The 2-6 hour long matches are why I'm working on my Seize & Secure game mode - which tightens up the action and reduces stalemating. We play on Sundays if you want to check it out!
Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis / Cold War Assault will never be topped. That title has just so much charm, but i am happy they are updating this and bringing it more to what they wanted, especially if it is supposed to be a bridge towards future Arma 4. Graphically probably the most photo realistic or believable and not just because it is aiming to be, but really nailing the lighting.
The sound is pretty crazy too even without the mods, the fact you can track sumone across the map just following gunshots or explosions is crazy. And I gotta say the render distance on xbox seems crazy I've never played a console game where 1000+ meters in any direction are actually rendered in and accurate it blew me away to actually see my shot land clear across the map on top of one of the mountains.
Reforger when the day goes into night and full pitch black are insane. The lighting with vehicles, bullets etc are stunning in Reforger. When reforger works, it works beautifully but servers and lag is a big issue
Bohemia Interactive is like a single, loving working parent who cannot give us the life we wanted as kids, but does his best to bring a bit of joy and love into our lives through Arma Reforger. The modders are like the friends that make life worth living and give you fun experiences, even if you cannot expect them to fully carry your own happiness.
It’s been two years since it was launched on Steam in early access, and its still lacking basic content that Arma 3 had on its launch date. Two of the major criticisms I have seen are the performance (BI hyped up the new engine technology, and yet for many players it struggles to get acceptable frame rate just like A3), and the lack of content. The community gives BI a lot of slack since the title was supposed to be the “test bed for A4” and a spinoff, but the development struggles have made me skeptical that they will be any different than other AAA companies who fail to deliver the expectations they set.
Not to mention, two years to implement AI taking cover? If this is a sign for how long the development cycle is for such a mechanic, I do not have a good feeling about A4’s AI.
The state of reforger rn feels exactly like Arma 3 felt like in 2014-15-16. Tons of content coming out, servers are filled to the brim and getting onto one will take you like 20 minutes. People are just having plain fun, no toxicity what so ever. It's just great to see the community back like this. This is the exact reason why Arma is truly my favorite game, it's not about the game but the friends and memories you make with it.
I cant say no toxicity lol but Reforger is top notch. TKers are still a big problem though, often seems like kids who bought the title expecting something simple then they just freak out when its too complicated. Its what games like Squad advertise as being plus way more.
3:00 That's what games like Dragon's Dogma 2 could have been & felt like mini Lord of the Ring quests, meeting new people & forming new relationships. Games made today almost expect people to have a community or 4+ friends who all game at the exact same time. Very cool finally seeing more people gravitating towards these sorts of games.
We need a levelcap video where he joins a modded RP operation in Arma, So he can try the true arma experience of grown adults in their basement pretending to be stormtroopers for 6 hour sessions
Just started playing Reforger last week after years away forma ARMA... and I felt in love again with the series. Its ALL the same as the original OFP, but better, modernized, fresh and Fun. Im loving It, even withiout mods. ARMA 4 Will be great
It's cool to see you get the hang on the basics. Conflict has a lot going on and it's easy to get lost in the details. Some basics to keep in mind: The purple marked bases on the map are win points. Get 5 and you start the countdown. 5 minutes to hold, but you also only need to start a capture to break the timer. Radio coverage wins or breaks games. If you have solid logistics and are capping bases and putting up towers you can blitz into the map, if you don't put up towers you don't gain spawns, you lose Intel, and you can't cap further in. Likewise having backup towers on different points helps keep coverage if you lose signal. Supply points are all over the map (little green boxes on the map) you can also find hidden stashes, and veteran players will have sources they might share with you... If you ask. always drive with supply if you can. It costs 275 to put up a tower, and most of the time you can float that with a loaded (covered) UAZ with Humvees holding up to 300. Rank gives you access to more cool stuff like AI tents, command trucks(spawn point), and helis. Bigger structures hold more supply. Bases max at 500 with nothing, but can hold way more with just med tent or Vic yard. As a defender try to minimize your cost by using default kit. Build up logical defenses that give you cover so you don't get camped. Most structures including bunkers have spawns, but often have little cover. Spread out bunkers and your radio to lower your chance of getting camped, and put up big netting to break line of sight or use it to give some concealment to your armoury.
I think there are shorter gamemodes in the vanilla game but the other half of Arma is the mods and milsim units, doing pve or pvp or pvpve OPs is a lot of fun
I used to watch your bf3 videos when I was young. You showed me a lot of the techniques I still use today. Like never shooting from the same spot twice rather hit em left then right. Still works today.
Join up on a modern combat mod server with mods like "the bacon loadout editor". Really makes getting (and staying kitted) way easier between respawns and matches on the same server. Plus, the modern combat mod additions add loads of new factions, vehicles, and weapons to choose from. MY favorite thing to do right now is loading up the truck of a truck with extra RPG rounds and land mines, then finding a nice road between active objectives to setup ambushes to slow enemy reinforcements. Reforger is a nice mix between the combat of Squad while applying the down time and immersion of something like DayZ. Getting stranded out in the wilderness with the boys, while sometimes frustrating, can still be loads of fun. Wondering what's over the next knoll or hedgerow as you slowly wander towards gunfire just adds to the experience. P.S. stealing an enemy radio and setting up an ambush while "calling in for help cause my jeep crashed" is so damn fun
The way the spawn system works in reforger gives it OG dayZ mod vibes. Dont fancy running for 20 minutes again? maybe dont take that engagement, or at least plan it out. I love the fear of life feeling that this game brings.
To be honest the game mode sounds more so like PlanetSide 2 so that sounds interesting. Also after watching this video I feel this would be a perfect replacement for me Insurgency Sandstorm after the whole Embracer debacle
Broo you gotta get it, I like insurgency too but this is levels ahead in realism imo, there's a modded server called darkgru and they mod in all types of different real world conflicts plenty of movie scene moments even for the most relaxed or docile player. Me and my boy wonkyaim who I randomly met in a field went to take over an objective we killed 8 players together and as we're celebrating mid sentence as he's saying bro we did it I can't believe it bragging on the radio to the platoon that we two man capped a heavy contested point he gets shot in the face by a Russian we only knocked out because his armor caught the bullets 😂😂😂 rip wonkyaim I watched my boy die in front of me
Every is losing it over GZW, but to anyone thinking of playing that, just play Arma Reforger. Its honestly so much better. Its not quite the tarkov-esque experience, with traders and quests, but playing a conflict server, getting a helo pickup into the obj, its pretty similar. Ive had more fun on reforger than ive had on squad or HLL, something about banding together with 6 dudes, raiding towns for weapons and gear to take on the obj, convoying and land navigation, it's just fun as hell.
I found a primarily PvE group to play with that has been awesome in Reforger! It gives me that op realism (to an extent) while still having a casual fix. Our ops can last anywhere between an hour to 4 hours some nights depending on how big our GM’s want to make the experience.
Watching this just gave me flash backs to Operation Flashpoint back in the day. So nostalgic watching everything visually just updated from that original game.
arma needs to have a war mode similar to how foxhole works, so the war itself goes for a week or two and whoever controls the most of the map at the end of that week wins. that seems super logical to me.
Ive honestly been so excited for an arma game on console been wanting to play one since i was a child. It works well and its alot of fun since the new update. Got it again a few days ago and ive already spent 20 hours on it. 6 hour games are mwah
Love the mods for this game it has gotten way better over time like the vietnam 67 and dark gru ukrainian servers are so fun also good chill fam pve servers as well
I would've played ARMA 3 more if it had decent controller support. I know you can bind a controller but the UI is not friendly for it what so ever. Reforger feels great on controller.
I haven't played ARMA in years.. still have it installed and over 1,600 hours in the game.. I loved KOTH. So much fun. Been happy with Hell Let Loose and SQUAD but.. I still miss ARMA in some ways.. I've been keeping an eye on Reforger and it's looked appealing.
I'm also a big fan of koth. And the reforger version of koth is definitely worth checking out. it's constantly improving and it's a decent amount of fun.
What makes Reforger so good compared to previous ARMA games is the fact that gunplay is actually good unlike anything before ARMA 3 where gunplay was clunky as fuck.
Bought into it last week. First mil-sim. On Xbox X and I get 30fps on high and 60fps on low. It’s a big learning curve coming from years of BF/COD. Not really a game suitable for a solo gaming style. But I am a noob so maybe I’ll get the hang of it.
I think once you commit to talking in game and engaging with people , these type of games really start to click- if your like me and just quietly play without speaking it’s not quite as immersive/fun
Not comparing the Two but this is why I absolutely LOVE playing Enlisted. Felt more mil-sim than it’s contemporary and gave me more BF feelings that BF has in recent years.
Reforger def brought me back to ARMA after eons away from it. I eventually couldn't care for all the jank in playing ARMA 3 that I left it behind years ago. Reforger did a brilliant job of streamlining so much but still leaving the massive map, details, etc. of ARMA!
Just started playing a few days ago and absolutely loving it! Great game wirh friends. You can actually play and work together, not like Battlefield where everyone is running around solo rushing into enemies after 10 minutes
I tried it out for a bit and really love the upgrades from ArmA 3. But I'm more of a singleplayer person, so I'm just waiting for ArmA 4. If that is just Reforger with bigger maps and an interesting story campaign, I'll be happy!
Honestly, ArmA is not even about the specific game mode you are playing. ArmA 4 (which Reforger is like a stepping stone to test the engine for that one) has to be a good sandbox, if you like more battlefield like experiences or even deathmatch type gamemodes you'll should be able to get that, but for me is all about the long campaign style game modes with progression, like Antistasi, where you spends weeks playing to conquer an entire map with your friends.
same, the only reason I havent gotten reforger is because antistasi devs said that they refuse to work on reforger cuz arma 4 is going to come soon enough that it doesnt make sense for them to work in reforger, I understand but also pain, I would love antistasi in reforger
I hope Arma Reforger can be the next generation's Arma 2, meaning there will be something similar to "Arrowhead" where it actually unleashed it's full potential.
Revisit the game and play with us on W.C.S! (I'm not affiliated with them but I really enjoy playing on their #5 and #7 servers) JoDiirt is ingame for anyone that plays on it :) Also, You mentioned weapon mechanics being a slight pain, that's because you weren't managing your stamina me boy! Mousewheel controls your walkspeed like Star Citizen. I like to mousewheel down 3 times to keep my stamina when I'm walking between points. It sets you at a walk speed with some hustle to it lol. But that way whenever you get shot at, just crouch and you'll have super accurate fire 100% of the time.
It already is on this engine But not the entire game is... and i think it's on a bit older version compared to Reforger Reforger is first game ever that's ENTIRELY on Enfusion engine DayZ is some weird frankenstein hybrid it's a bit complicated But it's sort of is on the same engine
Stole a US radio and met a guy who stole our russian radio, become friends over the course of the match but eventually he died and I lost comtact with him. You will be missed you yankee o7
not only that ,console players can play moded servers also,they put mod downloader in game ,so if you want to join moded server its gona download for you ,its really great ,im happy that console players can play this gem of game ,there is already bunch of private servers with diffrent stuffs to do
I played a lot of arma 2 and arma 3. love those games. havent played reforger yet. was waiting for arma 4 but maybe ill play this while waiting for star citizen
Not sure if you came up with the phrase "quality downtime" yourself or not, but it perfectly describes a component in competitive first person games that I enjoy (that very few games have; perhaps only milsim games). Definitely stealing that phrase, thanks.
This game is amazing, has its problems but I can’t help but love it. It’s the game I’ve been looking for and the mods make it have way more to do both base and modded is great
Arma Reforger is so unique i would appreciate it NOT being compared to other "milsims." Anyways, love your content levelcap, im glad reforger is finally getting the coverage it deserves.
This is my first Arma game, Im comming from squad/hll/pr and prev. from bf series and let me tell you - Im completly in love with this game. Super hyped for Arma 4.
I’m just waiting for a PS5 release😭🙏🏼 PS5 needs this type of game. I lost interest in both COD and Battlefield and even starting to lose Planet side 2 console edition.. Would love Arma Reforger to drop for the PS5 as well
Reforger is what every modern FPS title wants to be put it actually pulls it off. Once you play Reforger trying to go back to Squad is complete pain. It makes you realize why Squads always such a disorganized mess of CQC players indefinitely blaming new players for the lack of cohesion. Armas always made it clear that if you want serious gameplay you need serious unforgiving mechanics. Not infinite spawns, un-killable incaps, straight line push game modes, and hand holding communication mechanics. Reforger doesnt just suggest you play as a team, it leaves you basically helpless if you dont. Squad is ironically too focused on the squad comm mechanics where teamplay means being a selfish squad. Theres no real cohesion between squads and theyre all constantly blaming eachother for failures.
Are you ever gonna review VR games like Onward? Communication-wise as well as gun-mechanic wise, especially if you use a Glistco stock, it's the most realistic milsim I've played
I pledged to it since launch fot the good times i had with operation flashpoint, but never got the hook again, its still as clunky, but when it came out proper ballistics was super engaging long range shooting was matter of controlled bursts and leading. Today i dont feel its as advanced as the first title. You still get godzilla strenght fences and things like that destoy immersion for me. Do like non tracers assault rifles shots. Thx for the heads up.
The last good milsim coop game I ever played and had fun with was Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising. I miss a more traditionally designed coop campaign
I think they are finally making the engine that would have made dayz 2.0 really amazing, there will eventually be servers with base building and a more "mmo" experience or walking simulator if you prefer , ill pick it up then for sure , but chances are thats a year or two off
Well, I've played all the Armas, especially Arma 3. I keep thinking of getting this, but then draw back at the last minute. Why? I have a limited budget, and Arma 4 will be coming in the not too distant future. A very persuasive video, though.
Based on what information you think that Arma 4 is gonna be out soon? I mean… some youtubers said that, but when you go through all info from BI directly, then no real info really indicates that. It is just viral disinformation based on no data.
@@Skywalger Oh, I won't disagree with you too much there. My statement that Arma 4 WILL be coming out in the not too distant was a bit too positive, and based on SOME evidence and SOME wishful thinking. I neglected to say that I'm an editor nut (Eden more than Zeus), and haven't seen evidence for a really comprehensive and satisfying one in Reforger. A little less crap going on with work right now and I might treat myself to this anyway.
U should try modded reforger, for example serhivka conflict, they have cobras with rockets and modern guns, a lot of fun to make an ambush on a road exiting enemies base
Are there PvE mods with a manageable (under 1 hour) missions or some sort of a more of open-ended experience? I don't have 5 hours to play continuously, but I really love the game.
@MrFpsdestroyer Sony won't offer any game until it's complete. Reforger is still being forged. It's also why they don't offer experimental, when Xbox does. Greedy mofos.
@@zvosburg0991 well I kind of see why they don't because it can be a big headache dealing with all that, but Xbox mainly gets it because its Microsoft and they are mainly a computer business so that makes sense, yes is sony being greedy yeah probably, but with all the crap going on with games right now its not surprising, but hey maybe one day it will lol
@@zvosburg0991 The game left early access a while back, Developers originally said it would come to PS5 shortly after the early access period but have since gone quiet about it. It will likely still happen sometime this year imo
I get that arma 4 will be based on back in time and currently arma reforger is based on cold war era .. heres a problem , console players even controller players period do not have the privilege of being able to play titles like arma 2 and 3 without having to try creating a controller preset/s 🤔 that often do not work for to long either or even at all , which is why I pitched to bohemia to pass along to suit and tie guys of bohemia and Arma franchise , to turn Arma Reforger into a base game 🎮 for both pc and xbox and even playstation at somepoint , by adding 3 or 4 DLC from Arma 3 to reforger so that console players can also play some modern content from Arma 😊 even though we have mods everyone knows that mods arent always as reliable sadly but being able to play a few actual storyline campaigns on console would be appreciated by so many people that play on xbox , most of the content is already created in arma 3 , its not that hard to put in the reforger controller layout for a few of the dlc (that could be purchased in microsoft store on xbox) and also allows us a few extra factions, weapons and such and Arma Reforger could be released as a full title that offers a mix of cold war and modern content 😊 I really wish bohemia would start being more kind to us console and controller players we DESERVE (STRONGLY) to enjoy modern based Arma content and campaigns to especially when its already created and apart of Arma 3 currently
At first I thought this said “This Game Made Me Like Muslims” lol. Almost sounds like an intro to a Level With Me podcast episode

Same here, laughed more than I should have😅

The 2-6 hour long matches are why I'm working on my Seize & Secure game mode - which tightens up the action and reduces stalemating. We play on Sundays if you want to check it out!
Nice! Refirger could use just a little more linearity
I like those matches for sat-Sunday but evenings after work I'd prefer that
No thanks, 2-6 hour matches are fun and leisurely
Play modded server
Yeah look that’s the whole point of reforgers Conflict
When you were turning on the interior light.While the guy was driving he looked over at you like REALLY? DUDE??

That's illegal

Reforger when the day goes into night and full pitch black are insane. The lighting with vehicles, bullets etc are stunning in Reforger.
When reforger works, it works beautifully but servers and lag is a big issue
💯. It’s a beautiful environment to play in. When it’s good it’s amazing! But lag can be a real killer.
Bohemia Interactive is like a single, loving working parent who cannot give us the life we wanted as kids, but does his best to bring a bit of joy and love into our lives through Arma Reforger.

I'm so happy people are finally giving this game the love it deserves. Def jank, but it's FUN and that's what matters.

The purple marked bases on the map are win points. Get 5 and you start the countdown. 5 minutes to hold, but you also only need to start a capture to break the timer.

arma needs to have a war mode similar to how foxhole works, so the war itself goes for a week or two and whoever controls the most of the map at the end of that week wins. that seems super logical to me.
They could do that by using antistasi’s objective system.
Didn't play Reforger yet, but after joining an Arma 3 community/clan, Squad feels like Battlefield to me haha.

ArmA 3 has some of the best lighting I’ve ever seen, so it’s no surprise that the lighting is great on this too.
What makes Reforger so good compared to previous ARMA games is the fact that gunplay is actually good unlike anything before ARMA 3 where gunplay was clunky as fuck.
Bought into it last week. First mil-sim. On Xbox X and I get 30fps on high and 60fps on low. It’s a big learning curve coming from years of BF/COD. Not really a game suitable for a solo gaming style. But I am a noob so maybe I’ll get the hang of it.
That gives me some hope to try it out
I think once you commit to talking in game and engaging with people , these type of games really start to click- if your like me and just quietly play without speaking it’s not quite as immersive/fun
I love the long matches it’s different and is an awesome experience in my opinion.
Not comparing the Two but this is why I absolutely LOVE playing Enlisted. Felt more mil-sim than it’s contemporary and gave me more BF feelings that BF has in recent years.
Reforger def brought me back to ARMA after eons away from it. I eventually couldn't care for all the jank in playing ARMA 3 that I left it behind years ago. Reforger did a brilliant job of streamlining so much but still leaving the massive map, details, etc. of ARMA!
Just started playing a few days ago and absolutely loving it! Great game wirh friends. You can actually play and work together, not like Battlefield where everyone is running around solo rushing into enemies after 10 minutes
I tried it out for a bit and really love the upgrades from ArmA 3. But I'm more of a singleplayer person, so I'm just waiting for ArmA 4. If that is just Reforger with bigger maps and an interesting story campaign, I'll be happy!
Runs so much better than Arma 3, looks better, better controls, better everything.
Honestly, ArmA is not even about the specific game mode you are playing. ArmA 4 (which Reforger is like a stepping stone to test the engine for that one) has to be a good sandbox, if you like more battlefield like experiences or even deathmatch type gamemodes you'll should be able to get that, but for me is all about the long campaign style game modes with progression, like Antistasi, where you spends weeks playing to conquer an entire map with your friends.
same, the only reason I havent gotten reforger is because antistasi devs said that they refuse to work on reforger cuz arma 4 is going to come soon enough that it doesnt make sense for them to work in reforger, I understand but also pain, I would love antistasi in reforger
to follow up, there is an alpha version of Overthrow in reforger but I want antistasi
I hope Arma Reforger can be the next generation's Arma 2, meaning there will be something similar to "Arrowhead" where it actually unleashed it's full potential.
Revisit the game and play with us on W.C.S! (I'm not affiliated with them but I really enjoy playing on their #5 and #7 servers) JoDiirt is ingame for anyone that plays on it :)
Also, You mentioned weapon mechanics being a slight pain, that's because you weren't managing your stamina me boy! Mousewheel controls your walkspeed like Star Citizen.
I like to mousewheel down 3 times to keep my stamina when I'm walking between points. It sets you at a walk speed with some hustle to it lol. But that way whenever you get shot at, just crouch and you'll have super accurate fire 100% of the time.
I just want a new Dayz game on this engine so badly...
It already is on this engine
But not the entire game is... and i think it's on a bit older version compared to Reforger
Reforger is first game ever that's ENTIRELY on Enfusion engine
DayZ is some weird frankenstein hybrid it's a bit complicated
But it's sort of is on the same engine
I love this game just wish they’d improve the servers 😭😭😭
Level you need to try the modern WCS conflict realism servers , Great mods that bring modern warfare , trenchs , helis and more cool shit.
nice stoned baron is a great guy should ask him for help if you run into him
Stole a US radio and met a guy who stole our russian radio, become friends over the course of the match but eventually he died and I lost comtact with him. You will be missed you yankee o7
not only that ,console players can play moded servers also,they put mod downloader in game ,so if you want to join moded server its gona download for you ,its really great ,im happy that console players can play this gem of game ,there is already bunch of private servers with diffrent stuffs to do
You mentioned console and I just wanted to say that if you turn your settings to low on a series X, you can run at 60fps consistently
I played a lot of arma 2 and arma 3. love those games. havent played reforger yet. was waiting for arma 4 but maybe ill play this while waiting for star citizen
the way you said it about this game is spot on i agree with you 100%
Not sure if you came up with the phrase "quality downtime" yourself or not, but it perfectly describes a component in competitive first person games that I enjoy (that very few games have; perhaps only milsim games). Definitely stealing that phrase, thanks.
Aka bowl packing time
This game is amazing, has its problems but I can’t help but love it. It’s the game I’ve been looking for and the mods make it have way more to do both base and modded is great
Arma Reforger is so unique i would appreciate it NOT being compared to other "milsims."
Anyways, love your content levelcap, im glad reforger is finally getting the coverage it deserves.
I too have been playing this week for the first tkme since launch; its pretty fun, and pretty buggy.
Nice seeing this hit its stride after a tough start.
Just like the old Wasteland mod from ARMA 2.
We need a full-blown Battle Royale made in this
squad pvp and immersion is just so good i have a hard time enjoying anything else
This is my first Arma game, Im comming from squad/hll/pr and prev. from bf series and let me tell you - Im completly in love with this game. Super hyped for Arma 4.
totally didn't read "milsims" as "muslims"
🤣 Same! 🤣
I’m just waiting for a PS5 release😭🙏🏼 PS5 needs this type of game. I lost interest in both COD and Battlefield and even starting to lose Planet side 2 console edition..
Would love Arma Reforger to drop for the PS5 as well
Probably will eventually.
Blame Sony to not allow mods, so no arma reforger for now.
Reforger is what every modern FPS title wants to be put it actually pulls it off. Once you play Reforger trying to go back to Squad is complete pain. It makes you realize why Squads always such a disorganized mess of CQC players indefinitely blaming new players for the lack of cohesion. Armas always made it clear that if you want serious gameplay you need serious unforgiving mechanics. Not infinite spawns, un-killable incaps, straight line push game modes, and hand holding communication mechanics. Reforger doesnt just suggest you play as a team, it leaves you basically helpless if you dont. Squad is ironically too focused on the squad comm mechanics where teamplay means being a selfish squad. Theres no real cohesion between squads and theyre all constantly blaming eachother for failures.
Are you ever gonna review VR games like Onward? Communication-wise as well as gun-mechanic wise, especially if you use a Glistco stock, it's the most realistic milsim I've played
Currently watching this while downloading 4 hours worth of mods
I pledged to it since launch fot the good times i had with operation flashpoint, but never got the hook again, its still as clunky, but when it came out proper ballistics was super engaging long range shooting was matter of controlled bursts and leading. Today i dont feel its as advanced as the first title. You still get godzilla strenght fences and things like that destoy immersion for me. Do like non tracers assault rifles shots. Thx for the heads up.
100 FPS in ArmA Game? It's like 4 times what I'm used to. :)
Arma Reforger, DayZ and Star Citizen are my perfect trifecta of games.
The last good milsim coop game I ever played and had fun with was Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising.
I miss a more traditionally designed coop campaign
It was fun for a console player. It just was ahead of it's time. It needed more moddable ability for the console and more dlc. As it got repetitive.
I think they are finally making the engine that would have made dayz 2.0 really amazing, there will eventually be servers with base building and a more "mmo" experience or walking simulator if you prefer , ill pick it up then for sure , but chances are thats a year or two off
Definitely a game I'm watching, but I already play too many early access games
I'll definitely give it a go if the DAYZ2 mod gets a bit further tho
If i only found some enemys to get me shot. I struggle to find a ongoing fight
love arma.Pls play six days in Fallujah!
Well, I've played all the Armas, especially Arma 3. I keep thinking of getting this, but then draw back at the last minute. Why? I have a limited budget, and Arma 4 will be coming in the not too distant future. A very persuasive video, though.
Based on what information you think that Arma 4 is gonna be out soon? I mean… some youtubers said that, but when you go through all info from BI directly, then no real info really indicates that. It is just viral disinformation based on no data.
@@Skywalger Oh, I won't disagree with you too much there. My statement that Arma 4 WILL be coming out in the not too distant was a bit too positive, and based on SOME evidence and SOME wishful thinking. I neglected to say that I'm an editor nut (Eden more than Zeus), and haven't seen evidence for a really comprehensive and satisfying one in Reforger. A little less crap going on with work right now and I might treat myself to this anyway.
Now you need to play the modded servers
The modded Vietnam servers are my favorite on this game
Can you fly the helicopters, too?
Yes and a10 the modded servers are amazing
You need the improved sounds mod.
Also play King Of The Hill for much more action gameplay and vastly shorter rounds.
Bohemia did a great job with the sound design while the sound mods are utter dog shite. Louder doesn’t mean better
to me, this game is the true successor to cold war crisis
ive been on everon so much i knew where most of the intro was recorded
U should try modded reforger, for example serhivka conflict, they have cobras with rockets and modern guns, a lot of fun to make an ambush on a road exiting enemies base
Dayz mod is so fire, even on console ❤
frankieonpc1080p would love this
Are there PvE mods with a manageable (under 1 hour) missions or some sort of a more of open-ended experience? I don't have 5 hours to play continuously, but I really love the game.
I want this on PS5 so bad.
Well I'm glad I found youre comment, because he said its on pc and console, so I thought it would be on ps5, but guess not
@MrFpsdestroyer Sony won't offer any game until it's complete. Reforger is still being forged. It's also why they don't offer experimental, when Xbox does. Greedy mofos.
@@zvosburg0991 well I kind of see why they don't because it can be a big headache dealing with all that, but Xbox mainly gets it because its Microsoft and they are mainly a computer business so that makes sense, yes is sony being greedy yeah probably, but with all the crap going on with games right now its not surprising, but hey maybe one day it will lol
@@MrFpsdestroyer One day.
@@zvosburg0991 The game left early access a while back, Developers originally said it would come to PS5 shortly after the early access period but have since gone quiet about it. It will likely still happen sometime this year imo
I get that arma 4 will be based on back in time and currently arma reforger is based on cold war era
.. heres a problem , console players even controller players period do not have the privilege of being able to play titles like arma 2 and 3 without having to try creating a controller preset/s 🤔 that often do not work for to long either or even at all , which is why I pitched to bohemia to pass along to suit and tie guys of bohemia and Arma franchise , to turn Arma Reforger into a base game 🎮 for both pc and xbox and even playstation at somepoint , by adding 3 or 4 DLC from Arma 3 to reforger so that console players can also play some modern content from Arma 😊 even though we have mods everyone knows that mods arent always as reliable sadly but being able to play a few actual storyline campaigns on console would be appreciated by so many people that play on xbox , most of the content is already created in arma 3 , its not that hard to put in the reforger controller layout for a few of the dlc (that could be purchased in microsoft store on xbox) and also allows us a few extra factions, weapons and such and Arma Reforger could be released as a full title that offers a mix of cold war and modern content 😊 I really wish bohemia would start being more kind to us console and controller players we DESERVE (STRONGLY) to enjoy modern based Arma content and campaigns to especially when its already created and apart of Arma 3 currently
Try a King of the Hill server for more action, or a popular one rn is W.C.S Eastern Europe conflict. Loads of fun
Loving reforge at the moment also try king of the hill awesome stuff
I need a PvE mode to mess around in, there's nothing on console when you wanna play something like this.
