Last night a match went from 11:30pm to 4am and we won. I grouped up with 4 other newbies and we all just tried our best to figure things out. Helping each other as we figured out new stuff. We tried to be professional and tactical and when it paid off we were all rooting for each other. Firefights were an insane experience. It was the best darn 4 and a half hours I've had in a game for a long long time. Cross-platform between consoles, PC etc is a game changer. 11/10 absolutely reccomend
@@SurveyingStudy 100% I got it two days ago and had similar experiences with other players, me and 2 other guys being led by someone who was more experienced.
Being able to see yourself on the map will immediately kill teamplay and tactics. No one will use roads and everyone will go ahead and spawncamp. Not being able to see yourself on the map is the best thing happened to arna. Only reason why 5 strangers get into a car and play together is because they can't go by themselves and go lone wolf. English is not my lfirst language I don't know how to explain but this simple thing adds so much I whish people didn't pressure devs to turn this game into larger Squad
There's a reason why milsim games are primarily marketed towards PC, it's because consoles simply do not have the controls, performance, and utility to actually have any decent use in milsim games.
Military experience where the veterans show the newbies what to do and this creates an amazing experience for both, you can see everyone having fun, role-playing as real soldiers... I love it, and I have more than 200 hours in
it’s laggy for me on most servers. i’ll be fine then it’ll freeze then im flying through the air when it loads in, or sometimes it’ll desync completely and i’ll go flying through the air only to rubber band onto the road like nothing happened 😂
@@utrashongod501dude I play a lot of dayz I only want to get this game because I have a feeling it’s like squad combined with dayz like does it feel like dayz? If so I might get it
I got this game a week ago for ps5. I've played day z since it released on ps4 and I have been watching arma videos since 2011. I've always played on Playstation so Arma Reforger on ps5 is my dream come true! ❤
@@sjsj-rippa yeah but that’s just the nature of dayz. I’m talking mechanically wise. Arma’s controls on console are a bit more complex than DayZ. If they were to merge Arma’s mechanics into dayz it would be kinda cool to see.
i'm new to tactical shooter genre, having a hard time which games to buy and finally Arma Reforger is my decision. first time playing, i'm so confused. playing combat ops alone, spending literally hours just wandering around being lost and first contact with enemy happen, 2 shots and i'm a dead man. the frustation and confusion is real on this game. but then i finally confident enough to play multiplayer. Still going as a lone wolf until i meet 4 ally trying to clearing a farm site and i've decided to join the fight. we managed to cleared the area and we've decided to stick together finishing nearby objective and clearing area to area, town to town. i'm telling you, this is the best gaming experience in my whole life. everytime i play and meet new people's, a new story begin. it's just flow beautifully and tactically. wonderful game for sure.💯
I find it amazing that such a base level game is getting such attention. Some games pile up content and it all feels flat, AR doesnt feel like that and i really cant wait to see where they take the game. I am getting BF2 nostalgia vibes
I've been playing nothing but the tutorial missions on PS5, for maybe 5 hours and I've had a lot of fun doing it, along with some frustration. Still learning how to navigate, and learning the various combinations of buttons. Even though it's hard for me, I'm looking forward to finally playing on multi-player soon
Low key, if you join a zeus/liberation server you'll learn faster. Its like a co-op game and peeps will explain stuff to you if you ask and will teach you how to use the map if the server doesn't have markers on.
I just got wifi in October. Was super excited for the release of stalker 2 but I’ll be honest I haven’t touched stalker 2 because I’m genuinely addicted to arma reforger and it’s modded content.
Dude I just started playing reforger a few days ago. Its so cinematic. I had a group of like 15-20 guys going to an objective and it was so cool. Then there was nobody at the objective. About 30 seconds after we show up at the objective our whole squad just gets lit up and we all died.
As a lifelong Arma enjoyer Reforger is quickly working its way to the top title in the series, we are only really missing a handful of features/mechanics(mostly things like being able to shoot from the passenger seats of vehicles/helis, or some of the advanced stance stuff from Arma 3 are what I'm particularly talking about) Other than that the game has the best performance of any title and the animations really do feel extremely cinematic at times yeah we dont have alot of the single player features, but reforger really does feel like a multiplayer based installment in the series anyway and I suspect alot of that will change in the coming year
just got this yesterday for ps5 struggling a bit working map out and what im meant to be doing but still had a blast and a crazy helicopter ride and a epic check point fight on a road block
Was thinking about getting it, but I heard they raised the base price before the winter “sale” on steam. I understand if a game gets a massive overhaul or update so they increase the price but I don’t feel the same about this
Great video! …as always! 😉 9:35 100% agree that this map marker system is still a problem, however, it’s hugely exacerbated by the poor “squad” management setup. The fact that every player can be in their own “squad”. This is the bigger problem to solve IMHO. I think an improvement would be that a “squad leader” should be able to see themselves AND other squad leaders, but squad members should only be able to see their squad leader and no one else. To make this work, squads would need to be limited to 1 for every 6-8 players slots available for the team (e.g. 4 squads for 32 players). So many times I see loads of squads most of which will only have 1 or 2 players. It’s a joke and doesn’t make sense
PS5 here. The game concept is fantastic but it just lacks the smooth quality that Battlefiled has. I love the game but wish i could mix the Battlefield character movement with everything that Arma offers.
ARMA character movement is like a game from 20 yers ago unfortunately. Just make it smooth somehow. It is a jerky experience. We loose fights because of the jerky character movement. At least on the PS5 for sure. I am not talking about make it faster or arcady, make it smooth and controllable precisely. By the way i think i would enjoy a game with Battlefield movement and map size and complexity of ARMA.
Been playing since May 2022, it had a rough start but honestly that was what I expected since I've been playing since early ArmA 2 and the launch of ArmA 3 was similar to Reforger. But they did definitely say that Reforger start would not be a smooth ride and it was only a test game. And looking at the place the game is now, with more content and more to come than was intended with this game, I can see this becoming sort of a ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead, just if it released before ArmA 2.
Been thinking about buying this game on PS5 the last few days so I have been watching dozens of videos trying to get a consensus on how people feel about this game. In another video they showed a Tweet where SONY had officially given the ok for MODs. From the videos I’ve watched the modded servers seem to be where people have the most fun so it gives me hope for the future of this game on the PS5
I got it on my ps5 and flew with some crazy ass good pilot so I tried to get good with them, that's all I really like to do now is just flying people around, but I'm just doing ground game I wish there were more vehicles, the fact the russia has an apc and us doesn't seems unfair, tanks would be cool to
If your seeing this comment and are debating buying Arma reforged DO IT. I bought this game being very skeptical about the reviews wondering if I would refund it. As soon as I joined the most popular server i had a blast. There is so much to do in this game and it's even more fun being able to do all this whilst in the midst of a war alongside other players. From flying in helicopters to ambushing enemy bases this game is a blast. Just make sure to find the right people
@@chaseharris7865 I have the right people lol I play arma 3, squad, this game is just visually nice but a downgrade when it comes to menu it feels like a console game when playing on pc and am not talking about graphics or gameplay but it feels like it was designed for controllers and feels wonky on keyboard mouse
I haven’t played any cod or battlefield game since this dropped on Xbox finally something that I can play and communicate with other players and play strategic
U have any advice of gaming pc’s that are pre build and ruk this game on high settings + good fps? Even mid range setting would be nice! Anyone advice? ( i love this game man )
I hope that BI will include some new weapons, even if with some poetic license, for example KS 23, Remington 870, Wz 61 Skorpion etc. there are too few of them in the game for current games. Also the clothing of the soldiers, for example, specnaz berets and green berets, bandanas and crossed 7.62 cartridge belt. And above all I hope that the destructibility of buildings will improve, the current one is like Arma 3 which leaves much to be desired.
I know the potential of this game but im really struggling to find servers where there is teamwork. Most of the time no one talks and everyone just seems to do their own thing.
@@EternalExposureMedia Pretty sure most if not all of the UI will be customizable or able to hide it. The Experimental Build UI Is far superior in my opinion to that of the stable branch.
Is this game like hell let loose? I unistalled it because it was soo slow playing, i spent most of the time then ding getting killed after spending years getting somewhere, in 1 hour i am licky to get into 1 good fire fight. Is this game better?
lets just hope they use all that netflix-machine money to actually make a decent Arma 4 by 2030, and let's hope they dont focus on dumbing things down for the consoles like they have been.
@danasydnor5366 naw those are different devs/publishers, Arma was not originally on console. The series began as a PC-exclusive franchise. The first game, Arma: Armed Assault (later known as Arma: Combat Operations in the U.S.), was released in 2006 for Windows.
@@jerry6368 Arma came from flashpoint. Same Devs. There was a dispute and messy separation between Devs and code masters, code masters kept the name "operation flashpoint", Devs made the sequel and the name became arma. Armas origin is operation flashpoint, same Devs and arma first game was meant to be flashpoint 2 but they lost the rights to the name
I have a 4090+7800x3d+64gb ram and honestly the performance is not good. If I'm completely honest what you're describing is actually you roleplaying in this game, whether you recognise that or not. There is no narrative in this game. To some degree this was like listening to a nature documentary when the narrator puts a human story on the animals and what they feel, when in actuality the animals do things because they do.
The game seems great I did some of the tutorial but playing with friends is a nightmare as far as I can make out. If someone can tell me where and how to do it I’d be grateful
I bought it on Xbox series S before ps5 and it’s viable but your performance is gonna suffer hard. You can’t use scopes cause your frames will cut in half and you have to avoid heavily modded servers or high pop servers cause you’re gonna have bad lag and disconnecting. I still suffered through cause I really liked the game but after playing the ps5 version idk how I put up with it. If you really want the experience then go for it but I recommend waiting till you can upgrade. I hope this helped ❤
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer me, I think I will wait a little before buying the game to see how it develops on Xbox Series S. Thanks again for your response 😁
First game in and I hoped in a helicopter full of friendlys but seen last second that the tail tip was broken hopped out and watched and heard everyone screaming the helicopter spinning in circles until crashed everyone survived except two who jumped out durning spinning but the experience of hearing it was funny 😂
I was there during Arma3 alpha but I encounter more bugs in this game than Arma3 I also don't like floaty feeling of the game. I keep encountering bugs throughout the year so I keep installing and uninstalling, like toxic love and hate relationship.
Wanna run that again? Did you really just lie about the vehicles feeling smooth or good to drive? Dog, the vehicles are so bugged that one second you can be driving on a road, and the next you are barrel rolling into a tree due to the buggy ass physics
Releasing this to console was such a huge mistake. Now i have to listen to cod players opinions, and complaints, and RULES? why must i wear a bright fkn armband. Stupid hope A4 is PC exclusive.
Do not buy this game on PS you will be severely disappointed. On Xbox or PC then its brilliant Sony's backwards obbsession with not giving players the freedom for mods is just obscene. Arma relies on mods.
I mainly enjoy mil-sims for the slow pace and social aspect. If in the right squad its like being in a "bad Company" game. Its not about the enemies we kill, its about the friends we make along the way. I member back when arma 3 came out i was in a great squad, and one of the bois yelled "hostile hostile, danger close, danger close!." Everyone got in positions or dropped to the ground, he yelled out bearings and the Captain said "hostile rabbit bearing 215". We spent maybe an hour not encountering any enemies. One of my all time fav gaming moments of all time. Squad was also great at lunch before vehicles.
The game is simply bad on PC. The graphics range from "oh, nice" to "why??" For example, roads randomly turn into grass textures after just a few hundred meters. The performance? Oh man, even without AI, it feels as heavy as an intense AI match in Arma 3. The game seems so downgraded for consoles that it feels like PC players are stuck with the ugly side of the engine, just to ensure console players don’t feel disadvantaged with view distances or other visual features. I’m genuinely worried that Arma 4 might face the same problems.
Dude this game has 0 hands helping you to understand wtf is going on, even in the tutorial. Where tf am i even on the map? And not everyone plays multiplayer, so could you possibly consider the single players in your verdict? Personally id change the title to the ok the bad and the wtaf dude
Even getting into gunfights with AI is no joke. They will take you out. It really rewards strategy and thinking ahead. I really like it but there is a learning curve but its worth learning.
Hasn’t been smooth for me. My top end (ish now a days) 4090 pc won’t run this game. Battle eye doesn’t like it. I use nothing dishonest. I like competitive gameplay and a chance to improve. Tried ps5 pro version. Horrid on controller. I game on my laptop at considerably lower graphics now. Servers also need work with the increase in traffic. Me and friends all have our own squads so we can see each other and direct each other ✌️
Yeah, I wanna like it but you can't even play it half the time you load it up because of bugs, mod bugs, server bugs, keybind bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs! Stupid!
people who come to the arma 3 / reforger universe as a new player, ruin the whole idea of the game, I bought a new arma a week ago and I had to return the game because when I got into the game everyone was running around like chickens no one was talking and leading the attack, there were cars all over the streets and people suddenly got in and left and left half the squad behind, it made no sense, arma 3 was important that the attack was led together with other squads and players played it seriously because that's how war simulators are, so I ask new players not to ruin this game.
for anyone saying consoles are underpowered and lack controls. consoles, controllers, and users are improving more and more. not everyone wants to game with m&kb
Great review! Anyone know why there are no official Capture and hold servers? Might not be for everyone but it's still something that is in the game and we paid for. Anyone know, if I go to scenario and press to join a C&H will it show up in multiplayer? Or is just offline for me? A bit confused. Help would be appreciated. I'm on PS5.
Just bought the PS5 Pro and having a major military game itch that needs scratched. Spent hours trying to find a good military game that sticks to what a military game should be and finally found this game. I’m about to load in now :)

tips for any new guys here. join a conflict server on multiplayer and tag along with whoever seems nice
Most of the time thats all you need to do in order to have a great experience
This game breaks the rules of so many other Milsim games and I love it! :D

Great video! …as always! 😉
9:35 100% agree that this map marker system is still a problem, however, it’s hugely exacerbated by the poor “squad” management setup. The fact that every player can be in their own “squad”.

I think an improvement would be that a “squad leader” should be able to see themselves AND other squad leaders, but squad members should only be able to see their squad leader and no one else. To make this work, squads would need to be limited to 1 for every 6-8 players slots available for the team (e.g. 4 squads for 32 players). So many times I see loads of squads most of which will only have 1 or 2 players. It’s a joke and doesn’t make sense

Is this game like hell let loose? I unistalled it because it was soo slow playing, i spent most of the time then ding getting killed after spending years getting somewhere, in 1 hour i am licky to get into 1 good fire fight. Is this game better?
lets just hope they use all that netflix-machine money to actually make a decent Arma 4 by 2030, and let's hope they dont focus on dumbing things down for the consoles like they have been.
Wasn't amra originally on console under the name operation flashpoint dragon rising and red river?
@danasydnor5366 naw those are different devs/publishers, Arma was not originally on console. The series began as a PC-exclusive franchise. The first game, Arma: Armed Assault (later known as Arma: Combat Operations in the U.S.), was released in 2006 for Windows.
@@jerry6368 Arma came from flashpoint. Same Devs. There was a dispute and messy separation between Devs and code masters, code masters kept the name "operation flashpoint", Devs made the sequel and the name became arma. Armas origin is operation flashpoint, same Devs and arma first game was meant to be flashpoint 2 but they lost the rights to the name
Exactly... especially the 48 player servers. Huge step down from arma3
I have a 4090+7800x3d+64gb ram and honestly the performance is not good.
If I'm completely honest what you're describing is actually you roleplaying in this game, whether you recognise that or not. There is no narrative in this game.
To some degree this was like listening to a nature documentary when the narrator puts a human story on the animals and what they feel, when in actuality the animals do things because they do.
Great overview! Super minor point, it's "Calvary Hill", not "Cavalry".
Interesting, I didn't realize there was a difference until you pointed it out
If only people actually played capture and hold
If it was in rotation in the Official Server menu it probably would
What a beautiful Christmas present. Thanks for the video
Merry Christmas!
The game seems great I did some of the tutorial but playing with friends is a nightmare as far as I can make out. If someone can tell me where and how to do it I’d be grateful
Just gotta pick a server and have em join that same server, pick the same team and make a squad or join the same squad
Thanks. It seems they didn’t make it easy 😂
Should I get it for pc or Ps5? I mainly play on PlayStation, not that often on pc and I enjoy platinum a game on ps5.
I wouldn't get it on PS5 until they add mods, but that depends on how good your PC is as well
Hello and thank you for the video!I'm on Xbox Series S and I'm very hesitant to buy it, is the game still good today? Thanks in advance !😊
I bought it on Xbox series S before ps5 and it’s viable but your performance is gonna suffer hard. You can’t use scopes cause your frames will cut in half and you have to avoid heavily modded servers or high pop servers cause you’re gonna have bad lag and disconnecting. I still suffered through cause I really liked the game but after playing the ps5 version idk how I put up with it. If you really want the experience then go for it but I recommend waiting till you can upgrade. I hope this helped ❤
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer me, I think I will wait a little before buying the game to see how it develops on Xbox Series S. Thanks again for your response 😁
It's only been getting better and better. Soon there will be mortars and helicopters with rockets, etc.
Thank you very much for your response! I'm really hesitant to buy it but I'm quite afraid of the performance on Xbox Series S
Merry Christmas, what a present. ❤🎉
Merry Christmas especially to you, good sir! ❤🎉
First game in and I hoped in a helicopter full of friendlys but seen last second that the tail tip was broken hopped out and watched and heard everyone screaming the helicopter spinning in circles until crashed everyone survived except two who jumped out durning spinning but the experience of hearing it was funny 😂
is this game worth it to buy for PS5 ? is it feasible to play FPS games on controller ?
Yes
Thanks dude for making such a video cause i had a problem with choosing if should i buy the game or not!
Glad I could help!
It's one of the only games that produces movie like moments on the regular.
Never played hell let loose
This is a server queue simulator
I like it it’s fun 🗿❤️
I was there during Arma3 alpha but I encounter more bugs in this game than Arma3 I also don't like floaty feeling of the game.
I keep encountering bugs throughout the year so I keep installing and uninstalling, like toxic love and hate relationship.
it's worth every penny
Especially when you pay with all pennies 😈
Wanna run that again? Did you really just lie about the vehicles feeling smooth or good to drive? Dog, the vehicles are so bugged that one second you can be driving on a road, and the next you are barrel rolling into a tree due to the buggy ass physics
Releasing this to console was such a huge mistake. Now i have to listen to cod players opinions, and complaints, and RULES? why must i wear a bright fkn armband. Stupid hope A4 is PC exclusive.
The bad, very bad- navigating :(
My only bad thing is ai see you at night.
Do not buy this game on PS you will be severely disappointed. On Xbox or PC then its brilliant Sony's backwards obbsession with not giving players the freedom for mods is just obscene. Arma relies on mods.
It sucks on xbox as well
if only the ranking system had a purpose. Im getting tired of everyone just using the supplies-_-
Hate it now, PS5 players didn’t communicate at all. Out of the 4 servers I tried maybe 3 people had mics.
PVP?
The queue sucks it takes longer to join servers now because there is 50 player queue which is dumb
I mainly enjoy mil-sims for the slow pace and social aspect. If in the right squad its like being in a "bad Company" game.
Its not about the enemies we kill, its about the friends we make along the way.
I member back when arma 3 came out i was in a great squad, and one of the bois yelled "hostile hostile, danger close, danger close!."
Everyone got in positions or dropped to the ground, he yelled out bearings and the Captain said "hostile rabbit bearing 215".
We spent maybe an hour not encountering any enemies. One of my all time fav gaming moments of all time.
Squad was also great at lunch before vehicles.
Squad the game that is.
For me it's very simple ... It's everything ive ever wanted battlefield to be 😂
The game is simply bad on PC. The graphics range from "oh, nice" to "why??" For example, roads randomly turn into grass textures after just a few hundred meters. The performance? Oh man, even without AI, it feels as heavy as an intense AI match in Arma 3. The game seems so downgraded for consoles that it feels like PC players are stuck with the ugly side of the engine, just to ensure console players don’t feel disadvantaged with view distances or other visual features. I’m genuinely worried that Arma 4 might face the same problems.
Dude this game has 0 hands helping you to understand wtf is going on, even in the tutorial. Where tf am i even on the map?
And not everyone plays multiplayer, so could you possibly consider the single players in your verdict?
Personally id change the title to the ok the bad and the wtaf dude
Like if ever wear ALICE and PASGT if you know you know 😄
Update this game after buying it is extremely hard you don't know were u are half the time just to real for no reason
Even getting into gunfights with AI is no joke. They will take you out. It really rewards strategy and thinking ahead. I really like it but there is a learning curve but its worth learning.
Hasn’t been smooth for me. My top end (ish now a days) 4090 pc won’t run this game. Battle eye doesn’t like it. I use nothing dishonest. I like competitive gameplay and a chance to improve. Tried ps5 pro version. Horrid on controller. I game on my laptop at considerably lower graphics now. Servers also need work with the increase in traffic. Me and friends all have our own squads so we can see each other and direct each other ✌️
Yeah, I wanna like it but you can't even play it half the time you load it up because of bugs, mod bugs, server bugs, keybind bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs! Stupid!
Because they added Playstation, I can't MOD a server that I PAID FOR. INSANELY STUPID. Get Playstation tf outta here.
This video is the reason i now own my first Arma Game! Thanks alot man!
Glad I could help! See you on the battlefield!
Navigating is a headache
people who come to the arma 3 / reforger universe as a new player, ruin the whole idea of the game, I bought a new arma a week ago and I had to return the game because when I got into the game everyone was running around like chickens no one was talking and leading the attack, there were cars all over the streets and people suddenly got in and left and left half the squad behind, it made no sense, arma 3 was important that the attack was led together with other squads and players played it seriously because that's how war simulators are, so I ask new players not to ruin this game.
for anyone saying consoles are underpowered and lack controls. consoles, controllers, and users are improving more and more. not everyone wants to game with m&kb
Great review!
Anyone know why there are no official Capture and hold servers? Might not be for everyone but it's still something that is in the game and we paid for.
Anyone know, if I go to scenario and press to join a C&H will it show up in multiplayer? Or is just offline for me?
A bit confused.
Help would be appreciated.
I'm on PS5.
Game looks outdated, without supporting new tech like DLSS, has clunky interaction and movement but who need that to enjoy the game right?
Just bought the PS5 Pro and having a major military game itch that needs scratched. Spent hours trying to find a good military game that sticks to what a military game should be and finally found this game. I’m about to load in now :)
Do you notice much difference between the ps5 and ps5 pro when it comes to gaming and performance in general ?
@@latertoesNot sure yet. I haven’t had it long enough to push its limits yet. As of right now I notice nothing lol
@@kdparrent thanks for the reply, I was just thinking about the insane cost of it and was wondering if it is that much better than a regular ps5
I hate that they ported this game to PS5. Now we gotta listen to every one screeching through their controller 🤮
Do you really hate this muffin 😢
They really patched it up very hard.
the death of cod and bf has come
Eh I doubt it. Arma is plagued with issues.
@@loubloom1941 since the update yeah, before that conflict worked perfect with a.i, now they bug out and you cant even get them to drive anymore, once next update comes it will be back to normal
Game is garbage. Could be fun but it’s a buggy mess!
I got the game today did the tutorials so we will see how this goes
How goes it?
Best vid I’ve seen so far. Learned more in this than any how to videos
Thank you very much, it really means a lot!
DAYZ REBORN
Arma, Hell Let Loose, Squad, Insurgency >>> COD, BF
Every one in the comments kissing a games ass that looks like my ps2 pooped out. The gunplay is ass especially firing from the hip it looks like CS Go and the fact the game is so damn complex. HLL and Insurgency for the win.
Project reality was at this level 10 years ago.
Good review. I'll try it
Been waiting for a game like this
