One key flaw, which is also in Sahara, is that it isn't compatible with the base game. It should be. Some theories is that Bohemia no longer has the staff base to do the base game integration, as they've all moved over to Arma 4. Shame
@@harosokman I see what you're saying, but Reaction Forces was developed by a 3rd party for Arma - whilst Apex was made in-house. Just convince your friends to get Reaction Forces, problem solved! 😁
@ChewieGames very true, but I'd love to be able to use those assets in the normal game, it's the same timeline afterall, unlike say, Global Mobilisation, or SOG. The desert skins for base game vehicles are awesome.
Thank you for this review! I am kinda baffled at the lack of proper reviews from other prominent content creators. I don't know if most have moved on from Arma altogether or it is just a phenomena with this particular CDLC
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in this CDLC. It's a DLC for a game that is over 10 years old, and many people never liked the 2035 setting of the base game. There would probably have been more interest if it came with a terrain, as it is, there isn't much of a reason for the people that don't like the 2035 setting to get it. It's too bad, this is a really cool CDLC.
@@stburr91 You are correct! I would get it if it was integrated to the base Game like the Art of War DLC but as a stand alone dlc is not worth it because like that there don't be any servers using the content in like a month. To Bad BI did not have the vision to adapt this cdlc to what the fanbase wants
while playing the fire mission (its actually fun ngl) i remembered that this isnt really the first time we had something like this because in the ACR expansion for arma 2 you had a mission in which you took a rubber boat and had to traverse a flooded town collecting people together with your dog or somehting like that , its a nice break from the usual running and gunning
Well remembered! As I said in the video, I love that they've done something a little bit different for people to enjoy. Would love to see more civilain/emergency/humanitarian stuff for the Arma series!
Bear in mind I'm running this on a 1070Ti (ancient technology at this point), so your mileage may vary: Texture: Ultra Objects: Very High Terrain: Very High (These first 3 make the most difference in quality IMO) Shadow: High Particles: High Cloud: Ultra PIP: Ultra Overall Visibility: Between 1500-2000 (depending on map) Objects: ~1200 Shadows: ~100 PIP: 100-200 HDR: Standard Dynamic Lights: Ultra Water Reflections: Very High Can't wait to upgrade so I can crank those up further!
Itd be nice to see a dlc that has a full controller preset in it for xbox controller at least , its possible to do bohemia lies through their teeth 😬 🙄 big time but if they arent willing to bring a couple dlc from arma 3 over to reforger that we can buy if we want to to play on pc and xbox both then the least they could do is make arma3 content more controller friendly
Arma 3 and reforger are completely different - different language, different engine, different everything. The only thing that would be transferred is the model and you would have to rewrite the entire DLC
As a side note, I would love them to release the Arma 3 asset packs for Reforger use in the future. I'm so sick of seeing the same buildings for the last 20 years cos everyone uses the stuff from A2 😂

How do you mean it's not compatible with the base game? I'm not sure I follow, you need the base game to play it?
@@ChewieGames I mean as in, if you have the DLC loaded, people with just the base game can't play with you, unlike with Apex.

@@harosokman are you using the Reaction Forces compatibility data mod? I think that might be the answer to your issue

Yeah, I haven't seen that many videos on it myself tbh. I was worried because it took me a couple weeks longer to finish the video than I'd liked!

@@stburr91 For the price, it's an absolute steal. I think it's a great addition to the game.

Yes, it's a very good price for what you get.
6:25 finally you can do rolling landings without the chopper blowing up !
It's really satisfying when you pull it off. My favourite is using the skids to land with a huey (I know its not RF, but still 😅)

Good and complete review, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks.
What graphics settings do you have? Mine look horrible compared to yours...
Bear in mind I'm running this on a 1070Ti (ancient technology at this point), so your mileage may vary:
Texture: Ultra
Objects: Very High
Terrain: Very High (These first 3 make the most difference in quality IMO)
Shadow: High
Particles: High
Cloud: Ultra
PIP: Ultra
Overall Visibility: Between 1500-2000 (depending on map)
Objects: ~1200
Shadows: ~100
PIP: 100-200
HDR: Standard
Dynamic Lights: Ultra
Water Reflections: Very High
Can't wait to upgrade so I can crank those up further!
I've just bought this CDLC and the cashpoint game mode is not there was it only fore pre release gameplay
It's definitely there. It's only on Malden or Tanoa at the moment.
@@ChewieGames is there a specific way to get the game mode ?
Are you sure you're playing in multiplayer session? I'm not sure you can play it solo
If someone can help me out to be great, I can’t figure out how to spawn these editor for custom missions
Which bit are you trying to spawn in?
@@ChewieGames what do you mean I am in the Vr map on edter
Sorry, not sure I understand the original question then! What is it you're trying to do?
@@ChewieGames I got it do that just join the normal factions
