Bro I've been saying this even on discord. I also ran a server for MONTHS that was this exact game mode (very familiar with Iron he's cool af) but I couldn't convince W.C.S. or DarkGru ppl to join because for some strange reason, console players in this really **** ride specific servers even tho much better options exist.
6:00 I love this because players when engaged without a suppression system will generally just snap their weapons to that general direction and start shooting the assailant. With this system, players are encouraged to fall back and reassess the situation without compromising their team by unloading every bullet known to man at an enemy that probably has fire superiority. Being fired at IRL does have a dampening effect to your senses, it's a very haunting experience, and I think you've nailed that through the sound dampening and radial blur.
lol at 5:28 that's me shooting at you. XD It's nice to know that I was so accurate. I was using the "battle zero"/440m setting on the AK and you guys just happened to be 440m away from me. I would have kept shooting but I was very low on ammo. I'm glad it made for some nice footage. I love how suppression sounds in this game.
@SirIronbeard lol, I'm glad that I have made an impression. I do love to engage targets from as far as I possibly can. I believe that it is an underutilized tactic that can be practical even in vanilla conflict. You can often find me in vanilla pubs 500+ meters from enemy objectives putting down fire for 10+ minutes, ideally with one or two other guys, while another squad pushes the capture zone. It causes chaos for the enemy, and makes it hard to stop me. At that distance it’s hard to hit me, even with a sniper. Flanks are also harder to pull off because of the time commitment it takes, plus I have more time to spot them coming. Another factor is that bullets are just less lethal at that distance because of loss of velocity due to air friction. In the video it sounds like you got hit twice but it wasn’t much of an issue for you. I also just love how getting shot at from 500+m sounds and looks in this game, so I love when they start shooting back. XD I love seeing my effects in your videos because I usually never get to see the chaos I cause. I can only imagine what it’s like. Thanks for including it. P.S. fun fact, during the game before this you killed me while I was next to a BTR on a ridge line setting up to do suppressive fire at your position. XD
@@rampantporcupineandfriends3793 Hmmmmmmm, you know... I'm usually on the objectives when I play Reforger and hadn't really considered using this type of tactic, but I think you're selling me on the effectiveness. I wonder what can be achieved when coordinating with an assault team. The depth of tactics and strategy in this game continue to impress. Next time we play, I'd love to shadow you for a round or two.
@SirIronbeard I'm glad I could pique your curiosity. :) I would love to try this tactic with you next time we are on. I’ve been trying this tactic for a month or so now ever since I saw this video. ua-cam.com/video/tYdfcFZexgM/v-deo.htmlsi=gsDqc2U1oWuj5QJM I find that in practice a lot of what he theorizes is true. I’d love a chance to have a team work with me to test these theories out. This tactic is one of the main reasons why I am excited for AI commanding. Having AI to act as a fire team, assault team, or as guards/alarms to watch your back while putting down suppressive fire would be a big buff for this play style.
Dude !! Thank you so much for this ! I sit and stare at this in the workshop for hours never downloading it cause I never seen a video of it. This is fucking awesome dude.
Great video mate. I have been spouting off about this mod for ages in my group...i think they all think im mental...but this vid explains it perfectly and have shared it in the TAW discord. :)
new to reforger and new to your channel but fantastic vid. as someone who knows absolutely nothing, this gave me a want to play a game mode. appreciate your hard work
I think a good class/ role system would be what ever class you choose dictates what your able to get in the arsenal. So people can customize their clothes and change small things like picking between a full sized rifle or carbine.
Indeed! I'd like to have something like Bacons loadout editor that only shows you the equipment that is available for that class/role - with the arsenal available for odds and ends.
Conflict but with one life per "Round" Team A select point which want to attack, Team B spawns there maybe team A have second respawn. (Also attacking side have more points to get more vehicles, defending side could build trenches) Who dies goes to spectator, next round team changing sides. Round last about 10 minutes. We play something like this on Arma 3 for more than 10 years, but have 4 scenarios, 2 on Fridays, 2 on Saturdays, so value of in-game life is very high and precious
I've thought about trying something similar. Perhaps 1 life per objective. You die, you go into spectator until next objective is complete. Have you found that people in spectator exploit it with their group/friends on discord?
Why keep the 3rd person for driving:(( Ambushing vehicles, especially armored ones is much harder with it enabled. I am aware that back mirrors for driving are not working yet, but with so much emphasis of this mod put to teamwork you can just have.. your teammate tell you exactly where to reverse or if you're stuck on something.
this is awesome as a arma reforger content creator myself im def gonna make a vid on this on a public server if there is on up ppl are playing on, is there?
@@SirIronbeard I am not familiar. Does that mean "yes" you can see everyone on the map? Also how come that is not a vanilla feature, Im sure we used to be able to see each other in most game modes in Arma 3 back in the day...
2 minutes in and I have no clue what you even do in this mod, I'm sure the systems theory stuff is cool and all but the intro is way too long I'm not sitting through 3 minutes of you going on about theories, that's not an overview that's like an in-depth behind the scenes on the theory behind.
@@SirIronbeard Bro if you want people to take interest in your work you have to respect their time and explain upfront what you're even talking about to get them interested, or they won't be. Honestly your smug reply says it all.
This guy needs to be a developer. His ideas are always so amazing. Keep it up Ironbeard your videos are the best!
Thanks, you made my day! 😁

Ideally the sound dampening would have a haunting resonance filter that makes the shots of whoever is suppressing you stand out above everything else
Sensational stuff! Great work, dude! I really like all the changes you’ve made to the vanilla experience. I’ll definitely be giving this a go!
Thanks man! Look forward to running into you again!

Ah man I had a feeling it was probably either you or rage! You usually engage targets from beyond 400 meters?

Haha thanks! I too stare at the screen for hours, but probably for different reasons :D
very cool man! people like you are pushing this game to another level
This is GREAT! Thank you for working on this, Iron!
My pleasure!
Great video mate.

I know what you mean! Keep making content and eventually more people will see that they are missing out on all the fun you're having :D
@@SirIronbeard I'm trying.
I may have a vid today/tomorrow
Amazing job man!! this is so cool.
Thank you! Cheers!
Finally someone is doing gods work for the base game
Haha thanks :)
new to reforger and new to your channel but fantastic vid. as someone who knows absolutely nothing, this gave me a want to play a game mode. appreciate your hard work
Awesome, thank you! Reforger offers some very special experiences :)
You're a genius, man. Finally I feel like jumping in reforger
Secretly watching this at work! :)
What discord are you in trying to join.
this seems really cool, been doing tdm & domination style ops for PvP friday's on my server, will definitely be using this next
i just saw this in my mods 5 min ago when i was doing singleplayer. didnt see this until rn

@@SirIronbeard this based on "arma 3 dtas" Dynamic Take And Secure (DTAS).
Regarding spectator you can limit to
only friendlies and only 1st person
Great ideas
Best-mode-ever-period
😁😁😁😁
he aint lying!
Long awaited video! No need to explain everyone what it is anymore, thanks a lot @SirIronbeard!😅
Brilliant delivery as always 💪
Thank you very much! Indeed it's been a long time coming :)
When Bohemia is half-assing their games, we can always rely on the modders to pick up the MASSIVE slack
Yes, this is perfectly what I had in mind - I hope this takes root.
Me too, brother!
Keep up the great work!
wooooow
Thumbs up, mate!
certified hood classic
this sounds really good, hope your server has a free slot for me 😅
Absolutely! Hope to see you there!
Bro sounds like the voice behind the dev blogs
;)
awesome
Interested in a video on how to develop a new scenario. And I'm def joining your Discord asap
Thanks for letting me know!
50 views in 30 minutes? Bro is cooking
I don't expect many views for this one :)
@@SirIronbeard more views than subscribers later

Holy cow man . . . Good job
I'm thinking of added this amazing mod to my server but I'm more into PVE. Is this possible with this mod?
I have to watch these ads on a metered connection...fun
this is awesome as a arma reforger content creator myself im def gonna make a vid on this on a public server if there is on up ppl are playing on, is there?
Looks nice but I only found one server with high ping and less than 10 players. Maybe have to check again later
When I open the map can I see myself and all friendly units on it?
That is the one thing keeping me from playing Reforger.
We ourselves are using the Player Map Markers mod on our server, which may be different depending on the server you go to.
@@SirIronbeard I am not familiar. Does that mean "yes" you can see everyone on the map? Also how come that is not a vanilla feature, Im sure we used to be able to see each other in most game modes in Arma 3 back in the day...
So is this mode like Advance and Secure from Squad?
It's been compared to that, yes :)

Great video! Will the server have cross-platform?
Yes, our server is crossplay :)
Can anybody join these lobbies. If so what are Names of servers?
Yessir! Our server is called Band of Beardos
Base game arma reforger conflict is lacking so much everything you’ve done in your game mode is what I would like to see in vanilla conflict
Me too! Personally, I would settle for just suppression and no 3rd person for infantry
W.C.S. and Darkgru should take notes.
Fr 3rd person perspective is just ridiculous and unnecessary
I wish you could see in the server brower, if the server has the "free wallhack" available or not.
PvE?
There are AI enemies but this is mainly focused around PVP
2 minutes in and I have no clue what you even do in this mod, I'm sure the systems theory stuff is cool and all but the intro is way too long I'm not sitting through 3 minutes of you going on about theories, that's not an overview that's like an in-depth behind the scenes on the theory behind.
Next time I'll be sure to get your permission to talk about the history/thinking behind my own mod and videos
Maybe next time he'll add a split screen with family guy funny moments to hold your attention a bit better
You're the exact kind of player that this system is trying to weed out.
@@Danlovestrivium Is that why there are no players on the server actually playing it? Another interesting theory from this community though for sure.
