
How do I get my friends in a party together on PS5?
You have to join the same Server and then join same Squad. We sometimes use PS Party until we are together. But be aware to leave PS Party to use ingame chat!
No armored personnel carriers or tanks?
BTRs are in, heavier stuff is coming
The game is great but the people that play it is what makes it better. Getting help . Funny talking etc
Are your key binds and settings posted somewhere?
For someone who is trying to get into streaming the game, is there an active discord for people trying to team up? I find when I get into game even on servers like WCS, the squads are never communicating and everyone is kind of just running around doing their own thing.
Honestly just seems like the wave of new players not knowing what’s going on. There’s just too many people that want to be Chris Kyle or just don’t think things through. Hopefully they’ll start picking it up soon because I feel the exact same way as you right now.
lookin forward for them turning on destruction '')
All I want to know is how to stop looking through the btr periscopes on console without having to get out.
Edit: Also how do you make ai convoys work as GM? Do they only work on vanilla maps?
I played insurgency sandstorm for three years now and I played hell let loose for about the same amount of time I just got this game two days ago and I got into a server and played for about 7 hours. It took about an hour to learn the game about two hours to polish the controls and then after that about three hours of figuring out how to read a damn map.😂
THIS GAME IS FUCKING AMAZING I've always wanted to play an "Arma" game and wow just blown away.... I hope the other arma games release on console
I just downloaded it on my cbox and ive been sitting here for 35 minutes trying to find a match. Help
I’m happy he didn’t point out my attacking point on Montignac
Can I play this solo? Always play solo games but this looks so cool.
What mod did you get that had the acog with the acss reticle
This video needs to be played to new players that launch the game for the first time....... I know there is a training mode but I think a video like this would do wonders. Great video very informative even though as an experienced Arma player I love seeing people like us help new players. Cheers!
Can't wait to get in on this. Can't decide between PS5 or Xbox though. Fuck off with PC comments cos I don't have one lol
Xbox allows mods, PS5 does not.
If you want the cool mods, xbox.
Base game is lacking compared to mods.
Now this what you calla military game baby🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I’m
Getting use to it day by day
how do you get into modern war servers ?
Immensely helpful, thank you!!
Excellent intro. Thanks!
13:00 - Montignac isn't the actual point, its the farm on the east side
Edit: 15:04 - yeah because that's the objective
Depends on the game/mod
I’ll say don’t use rockets to fully PID as it’s very common to pick up enemy’s if you used yours to ambush.
The game doesn't need direction or coordination. The players do. That's a them problem.
So worried about playing this 😂
As a 'DayZ vet' I thought it would be basically the same. There's so many more buttons to press! Good luck whoever squads with us 😂
Excellent video!
Thanks. I needed this. I'm trying to transition from (too many) hours of Squad to A/R.
If you played so many hours of arma why would you need tips for arma from a call of duty streamer ?
@@riisky2411he said Squad, dude
…just watch out for the doors…they open and close! 😂😂😂
@ oops
I had this game for 6 days and iam just getting the hang of things . Lol . I find dayz so easy after playing this . And i remember thinking dayz was hard
With 2700 hours in reforger alone, my best tips for pvp.
Always use cover wether it's hard cover from buildings or using terrain to your advantage.
Never go as the crow flies, a longer route whilst remaining concealed will pay off.
Always check your flanks and your rear.
Never run solo, teamwork, communications and coordination will win games.
Good concise information 📚
graphics settings? do you use taa or smaa? my game looks kinda bad
Its optimized?
15:40
Me just spawning in "ok"
4:49 you forget we steal gear like tye little loot goblins we are and I’ve seen people wear enemies uniforms
Tahts getting a fix this update, kill an enemy in their uniform and lose xp, kill a friendly in an enemy uniform and you get no penalty.
I can't even find an armory when I try to play. Just stuck with a base m16
There are a few things they could do to improve the game (besides fps/performance which needs some work on console):
1. Have specific supplies for certain tasks
2. Fix the squad situation, squads are all but useless. There needs to be something that brings squads together. I love squad based games and this could be one but 99% of the time I’m rolling with dudes not in my squad.
3.) Officer or commander-there needs to be someone in charge
With as realistic as the game is I can’t figure out why they haven’t addressed these things.
They could learn a lot from HLL….
what could they learn from HLL ? that the general community is too stupid to play the game together ?
@ I don’t know what you’re saying…
I literally just listed three things
And there are others…
No, I don’t want an HLL or Squad clone. Both of those games are based on Arma anyways, conflict is designed to be casual “light-milsim”. It can be as serious as you want it to be and you forget even games that have mechanics that force team play it’s still a rarity even in HLL. Arma is much more of a sandbox game where communities come together to make their own game modes and dedicated milsims if that’s what you’re looking for so it makes sense that the official game mode is a blend of both. If you don’t believe me then look no further than the KOTH, Wasteland, Arma-life, DayZ (mod), ect communities. Those are all popular sandbox experiences with player freedom. If you want your milsim tactical shooter gameplay that is offered on servers that do that. That’s all Reforger is anyways is just a testing ground for modders to get ready for Arma4.
I played squad and HLL, I feel like half of that game’s experiences is not what is advertised. Y’all for the most part don’t communicate or even better abandon SL positions and commander. You need some serious introspection on that man, when it’s there it’s great when it’s not annoying personally, I don’t blame people not wanting to listen to 3 separate voice chats go off at once. In reforger I turn the fkin radio off and go play.
@ thank you
Territory Control from Squad would be nice for this game
People say running logistics is crap, i have had more fun running logistics that i did banding with a crew and taking objectives, the ambushes and random base raids as we arrive put me so on edge but yet clearing a dozen people who thought they had the drop on you is SO satisfying 😂😂
Great video dude
If only newbies would look listen and learn and ask how and why rather then spamming main comms with their personal thoughts and conversations. Make your own squad to talk freely with the guys you want to without everyone else having to listen. Understand at any time the enemy could be listening to your conversations too so you should always use the code names to the towns not their actual names that’s why the towns have two names, an objective area might be called Montignac but below it it’ll say something like Alpha. So don’t say boys we’re pushing montignac, say we’re pushing Alpha. That way the enemy has no idea where your going and what your planning. Use your binoculars to identify targets, get used to uniforms and what an American heli looks like versus what a Russian one looks like. Don’t use all the supplies gearing yourself out to the max just to die within a few minutes. Wasted supplies, take a suppressor, that’s it until you know what the fuck is going on. When you see a corpse always grab their spare medical supplies and ammo.
I disagree on coastal… they like to shoot from those sides, but 99% of the time they’ll sneak in behind while you’re looking at the coast and hill.
I needed this earlier! 😅
Are there actual gun battles in the game or is it mostly sniper joy boys killing from a thousand yards away?
There are many gun battles.
I wish we could get modern "mod" cosmetics on console.. im really thinking about purchasing this game for my ps5... i dont mind the 90s era but id love to have modern optica and carbines 😊
Modern era is so over done. I find the setting a breath of fresh air.
Thanks legend ❤
None of the servers I have played yet has those armbands to see friend/foe, is this a mod?
edit: aah, got the answer. Hope it gets into the default game, its used IRLW so why not.
